Now is that number total in actual money or in fake internet money?

We were all here for the historic moment where "alleged gropers" really came into their own as a political donor demographic.

Well, minimum 32 years, as presumably there would be some inbox time and drafting time on either end, misunderstandings and subsequent discussion being so critical to avert when followups take a while.

I came here for his full-throated support of Apple Music staying installed no matter what and I am so sorely disappointed.

Last year, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, came out against the effort by Próspera to exploit the dispute resolution system to undermine Honduran sovereignty. “In the case of Próspera,” they write, “a ZEDE located largely on the Honduran island of Roatán, investors have created a governing council where 44 percent of members are appointed by the private company and 22 percent are elected by landowners in a system where their number of votes is proportional to the size of their property.”

Why are they being described as crypto-libertarians when it turns out they are moving the electoral clock back two hundred years to before the abolishment of rotten boroughs? That's a significantly conservative political arrangement there.

I'm always very nonplussed about what claims to pass for thought in white nationalist crowds.

The stopped-clock moment in this whole is definitely where he dimly grasps that Republican audiences are way more openly positive to white nationalism than they were.

A really good lesson on offline backups of things like issue trackers, though.

This whole festival sounds like it could have used conflict of interest subtitles. When somebody's voice is saying "I actually think that AI (blah, blah)" there's one subtitle with the words and another with phrasing such as "(Person)'s annual stock award will be increased by (number)% if paid subscriptions to (company)'s AI product rise by (number)%."

This is only one of a vast number of possible AI hellscapes. https://awful.systems/post/1061543

I know that crowd's politics are ultra-reactionary, and yet it's still fascinating just how few ideas the tech revanchists have that aren't "this thing is bad and should be rolled back". Do they have any ideas developed from socially acceptable principle at all?
