The german book and movie “Er ist wieder da” (He’s back) is exactly about that. Just before his death, Hitler is transported through space and time to 2010s Berlin and quickly takes the country by storm again. The kicker: A lot of the scenes are just with real people interacting with the Hitler actor in full costume and the things they say and do is unbelievable. It really shows there’s a Hitler in every single one of us and if he really returned, it would likely play out exactly like that. I cannot recommend it enough.

Yeah pretty much, though the last few elections have been in eastern states or EU related where they always score way above average. I have at least a little hope that coming elections won’t be as bad.

And nobody was surprised. I predict most advertisers will return by the end of January for the same reasons they left previously: It’s the right business decision at the right time. Remember that the next time a corporation makes a pledge. It’s always about money.

The FTC does have a pretty solid track record under their current lead, it’s just that it will likely be demolished under Trump.

It should be added this was discovered to the surprise of absolutely no one.

What does a datacenter need a huge glass front for? Slashing carbon emissions? Yeah right.

Good, I hope they raise pricing too and pay creators even less. Make it hurt. It’s the only language users understand apparently.

Please don’t take this the wrong way but as a fellow german it is extremely disturbing how our education system couldn’t make you understand how the Nazis rose to power. It’s the core theme of history class or at least it’s supposed to be in all of Germany. I have spent countless lessons learning about all the steps how an extremist minority could take the country by storm with relatively low resistance. While other countries learn about special operations and battles in WW2, we germans learn all about how Hitler could come to power and what we can do to prevent it from happening again. The fact that this little text could make you understand something you should’ve learned in your childhood shows me why it’s gone downhill so much recently. Most germans really do not understand how fascism works, do they?

Both can be true at the same time if you just use human labor behind a screen to assist the lackluster hard- and software. They tried that with their self-checkout supermarkets while claiming they were fully automated.

It only ever works for a decade or two before it obliterates the economy every single time.

You know what? Don’t worry too much about it. Reality will catch up eventually.

Yeah that’s exactly what I mean. It’s the best example that state capitalism is extremely destructive and cannibalizing the economy.

Problem is that it’s hurting the economy, meaning that if your hypothesis is right, capitalism collapses rather quickly if left on it’s on devices.

Oh so they’re copying infamous and largely ineffective wolf warrior tactics from China. Good way to make every single country despise and look down on the US.

It’s almost as if every single data expert and privacy advocate was right. How curious!

The real news is that the CEO of Ford is too cheap to buy the actual electric Porsche.

Not to defend leakers even a bit and Nintendo has every right to go after them legally. However, the emulation crackdown is just Nintendo flexing their legal team on small devs who’ve done everything they can to discourage leaks from spreading within their limited reach. It’s 100% on Nintendo and they themselves are acting in a legal gray zone to bully 3rd parties into giving up. If any of the emulation teams had the resources to simply deal with big N, the situation would probably look a little different.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, yes leakers are in the wrong but no, they didn’t kill emulation with their actions even when it provoked Nintendo.

If I remember correctly the entire home 3D printing industry was held back by patents for decades. It was technically possible and feasible for much longer than we have commercially available 3D printers, but one or two businesses held all the patents and made it impossible to sell them cheap.

I’m starting to learn that patent trolling is a much bigger problem than we give it attention for.

The worst example I’ve heard so far is a US patent on fungi or mycelium as a plastic and styrofoam alternative. Think biking helmets or packaging material. That’s almost like granting a patent for wood as a construction material. It’s outrageous and seriously damaging progress across the globe because no one gets funding for something you can’t sell in the US.

It’s always refreshing to read reasonable comments to a nonsensical headline, but I do wonder why it even shows up in my feed when it has so many downvotes.
