is anime a form of Piracy?! One Piece I guess?!

Same here… even when Twitter was not even in the sights of fElon I found it to be super toxic. I signed up because “it was the best way to get the news” and left in about 4 days

why are people frothing over Bluesky? this is just Twitter but owned by a different oligarch

Well if what they are doing is not hitting ANY news outlets (even informal ones or their own sites) I sincerely doubt they are doing anything worthwhile (unless it happens to be some covert operation)

The other issue is that they really have little recourse when all branches of government AND the courts were handed over to the Orange Turd on a silver platter… what are they actually going to do?

The ONLY proper recourse left here is a general strike and I see Redditors helping on that front more than Unions

Only if the lose…

if the unions decide to do something… so far they have just been docile like lambs

Americans voted for this (or didn’t bother to vote to avoid it)

hmmm this was clear as day before the election… so a more accurate headline would be “the majority of people who voted, voted for Elon… the majority of the rest couldn’t be bothered”

Putting that aside, I am holding predictions until the Feb 05 marches and I am willing to give the dormant populous of the USA a couple more weeks to go on a general strike and stop this madness… but it increasingly seems the people in the USA are now too numb, too busy, too stressed out, too ignorant to realize they are sheep being taken to the slaughter house

I love Oracle buying tik tok because they always seem to destroy everything they buy

The exact same reason, regular folks with zero chance to ever be rich in the USA, defend inheritance tax like their lives depends on them… the are ignorant and/or think they are just about to “get there” and don’t want to limits to apply to themselves

The paste does not go back in the tube…

That’s only true if you are to save the person now ailed by a preventable disease.

The GOP couldn’t care a little if a few million of the plebes die… They will get the vaccines and healthcare, it’s the peasants that will suffer

but the King overheard and thought “I have to make lentils so much more expensive then…”

What data? they one OpenAI illegally obtained first?!

agreed, we are making the same point. Very little in the world of investment seems to be based on actual value anymore

100% right

Fancy word foot work for “speculation”

Yes but that’s not the point… If you can buy a house for $1000 nobody would buy a similar house for $500000

Eventually the field would even out and maybe demand would surpass current levels, but for the time being, Nvidia’s offer seem to be a giant surplus and speculators will speculate

DeepSeek proved you didn’t need anywhere near as much hardware to train or run an even better AI model

Imagine what would happen to oil prices if a manufacturer comes out with a full ice car that can run 1000 miles per gallon… Instead of the standard American 3 miles per 1.5 gallons hehehe
