This is a clickbait headline from Tom’s, as that’s not how the speech was worded.

  • To PC gamers and hardware nerds. Not to the average person or the high levels of US politics.

    As I often say, Lemmy skews really techy, but most people don’t know anything about this stuff.

    Not sure why you're being down voted. If you never built your own PC, you would have had zero reason to know who Nvidia was.

    And most people buy pre built machines. Most of those have probably been laptops for the last 10-15 years, so not even the chance to upgrade. They just but the latest things with the biggest numbers and assume it will handle their needs.

  • It's not unreasonable to simply dismiss what Trump says entirely, but it's a different matter to assign it a meaning other than the meaning that can be inferred from context. You're just putting words in his mouth at that point.

    Given all the possible context, I still don't see the headline as misleading 🤷♂️ idk what to tell y'all. Typically "breaking" news headlines are written in present tense "Trump threatens...", so any headline that starts "Trump threatened..." I just automatically assume to have happened sometime in the last 10 or 15 years, while bearing at least a semblance of relevance to current events. Like this one. It's definitely a nothingstory, but it doesn't read to me as a decrease in journalistic quality.

  • Navidia?

    That must be it. No way OP spelled that right.

  • This is a clickbait headline from Tom’s, as that’s not how the speech was worded. Per their own cherry picked quotes

    Trump continued, "I said, 'Who the hell is he? What's his name?' 'His name is Jensen Huang, Nvidia, ' I said, 'What the hell is Nvidia?' I've never heard of it before.

    The context being he had never really heard of Nvidia before they got so high profile, like most of the US population.

    Tom's does this all the time; they’re notorious for it in the PC Hardware news community.


    Yes Trump is an idiot and his speeches are stupid, but can we please not have ragebait stretching it even more?

    I’m sorry to keep bringing this up and getting so sour, but I feel like Lemmy's information hygiene is deteriorating, and we're happily upvoting it away. Big community mods need to put their foots down and put up basic soft rules, like:

    100%.

    Frequently Lemmy left users appear as deluded as Trump supporters with their foaming at the mouth support for anything and everything anti Trump.

    It's like hating Trump is a personality trait now, it's fucking sad.

    It's also how we got Trump. We overfed the troll.

    I mean, I don't have a problem with hating Trump being a personality trait.
    explain why I should like him, he represents everything I despise and is making my country somehow am even bigger laughing stock of the world. Now I obviously know this is a problem with American elites...far beyond trump but he's effectively the CEO of the country and as such would be the person to blame.Just as they like to say Biden this Obama that Clinton this other thing...not that any of it matters anyways because obviously one single person doesn't control much anyways as people should know

    I mean I think he's a character and fun to watch sometimes, but that's about it.
    don't really know how you can make Trump look worse than he already does with his hateful vile words and disgraceful record.
    he's brought a new level of corruption to an already corrupt office, which I find quite astounding

    I can't see how anyone would be like, 'why are people so quickly anti trump'
    if you ask me-- noone with braincells and good intentions should be supporting him (or the Dems for that matter)! but certainly not an administration that is actively covering up one of the greatest child trafficking rings in modern history.

    sorry for the rant but I just truley do not get this take 😭

    I'd be more shocked if I came to lemmy and it read like r/conservatives

    Because that's exactly what Trump supporters do: don't think critically, just blindly, loyally assume the opposition must always be incorrect.

    It's not about supporting him or not, it has nothing to do with that. It's about seeing through objectively false posts (often posted for money, attention, or simply from gut feelings) and people cheering them on, which is exactly what has empowered Trump and given his supporters something to point to painting them as victims of lies.

    You should set aside any thought about Trump and look at the material first. That's critical thinking, in a nutshell.

    Or you can play the engagement hate game that got that man into office.

    Thanks for outting yourself. I haven't blocked anyone here lately.

    Guessing you already blocked me, but are you suggesting I'm a Trump supporter?
