IiRC it was more so that the Church got actual fiefdoms and wanted control so that potential priestly families wouldn’t just distance themselves into secular noble houses, taking lands with them.

Fiefdoms and related duties originated from kings, so the church wanted similar parallel rights over their vassal priests.

That’s not a sedan though, that’s an SUV. The S60 is a sedan

In my experience it’s often the HR department itself that gets up to this shit

Flevoland was a national scale pseudo conscript construction project on the scale of the Great Wall. Bit more useful though.

The Dutch in the 70s oil crisis told all their freshly unemployed people to grab a shovel or they don’t get unemployment, and now their country is a tenth bigger.

That’s the least communist thing I’ve ever heard

It will try to find any unsecured WiFi

I love supporting real tech companies rather than investment scams

My uninformed speculation is that they want to drop the bags on funds you have to bail out, pension funds for example, and then we’re effectively bailing out the people who bet on AI, not AI companies themselves.

And if we don’t, they still win, it’s pensions and savings that take the hit.

That they make money on? I mean more than the costs directly associated with those customers? Doubt it

They are kinda already outdated. The GPUs in use now are from the 2022 line mostly, 90% of the 2024 line is sitting in storage, and IDK about this year’s.

They are not actually building that DC capacity they sell either.

I guess it makes coreutils vulnerable to EEE. Corps with significant stakes in Linux would be able to extend the API with proprietary functions, build ecosystems on top of that, and lock out independent development.

Imagine being unable to distribute a Linux based OS that is compatible with most of the world without proprietary age verification built in for example.

Regime changed by oil interests

The 25 year old thing has been disproven, the brain continues changing as you age

They ship with proprietary code, this would be the point of open source.

In practice in my experience, every company is at least skirting the law regarding privacy, and I never worked for one big enough that could lobby itself out of a fine.

Is it made in the US though? It seems kinda silly to ship the parts from predominantly China to the US back to Europe.

Especially since IIRC the US PC market is smaller that that of Europe.

And also, tariffs.

The point is that in Europe sticker price always includes tax, you pay the exact amount there, while reputedly in the US it does not work that way.

There might.be a little of that going around as well, but the datacenters haven’t actually been built even close to the scale claimed, and the racks in there are kinda useless at serving SaaS webpage stuff, too many GPUs to make it make sense financially.

I mean there is the CLOUD act.

I tried this thing called PINCE, it worked dead simple for memory editing. IIRC it now has the speedup too

My bank lets me set up a kid debit card, I can see and approve purchases and set limits.

Also, IMO kids should either ask their parents to buy a game for them, or be old enough to have their own bank account.

Giving your kid a credit card is how they end up with a gambling addiction because AAA is an unsanctioned casino.
