Don’t get me started 😂

I worked for a company that had over 300 clients with sites with them. They don’t give a fuck. We literally moved over 300 accounts to another provider over their shit support/sales teams. Domain, hosting everything.

They. Don’t. Care.

They took down services by trying things that aren’t possible on their platform (DMARC for subdomain). Totally unacceptable. How tf do they not know that they can’t accommodate my request without damaging my infrastructure?! Other providers can do DMARC for subdimains?!? WTF?!?!

If they’re your provider and you’re in trouble, contact Newfold Digital support first. That’s their parents company. They tend to route you better than Bluehost does. Shit Bluehost chat support has been broken for like 3 months lmao.

Hopefully it’s:

Find cool doctor.

Wear suit.

Forget.

But Russia being Russia… Man fuck this timeline.

Most welcome, and you the same!

I’ve been looking at it through the lens of this obscure joke from an old David Cross standup back in like 2003. Sad how relevant some of it still is. Highly recommend the whole special. It’s aged great. Not sure if that playlist is in the correct order, so… Tough sell. :)

Agreed and same toward you. Apologies if I came off as dismissive.

I think we felt the same in probably 2022. I think the recent tech supremacy race and the weird things like the US ordering Apple closing up shop in China, ordering all US companies (Nvidia) to not sell them the good stuff, and the efforts to separate specifically Chinese nationals from US higher education programs that delve into high end tech stuff is… Telling. And then… Shit like this?!

I won’t ignore the possibility of propaganda creating the divergence in where we probably agreed 2 years ago and where I am now. But I feel there’s enough economic proof and to me, historically it’s always seemed like money talks.

But I digress. Agree to disagree. I’ll be happy if I’m wrong lol.

Strange time to change your mind about it…?

South China Seas have never been more piratey. It’s basically a warzone already, inching closer to Taiwan every day.

By this I mean like… What’re your regularish news sources? Because my radar flipped the other way.

I put a hard barrier past 2030 because of the China Reunification thing. It’s a big thing for Xi. If he doesn’t attempt he’ll look like a no-balls fearful leader, or something. Idk.

And I say 2024 because he balls’d up around Xmas 2023 and said, as I mentioned, verbatim, “We will invade Taiwan this (next) year”

Id put money on it happening before 2031. Like lots of money.

But Xi outright told Biden he and to invade Taiwan. This year. Verbatim. I guess I’m saying he’ll lose a lot of public respect. Not that that’s as valued there as it is in the US, but it’s still reflect globally very weak and that’s just not what global superpowers do. They don’t make clear threats empty.

Idk. We’ve choked China out of AI supremacy. All of our mega GDP makers rely heavily on TSMC. Heavily.

I mean, entirely.

Like Biden throwing billions at chip manufacturers. Tensions in the South China Sea are ridiculous. The stakes have never been higher, and it’s right in what they see as their back yard. Taking down TSMC cripples the US economy, causes a worldwide kerfuffle (especially with tensions from Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, Israel/Iran, US/Israel, US/Ukraine, US/Iran relationships.

I get what you mean that you’ve been thinking that for a decade. Ive been seeing it for as long. But it’s gotten real with the AI bubble and tech sanctions. If it doesn’t burst before 2030, there’s no way China doesn’t act. Frankly, I’m betting on less than 6 months.

Trump. No teleprompter. No rambling. They’re gonna cut his mic.

He’s gonna have an aneurysm.

He knows what he did.

🤔

I mean I don’t want them to fight, but I’m pretty sure they’re not safe home either.

My bets have been on Taiwan being the flashpoint for well over a year now. Standing firm.

And my bet is and has been “before Christmas of 2024.”

“for now”

Laws in 2024.

This is why, Coursera.

This is why I won’t give you my driver’s license to verify my cybersecurity certificate.

This is why.

I got banned from r/politics for saying we were just waiting for old people to croak. “Permabanned”. Lasted like 3.5 years? Idk why/when I was unbanned.

Don’t sweat it. You’re literally better off.

Why is Biden not hiring 20-somethings to meme this shit to high hell holy shit.

This earnest photo is hilarious.

Let’s set up the narrative now:

Only a fucking pussy would back down from a debate against Joe Biden.

I mean… Lemmy is a start… right? Right?

2008 all over again
