This article doesn’t really live up to the headline.

I read to see why it’s worse than it seems, and the reason given is that Tesla isn’t competitive or popular.

That’s not really worse than it appears. That’s just as bad as it appears.

Which is really bad. But there’s no second shoe in the article. I want my two minutes back.

I just set up a Nextcloud server this weekend, and this is the second time since I’ve heard people complaining about it.

I guess I should try some of the alternatives.

He is a former Marxist?? I find that bewildering, hilarious, and doubtful.

I think it’s great when people have open enough minds to radically rethink their beliefs, but I hope I’m never so brainrotted as to somehow strawman my own former beliefs.

This meme doesn’t work because a conservative literally bought me a copy of that book and it’s infantile.

This book is titled “Basic Economics” because Sowel is a troll, and the economics in his book are largely correct but incomplete to the point of misinforming people. This is an incredibly “conservative” book through-and-through.

This is really cool. I love how things like Wikipedia just show how weirdly f’d up our whole society is by doing something without extracting maximum compensation and breaking systems.

This is kind of weird timing, because “No Other Land” just won an Oscar.

No offense, but that’s conspiracy nonsense.

There are plenty of real conspiracies. You don’t need to l look for the goofball ones.

Honest take? A lot in the short term, but probably quite little beyond that. Maybe Harris won and a Nazi would win after that, or Vance would win on a similarly radical platform. But this won’t pass until we identify a replacement. But there’s no simply avoiding what we’re going through.

Can you prevent someone from setting up local instances of Deepseek? It’s open source. How would this define Chinese models?

Agreed. Avakian is fascinating because he’s so entitled in the article. If someone doesn’t want to buy his product he just rails against how unfair they were to him.

Bro: it’s business. If your product were nearly as good as you claim it is, you wouldn’t need to force people into using it.

Also, the end of the article points out that Walgreens has been terribly mismanaged and is a very low-performing company, and they’re still experimenting with screens, just not with Avakian. Hilarious.

I’m sorry he hasn’t liked it, but critique is how we get better. Hope Mastodon keeps growing.

I believe today is actually the sixty-fifth of the month.

The seventy-second is next Sunday.

This sounds cool, but too technical for me to follow.

That makes a lot of sense.

That looks much more like a data artifact than an accurate representation of behavior.

I think that the trajectory of the three low dots matches the overall slope very closely in a way that looks far more like a flat subtraction of all three. If it was behavioral, I think you’d see the behavior come and go over the course of several days.

Damn, that’s rad as fuck

That looks very pretty. How old is the kid?

Can I offer some constructive critique?

This meme is getting downvoted because it is both a fairly dumb concept but also a very unsatisfying execution.

You need to take your idea and communicate it in a meme response. It could be a meme representing confusion or sarcasm, but adding “Breaking New…” as bottom text is really not going to go well even if everyone thought your opinion was good.

You messed up the format.

The caption should be “Why would Socialism do this?”

This looks like a clog caused by retraction.

Is it clogged when it finishes? Also, does the cooling change at this layer? Is there anything specific to this layer?
