Non-profit organizations still exist within the capitalist system. Just because they don’t pay out dividends to shareholders doesn’t mean they can’t be exploitative. If a non-profit makes a lot of money, the people who run it just increase their own salaries. Happens all the time. And yes, non-profits exploit labor all the time. Local arts councils are an easy example of this. Run an art show where the venue and food are donated. They take a fee at the door, ask for donations throughout, and require a cut of any art sold. If there’s a bar, they get a cut of that too. The artists who enabled the show to even exist did all their labor for free in exchange for exposure and maybe selling something. They see none of the take though. Sounds pretty capitalist to me.

You can pull the form 990 for any non-profit in the US pretty easily. Here’s Mozilla’s: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/200097189

You just know this rich asshole is really only concerned about how deportations and tariffs are affecting her bottom line.

Edit: Oh no! I’ve made a potentially incorrect assumption about the true intentions of a billionaire. /s

Fuck the rich. Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Legal Mexican immigrant: Tries to leave United States.

Border Patrol: Oh no you don’t. We need to pad our stats with your deportation.

Nazis and KKK members already hate Catholics.

HP shut it down, so it’s effectively a paperweight or trash otherwise. Judging by the image of it sitting on a desk in a 3D printed enclosure, I’d say they’re probably not using it for its original purpose anyway. Pretty easy to solder in a bigger battery if you’re not trying to walk around with it.

The worst is that battle between my desire to turn the A/C off because it’s loud and I can’t think and my need to put it on full blast because it’s 100 degrees outside.

I finally understand the Winnie-the-Pooh comparisons, and now I want to see a jacked Pooh Bear. Maybe a sexy Eeyore and a scrawny tweaker Tigger too.

Absolutely diabolical. Cutting off internet access is no different than cutting of electricity in modern society. Sure, you can live without it, but everything from paying your bills to getting a job or having a social life just got a whole lot harder. Fuck anyone who thinks this is a reasonable response.

No argument there. It’s also why it’s done in ARM, 8080, SM83, z80, 6502, and basically every other assembly language. It’s only not done in RISC-V because you can fold 0 into any instruction as an operand, therefore eliminating the need to clear a register before an instruction.

So why correct the person with a more narrow claim that makes it seem like xor being faster than loading zero is a rarity in CPU architectures? If I said “birds can fly”, and your response was “eagles can fly. Ftfy. Not all birds can fly”, it would be both true and utterly unhelpful.

I never made that claim, nor did the person you corrected.

There are a lot more architectures than just x86 that are capable of XORing a register with itself (ie. ARM and RISC-V), and if you took OP to mean the accumulation register specifically, pretty much all CPUs going back as far as I can think have had that functionality.

Thanks. Excellent read, and it took me less than a minute to get through instead of the 20 it would have taken to watch (assuming I remembered to by the time I’m somewhere I can watch a video).

I’m going to continue missing out I guess. Youtube isn’t the problem, it’s videos. It used to be that if you wanted to learn something, you could just read it. Now everything is a video. I hate it.

There was no official language in the US until last month when Trump signed an executive order that made English the official language.

They have no idea how much more the trade war will escalate between the purchase and the item getting imported. If their laptops take several months to ship and their margins are lower than the increase in tariffs after the sale was made, then they lose money on the sale.

$735,234 as of September 2024 Form 990s are publicly available tax documents submitted by nonprofits. I just searched for “form 990 signal”.

The ones who voted were citizens. The simple answer to why they voted for Trump is that when you’re fleeing an oppressive socialist state, you don’t want to vote for anything resembling socialism, and they didn’t expect Trump to end temporary protected status for their friends and families.
