No, it’s a desert planet that’s legally distinct from tatooine, but still very obviously inspired by it.

Just like starkiller base was definitely not a death star and this weird mining site in 8 was definitely not inspired by hoth, it’s salt and not snow afterall!!

By getting yourself a passport, a working permit for wherever you want to go and a plane ticket.

“fair and well funded” my ass.

German farmers get over 40% of their income from subsidies and tax cuts already, they’re effectively state owned.

These idiots get squeezed by the food industry and instead of doing anything about it, they cry for more and more subsidies.

And one thing to remember: a whole lot of farmers are just really really not smart. They live in their farmer bubble and if the nazi editor of their farmer magazine claims that refugees steal their corn and woke people want to ban their pork, they’ll believe that.

That doesn’t change anything, tbh.

Apparently these people are at least complacent enough to let Trump become president. And that is horrifying.

Imagine being a doctor in this scenario. You could save them. You have the tools, the capabilities, the facility. But you have to let them die or risk ruining your own life. There are no winners here.

Even if you completely disagree with his position (which I don’t), you should actually want politicians like him. He’s the only politician who actually and consistently really explains himself. He clearly gives you arguments pro and con, states his assumptions and conclusions. That’s exactly how a leader should behave. Yet, he’s getting ridiculed for exactly that.

… Because of the same guy.

He’s actively sabotaging his own government and I don’t even understand why. He’s not gaining anything. It’s not even corruption, he pissed off even the industry.

Six figures only sound good if you don’t know what the costs of living are.

Essentially, you don’t have much buying power so you could move somewhere else, earn less and still have a higher standard of living.

Unless you’re one of the income millionaires or old money, the Valley is not a fun place. It’s fueled by the ambition of young people who throw a few years away hoping for their gold rush.

… And it’s completely unnecessary.

Just because a single delusional libertarian can’t get his ego in check the entire country has to suffer.

It’s interesting in the sense that something went catastrophically wrong here.

This isn’t just a small indie dev wasting a bit of money, it’s hundreds of millions set on fire by an established company in this industry.

The fact that “no one heard of it” is exactly the point. What went wrong here?

It only started this year for me (had this number for 15 years or so), and it’s mostly numbers from the UK and India for some reason (I’m in Germany).

Doesn’t work, unfortunately. It seems to be a 16bit app.

No, it’s pretty obscure, I barely managed to find it at all.

And that’s mostly the “bullshit IoT” category. It’s not like the demand for phones and laptops exploded in the last years, it’s IoT, AI and other useless crap - regardless of the process node.

We could start by not requiring new chips every few years.

For 90% of the users, there hasn’t been any actual gain within the last 5-10 years. Older computers work perfectly fine, but artificial slow downs and bad software cause laptops to feel sluggish for most users.

Phones haven’t really advanced either. But apps and OSes are too bloated, hardware impossible to repair, so a new phone it is.

Every device nowadays needs wifi and AI for some reason, so of course a new dishwasher has more computing power than an early Cray, even though nothing of that is ever used.

What exactly do you think these chips are used for?

Because it’s often enough AI, crypto and bullshit IoT.

I’m 90% sure these deals are a way to funnel money into defense contractors without having a suspicious paper trail.

Overcharge a bit here and there, and by sheer volume you get a nice shadow budget to build and operate things that aren’t even supposed to exist.

*Adolf.

These schemes never work forever. But the big investors usually know when to jump ship.

Not for the shareholders. And that’s exactly the problem.
