There’s that, but also Larry Ellison is a fucking monster and massive Trump booster. The Paramount deal that got rid of Colbert was due to the Ellison family owning Skydance, which just acquired Paramount.
Also Oracle is an enemy of OpenSource, they acquired Sun and MySQL and OpenOffice, then attempted to destroy them. Oracle can rot in hell.
Microsoft is worse than Google, Oracle is worse too. I mean yeah, boycott Google, but fuck Microsoft and Oracle extra hard.
Yes, and if you watch the interview he was a lot more explicit. The monologue and skit were satirical, but they still had some bite.
I briefly got into Eve when the science and exploration path got added, but I bounced off largely due to the player base. Why go out and find rare blueprints just so assholes can use them to grief people. Eventually you realize the only way to win is not to play.
The deaths from Obama’s drones were no less judicial than the deaths from Bush’s troops, both were carried out within the definition of the ‘war on terror’, which was approved by Congress.
Trump’s strike on that Venezuelan boat was outside of the approved scope.
I have absolutely encountered this online and offline, a lot of people understand the attack as being justified by the oppressive conditions the Gaza strip was kept in. Personally I think it’s possible for two opposing things to both be bad/wrong.
I think there’s a lot of people who don’t like Israel or Hamas. It’s complicated by the fact Hamas is more like a political party than a nation. If it was Israel vs Palestine I think more people would support Palestine.
And play fetch with Commander.
The national guard of the 1600s was organized around fighting american indians to assist with the colonization of North America.
The modern national guard wasn’t formed until the Dick Act of 1903, after which they were almost immediately used to suppress labor strikes. You can look into the Colorado Labor Wars or the Ludlow Massacre for some contemporary examples.
I think it’s all made up. The most power hungry data center in the world consumes 150MW of power, and that’s from a massive 11 million square foot facility in China that’s significantly larger than any other data center.
EDIT: an hour of heavy thinking does consume approximately 12 watt hours though, so that figure seems reasonable.
People say this, but almost every time the time interval is left off it’s hours.
Either way, the numbers in this meme are clearly made up. Most image generation uses fewer than 10 watt hours.
So like the size of a horse?
The average horse is about half the height and weight of the average giraffe. Giraffes are just a really bad unit of measurement, males weight about 400kg more than females and there is a wide height difference over their global population, they are technically four different species we just all call giraffe 🦒
They aren’t saying “religion bad”, that’s a strawman. The sentiment is that theocracies are bad, which seems pretty obvious. In much the same way police states are bad; there has never been a theocratic regime that hasn’t used their power to oppress other religions.
Theocracies oppress religious minorities in much the way ethnostates oppress ethnic minorities, and patriarchies oppress women and gender minorities. We don’t need to structure the state around religion like that, it’s a recipe for disaster.
I know this is Lemmy where we’re all on Linux already, but a lot of people out there still use Windows, and that’s a massive source of income and control for Microsoft that people could stop using. At the very least they could cancel OneDrive.
