I hope Beef prices go to $1000 a pound so that we can end that horror show of torture on cows and the planet. Wendys be damned!

I would only argue that it was Biden fault because he didn’t step aside earlier. Only giving Harris 2 months run up wasn’t enough to get it across the line.

Nothing worse than a confident fool.

You can build and run data centers to be quiet and not guzzle water, it is just cheaper up front for them to do these quick and dirty data centers because they don’t give a damn.

I just wonder how the voters feel about this. I couldn’t imagine voting for someone only to have them immediately skip the country because they lost. What a great show of strength and power. 🙄

I do realize I may be allocating too much introspection to the majority of voters of Bolsonaro.

As someone that pays for premium, my subscription is very very VERY vaguely tenable at best.

It is worth the price of access but just barely, it is a case of it the quality dips any further or the price increases even slightly then I will be back to the old path.

Alas, with Google intent on closing the side loading gap on android, things like Newpipe are going to go the way of the Dodo.

It is amazing how long Shatner has kept going. But that is the power of ‘Denny Crane!’ ;)

Pretty much. Most have an image of how they wish to go, peacefully in their sleep is a good one. But to have that combination is to be in such a dreadful state. Alas, it is not of our choosing at the end of it all.

Pretty much. They already had this tendency, it is just accelerating and now the technology has kicked it into turbo.

Turns out reducing peoples expose to their core advertisement business while burning millions of tokens to produce a summary, not the best business decision they have ever made. But what do you expect of MBA’s that praise Jack Welch like a God.

Yep, neoliberal gonna neoliberal. They can at least ease the gas on all the nasty social rhetoric but they will not make any significant difference in the capital engine powering it all underneath.

I’m not saying “Don’t vote, nothing changes!”, I am just saying, temper your expectations.

We are for the jobs the comet will bring.

I am starting to think that having hard technical or imposed market limits might be a good thing, or at least the lesser of two evils.

It you had to build a game on before the era of cheap middleware engines, there was a natural barrier to entry. The Nintendo seal of approval used to mean something at least even if the game was still trash.

But now, you can flood the space with minimal barrier to entry and we are being flooded with junk. But those that control the access and making big money off this so they turn a blind eye.

A few months back, there was a reddit post for my local town, it was about self publishing their new game on Steam. Anyway, about a dozen others posted links to their projects all releasing within the next few months, all of them copies or low effort projects. This is a single town, in a single country, that is releasing potentially dozens, possible hundreds of games a year. The market is flooded because we have made it so easy to pump this junk out and there is little interest in putting even vague restrictions on it.

The crash is coming and we will all know why it happened.

Pretty much this. I am reminded of when reality TV first came up, it was thought that it would be a passing fad lasting maybe a year or two. People get exited by it at first, then get bored of it craving something with more substance. It never happened. Turns out the slop machine hit a level good enough that many would lap it up. Survivor is going into it 51st season right now.

But while this stuff can be produced (be it text, TV, software), you can curate it. Those curated lists will become the new social treasure like how some movie critics could become minor celebrities in themselves. Yeah there will be AI bots trying to do that as well, but if they fall flat, so to will their respect.
