Fuck the US. Let it wallow and die. Talking more closely is just more likely to get its shit on you as it goes.

Nope. You can literally just send them the exact fields needed for processing a transaction.

Wtf are you even talking about?

1. the companies you listed are not the only companies in their markets,

2. at least one of the companies you listed is Canadian

3. how is this different from literally any other country around the world?

4. how are you listing Costco when they're literally the only store with a maximum markup %

The exact same thing that has been going on for the past ~60 years of American corporate expansionism.

They don't regulate their companies, allowing them to basically abuse their destitute class to let their corporate class amass a vast amount of capital, and then they use that capital to expand globally, buy overseas companies, create capitalists there and use them to spread their shitty exploitative and harmful practices.

The key it this process is that their companies look economically successful, because they make more money then their competitors, but in reality they're not more efficient or produce better goods (quite the opposite in fact), it's just that they're better at externalizing costs and exploiting others.

The dev of Lemmy is an asshole, full stop. He's also incredibly pro Russian and pro Chinese, but first and foremost, he's an intolerable asshole.

You'll get banned from his Lemmy instance if you dare to suggest that Russia or China issue propaganda.

And he is a large part of the reason why all the "tankie", i.e. pro-communist Lemmy instances, have cultures of such obnoxious anti-intellectualism.

That doesn't actually sound like they intend on producing usable helium though. That sounds like they intend on doing a really difficult and expensive fusion reaction to produce helium 3, which they will then use in a cheaper and easier to do fusion reaction, and the end result of all of that should be electricity and no net new helium since it's expensive and rare AF and they need it all to make the whole process remotely plausibly profitable.

If you just want to build a basic web page or roughly static document / form, then I can see why it would feel like overkill.

But if you're building a full featured application then modern web development is kind of glorious.

Can I remind everyone that it is impossible to produce helium in a practical way?

It is literally only produced through a fusion reaction, and that happens in stars and in incredibly tiny quantities in fusion reactors.

Whenever it's released, it basically just floats away into space and is lost forever.

Lmao, the guy defending using Instagram is calling others a bootlicker?

Please social media companies, fuck everyone harder, we can't possibly have a TV maker have the ability to lock it down with parental controls, society would collapse if that were to happen!

Oh wait, literally every single TV sold in the past 25 years has had that.

And what hardware do they run Linux on? And what phone do they use? And what TV device?

And if they're not a mac fan boy, then they're insistence of looking at Apple as the only possible sign of industry trends is mind boggingly narrow.

Lmao, and how many children do you have, oh wise one?

I mean, with that logic, why do we ban cigarettes from kids too? Why not just let cigarette companies advertise and sell cigarettes to kids, and just "hold parents accountable for the actions of their children"?

Do I really miss it? It never once came up in any practical situation.

You would buy a mobo and a CPU and put them together and not think about the specific buses or controllers you have available, unless you had a very specific reason to.

Unless we're talking about a mobile power constrained device, I certainly would rather have expandable RAM and graphics cards then everything slammed in a single unchanging chip.

And again, the fact that the author states that Nvidia can't release an integrated SoC because they didn't buy ARM, when they actively sell an integrated SoC licensed from ARM, makes the entire rest of their "opinion", untrustworthy.

You can choose not to use Facebook, but you cant choose to not use an operating system.

So? If you're not using Facebook then it's not an issue. If you don't add your age to your OS it's not an issue.

In an ideal implementation you just have the option of setting up a restricted device with their age, and if that's set, then the OS passes it to the browser and it passes it to the site, and if it's a restricted account and it's under age then the site and/or browser doesn't load anything.
