They differ in one major way: the economy was straight booming in the late 90s, and not in just a “rich people passing more money around amongst themselves” way. That dot com boom did end with a bunch of startups going bust, but it was also part of the process of building the internet we have today. Lots of hardware, lots of cabling, lots of towers, lots of people employed in making, installing, configuring, maintaining. In the end, the dot com boom created something.

This “AI” thing is a lot more “pouring barrels of money into literal incinerators”.

I just bought a Reolink camera, as opposed to the cloud-only ones. It’s quite nice, requires no account anywhere for it to work including person/pet/vehicle detection. Has FTP configuration so you can have the device upload footage to an FTP server of your choosing, or just leave it on the MicroSD card.

You can even get a workable burr grinder for ~$40.

That’s because that’s true.

A question was asked. I answered it. Please indicate where I was “unwilling[] to reason”.

Far west of Houston? All those kids are used to guns already.

I said 100% and I meant 100%.

@LyD@lemmy.ca points out that the barrier had nothing to do with it.

The outdoor range points away from the baseball field.

With NATO’s help, as one of his sycophants introduces a bill withdrawing the US from NATO.

It’s frankly amazing that this very pertinent information you revealed after the briefest of Google searches isn’t included in the “official” reporting.

If you fire a gun, you are 100% responsible for the bullet, full stop.

Bullshit
