It's crazy how normalized gambling became the last 10 or so years.

It used to be really hard to gamble legally. Now it's hard to find someone not pushing "legal gambling" everywhere. Meanwhile, we still can't smoke weed in some parts of the world? What?

I've always liked how the chad has his ass on backwards.

More cases of "rules for thee and not for me", of course. You won't see the DOJ arresting anyone in the Trump family making the same kind of bets.

If this guy's lawyer is smart about this, they should ask for discovery on specific instances of insider trading that we know about like the Iran bombing bets made on Kalshi or similar platforms. It would probably be a quick way to get the case dismissed or at least settled out.

The world's first opt-in computer worm. 🐛 🪱

I wish Europe would just embrace the fediverse. The techno oligarchs are not your friends and most of them are invested in the US.

Hot take: the biggest issue is actually ever entering a community and seeing zero comments. Most reddit addiction stems from wanting to read comments, so I think people should add a comment to something if they're upvoting and they see that the thread has zero comments.

Nothing eliminates enthusiasm like seeing 0 comments on every post in a community, especially if that community is driven by bots.

"In principle I like being a democracy. But the practice of it? Nah, I'd rather we do secretive bullshit."

Neat, I'll keep this in mind next time the liberals are in power lol.

Electron is the only cross platform gui toolkit...

If you ignore QT, GTK and everything else.

I'm so glad that Microsoft makes an awesome cross platfor--- wait, no, but they contribute code to--- hmmm ... Hey, what does Microsoft do to make apps more portable again?

Crazy how nVidia is the backbone of the modern tech oligarchy.

Glad Steve made this video to expose the craziness of the whole thing.

This guy is so dumb, man.

As if "we'll just kill people" isn't just a declaration of war. 🙄

It's stupid as hell to share any personal information with a company that is interested in spying on you and feeding your data to the nearest advertiser they can find.

Like seriously -- are people using their brains or what?

The term "unalive" is so cringey yet dystopian that I don't know whether to feel embarrassed or concerned when I hear it.
