I’ve seen the “one person selling lots of stocks in an otherwise healthy company to raise cash tanks the market” claim repeated so many places as one of these “everyone knows this, it’s obvious” facts, and yet it never seems to play out that way to any meaningful degree. It’s one of the many Big Lies of capitalism that we’ve just been tricked into accepting.

You might occasionally see a minor one day dip of a few percent at worst, and even then they’re usually caused by some underlying issue unrelated to one person’s need for liquidity.

This isn’t a news story, it’s an advertorial.

that isn’t what Kaworu was thinking lol

Yay let’s make all cars the same colour as the road

Umm

If top-left were also running their own sweatshop factory, then it would be hypocrisy.

People like your “Gotcha guy” are never sincere; you won’t see someone behave like that who actually does go to extremes to avoid all third-degree connections with anything unethical. It’s always someone just disingenuously being a dick trying to “pwn the libs”.

You’d be making a great point if Google, Samsung et al weren’t also behaving atrociously.

if the birthrate hit 0% we would be facing societal collapse

Bit strawmanny that. Nobody considers 0% a reasonable target.

oh look, another votescold so thoroughly convinced that everything would have been fine if only everyone followed their campaign strategy, that they’re literally blaming anti-fascists for fascism. How about blaming actual fascists instead?

Fucking hell.

Is it safe to start calling Trump a fascist yet? It seems like forcing people to name publicly owned buildings after yourself is pretty textbook what fascist leaders love to do.

Be careful not to fall into the “I hate Elvis” trap. He’s getting more attention and money as a result of people wanting to see him beat up as he is from his actual supporters.

You don’t even need to bring income into it. Inflation is the whole point of the “things were cheaper in the old days” trope, if you adjust for inflation then all you’re saying is we’ve seen zero progress. Even on its own terms it’s still not a brag.

I don’t actually regret that it worked.

Are you sure though? What actual good did it do in the end; did it result in you doing anything of value or changing your mind on some topic? Or did it just make you a bit angry for a while before going about the rest of your day? (I’m not having a go at you by the way, it’s the bait I’m irritated at)

It was marketed for PS2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_for_PlayStation_2

The PS3 could run Linux initially, but Sony remotely disabled it on account of being a shower of cunts, resulting in a bunch of lawsuits (which even more cuntingly they paid out on, sooner than re-enable Linux).

That said I think you may be talking slightly at cross purposes; the ability to run Linux isn’t tied to processor architecture, and doesn’t mean anything in terms of what the PS3 was like to develop for as a professional game studio.

In certain Austroasiatic languages, your wrists and ankles are your hand-necks and foot-necks.

Shit like this is so common that the instant I read the headline I thought, ok, so what really happened?

The infuriating thing is that by its own metric it worked; I got successfully baited into reading the article. Fuck these shitty news editors to infinity.

also you had to configure all your disks using jumper pins, and your RAM had to be in matched pairs

It’s sickening how little Amazon seem to give a fuck about this. They could easily tighten up their vetting of sellers, but heaven fucking forbid they only report a $50,000,000,000 profit this year instead of $50,003,000,000.

Why not start with disabling it by default and see how many people switch it on?
