Office capsules!

We meet in VR meeting rooms and at the end of the day, we’re safely delivered back to the parking lot via capsule shuttle.

If there isn’t an apt response in the midterms, we’re far beyond the point of return.

Does the admin’s affinity for tariffs have anything to do with Lutnick? His “former” firm bought tariff credits from companies for pennies on the dollar - huge upside if you knew what was coming.

I don’t see why this isn’t the norm, if you build something “destructive”, you absolutely need to compensate those affected by those actions.

How is Musk/xai even in the conversation here? It’s a lowly, also-ran AI company, not a “frontier model” company.

We all know Israel isn’t party to it either.

I wonder if part of this is usage by newer Android based emulators [1] used for emulating x86-based PC games on powerful snapdragon based devices (Retroid Pocket 6, AYN Odin 2 line, AYN Thor, AYANEO Pocket S2, etc).

[1] GameNative, GameHub (and GameHub lite)

Does this block something like Obtainium?

This is sad as there’s been a real resurgence of gaming devices (Ayn Thor/Odin, Retroid pocket devices, Ayaneo, etc) moving to Android from Linux variants (Batocera, Arc, Garlic/OnionOS).

It’s sad but more of an incentive for folks to finally take Linux as a viable alternative, and build on efforts made by Valve with SteamOS.

Weren’t foreign nations gonna pay the tariffs? What is this with requiring each customer to pay $10 per watch?

It’s funny how these very tariffs were introduced to “combat inflation” end up increasing it by an order of magnitude.

That’s a biased inaccurate hashtag. A sensible person would say yes to personal freedoms - it’s their choice. Don’t impose either world view on them.

Thank you for the contextualization - but Iran’s handling is nowhere close to Islamic, not observing the hijab doesn’t take you out of the fold of Islam (also where have men been held to the hijab - covering awrah, in such places?) - the 5 pillars are the fardh, everything else is something we strive towards.

Allah SWT’s mercy is boundless, hudhud punishments can’t be enacted for something minor of this sort. Iranian government lost the plot and is using every excuse to feign legitimacy when it never had any.

It is, unfortunately the "Islamic Republic of Iran" is anything but Islamic. Show trials, murdering innocents, etc. They're emboldened by their Soviet allies, CCP, etc.

Funny thing is, as a practicing muslim - there is no compulsion in religion (direct quote from the Qur'an). Iran literally is using the ignorance of the populace to push their own means of controlling the masses.
