I suppose the moral of the story is that one shouldn't fuck around with talking flounders? Or for that matter kneel before every capricious whimsy of a sociopathic control freak of a wife? I don't see the AI connection in any case

What you are is a parasitic liar who's reacting in disaster control spin mode. Extorting these people like that via phone call isn't a mistake, it's an obvious case of directed policy... that then got publicized and triggered

If Trump needed further excuse for bloviating out some more pig-ignorant, economic wrecking ball bullshit with international trade "deals", here it is!

This was the best damn belly laugh I've had all week. Ahh. Thanks for that. "Just fuck me up fam!" You had me spraying coffee by that point All the funnier trying it with links to community church services (baptist no less).

Because this bullshittery is worth pointing out every fucking time: Here's another perfectly valid post on this site, related to previous unflagged posts on the same subject, easily no less relevant than many other non-tech posts that

I don't see the comment's argument as being that this is okay because it's common. It's just pointing out that this is nothing completely new and that it's a shame that it gets pointed out in a selective way when it

Am I missing something? This seems like a pretty banal article about a data hosting provider opening a new center in Amsterdam. Is it a Russian company in violation of sanctions? The name "MIRHositng" doesn't necessarily have

So you would oppose an entire, globe-spanning branch of deeply necessary technology (clean energy) with all its vast opportunities for improvement, innovation, and management under all kinds of more responsible means, because the government

Why you would be downvoted for mentioning this is beyond me. The numbers are well documented and hold up. Compared to every other major source of energy production, nuclear has the lower rate of fatalities by far, by any metric, and this d

And apparently downvoted by four such assholes. Keep acting like idiot children while you flag off and downjerk the things that don't fit your self indulgent political biases.

A boon for the very thing you describe was the Black Death of the 14th century. The colossal depopulation of Europe increased the de facto bargaining power of peasants to the point where they could competitively seek out better labor wages

hahaha. Good point. But seriously, a quick browse of the comments below is full of absurdities: Claims that the BBC is a shill of imperialism (It may very well be to an extent, but that doesn't mean it isn't laying out deep report

Half the American tech landscape is either running toward Trumps bed or bending right down and making all the right mating signals in hopes of some interest, but a few pro-republican comments from the Proton CEO should be held as immediatel

So clear that you can present the least evidence for it aside from the CEO's saying a thing or two that doesn't automatically spit on the current administration?

I've had multiple proton accounts and can vouch for (pure anecdote of course) two of those working fine despite me forgetting to use them completely for at least four years. So not sure how true what you say is. These are both free acc

What an idiotic whataboutism that has nothing to do with my main point. Because people who work for morally ambiguous projects might also be proud of their professional work, nobody working on anything else should be? Or what are you saying

People are sadly out of touch and misguided for scorching an absurdly narrow definition of professional joy that categorizes all manifestations of it as the same stupid thing? Really? None of the millions of people throughout history who ha

Professional joy can be about a lot more than just making as much money as possible. If anything is sad it's that someone fails to understand this basic thing. We're thinking, often fantastically creative beings, and our lives nee
