Listen to this guy defend trash web browsers to support google! Tell me more about how traditional forums are unacceptable and your daddy with billions for shareholders but not customers has the right idea.

I could make cool websites for the losers who rob everyone around them but the type of people who make a business out of online behavior are actually terrible greedy folks.

I'm on board with not censoring the army of agenda driven liars on 4chan but I just want people to know that they do make up lies and shift public opinion on the payroll of despotic oligarchs. There is no political truth to be had on a

I think you should de-peer from the internet, as someone not interested in pursuing a utilitarian ideal. You have misunderstood what 'the problem' is, like most parasites with a god complex.

Have you considered that spreading false information is common on that forum that i should simply not attend? Maybe the idiots you talk to on 4chan should be held to a higher standard? Or do you think "doing your own research" mea

So true! I wish people would stop eating up the false information from 4chan and whatever else chan, 8chan apparently but the reference got removed. Its a cesspool.

I don't think censorship is a good thing unless it's censoring concerted efforts to spread false information which reshape the political landscape. You are underselling the bullshit that you say "8chan admins" were respo

This is really important. It's time to take history into our own hands given the penchant for erasure by the elites and how dumb the elites have become.

I don't think you have a point, sorry. My post was correct. That forum is abused to create counter-factual q-anon type shit.

It's just a different version of the same thing. In chinas case, they aggressively locked down internet influence. In the wests case, they held off a bit and made up bullshit reasons like saving the children with age verification. I ca

I'm all about liberal freedom, but blocking 4chan would actually help society given how abused it is by counter-intelligence. There is bullshit spewed there constantly and no one should be subject to that trash in a functioning society

Generally speaking, yes, relative to the giants. Smallsoft co at least isn't going to monetize every bit of knowledge about you directly. They'll probably leak stuff to chatgpt and so on, but it depends on the business purpose whe

I sympathise. People just have "bigger" problems that are personal to them. I think i could convince someone not to litter if i knew someone who did, but convincing them they should refuse gifts derived from petroleum, or stop wea

It's very much a matter of of marketing. I think the explanation for why partially hydrogenated oils have been replaced is because there was a viable alternative (palm oil, mainly) and no one was devious enough or saw profit in counter

That's a study that underestimates growth in cost of living, i.e. gouging by rent seekers and businesses, and ignores changes in status, i.e. people leaving the job market or moving down to something worse. It's not surprising tha

Honestly, I don't think Gelsinger is a bad guy. He was handed a mess made by others before him, which in my mind absolves him of some of the blame.

IBM left my once prosperous hometown as a kid. Others followed suit. Since then it's been in a sad state economically, just some rust belt town. Corporations abandoning communities is hardly anything new. Capital acts with 0 empathy, o

By the way, compilers can conceivably do "lowest common denominator" architecture optimization to get decent perf on heterogenous cores as a compromise, without leaning into every optimization for both core types.

Yeah, sorry, everything you're saying is right. Compilers won't do the work for you. I just took issue with the wording about it being unsolved. If we can produce optimal binaries for a given process for multiple architectures we
