Buy high, sell low. And folks are still puzzled on how the rich keep getting richer while the poor...well, you know.
β‘οΈπ°π· NEW - South Korea's President tells police and civil officials that hate speech and misinformation spread on social media must be considered a "crime that goes beyond the limits of freedom of expression" and must be severely punished as it "is a threat to democracy."

"...is a threat to democracy" translates to ... is a threat to the State's legitimacy.
Grok, Leo, & Perplexity mostly.
How about they keep the $2000 and repeal the 16th Amendment once and for all since the State is now flush with cash?
They now have a populist representative.
When the unheard find someone who speaks directly to the things that keep them up at night, and proposes, quite literally, anything to cure those woes, expect the Overton window to shift dramatically in favor of those proposals in the coming years.
Making fun is not the way.
People made the mistake with the populist right. They poked fun, name called, etc. Look how it galvanized the MAGA movement. These insults became a badge of honor.
We need to collectively begin understanding these folks, steelmanning their positions, and offering better solutions in a language they understand.
Else, one of these pendulum swings will be the last for our civilization.
That's deep, Hombre. I thought it was a naΓ―vetΓ© / indoctrination thing. This seems plausible as well.
I agree.
We should celebrate the achievements of those who have built the foundation we stand on and carry on building for posterity.
It would be bad form to turn one's back on years, decades, and centuries of distilled wisdom and proven practice.
My only argument here is that my pride and self-esteem are tied to my own contributions and achievements, not the work of others that I happen to share race or culture with.
"We" achieved nothing if I haven't done sh-t. They've (individual innovators, doers, and all those who fostered them) have logged their achievements and now it's my turn to continue building.
I would never say what one can or can't do, only that how I perceive it.
Gotcha, I read the copy and hopped into the comments too quickly.
These LLMs are goofy when approached like a vending machine.
They're making assertions in all directions depending on who they're responding to and sources gathered and synthesized for that particular query.
Front-loading context through prompt-stacking makes them intelligent thinking partners.
Otherwise, they seem to ebb and flow with internet sentiment.
Black and Jewish pride must be gen pops' jam these days.
Unsolicited $0.02:
I get your meaning and see where you're going here.
I however, find automatic pride or self-esteem that comes from the achievements of others in our racial/cultural groups in history bizarre.
Feels like a form of collectivism which inevitably leads to tribalism and racism by both majorities and minorities.
I reserve pride and self-esteem for personal achievements and impact I've had in my own lifetime.
We can and should all celebrate the achievements of the things you listed in your original commentary by focusing on the individuals who pushed the limits of human potential.
This can occur across culture, race, heritage, etc. and has more to do with promoting human excellence than with feeling pride for sh-t we had no part in.
Make new secrets at a faster clip?
This sounds defeatist.
Encryption, anonymous payment systems, peer-to-peer markets, and local community action are all tools for proactively defending privacy against state and corporate encroachment.
Privacy is an ongoing struggle and accomplishment rather than an irreversible loss.
Gotcha, I don't do anything that maxes these out so my systems generally cruise on old hardware.
I suppose use cases requiring robust compute wouldn't be served well by repurposing old hardware paired with a Linux distro.
To your original point, better to evaluate a Linux OS on hardware that matches or exceeds the demand of whatever load you put on it regularly.
Linux is more efficient than Windows but it's not magic.
π, I almost exclusively run my Linux distros on 10 year old+ hardware and they run just peachy.
Currently using Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS on a laptop and desktop that each meet that criteria. They both run great.
No, I do use a tsp of MCT oil and 1/8 tsp of Redmondβs Real Salt in my coffee though.
Iβll try butter soon.
