    I don’t feel like the 4000 series ever really got to easily available at MSRP prices.

    But on top of that I know a lot of folks skipped the last couple generations because the scalping was outrageous.

    I hate it though. They’re not wrong that the companies selling or making GPUs could easily solve the problem, but they just don’t care.

    Good morning sir/ma’am I’m here to tell you about our Lord and Savior Linus Torvalds. He sacrificed his wallet to bring you a free and open operating systems. We don’t judge what flavor of Linux you use. As long as you agree that Linus saved us from Bill Gates who stole ancient secrets from the ruins of Xerox Parc and has since embraced the evil that is bloat ware.

    Through Linux you can be saved!


  • Yeah, not what we want to be supporting. The Posse Comitatus act is there for a reason. I’d rather we don’t start supporting use of the federal military as law enforcement.

    And I hate to say it, but pretty sure the reason they haven’t been activated federally is because they’re worried calling that bluff might not work out well and escalate the confrontation, potentially leading to something worse.

    Frankly this is awful. But also something manufactured to sound a lot worse. From a states rights perspective this isn’t that different from states legalizing marijuana while it’s federally controlled and illegal.






  • Why should a company get to use my work and data for free to train their AI, for which they’ll make a ton of money, without compensating me. At a minimum they should be informing me so I can make that choice with full knowledge.

    This isn’t a university or educational research either, this is one of the largest companies in the world with Billions of dollars in annual revenue. And to top it off, I already have to pay them for their operating system and annually for their office suite. So not only am I paying them for their product, they’ll then steal my data to train an AI to try and sell that to us too?

    That’s not even taking into account any concerns with “AI might replace me at my job” that a number of folks have.
