It's the 24h news cycle. Most news sources are battling for your attention/clicks every day and if they keep digging into a story that people already know, they'll get less clicks. It has to be new or it just gets scrolled past. This isn't unique to america. It's everywhere. Even here on lemmy.

Steve Bannon has recognized this and weaponized it for Trump with his 'flood the zone' approach. Keep blasting new headlines and nothing will really stick.

His comparison to snake on his Nokia is actually good because in its current state AI is like a little gimmick for many users. Sure there are use cases but it can't reliably perform any truly critical tasks because it makes terrible mistakes.

Imagine Nokia shoving snake in customers faces as it is being done with AI. Every phone marketed as OPTIMIZED FOR SNAKE. A big snake button on the phone as a shortcut to open it. Snake integrated everywhere. Trying to send a text? Would you like to play a round of snake first?

That's what AI currently feels like.

Sorry for calling again but could you please paint "DEATH TO AMERICA" on the jets? We got those new hangars and don't want to make them all smelly right away.

I don't see many users upgrading the memory on a laptop like this either but would criticize soldered RAM based on the aspect of repairability. T14s are often used in business which means hundreds of machines handled by IT departments. Boards will die and technicians will throw them out including the RAM. Now granted most companies don't bother with hardware repairs anyway but somewhere down the chain someone will have these machines on their workbench and the easier it is to fix them up the better.

You got the perfect time. My rhythm is to get up, go to work, come home and nap for 20-45min so I can then tackle the rest of the day. It's like a soft reset.

As I finish preparing their food and cleaning their litterbox I see one of our two cats puke in our hallway. Alright, gotta clean that. I get my supplies and on my way I step into the real puke puddle. The other one was just a decoy.

I'm allergic to cats.

Wouldn't know what else people are supposed to play while banging their cousin in their pick-up truck.

It's a baby step thing. They want to develop for Linux but so far it's about 3% of steam users that use it. So when a studio does its testing/optimizing they focus on the platform their player base is using most.

Obviously there's a negative feedback loop here. Players avoid Linux because of issues which causes devs to neglect it because of player numbers which causes issues in the game...

Steam is pushing Linux currently but it's hard to overcome the dominant position windows and consoles have. We'll get there though.

Yeah they do though. His bet before the 2008 crash was similar. It's where the market is pointing. Publicly available data suggests there's a big ass bubble. The timing is essentially a bet. Last time it almost wiped him out because he was a bit early. We'll see how it goes this time.

There's many cities like this. I remember reading about Mexico City being on a similar path. Ground water keeps sinking rapidly so they keep digging until some day they won't be able to and it's all fucked.
