Is it tho

They could have probably found an image of someone actually staring at the camera

I am a programmer.

I dunno. The current state of the world might be making me more conspiracy-minded, but this feels like it was always part of the plan.

Introduce surveillance tech that Peter Thiel can use to spy/sell/whatever, announce that you’re using it, expecting people to get angry, and now in the 11th hour, after harvesting all the data they get to announce “we’re removing the evil software! We’re the good guys again!”

I recognize that the current state of affairs is having me see demons everywhere, but I just can’t bring myself to give discord a pat on the back.

Sorry, I only have a YouTube link for this: https://youtu.be/ROFblZ_-9q4

If you haven’t seen it, Wyse (Ring competitor) released a pretty funny ad about this.

Nah, since the 80s at the earliest. The wealthiest were taxed up to 90% and corporations didn’t get the tax loopholes they have now until Reagan took office.

Good example, especially given that it looks like a Russian oligarchy is where we’ve been headed since 2016

I’m not an economist, so here’s my ass talking, but I don’t think your example scales out. I think you’re making the mistake of equating the stock market to the economy. It isn’t.

Not everyone wins in a failing economy. If one billionaire makes out, three more lose money.

Windows 12 will be the first vibe-coded OS

Innovate only when it’s necessary. In the meantime, perfect what exists.

Pro tip: These puzzles are always best solved by working backwards.

If they’re selling bitlocker as “full-disk encryption”, doesn’t that open them up to a class action since encryption with a backdoor isn’t encryption?

Yeah. That’s why demos are a thing.

Do they know what “strive” means?

These specs were probably AI generated.

Someone created an account on polymarket in mid-December and made exactly 4 bets predicting military action and results between US and Venezuela/Maduro by the end of January totaling $36k and was able to cash out nearly half a million dollars because of it.

One of the women in blackpink started carrying a labubu around. That’s pretty much it.

I had to look it up too.

I was thinking “who the fuck thinks it’s a good idea to run an Olympics-style sporting event that encourages PED use?” until I got to this part in the article:

“…with backing by Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr…”

Oh, okay, that makes sense. It’s just backed by two of the worst people on the planet. They’re probably hoping to see people die in these games.

I wrapped for two different families, including mine, this year. My wife works super hard, and this is something I can do to help.

I’m in this comment and I hate it.
