Corporation hired to win an election measures success in how fast they raise and burn money. Great example for how capitalism eschews value for profit AND how it paves the way for fascism by making fascism the path of least resistance.

Then who is supporting Nancy Pelosi?

Quip aside, let’s bring on the sunlight.

Oracle or someone worse would buy them. That’s how capitalism works.

GitHub definitely would and has in the past. YouTube-dl is on GitHub and gets a pass because it is used by researchers and archivists, both are fair use. forgejo.org would let you be your own fedi-github and might be worth checking out (could be easier than designing a plugin system and additional repos).

Don’t blame me, I voted for Dr Eggman.

Musk just had a judge in Texas say they’re going to review the bid. I guess we know who the other bidder was now.

The call is coming from inside. Google CEO claims it will be like alien intelligence so we should just trust it to make political decisions for us bro: https://www.computing.co.uk/news/2024/ai/former-google-ceo-eric-schmidt-urges-ai-acceleration-dismisses-climate

History starts when I say it does

When I say unhealthy I am not talking about you individually but the impact on the outcome of the discourse. This particular moment isn’t about proving who was right, though there is plenty of other places where that is needed, it is about integrating what we know so we can coalesce.

If that is not nihilism, then it is unhealthy discourse.

Hey pal, nihilism is a valid response but please find a healthier space for it.

He will do half of what he said he would and say that is proof he was joking.

But then how will billionaires get to say they’re literally thinking of the big picture because they got to go on a brief space joy ride?

I hate to say this: the Hummer is actually more practical.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the amount of money spent on private jets by these billionaires in 1 year could replace all our lead pipes in the USA.

Billionaires are celebrities now? Like that’s true for Taylor Swift, but Bezos?

Probably because we’ll all be dead, which also happens to be a solution to climate change.

Next you’ll tell me Hasan said America deserved 9/11…

Yeah, translating “size of their contribution” to a dollar amount is going to be inherently political. If they’re leaving it open ended to let projects figure it out then that could go poorly…

It is like when racists say they’re race realists; it’s because the term “Soviet communism” isn’t that popular.
