Why do you make it sound like showing up for half a day and casting a vote is some ultimate sacrifice. That is the minimum duty of a citizen.

Thank you American voters, who voted for Trump or sat out because the opposition wasn’t “good” enough.
Sincerely,

Because no self-respecting academia, money-hungry corporation, or nihilistic teenager is going to use Llama spewing out “both sides” garbage.

That being said, Chinese tech won’t be better, but they will certainly be cheaper and it will eat into US tech’s marketshare.
Also keep an eye out for RISC-V (open source) architecture. Chinese gov’t is pouring billions a year to get away from x86 and ARM.
Apple is cooked. Not only are they going to get decimated in China, but they are going to see demand destruction in the US due to tariffs. And neither Trump nor Xi cares about Apple.

So there will be no higher prices for consumers in the EU.
US consumers will get hammered with anywhere from 25% to 55% price increase in electronics.

Bluesky should have ads, not a personalized ads that track users, but just simple ones at the very top of the feed. Consumers today are too addicted to free services, and companies need to be financially independent so that they can support a quality product.
A good way to stop companies from abusing H1B is to make the visa portable with the worker for a set number of years. If the company is underpaying/overworking them, the worker on H1B can just skip town to another company without fear or deportation. This makes it not worth while for corporations to hire H1B when it costs money and time.

On Monday, the president took to the South Lawn of the White House to promote Tesla’s cars, apparently buying one despite having campaigned on an explicitly anti-electric vehicle platform.
Somehow, I don’t think MAGA cult will buy electric vehicles in quantities needed to offset even a fraction of people who used to buy Tesla.

cocolowlander@feddit.nlto Technology@lemmy.world•Europe bets on RISC-V for homegrown supercomputing platformEnglish66·4 months agoFeasible, yes. Practical, hard to say. Good idea, yes.
RISC-V is open-source architecture based in Switzerland (although it started in University of California).
One thing going for it is China is spending billions a year towards RISC-V adoption so they do not get sanctioned by the US. You need money and engineers working on it towards these type of open source to compete with existing players.
Not in Memphis, because that’s predominantly Black Americans.
Usually the Southern Republican government grants permits for these types of polluting facilities in non-White communities.
