    NGL this is just silly. He had an affair, which is like a must-do for any CEO of a big company. There are still memorials for people who did way worse but a plaque for the founding of one of the most impactful tech companies gets taken down …

      It’s that whole “being a traitor to our nation” deal. This has nothing to do with infidelity. It’s the state secrets, of course

        Wich state secrets ? Afaik he only sold GPUs to them, the ones that are available on the open market but shouldn’t be available in China. And again there are monuments to people who were traitors in the Civil War, which is unarguably a worse crime.

        That’s amazing, but from the YT description of that vid:

        Not that i could prove any of this but oh well: Me and the drummer talked to the owners right before they were closing this location and they were gonna have the lease through the end of the month. They said they were shutting down for business the next day and we asked if we could have a small show there.

        i mean i won’t whine about being kicked out for bringing mcdonalds, nor for them allowing a band to play-- i’m guessing that was not during the day, when all the old people go to dennys

        also, props to them for rescinding the nvidia chode’s “denny’s honor” lol
