I’m glad he has kept 1 promise. Maybe Ross was made an example of, by flouting laws and technical ability. Like some sort of “I’m smarter than you” kinda way. Or maybe he’s the guy that made a mistake that lead to him being caught, and was made an example of as if “yeh, we can catch you”.

But trump is VERY against drugs when it suits him:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/declaring-a-national-emergency-at-the-southern-border-of-the-united-states/ - lots of scary illicit narcotics.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/designating-cartels-and-other-organizations-as-foreign-terrorist-organizations-and-specially-designated-global-terrorists/ - foreign drugs are terrorists.

I guess all of this supports illegal (domestic) drugs, as long as the don’t come from brown people, from the southern border or from illegal immigrants.
I guess that’s bringing manufacturing back to the US? Hurray rust belt!

I guess if you are white: make & sling those drugs!
You have at least 4 years to make a fucking fortune, as long as you don’t import from non-whites!
Fuck yeh! Freedom (for whites)!

Kamala would’ve nuked it.
You know, hormones and the predisposition to genocide, or whatever.
Great work everyone.
As a bonus, we get to:

• increase drug prices (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/initial-rescissions-of-harmful-executive-orders-and-actions/
  The original EO is here, and was really difficult to Google:
  https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/10/19/2022-22834/lowering-prescription-drug-costs-for-americans).
• Declare everyone as biologically female (because at inception, all embryos are female. It’s only after 6-7 weeks that the y chromosome kicks in an makes it biologically male. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK222286/, https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/ - note the “at conception” points)).
• Cancel climate change (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/declaring-a-national-energy-emergency/).
  Hurray.
  Everyone do a nazi elon salute

Edit: bullet points

In a single player game, yeh.
Cheating in a game that impacts other people is trash

No, mainstream media is part of capitalism.
Specifically shitty mainstream media (I’m sure there are some mainstream media providers that aren’t shitty).

This is a shitty product.
This is a shitty product that is part of capitalism.
This is a shitty product that is part of capitalism which happens to show mainstream media.

But this isn’t mainstream media.

Mainstream media would want in on the ad revenue. Mainstream media would facilitate & encourage this.

This is just a shitty product from a shitty company capitalising on shitty practices.

Edit:
I guess “part of the same bullshit” is correct.
But it’s placing the blame on the wrong thing

This isn’t mainstream media.
This is capitalism.

This is a company making a product, selling it for a given price, then making additional money from embedded ads.
Whether that ad revenue is additional profit, or to offset the actual cost of the item - because the sold it at a loss to beat their competitors - doesn’t really matter.
This is the consumer paying for something, and not getting a full and complete product

I don’t know that he has helped build anything. He has helped hype 2 companies.
He did great PR when someone was managing him, but recently his PR is poison.
SpaceX is managed by someone competent, musk has - quite frankly - little to do with the company.
Tesla is riding the hype from before musk took off the mask. I give them 4 years, tops. If it’s not already on the way down.

Intel needs to be run and managed by engineers. That’s what we want from core components. Not hype, not bubbles, not marketing speak, not fancy names and confusing part numbers. We want actual engineers who have thought through the implications of their decisions all the way to the end consumer. We want hardware that works and is predictable.

Likely less informed as well.
Why the hell would homeless people in another country give a shit about another countries politicians which has had 0 impact on their lives

XML is extremely verbose.
Again, requires some other tooling to generate (I feel I can point to JavaScript for an example of XML manipulation)

I feel I spend more time iterating yaml.
There isn’t any tooling that actually helps you write it.

I feel like there is a gap in the market for a solution that uses typescript, typed python or some other type-able scripting language, which then generates the yaml files.
A language that has language servers, intellisense, all the modern dev tools. Schemas are provided as simple type descriptors. And whatever script you write then produces the correct result.
Some sort of framework on top of that to provide an opinionated workflow, and some tooling to lint/validate/produce.
And the result is yaml files which can be checked/diffed against in-place config, and version controlled for consistency.

I guess it’s like HTML if it tried to also adopt it’s own scripting language. Whereas JS interacts with the HTML DOM. Sure, it has quirks, but essentially modified a config.

I’ve never found a nice way writing YAML with variables and configurability.
Trying to use yaml to natively describe how a yaml config should be produced is broken. It diverges from the underlying schema, and (because it’s .yaml) isn’t distinguishable from any other yaml.
Things like helm treat yaml as a template. And I don’t think language servers & tooling are up to scratch yet (happy to be corrected). So basic yaml formatters shit the bed.

Yaml is a computer readable config file that tries to be human readable, and fails at being actually useful.

Why projects try and make it useful, I will never understand.

I honestly think generating yaml from something like python would be a million times easier.
But then tools like ansible adopt yaml to essentially be a scripting language. As opposed to creating an actually decent solution that uses both python (to generate) and yaml (to apply).
Or whatever language.

uses yaml for scripting so it’s clean and readable.

Eh…

I guess yaml is fine.
I hate the significance of whitespace, and the fact that I cannot find any editor that can auto-format. Which are both related, I guess: there is no way to know a yaml document is actually correctly formatted without knowing the intended schema.

Whereas JSON doesn’t have this ambiguity. But JSON has it’s own drawbacks.

I don’t think you could of handled the correction any better

AI is hype.
They’ve recently signed a deal with Reddit for AI parsable data. Reddit reciprocated by allowing Google to be the only indexable search engine.
Google now thinks it can do the same to literally everyone else.
Googling is pretty damn mainstream.
Don’t give Google your data, then don’t be included in googles search results. It’s like a flip of their previous trade with reddit, except it’s not a trade. It’s extortion.

Reddit never gave Google traffic. They gave them content and data.
And Google thinks it can withdraw traffic from other sites unless they get data in return.
Google is a monopoly.
Literally extortion
