I don't disagree with you, but that's what "having principles" , "being brave", "having honor", "defending the constitution", "having integrity", etc is.

It's standing up for what's right. What's just. The truth. Even when it might put you at odds with your party.

Any time a Republican ever calls anyone a coward or "spineless" we need to remind them of how they turned into absolute pussies during this era.

Pretty sure that's how it works everywhere.

Kemp has said that he would support Trump if he wins the 2024 Republican presidential nomination

Wtf is wrong with these people.

My wife and I couldn't afford to live in our own neighborhood if we were looking to buy now. We bought in 2019.

The rail road workers got everything they wanted and more. The admin followed up even if the media fell off. They also just raised the construction workers minimum wages on federal contracts.

Did you ask him to take the blinders off because you wanted a second set for yourself?

Bro, Elon gutted Twitter. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have the right people to get this information. I wonder if it sat in a mailbox for a day before they even had someone look at it.

Twitter isn't a well run company anymore. This could be pure incompetence.

It sucks. Rocm is the best alternative and theoretically can run cuda tasks but it's got a huge uphill battle in terms of documentation and industry adoption. It's gotta be better or significantly more cost effective to get people to switch, and right now its not cost effective enough to have people switch en masse. So the documentation and community will stay small.

That's obviously a trademark issue, but forking it should be pretty straightforward. You just can't call it (basically) the exact same thing.

Is there proof he donated? Was it specifically a donation against gay marriage? Has he donated to other causes as well?

Anytime I see a lynch mob forming, I always get a bit skeptical of the details. Context matters as well.

This guy could be a grade A sack of shit, but I haven't seen many links to proof, just people regurgitating the same stuff over and over.

Edit: I probably should have researched on my own before posting but here is what I've read so far: he donated back in 2008 (haven't found a link of a source that proves it, but I've also not found anything refuting the claim, not even his blog posts). He did post this back in 2014 when the hubbub started: https://web.archive.org/web/20200708202554/https://brendaneich.com/2014/03/inclusiveness-at-mozilla/

Maybe the bar is lower now after the trump tenure, but that post seems to show some genuine self awareness and growth. I know my views about the world have grown, changed, matured, and become much more nuanced since 2008. Is it possible he has as well?

Has he done or said anything shitty since that single donation?

Edit 2: I just saw some of his tweets on masks and saying Dr fauci lies https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/1337496169690230784. Bleh.

I know I'm jumping to conclusions but I'm starting to see some indicators of what kind of politics he's continued to have.

I had this whole spiel queued up on how we need to let people be able to redeem themselves. He's not the poster boy for that cause so I'll hold off.

And AI/ML workloads. Nvidia gets lots of shit and is more expensive but you get a better ecosystem with their cards.
