Oh we have men of character forming militias alright.

The character is just a lobotomized and racist Elmer Fudd.

That sounds pretty difficult to do in the modern world.

In contrast, I like the idea that before he croaks he could know that his name will be cursed and his grave pissed upon for generations.

I think that’s still a valid argument since perfection will probably never happen.

For me it’s more like, remember when the expectation was that Tesla would ever produce a version that didn’t suck ass?

Yeah, LLMs are interesting tech products to play with and find some niche uses for.

But for the love of god they are not “prop up the entire stock market and numerous multi-trillion-dollar companies indefinitely” good!

This is one reason I’m so glad we devs can install linux at work. I have LibreOffice installed sure, but if I need to use the Microsoft Office suite for some reason, it all works great as webpages in librewolf!

I think you guys can both be correct here. Just because shitty people are all over the Earth, that does not negate the problems people point out with the US.

I did not see them say or even imply that the US is the only place with sexist conservatives, or that we are the worst in the world about it. It was answering a question about the US too.

I think we all know that there are places in the world that have been far worse for far longer in just about any bad way you can think of. But it’s still pretty noteworthy when the world’s superpower that once saw itself as a diverse melting pot and land of opportunity and democracy goes and elects somebody who literally said on TV that they would be a dictator. And this after that same person already did a horrible bad faith job for all the world to see.

Most supporters voted for him thrice. Just another old white dude got in the way that one time.

That complexity sure sounds like corruption!

But realistically, corruption does add to the complexity, lol.

They can do that because Firefox is open source. If Mozilla disappeared and funding was sent to one of the forks instead, they could hire more developers and maintain it directly. Maybe even hire some of Mozilla’s best engineers.
