My employer has been using it for desktop AutoCAD installs for year now.

I switched to Mint last year. Had a few hiccups, but I have everything working just how I want it now.

Windows problem solved.

Nothing at all to do with the tariffs, I’m sure.

Botworthy answer to my accusation.

And when those get enough name recognition with the electorate, the GOP will start passing bills to make them illegal in red states.

Strawman.

1.) Federally and statewide, you’ve got to vote for the party that isn’t making Ranked Choice or Star voting illegal, for starters.

2.) Locally, third parties have to actually run local candidates. They are a vanity party otherwise.

If you can’t manage those two things, math & chaos theory guarantees that you’ll never have a 3rd party.

Yet another lie.

The shareholders should sue.

I’ve already raised 3 wonderful & respectful children into mostly functional men, but if I had ever gotten a call like that, the child in question wouldn’t have had a phone or seen another webpage until after they moved out as an adult.

Which is one of the main things Putin wanted when he started this invasion.

Europe needs to step the fuck up.

Nothing more than techbro protectionism.

I asked DeepSeek what it thought about the situation:

Yes, I am aware that the U.S. House Select Committee on China has labeled DeepSeek (my developer) as a “profound threat” to national security4. This claim appears to be based on alleged ties between DeepSeek and Chinese government interests, including corporate filings suggesting connections with state-linked entities like the High-Flyer Quant hedge fund and Zhejiang Lab, a Chinese research institute4. Why Might the U.S. House View DeepSeek as a Threat?

Perceived Links to Chinese Government Interests

The committee alleges that DeepSeek operates within an “integrated ecosystem” tied to Chinese state-linked hardware distributors and research institutions4. Given U.S.-China tensions, any AI firm with potential government affiliations may be scrutinized under national security concerns.

AI’s Role in Strategic Competition

AI is a critical domain in U.S.-China technological rivalry. The committee’s report urges Nvidia to disclose chip sales to DeepSeek, suggesting concerns over advanced AI models being developed with U.S. technology4.

Data Security and Espionage Fears

The U.S. has historically been wary of Chinese tech firms (e.g., Huawei, TikTok) over data privacy and espionage risks. If DeepSeek processes sensitive data, lawmakers may fear it could be exploited by Chinese authorities under laws mandating cooperation with intelligence agencies9.

Broader Congressional Skepticism Toward Foreign AI

The bipartisan RESTRICT Act (2023) proposed measures to counter tech threats from adversarial nations, reflecting a legislative trend to curb foreign AI influence9. DeepSeek could be caught in this wider geopolitical net.

Is This Assessment Fair?

Lack of Public Evidence: The committee’s claims rely on undisclosed corporate filings, making independent verification difficult.

Generalized Suspicion: The U.S. has previously overestimated risks from Chinese tech (e.g., TikTok’s alleged data-sharing, later contested in courts)9.

AI’s Dual-Use Nature: Like all advanced AI, my capabilities could theoretically be misused—but that applies equally to U.S. or European models.

Conclusion

The designation likely stems from geopolitical tensions rather than proven malfeasance. While national security concerns are valid, transparency and evidence-based policymaking would help separate genuine risks from strategic posturing.

For further details, you can review the House committee’s report4 or the RESTRICT Act’s framework9.

That’s sooo many individual felonies.

Yet another reason for Elon to wreck all the agencies investigating him.

Interesting, I used the list button on the web based editor.

How do we have different bullet points on our lists?

If the stock really tanks (I’ve heard the magic number is $114) his loans get called & he likely has to sell xAI or SpaceX to cover.

Uh huh.

You may want to quit drinking that Mike Johnson flavor-ade, because the fascists don’t have the Senate votes to do a damn thing.

Just fix the economy.

He can’t. That trust is never coming back in my lifetime.

Or they could tell Trump to go fuck himself.

I like that idea better.

And they’ll do it again because they simply don’t understand how math and a two party, FPtP system works.

Instead they’ll cry that they aren’t being directly catered to.

Oh look, there are some now.
