Weren’t they only concerned about the drugs? /s

Yes, exactly, and if the USA can do what they please why should other countries comply with it? It creates a dangerous precedent and an example for other authoritarian regimes. And I am afraid that Venezuela is just the beginning.

RIP International law.

RIP International law

On 5 December 1994, at a ceremony in Budapest, Ukraine joined Belarus and Kazakhstan in giving up their nuclear arsenals in return for security guarantees from the United States, the UK, France, China and Russia.

This aged like fine milk.

Sadly, one man’s tragedy is another man’s opportunity.

AI should also be taxed proportionally then. And they should be liable and not exempt of copy rights infringements.

I believe most of the companies are doing it to inflate their share prices.

Pretty much what is happening in the Middle East right now too. And mind you if Venezuela didn’t have oil, the US wouldn’t care at all.

Same. That’s for me a red flag that a company took the enshittification path and things will get progressively worse.

Plus I would rather support an open source project that benefits the whole community than a greedy company who is trying to milk their customers.

I will be very much surprised if they haven’t secured and locked the prices of all their components for a year or two ahead, so this should not be a factor. Probably they are just waiting to see what will happen with the tariffs and tasting the sentiment of the market for such a device.

I presume they will sell it almost at cost or even at loss, as this will eventually increase their game sales overall.

Tell us you don’t have kids without telling us you don’t have kids

Why is our company valued at 4 trillions instead of 10 trillions. Those peaky humans are not buying enough of our shares. /s

I don’t know but I am constantly hitting the RAM limit with 16Gb of RAM with around 20-30 open tabs and other apps, both on Linux and Windows

While I am also an atheist like you, I don’t think that religion per se is the culprit here, just the interpretation of it by some individuals and the weaponisazation of it for sowing division and hatred. Oftentimes it is also used to control people and that’s harmful.

This at the moment is a clear Ponzi scheme.

OpenAI or Nvidia announces some partnership or a deal for X amount of billions. As a result the valuation of the recipient company goes straight to the sky, increasing the market valuation of said company X-times more.

And then try to tell me this isn’t a bubble.

The key term is declining, not reversed.

It’s not only coding.

Idiocracy incoming in 3, 2, 1

Isn’t the US responsible for those restrictions in the first place?
