Now I’m hungry for a Nasty Nevil

“One particular point of contention for Downey Jr is Musk’s obsession with Mars colonization. The actor didn’t mince words when he stated, “This idea of, ‘It’s all okay because we’ve gotta get to Mars,’ doesn’t really hold water with me.” It’s a striking criticism that cuts to the heart of Musk’s most ambitious projects.”

Of all of the thing’s Techbro has said and done, his fakey mars ambitions are a particular point of contention for RDJR? The nazi stuff is ok, but him pretending we’re all going to mars so we don’t have to care about Earth that parts the real issue? I hope this is just editorialized and out of context.

Brilliant! If we simply don’t measure the full impact, the report will indicate much less of an impact! Truly some of the minds of our times went into this.

In hindsight, the sites and services yahoo offered self imploding before they became fully enshittified is actually not the worst outcome.

Cyberpunk, as a genre of fiction, was supposed to be a warning and not an instruction manual.

It is a nail biter. The conservatives have gone from getting 2% of the popular vote to 44%. There are a lot of grievances right now. And the incumbent party has been in power for a long time and there’s a natural tendency here to alternate between parties so there’s pressure from people who don’t have as much specific desire for any given policy but just sort of vaguely feel like things would be better if we shook things up.

The votes are so close right now that we won’t know the outcome until closer to Oct. 26th when we expect all the mail in ballots to have been received and counted.

I’m shocked! SHOCKED! Well not that shocked.

They don’t gotta burn the books they just… reclassify them?

I was planning on starting some onions this fall. What other plants are good for overwintering when they are still young and which are we really better off waiting until spring for though?

And that’s ok! Like it’s totally ok to be the os that it is. And it’s ok that it’s not for anyone. It’s certainly not for my desktop atm. But then it’s super amazing at appliance stuff. I’ve got home assistant on a minipc and truenas on a server. It’s ROCK SOLID when it’s deployed where it will shine.

I honestly don’t want to leave windows. I did use linux for years and I don’t want to tinker with my OS or my applications anymore. And you’re right SteamOS isn’t a general purpose OS. My comment was more in the hopes that if it were pushed out like that, that MS would respond with more consumer friendly approaches to the desktop so I wouldn’t HAVE to switch again and deal with the jank. And there will be jank. I know a lot of games work now with proton but how about the Affinity Suite? I found a github that describes how to set up the process in like 18 easy steps so you can begin to install a custom wine for it and just like no I don’t want to do that. I want to just keep using my pc that works with the OS I actually paid money for and not get harvested. I am so tired.

Well, if Sam “Liar” Altman said it, it must be true! AI can solve climate change for us AND allow us to keep burning as much fossil fuels as the industry wants us to!

What the heck am I going to do when win10 stops getting security patches? I really wish Valve would open up SteamOS to desktops in a public and supported way. That kind of pressure from valve has forced MS to play nice to users in the past. Anyone remember MS demanding that all software for Win8 be sold through the MS store only? And Valve said, fine we’ll make our own OS, with blackjack! And Hookers! And steam machines became a thing. Noone bought them. But it didn’t matter. It was enough pressure for MS to open up to having 3rd party storefronts again. I feel like we need this again. Also, if linux played nice with anti cheat, and discord I would probably be fine ditching windows but as it stands I’d miss out on playing games with my friends.

Anyway. Privacy Nightmare AI tool bad.

This is an awesome bit of news to hear! Good job Thailand!

Just one more lane bro! Just one more lane and I swear we’re going to fix mathematics

This is not surprising in the least from the organization that brought us such amazing hits as “Cigarettes aren’t bad for you! Doctors recommend them!” when cigarette companies discovered their products give you cancer and “Climate change isn’t real! Invest in big oil!” when it became clear we couldn’t keep just burning fossil fuels forever. If there’s a take that is bad for people, the heritage foundation is there to promote the worst.

Remove parking minimums, replace surface parking with greenspace, encourage transit usage over driving a car. The first two are pretty low hanging fruit. OR THEY SHOULD BE.

lol thanks, these are just some memes me and friends have collected in discord over the years haha. I’d put more but it’s giving me errors now
