There is evil and then there is comic book evil. I guess they go for both.

Legally? Sure, but Russia is also known to kill people outside of Russia too. Although it’s probably not important enough to send agents.

If Russia wanted peace, they could simply go home. They don’t want peace they want land.

There are two bubbles. One is the bubble made by every company under the sun trying to shove AI into their product without any sense of why or how. And wallstreet is buying it up.

Then there is the second bubble. That is the big AI players trying to get AI ready to replace large parts of the workforce. It’s still unclear if that is possible with our current techniques or if we need a scientific breakthrough that might be years or decades away. Still, the tech companies spend money as if that is just around the corner.

Who knowes if these bubbles burst at the same time?

Oh please, it can do so much more: save the economy, fix healthcare, combat global warming, reduce racism,…

Ah, that explains a lot: the name is cursed

And why is that? Perhaps because productivity rises while salaries stagnated? Because the 1% bleed the rest dry? Because all laws and tax codes are written for the wealthy?

No, it’s because of immigrants (somehow)! /s

Hell, even photos from his home are censored… His speed dial list would have been interesting, more then the rest of the photos.

The Evil Ampire gets bought by an evil empire. Huh.

Can’t tax the Billionaires, they would run away

Can’t implement healthcare for all, it would cost too much

Can’t allow people to unionize, it would hurt business

Can’t regulate banks, the free market knows best

Can’t fix tax loopholes, the rich will just find new ones

…

I could go on. For the every common sense solution there is a lie from the right, why it would not work. Always the same disproven lies, repeated like a mantra.

In workers rights and beyond.

One ginger, two ginger… Lot of redheads around today

Gaming PC and a dice bag

Quite easily explained: older generations accumulated wealth as they got older, so the central message of the right “I got mine, fuck you” (paraphrased) resonated more with them.

Newer generations only accumulate debt.

He didn’t use an IDE, but I don’t remember what he tried. He also wasn’t a fan of googling stuff. Use the man pages and nothing else.

Here is my story:

There were console outputs after nearly every line. I asked about them: “Oh, I couldn’t get the debugger to work, so I print everything to the console”

This was everywhere. The whole program was like this. On a standard Linux machine. It wasn’t even remote debugging or something. Just a local C++ program.

The filenames where written in 8+3. Again, on a modern Linux machine. His answer? “You never know where we’ll port this software to”

Onto computers that were outdated decades ago? To embedded systems? Of course he had no answer for this except “just in case…”

I could tell you more, that software was the stuff for nightmares.

Ctrl+C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-P. Another hard workday done.

Is it okay to discuss this publicly? As funny as it I’d, I really don’t want Russia to get informed.

Ah yes! One step closer to servitors. Praise the Omnissiah!

I didn’t mean a specific state, I just wanted to imply that terrorists backed by a state - with the money and connections that encompasses - would have the means to do this.

I currently don’t see any state that would wish to cripple the internet. That would hurt indiscriminately.

Perhaps in the future, before a planned attack, to sow chaos. So China or Russia perhaps.

Perhaps North Korea, but I don’t think they have the power or knowledge to do something like that and China would get mad.

In case someone misinterpreted the meme: these are all single points of failure that can take down large parts of the internet.

If a rouge state manages to take down any of these for a more then trivial amount of time, we would suffer enormous amount of financial damage
