Comment You get what you pay for (Score 1) 333

They helped fund the guy who is FAMOUSLY disloyal to even his most devoted followers, and they got their faces ate. Luckily, there's a way out for Apple, which is to invest a billion dollars into Trump's meme-coin. That will buy them at least two or three months of tariff relief.

What the fuck is happening, though, seriously? How is it that even mega-corporations are super-fine with losing billions in service to this grifter, as long as they get nothing in return?

Comment Google still has a search engine? (Score 1) 29

I searched for something random on Google a few months ago and got ZERO results. Literally nothing. It wasn't even trying to do a keyword search, it just decided there was nothing to sell me so there was no point in returning a result. That was basically the last day I used Google as a search engine.

Comment COBOL is not hard to learn (Score 2) 76

What the fuck, just hire a good software engineer and they'll learn COBOL fine, exactly how they learned every other language they know, and then they'll maintain the code for you. It's so weird how people treat is like ancient magic as if people can't just learn it. The ACTUAL problem is multi-billion dollar corporations don't want to spend a single dime on a dedicated COBOL maintainer's salary because that would be less money for stock buybacks.

Comment This is inevitable (Score 1) 177

Instead of fighting against it we should be welcoming it by rapidly restructuring our society to be ready for an abundance economy. When we have real robot butlers/slaves that do everything a human can do, but better and cheaper, the concept of manual labor has ended. We need to start preparing for that today, not after the bread riots start.

Comment The weirdest part is... (Score 1) 112

They could simply just lie. They could say, "oh, those drones? Those are doing super boring weather surveys, nothing much more to say." Even a bad lie would satisfy 90% of the population, and the remaining 10% you can call crackpots. To say NOTHING is way, way more suspicious and makes even the people who usually accept a lie and go back to bed wake up and wonder what's happening. It's almost as if they WANT people to be worked up about it.
