It's always both, the people willing to pay someone to make things worse, and the people willing to take the money to do it.

This article existing strikes me as a sign its at least in some context a fad. If someone uses a tool, in this case vintage digicams i guess, to make a piece of art and the use of the tool comes through as part of the statement it was in that context an artistic statement. If they're using it to make nothing and just bought it because they saw someone else using it and found it novel, seems like they got caught in the fad.

Stomping your feet and telling me why it's not a fad is very fad behavior.

Looks like maybe different configurations based on customer needs?

Hedging your bets some will die before they get it/all of it? Keeping your employees sustained while also not giving them enough immediate overhead for creating any kind of wealth?

I'm not serious, these are just the first cynical thoughts that came to mind, but I feel like this question should be one we can actually answer? We've had both pensions and time to see varying degrees of successes and failures regarding them.

This is not my impression of how things generally go with China.

"Another reason why the Capitol and the White House wouldn’t want to see Intel fail is because it’s one of America’s top exporters, with its export revenue in 2023 exceeding $40 billion."

The capitalist class are the fucking NY Yankees of the world - never has so little been done with so much. What a bunch of greedy idiots running shit into the ground.

Me too! It's my go-to large text file manipulator. It's also what I keep open all the time to paste things into since it's so easy to open a new tab and it keeps temp files of things i haven't saved until i've closed them and told it I don't want them saved, so it opens up with a decent history of crap I've been using until I'm ready to clear it.

I agree, Tim Sweeney sucks. It was still an interesting interview.

This seems kind of interesting to me, it's a shame it's from Meta so I'll likely never touch it because of the toxicity of their core products, but I'm glad to see this, as it seems like it could stimulate some competition.

That's heavy, as it can be true even without crime or hurting others.
