It’s not poor investors losing their savings

It’s both. Trump has actively encouraged buy-in and credibly been accused of having first let key investors in on the ground floor, so the value skyrockets when it’s announced, the insiders sell at substantial profit, and the MAGA marks see the bottom fall out of their “investment” shortly afterwards.

I’m not sympathetic with the victims, but it’s still predatory.

Thanks! I did wonder whether it might be a noun that was a cognate of “cord” (as in rope, cable, string), but I don’t speak a word of Portuguese.

This is an established phenomenon in linguistics, called betacism! There are several languages that have gone from V to B or vice versa over time.

Pretty much all V sounds in modern “native” English words would have been B sounds in its Germanic predecessors.

According to the YouTube captions, the person in the first clip says, “Gente! Gente, acorda a corda, velho!”, which is, “Guys! Guys, wake up the rope, man!”

The person in the second clip says, “Ai, meu Deus do ćeu!”, which is apparently just, “Oh my God” – going by tone, I wouldn’t say the second person had noticed the issue, but it sounded like the first one did and was in disbelief.

Swapping US technological control for Russian technological control? I don’t know to what extent the current solution is dependent, but it would be extremely naïve to just use OnlyOffice as-is.

That’s not the only factor in the die-out of the Neanderthals. Another is thought to be a massive reduction of the population and geographical constriction during the ice age, isolated communities afterwards resulting in little genetic variation, and thereby high susceptibility to disease.

Yup, it’s meant to describe the gradual process of changes to a thing, like a service or product, that are hostile to the user as a means to make extra profit – paywalling formerly free features (or just removing them) is the classic pattern. Changing branding text is not.

Ironic that we’re witnessing the enshittification of the word “enshittification”.

Your eyes cannot see it, but you actually glow.

Uh-oh – don’t they know that venerating statues will make them both evil and gay? 1 Romans:

²¹For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. ²²Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools ²³and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

²⁴Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. ²⁵They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

²⁶Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. ²⁷In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

²⁸Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. ²⁹They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, ³⁰slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; ³¹they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.

I had to stop myself from downvoting you from sheer outrage, so you’ve got the right community!

I’m so much happier in sunny weather. I’m jealous that you enjoy it being overcast.

Context of backplate tab:

“Why do they wear clothes with writing on them?”

I once worked supporting a guy who’d built a business intelligence system in an old dBase system that was restricted to 8.3 filenames.

The result of the filename length limitation is that almost every output file was suffixed with “anal” as a shorthand for “analysis”.

If he realized, he never let on.

That’s not the Lemmy approach:

looks like AI? no? comment “AI slop” on it anyway, just to cover your bases

I hate the idea of arguing in Musk’s favor, but Starlink use by Russians has generally been achieved by them obtaining foreign terminals.

Ha, a dichotomy is XOR by definition.

I helped moderate a couple of mid-sized communities and users had to actively accept moderation appointment, but maybe that was only true after a certain date?

Sounds like a cool book title or band name.

But not both!
