  • This sort of comment is so weak. Yes, America has always had a fascism problem, heck we've got literal fasces on the US seal.

    But there has also been a massive flare up of fascism since Trump took office. If you look at Obama, then Trump, and you see the same picture I just can't take you seriously.

    It's possible for two things to be imperfect, and still have one be massively more awful. It's like comparing influenza to cancer and being like "America has always been sick"; yeah no shit, but what we've got cooking right now is a different beast, and it necessitates different interventions.

  • The deaths from Obama's drones were no less judicial than the deaths from Bush's troops, both were carried out within the definition of the 'war on terror', which was approved by Congress.

    Trump's strike on that Venezuelan boat was outside of the approved scope.

  • And if it's SQLite (which I believe is the default) it's really just reading and writing a file on the file system.

  • US poll finds 60 percent of Gen Z voters back Hamas over Israel in Gaza war

    Jump

  • I have absolutely encountered this online and offline, a lot of people understand the attack as being justified by the oppressive conditions the Gaza strip was kept in. Personally I think it's possible for two opposing things to both be bad/wrong.

  • I think there's a lot of people who don't like Israel or Hamas. It's complicated by the fact Hamas is more like a political party than a nation. If it was Israel vs Palestine I think more people would support Palestine.

  • Trump orders Hegseth to form National Guard unit in each state to combat crime, protests

    Jump

  • The national guard of the 1600s was organized around fighting american indians to assist with the colonization of North America.

    The modern national guard wasn't formed until the Dick Act of 1903, after which they were almost immediately used to suppress labor strikes. You can look into the Colorado Labor Wars or the Ludlow Massacre for some contemporary examples.

  • I love LibreOffice, but I wish there was an Android app. I've even considered learning more app development to try and help, but it's such a daunting task.

  • I've been writing all my college papers in LaTeX and it's been great. They look so professional, and it's easier to work on a collection of text files than one monolithic document.

  • P cores give them better single core performance. But in parallel computing AMD has the advantage and has defended it for a long time now.

  • Why would you use a large language model to examine a biopsy?

    These should be specialized models trained off structured data sets, not the unbridled chaos of an LLM. They're both called "AI", but they're wildly different technologies.

    It's like criticizing a doctor for relying on an air conditioner to keep samples cool when I fact they used a freezer, simply because the mechanism of refrigeration is similar.

  • Yes they did. It says so in the article.

  • U.S. takes 10% stake in Intel as Trump flexes more power over big business

    Jump

  • Yes, but also because they're just better chips and you probably should have only been getting them to begin with. Way more power efficient, smaller process, less heat, easier to upgrade, better multi core performance, lower price; you just get a better CPU.

  • Reading comprehension is a skill. It seems like some people just glance at the words and make up what they expect to see. I have no idea how your comment could have been interpreted the way they did without a total disregard for the substance. Maybe they were reading it through an auto translation? Still, seems like the emoji is pretty obvious.
