Fuckin LLM bubble needs to burst already. I want some crazy compute cards to play with.

Also, who knew the only people who would pay 2400/yr for access would bebe the ones who plan to make hundreds of queries per day. What do like, people try to think about value for money before they buy stuff?! What are you all, NOT a filthy rich?!

Why is the list not just every Chinese company? do they not know how state capitalism works?

CMDR_Horn,

They do not.

WhatAmLemmy,

Yeah they do. Fascism is state capitalism. They plan to replicate China.

We have a puppet coming into the presidency. China will have all the inroads to our government they care to pay for. Tencent and Co. will be a non-issue.

surph_ninja,

As opposed to all of our previous presidents, who refused to be bought by corporate corruption? LoL.

The majority of ads on YouTube for the last 3+ months have been Pie, even after blocking dozens of them.

Lol pretty much every American company should be added to a similar list given how deep they are in the pockets of CIA, etc

"Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to "grass root" it by Russian troll factories isn't going to change anything.

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing.

If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by "news", I don't mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too."

fuck yes. fuck russia. fuck russians.
