Depends on whether the dictatorship is competent or incompetent. Businesses need years of lead time to negotiate deals, build factories, make a profit. But they can’t make plans for the future with a government that is run by idiots. That’s a guaranteed money-loser.

And by “AI” they’ll just have the kids solve captchas for 2 hours.

Every game I bought on Steam under Windows runs great on Steam in Linux Mint. The few games I didn’t buy on Steam (Deus Ex, Giants: Citizen Kabuto) run great on Wine, using the default settings.

Adopting Proton was the smartest thing Valve ever did. They’re going to get about 90% of gamers migrating from Windows to Linux, who don’t want to fiddle with configuration settings.

The, “link that went down 20 years ago” is a great touch.

No, you immediately squealed “racism” rather than make an argument for the contributions of rap / hiphop. I imagine this tactic has worked for you many times.

No, it’s just shit music. Thanks for playing the “racism” game.

Reply to them in a “really? Aren’t you just adorable” tone of voice. Don’t engage with what they’re saying but treat them way you would treat a puppy that has just learned not to crap on the rug. Or a mental patient.

“Trump says he’s going to fix everything two weeks after he takes office!”

“Really? That’s amazing! Here I was thinking that you hadn’t thought this through, when clearly you had.”

Rap and hip-hop. The “message” of EVERY rap song is “look at my dick.” It’s pathetic pointless crap, that’s one step above banging rocks together.

Yup. It’s not about the “gays vs the straights” or the “left vs the right” or the Romulans vs The Federation. It’s about the rich vs everybody else. It’s a class war. It always has been and the rich use the media they own to make you think it’s a culture war. To keep you fighting with other so you won’t figure out where the REAL source of your pain comes from.

“I know of no reason why CEO open season should ever be forgot.”

I’m here because Reddit got shitty. And I really wanted a decentralized platform, where one person couldn’t screw things up for everybody else. It’s a lot harder to “take over” a social media platform when it’s spread out over 600 Instances in many different countries.

Dear FBI,

1. Welcome to Lemmy.
2. If you’re looking for a list of suspects, you can start by investigating all of UHC’s denied claims that resulted in a death. Shouldn’t take you more than a decade or so.

He calls himself a "socialist " a “revolutionary” a “man of the people” despite being born into obscene wealth and having nothing in common with “the people.” This is the guy who said, “America deserved 9/11” and has no problems with “imperialism” if it comes from China.

Of course, you don’t have to take my word on any of this. There are plenty of examples of Hassan on YouTube, being a complete dick.

Intel should have pulled it’s 13/14 Gen chips the moment it became clear they had serious problems. Admit you screwed up and fix it.

Continuing to sell something you know is crap is a long-term reputation hit you are NOT going to recover from.

There’s nothing “leftist” about Piker, no matter what he chooses to call himself. People need to pay attention to what he does, not what he says.

I stopped taking the Nobel Peace Prize seriously when both Kissinger and Arafat won them.

Whenever you needed the most depraved, amoral, anti-democratic take on anything, whether it was the Vietnam war or the Khmer Rouge or the civil rights movement, you could always count on Henry farking Kissinger.

So that ‘AI’ car driving software can have an image reference database that relies on people who download porn.

Company-wide email: “We’ve had our best year ever and it’s all thanks to YOU!”

Me: “Great. Can I have a raise?”

“Oh, we can’t afford THAT.”

My favorites are Aramis, LaCoste and 4711.
