They’ve always been the weird ones

Well I’m probably wrong then, framework said they couldn’t get good performance and maintain signal integrity with upgradable memory for the Ryzen Max cpus

On the other hand, Framework is run by far right sympathizers and are a few billion short of what Valve’s R&D might have access too.

Not sure I trust WD after the whole lying label NAS thing, the wiped drive accident, and more.

Unless you use Proton’s fully encrypted communications, in which case still no because they literally can’t get the information. The issue with the french activist years ago was also in part because they didn’t use the full encryption feature.

That said, I wonder why this story from years ago is resurfacing again? Is Google or Microsoft planning on releasing another unpopular feature?

Oh I moved long ago, and have been living in Finland.

When I spoke of the USA, it was before the internet was prevalent. Facebook was barely new as a concept once I was in university.

I imagine now though it’s easier than ever to keep cultural ties / influence with the home country of parents or grandparents, with the internet being ubiquitous. Back then, you basically were tied to radio and if lucky tv. If my Hmong partner’s parents can easily access content and news from Laos in the USA I’m certain it’s even easier for people originally from India to do so.

Those are all good points.

I will say you don’t have to be a migrant to be affected by a different country’s culture, because your family will still be culturally affected and will likely even practice traditions or celebrate old holidays and customs. I say that from experience - I only speak Spanish with my parents, and grew up watching mostly only Spanish news and programs, even though I was born in the USA.

What I mean by my current is that it seems to be a recent phenomenon of seeing both a rise in the far right but also that out of all minorities in power, it’s people of indian descent that usually have those top positions in English speaking western countries and are or support the far right.

However, considering India itself is culturally far right, my guess is that’s the reason as to why. But I suppose by sheer numbers, as you pointed out, would be the reason they predominantly occupy that role, along with the predominant cultural values of India as an average whole.

Still, you’d think you see more of other minorities too, like Chinese, considering that population is globally high too. So it makes me wonder why India specifically? There must be more dynamics at play than just sheer numbers.

I should clarify - framework releasing a desktop was a sign of enshittification of the company in general, not being far right. Desktops are already highly customizable.

As for the other thing, it’s just a strange pattern that seems to have been emerging. The CEO of Google, CEO of Microsoft, and now Framework.

As for politicians, there’s the UK and India itself as examples.

Why does it seem recently every Indian descent CEO/English speaking politician is extremely far right? That pattern plus Framework’s actions already makes it seem like they’re also far right.

Though releasing a desktop was the first warning sign in their case I suppose.

And somehow also more impressive than one Zeus per minute

Nahhh, but if you are worried about that stuff, you should look into NordVPN and use the Opera web browser. I think you can even play Raid: Shadow Legends on it.

There’s some models that work with Matter and a local home server. There’s also a couple you can flash with open source software to keep it all local.

Ah, now computers can be infected with fungi along with worms and viruses.

If I may make a suggestion…

The average for a person sending / receiving a message is about 35 / day. That’s 70kb / person.

Signal has aprx. 100 million users.

Which means this adds about 7 terabytes daily.

Just doing the math on it, there’s no point to this message 😁

Time chaos in EU.

Imagine organizing military responses or shipping logistics when you can go under an hour then forward and then under an hour again just crossing 3 countries.

I think it’s more questionable that it uses AWS

To be fair I was referring to the 80s 👴

Yeah, job applications haven’t changed that much.

It was still a dismissive black box, it’s just that the process was more manual. Instead of AI tools throwing your application away, someone skimmed it looking for a particular bullet point, if they don’t find it in 10 seconds your resume is tossed in the bin. Whether it was AI or a manager, either way you’re probably not getting a call back to let you know they tossed your application.

The manual review though does improve your odds than an algorithm looking for keywords.

Not to mention sometimes you got feedback of what your odds were of getting hired. If you gave someone your physical resumé, and they just laid it down in a random spot and we’re dismissive, you at least knew immediately that you should probably not expect a call back.
