    I see this community in my feed all the time but don’t speak, read, or write German, but I can appreciate that it is about Linus vs Windows 11 and so this gets my full support as I assume it is about how good the former is at taking down the latter. Cheers guys keep up the good work and free the tech from the mega corporations.


  • Yes and no, the confederates lost the war but their whitewashing of history has quite a bit of staying power to the point that states like West Virginia and Ohio who had massively supported the Union in the Civil War are now more likely neo confederates and agree with the south take on “the war of northern aggression” which they started by attacking federal forces and raiding federal weapons depots while backing out of the federal government allowing it to pass a law they cite as the reason they backed out of it, rather than it being able to pass because they backed out. Also the war still left separate but equal and racial discrimination on the books and the last chattel slave in the US was freed during world war 2. So what the south (Pro-confederate states) and Americans who swallowed their propaganda learned was that fighting a war without seeding the ground everywhere first with their point of view and taking over things from the inside, like they did under Wilson, arguably the worst US president of the 20th century, and Trump just took that playbook and took it farther than the public was ready for but still pushed and those special interest groups that supported him had the choice to renounce him and be reviled by both major political wings of the US or back him to the hilt while he destroys the US from within, because if you can’t get everything you want at least you can make sure nobody else gets anything either.









  • The historical version of this was the ww2 airplane patch job stats, where american bombers returning after getting hit were hit in specific areas and the statistician had to explain that those who returned despite that damage meant those were not the places to reinforce but the other areas of the plane makeing it more survivable, or more recently how Santa Monica CA almost removed crosswalks because that was where the highest pedestrian mortally rates were. In both those cases the people making the assumptions missed the bigger picture, for the planes that those who got hit in more sensitive spots got downed and for pedestrians getting killed at crosswalks that was because that is where pedestrians cross the street most of the time, almost leading to more deaths.




  • I do not see AI going away I see it being the tool they originally pitched before firing everyone as an assistant for coding and the such and that only when running locally. I think it will do a decent job in finding and patching 0 day issues in Linux kernels and the such but Hollywood and the tech sector after making a really tough few years for all their former employees will be having a very tough time themselves, and if the US government has any balls they will have to worry about being broken up as monopolies and prosecuted for their criminal behavior, but that seems to be wishful thinking even if a more responsible party get all the levers of power.
