Brand recognition. Which apparently is the only thing that matters these days.

Until Nintendo says they can’t.

As long as Google doesn’t sell Chrome to OpenAI.

China’s ability to mix and match the worst of communism and capitalism in a single dystopian package never ceases to amaze me.

Putin is in the year 3 of a 3 day invasion, and became a vassal of China in the process.

Trump singlehandedly destroyed American hegemony, removing the tool he would need the most to deliver what the donor class wanted and he keeps losing games of chicken with basically the entire world. And I’m pretty sure Biden would’ve done lots of things differently if he could travel back in time even a few hours.

If they have time machines they are the most incompetent people on the planet.

Does our world sound like a world where any President of the US and/or Russia had access to time travel?

When you stop caring if something is a childish thing or not. Some people never get there.

“US President has an uneventful Thursday and doesn’t crash the world economy”.

I pity The Onion’s writers.

The closest, at least outside of China, would be Dailymotion.

From any European fashion brand? Though most of them are made in South East Asia and not in Europe.

LPT if you are getting “coffee” every day at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts, a cheap home expresso machine will pay itself in a month. As a bonus you have the option of using actual coffee.

With all the horror stories I heard about issues with leaking pipes or faulty electrical circuits requiring ceilings and walls to be torn down, the real question is why we don’t do all the ceilings and walls like that.

Ah yes, the F-35 Glorified-Paperweight with the Trumptastic veto on maintenance and critical supplies. Amazing choice for a military operation not approved by the Orangutan-in-chief of the USA.

Trying one size fits all is a mistake. There are plenty of European Linux distros and some public institutions have their own bespoke distros too.

Klarna is probably going to implode due to mismanagement. Their CEO thinks he can replace software engineers with AI, got a rid of way too many of them and the ones that are left are overworked just trying to keep the lights on.

You can consent to a federation interface without consenting to having a bot crawl all your endpoints.

Just because something is available on the internet it doesn’t mean all uses are legitimate - this is effectively the same problem as AI training with stolen content.

It’s not about the impact it’s about consent.

Do you think Flohmarkt is worse than Volkswagen?

That’s not an issue for brands. German and Chinese brands are just doing fine everywhere with the possible exception of the two countries in the world where people are not exposed to other languages.
