If you keep buying them Nintendo is going to keep selling them.

Wrong link. This is the right link: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/movies/donnie-darko-oral-...

> ..its literally running.. ..It's literally called.. ..its literally AlexNet.. ..literally doesn't work..

I'm not sure it's literal enough.

So much for the "buy once, watch many" model.

Now it's buy continuously through a subscription, watch for as long as the deal remains in place to provide that particular movie on that particular platform, and thrill to having your individual viewing habits tracked, catalogued, and monetized.

PlayStation sells better in Europe than it does in North America. XBox sells better in North America than it does in Europe, but has never sold as well globally as the PlayStation of its generation:

I got 3.5 MB when I losslessly encoded it to JPEG XL.

No. All advertising is tedious. Advertising is pollution.

> If these social media companies prove they're favouring the government

They favour themselves. And if to best position themselves they must suck up to the government then that's what they'll do. Every time.

> rather than their customers

Who do you think their customers are? They aren't the users. The users are the product, the cattle farmed by social media companies.

The customers are the advertisers. Advertisers don't want filthy protesters tarnishing their shiny brands.

This is a marketing stunt. This is the advertising.

> I have tried to get excited about this

Why? You don't need to be excited or amazed.

It's either useful to you or it isn't. If it's not useful to you, don't buy it.

That's great but the context menu is still slow, annoying to use, and much worse than it was in Windows 10.

What's your argument? That we should put aside rationality and basic honesty for feel good vibes, no matter the lies?

Musk lies constantly. He lies about stupid things there's no need to lie about like being better at video games than he actually is: https://futurism.com/gamers-disgusted-musk-cheats-diablo-pat...

He lied about the Cybertruck being faster than it is. It's fast anyway. There was no need to lie about it but Musk is pathological. He simply can't help himself:

Tesla never ran the quarter mile they claimed they did. It's pathetic.

> Hit piece

How would you know? You haven't watched it.

Or maybe it's just that all three of them are bad.

So when Trump threatened to annex Greenland, that was a Russian and Chinese psyop?

Maybe it's more simple. Maybe Trump is precisely the erratic, narcissistic, authoritarian dictator wannabe he appears to be.

America is responsible for its own reputation, and at the moment America appears to be intent on trashing it.

Seems plenty fast enough to me.

I have an old phone. I'm on one of the cheapest plans. I ran a speed test with https://speedtest.net and I got 124 megabits per second. That's 15 megabytes per second, 900 megabytes per minute, which is 90x more than YouTube's 1080p video rate of 10 megabytes per minute.

Ruffle is also available as a Firefox extension. Maybe install that and be happy: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ruffle_rs/

> Assuming you're not looking at the file sizes involved

The internet has very much moved on.

A three minute, 1080p YouTube music video encoded in AV1 video with Opus audio is 30 megabytes. No one bats an eyelash at downloading that.

To prove it, this one has been downloaded 2.6 billion times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekr2nIex040

To even further prove it, this one has been downloaded 17 billion times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqZsoesa55w

> I understand why Apple killed Flash, but what we got in its place is not better.

WebAssembly is better compilation target and runtime than Flash ever was. Many languages can compile to WebAssembly.

I think what you want is an authoring tool like Flash. Why not make that tool? Or if you don't want to make it, Rive's a pretty good animation engine. You can make games with it:

You didn't engage. You evaded.

Low sales makes you a low volume manufacturer.

Any answer on why Tesla is so far behind on the hardware?

So given that Tesla has pivoted to being a low volume manufacturer, why aren't they offering the same hardware capability as other players?

Porsche's got wireless charging on their cars now. Does Tesla?

> They compete directly with BYD in China and win. Model Y outsells any BYD model.

BYD's sales are split across multiple brands and models. BYD sells more EVs than Tesla. Why is Tesla being outsold by BYD?

BYD is one of the global top ten automakers by sales. Why isn't Tesla in the top ten?

Why isn't Tesla selling 20 million cars per year like they said they would?

Why has the Cybertruck been such a sales flop?

BYD and Geely cars can charge 10 to 70% in 5 minutes on 1.5+ megawatt chargers. Does Tesla offer anything like that capability?

Without copyright the little guys would constantly be screwed over by the big guys.

It really is one of those "without law you cannot have freedom" things.

We're talking about the GPL. Linux is a major project protected by the GPL.

A license in isolation isn't interesting. The practical results of projects under a license is interesting.

Linux is a very successful practical result under the GPL and copyright makes the GPL work. Without copyright the GPL would be unenforceable.

What strawman? The GPL has been one of the drivers of the success of Linux and copyright is what makes that work.

You still haven't articulated how that's restrictive.

So.. Linux is bad and we should all use BSDs?

Why has restrictive Linux succeeded far more than any BSD ever has?

> Marles said the incident in which an AI system gained unauthorized access to files on an Australian government website for reporting healthcare statistics was a “significant warning.”

That's wonderful but are there doing to be any criminal charges? An individual does that and they get charged with a crime.

Will OpenAI be charged? Or is it the case that once you're a big enough corporation there are no more consequences?

> the current system hurts us all

How? The current system enables the GPL. The GPL protects many open source projects.
