Theee things: He’s absolutely stupid. He’s a self-centered narcissist. He’s immune to consequences.

The confluence of the two and the power he has lets him do a lot of self-serving…well, everything. From money to bullying to whatever.

And his position protects him from any consequences. Which lets him keep doing everything he’s been doing.

How he thinks he can make more billions by forcing yet another subscription model that takes ownership away from individuals.

Instead of ever-bigger screens thanks to flip open folding displays, how about the same size phone that flips open to an easily usable qwerty board?

Fuck I hate this timeline where we throw money at people for being on one team or the other. I mean, good for him and all, but this is BS.

Since when does the DoJ base their decisions on how to enforce the law on public opinion? What the ever loving f**k kind of law is that? Oh, the fake kind they make up as they go along.

Yep, but what we had access to was far, far different than what we see today. I wouldn’t have a problem with basic features like FTP, telnet, newsgroups or whatever, but the content will be limited. Gonna be back to dialup speeds.

I’m not sure compression would solve the issue I mentioned - this would be probably more akin to using Napster to DL a song in 2001 via dialup, or trying to get an image off a newsgroup at best. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be useful, just very limited. Like I said, you’re not getting a full distro this way.

I don’t think you’re going to be downloading a linux distro over this system. It’s probably just going to be text and the most basic data,

Nope. Anticheat won’t work.

V and 1 sucked, IMO. 2042 was better. 6 is a pretty game world, lots of detail, but they still have some bugs and balance issues to work out.

BF as well.

Yep. Because a lot of games require a substantial portion of the magazine to get a kill. So if you miss a few shots you need everything you have to make the kill.

Love that the “report your neighbor” SS is getting the tables turned on them.

Cornered bullies with guns are going to shoot more people.

We don’t need ICE. We’ve got so many overlapping alphabet agencies we don’t need yet another bloated gestapo. ICE, CBP, USCIS, etc. a warrant to a local PD to arrest someone should be sufficient, not a convoy of masked military cosplay racists shooting people because their fee fees got hurt.

Whatever. They’ll just put another PoS Nazi in her place.

One of the shittiest humans on the planet is in charge and fucking things up, here’s a completely unlikely event that would fix nothing that could happen.

I figure I would just stop at greed. I don’t think there’s incompetence, they know what they’re doing to maximize profit. Our concerns being DIY PC builders are pretty low on their radar.

Never attribute to profit?

Just trying to kill the DIY PC market. You will buy the Paystation, Xbox, and Steam machine and like it. No user upgradable hardware. Only upgradable models. All non-console GPUs, CPUs, and DRAM are for AI alone.
