He can obviously do whatever the fuck he wants. This unfortunately isn’t even a reasonable question to be asking at this point.

I feel like the capital has taken the internet away from us. Everyone is locked up in shit holes now and the free internet feels like some post-apocalyspe wasteland (Lemmy is cool but damn there are like 20 people here fr).

The US is at least 40 years removed from any kind of real electronics manufacturing at scale.

This kind of thing takes generational knowledge to get right and we outsourced that knowledge a long time ago.

We are now several generations from being able to manufacture electronics on the level.

Either trump has no idea how anything works or he’s actively trying to destroy the American economy.

It can be a political decision tbh.

Companies will never be able to stop this,

If they have their way they will. All the tech bros are pushing for trusted computing platforms.

Imagine a world where most/all computers are as locked down as an iPad. That’s what they seem to want.

The hoody part adds validity to this story IMO

How did you get into playing?

If you mean the Monty Hall paradox, this is how I’ve recently been able to understand it.

You start with a 1/3rd chance of being right. That’s a 2/3rds chance you are wrong. Your first pick is likely wrong.

The host now must open a losing door. Since you likely already picked a losing door, the host likely only has one option for which door to reveal.

So since chances are best that you first picked a wrong door, then the host picked the other wrong door. Which means the one that hasn’t been picked by anyone yet is likely the winning door.

Edit: Monte Carlo paradox is a thing. My bad.

The gambler’s fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy, occurs when an individual erroneously believes that a certain random event is less likely or more likely to happen based on the outcome of a previous event or series of events.

For this one I like the example: “The surgery fails 9/10 times. The last 9 patients have died. Does that mean you in the clear?”

Just because there are nearly unlimited resources out there, doesn’t mean we won’t keep abusing the ones down here.

Ehh it kinda does considering you can get a pretty full compiler tool chain running via termux.

It’s a political thing. Signals that you are a nationalist chud.

To a lot of people “serious bills” means credit card debt for shit they didn’t need.

Nice

Ironic because it’s not unusual for cops to not wear seatbelts but they are more likely to die in a single vehicle accident than a gun fight.

Yeah I’m also not a fan of discord but tbh nothing super interesting happens on the discord. Most important discussion is on GitHub. I know that’s also not open source but it’s at least publicly accessible and indexable.

I’d love to see a tic80 community gain some traction on Lemmy.

It’s not but tic80 is honestly a bit cooler anyways.

The bullet proof vests really get me. They are so heavy and unlikely to be nessesary but some cops wear them ever day just to LARP.

Some were, some weren’t just trying to explain the sentiment.

Better people have wanted worse things to happen to the ruling class.
