I got food poisoning from the fish they served in the students cafeteria. Can’t stand fish or seafood anymore, and if the fish van is set up on the local supermarkets parking lot once a week, I go around it as far away as possible.

With RAM access being the one big bottleneck of a modern PC, can anyone in the know tell me about those SoCs? How much RAM did they have, and was it faster than external DIMMs?

I had a friend at university who got a job fixing cobol stuff before Y2K. The bank paid him extremely well, housed him in a luxury apartment during the job, and, as he had no driving licence, dropped in a car with free driver for him.

Sorry, I forgot that the US is decades behind the rest of the world in privacy laws.

Well, maybe you could start with this aspect.

Ah, so you are just an asshole, not an idiot. OK, I get it.

I’ll still do my things, do whatever you think helps best, like pissing off people with the same goals.

You already need consent to take a persons picture. Did it help in this case? I don’t think so.

Isn’t it already? Has it provided any sort of protection? Many things in this world are illegal, and nobody cares.

The problem is how to actually prevent this. What could one do? Make AI systems illegal? Make graphics tools illegal? Make the Internet illegal? Make computers illegal?

What the heck is your problem? Are you unable to do something by yourself? Can’t you be bothered to think on your own? EOD.

What does surprise me more? That he circumvents court orders to move around money, or that he actually pays (significant) taxes for a change?

You can stop insisting that this is my personal problem for a start.

What you do is inherently your personal problem.

Are you fine with the rise of fascism?

I am definitely not fine with that.

What are you doing against it and how do you believe is it going to work when it hasn’t all those past years?

What I can do, I do, and what makes you believe it has no impact? You don’t know what I do, and, for a number of reasons, I’m not going to make public what I do.

I don’t “subbornly refuse to engage with” it. I cannot help you to find your personal path to your goals.

Maybe Andy Stone should avoid high buildings and invitations for a coffee from strangers in the foreseeable future.

Sorry, but I cannot help you decide what you want. Maybe it is time to think about that first.

What are your personal goals in life? How could you achieve them, what would be the path or paths to your goal?

Then you might find some political group that matches those paths or even goals. But finding clarity is something you need first and foremost. Anything else is “just” a consequence.

Oh yea? I don’t see the US deal with their blatant fashism problem. One of the biggest American fashism problems actually wants to get back into the White House.

I don’t have one either

Well, then stop blaming politicians.

How about finding the political party you find best, and join?

Well, the best way to fix political issues that concern you is getting active in politics.

I see the problem with it, but it also means they have not won (yet), and you can work towards the next election to fix it.

Calm down. While he got the biggest share, it is “just” 35 seats in a 150 seats parliament. He would need another 41 seats in coalition to get anywhere, which means (as his share is the largest) he would not only need one, but at least two partners willing to form a coalition with and a government under him.

While those 35 seats are still 35 seats too many, I doubt he will run the country.
