Depends on what the deployment is, if it is just airstrikes or even limited ground operations to break a few things and leave, no reason for it to be a forever war.
Note: I have made zero statements about that being something I would support.

I’m a big fan of the Keep It Simple (KISS) approach, and went with Password Safe. Works on Linux, Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android. It’s big thing is it just makes an encrypted password file which then you can sync between devices however you like (Box, Dropbox, etc)
Which one works on all browsers including mobile safari and mobile Firefox?
It has an auto-type and copy feature, so no need for browser support. Though, the main criticism of this offering is if you want a ton of features and don’t care about KISS.


Protip for the room: Use a password manager with a unique password for every service. Then when one leaks, it only affects that singular service, not large swaths of your digital life.


The good news is. Even if you don’t change your strategy, you can just chill on index funds. When the bubble pops, they will go down, just keep buying more. In the long term, you will still make money. US index funds earn ~8% per year on average when invested for long periods of time.


I never got into options investing, but I believe you keep re-upping them. Every time you do so you pay a small price. So, the game is: ‘can you stay liquid long enough for the bubble to pop’.


Capital gains are taxed. Profits from this are capital gains.


Mid-Cap index funds should be fairly insulated from the damage as well, given they would exclude companies as large as nVidia.
Either way, biggest thing people is when the bubble pops, that is the time to buy in more, not the time to sell. The buy high-sell low strategy is easy to fall into emotionally.


This is pretty much my response any time Google or Microsoft does anything negative at this point. My good will for those two was spent years ago. Swapped over to Protonmail, non-google phone, Linux. Done with their shit.
EA was easier to get away from. Just…not buying more EA games solved that one. :)


By harnessing low-cost, nonstop solar energy and avoiding land use and fossil fuels
“low-cost” - Nothing about launching data centers into space is low cost
“nonstop solar energy” Continuous solar energy is certainly nice, but that is a pretty minor buff compared to current ways of making power. If you think nuclear or solar+battery is expensive, go calculate the price for space-based solar per GW…
“avoiding land use” - We have a fuckload of land outside of cities, build them outside of cities… Datacenter land use is removing a cup of water from the ocean.
“avoiding…fossil fuels” - You can achieve that on earth, nuclear or solar+battery…
In summary, this is probably the dumbest way to build data centers. It’s stated goals are better accomplished on land with nuclear or solar+battery. It really just feels like venture capital money trap.


The United States has tethered 16% of its entire economic output to the fortunes of a single company
Yeah, this article should compare nVidia’s revenue to the US GDP (both measure of annual production). But we know why they aren’t, as it wouldn’t produce an alarming stat.
The United States has tethered 16% of its entire economic output to the fortunes of a single company
And to be clear, this stat is simply factually wrong. nVidia IS NOT 16% of US output. They sold $165B last year, US GDP is $29.2T. This means the US has tethered… 0.5% of their economic output to one company. Not 16%, zero-point-five-percent.


Signal? No.
I’m running Signal right now on Linux Mint.


Can you run Battlefield 6?
This isn’t even a Windows or Linux thing: Why the hell do you want Saudi Arabia and Jared Kusher* to have kernel-level access to your machine? Why, why is that worth it for just a game?
*I really wish I was joking with this part


Remember when the sales pitch of The Cloud was it would always be online?


This is just more government bullshit
Just like the California cancer label that is on everything, if you put this label on common shit like bacon, then yes, “it’s just more government bullshit” is exactly how the vast majority of people will treat it.


You know, I can’t remember any toothpaste with that warning. So, win one for us I guess! ;p


If the labels don’t have some type of ranking system, then they are pointless. A great example being the California cancer labels that are on fucking everything. It’s impossible to use them to gauge risk, because everything you buy causes cancer in California.


A bunch of the stuff I buy has CA cancer warnings on it. When you start putting the warnings on common things, it makes the warnings meaningless…
Do any of the things I buy have a notable chance to cause caner? I have no fucking clue, because everything causes cancer in California.


Especially if these pears are shipped by sea. Then it’s even worse.
Shipping via sea is the cheapest and least greenhouse gas producing way to ship things. With the only exception being pipes, which are significantly better than ships on both fronts. However, we shouldn’t be shipping peaches via pipe. ;p


Great news!
I believe the FairPhone is pretty solid.
Not as good, but Apple stuff is a big step up from Google and Samsung stuff wrt spying.
