That sounds so much more efficient than hunting for a motherboard with 8 SATA ports and dealing with all those cables.

Do the drives still show up as separate devices? Its not doing any hardware-raid? I’m just wondering if I can swap to one of these when I need to upgrade my system.

• How do you still have open SATA ports on your motherboard?
• Where are all those neatly tied SATA cables going? I think I can peek them behind and above the CPU?
• What is the card between the GPU and the SSD? Is it some RAID controller?

If you want to say transphobic slurs you’re welcome to rot your brain on Facebook or use X (the everything app).

Its not about lack of nuance but more about deliberately being a useful idiot because not everyone has the patience of someone like cowbee. Let me translate your example:

• Slavery is bad.
• Slavers say Dessalines is bad.
• Therefore Dessalines is good.

Now its 2025. Dessalines is long dead and we can safely say the free people of Haiti deserved a better leader. But back in the 1800s I’d back Dessalines to the hilt because I’m carrying absolutely zero water for slavers.

This is actually harsher on China than the wiki page for the incident.

There were several “social credit systems” that were set up in various provinces. These were mainly attempts to aggregate public records from different departments into one searchable database. It mostly affected business owners since they have the largest public record footprint. The idea was you could look up who owns what business and how many code violations those businesses had.

This triculates into the american rumor mill and comes out as the “social credit score” meme which is fantasitcal projection from our own opaque credit system.

That’s Anders Holm. From Workaholics.

Its actually been done before and most teens quitted or were fired within weeks because of the inhuman working conditions. The quality of the work they would do is completely irrelevant.

+3,000 student athletes in The A-Team. And yes it went horribly wrong. Some students started unionizing immediately.

“Then you go out in the field, and the first ray of sun comes over the horizon. The first ray. Everyone looked at each other, and said, ‘What did we do?’ The thermometer went up like in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. By 9 a.m., it was 110 degrees.”

Garden gloves that the farmers gave the students to help them harvest lasted only four hours, because the cantaloupe’s fine hairs made grabbing them feel like “picking up sandpaper.”

The farmers sheltered them in “any kind of defunct housing,” according to Carter — old Army barracks, rooms made from discarded wood, and even buildings used to intern Japanese-Americans during World War II.

Basically the plot of How to Blow Up a Pipeline.

WTF are you smoking? The ruling class is deliberately splitting us against the ruling class?

The “manifesto” isn’t a manifesto at all. Its basically just a written confession. And reads like a forced one at that. To me, the theory that they used illegal means to catch him and are just planting evidence so they have a case makes way more sense. They probably lost him and had to tap into some NSA data to ID him. He probably wasn’t a fucking moron and ditched the gun with the bag central park.

The reason for Boeing’s recent failures are actually well known: They purchased McDonnel Douglass and became defense contractors.

When they did that all of the McDonnel Douglass execs they acquired were able climb up the ranks of Boeing because they had political connections to get those DoD contracts. The story is the Boeing corporation acquired McDD but McDD execs acquired Boeing.

What happened next is Boeing started doing normal DoD contractor practices and outsource as much as possible to cut costs and open new non-union shops. The clusterfuck that is Boeing now is the outcome of that process.

Obviously you can still call this “c-suite greed” but that would be missing some important details.

There’s literally two astronauts stuck in space right now. They’ve been stuck there for months because Boeing’s shit keeps breaking.

Not billionaires though.

Its because they get pushback from swifties. Its the conflict they are seeking not advancing any political goal.

Luxury Bones

There’s vastly worse billionaires than Taylor Swift. Idk what Swifties on Lemmy you’re trying to trigger. Thompson wasn’t even billionaire but I’d say he was worse than Swift.

The M4A movement was absolutely incompetent if you compared it to health insurance Super PACs. It was basically a bunch unpaid volunteers, many with their own medical debt, against fully salaried lobby groups paid for with our premiums, our denied claims.

I think it would be the other way around: the doctors don’t stop giving you anesthesia if the surgry goes long, but now you wake up to it costing some extra thousands of dollars.
