Synthetic urine?

It’ll take the politicians in other countries being willing to say no to bribes from US corporations.

Because the actions that need to be taken involve sanctions on the US and seizing the assets (including patents and trademarks) of US-owned corporations. And refusing to act as a tax haven for them anymore.

But that would benefit everyone while lessening the ability of politicians to enrich themselves with money from oil stolen from Venezuela and money exploited from US citizens. Let’s see how noble your politicians are. We know ours are shit.

Or maybe the AI bubble will pop and remove the incentive to kowtow to the interests of American corporations.

Why are so many Americans here calling for outside help to their internal problem with a bunch of criminal leaders?

Because attempts from within have failed.

They’re making way less than they could be because of lopsided “free” trade agreements.

Dangerous to whom?

They are becoming less beholden by the day for reasons Doctorow laid out.

No. My wife doesn’t ask bullshit questions just to start arguments out of insecurity. And my mother is dead. No, she did not drown.

In light of recent events, other countries should simply stop recognizing US intellectual property claims as valid.

Valve certainly put in the lion’s share of effort in making Linux a hospitable environment for gamers. Without their hard work, the rise in popularity of Linux simply wouldn’t be possible, and I had no intention of belittling that.

Valve made sure there were life rafts. Microsoft provided the iceberg.

I still gripe about phones without removable batteries. They design the lifetime of the phone to be limited to its shortest-lived component. And I’m convinced that they design charging ports to break.

If Windows crosses a the threshold of “major OEMs start shipping Linux,”

Does Valve count?

It didn’t, we worked hard for it over the years. So yeah, a “thank you” would be nice.

None is forthcoming. Just more whining that fortnite won’t run because it requires a rootkit.

Turns out, there were a lot of users, primarily gamers, who were considering giving Linux a chance. Microsoft gave them the push they needed.

Plus, when the bubble pops and you’re the only human to touch it, they’re not gonna blame the ai that shat it out.

He is what he chooses to be.

Well maybe if people could just say the three words right, they wouldn’t need to.

And prefer it over doing anything.

Can’t stand out. Cops’ll notice you.

The message is “we need a deus ex machina right about here.”

I have some very hot takes about the efficacy of the Sailor Scouts given exactly how much Tuxedo Mask does.

How much he does? He throws a flower and talks.
