Sports team fans have always been a weird thing to me. Love the sport? Sure, but caring how a team does you have no influence over is weird.

Boomers seemed to have gotten everything they wanted.

Given the direction AI is headed—more personalized, able to reason and solve complex problems on our behalf, and everywhere we look—it’s likely that our AI footprint today is the smallest it will ever be. According to new projections published by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in December, by 2028 more than half of the electricity going to data centers will be used for AI. At that point, AI alone could consume as much electricity annually as 22% of all US households.

And for what? Not having to hire artists? A chat bot that will tell you to kill yourself? What problem of mine does AI solve?

Until there’s an energy surplus, any clean energy used for AI could could be used for something else that displaces fossil fuel use. If someone wanted to make a data center that sat on the ocean floor and uses the heat differential from thermal vents and ocean water, that would be an exception, but no one is proposing that.

Took you a while to come up with that.

About the same, but I would love to go to a lan party every now and then and actually game. I stopped going when people were more interested in sharing their puddle deep political takes instead of gaming and that was before gamergate. I can only imagine how bad it would be now.

People were more relaxed at lan parties and open server browser games. Rank tracking and matchmaking made everyone a sweaty gamer.

More then just those countries.

Yeah, I can see that. Sort of my issue with the EV Mustang. It isn’t just an EV version of the Mustang. It’s a completely different car. Just call it something else. Maybe a different horse breed.

I thought that may have happened with Only Up!, but it may have only been temporally delisted for copyright violations by the developer.

Looks like it happens fairly often for bad G2A codes or other redeem code fraud, which seems fair. People report that you can get the money back as store credit.

The first is passivity. Modern liberalism, certainly since the 1990s, has celebrated free markets and free people. In practice, that has meant deregulating both economic life and personal life, then treating the consequences as the price of freedom. In markets, this has allowed corporate consolidation and inequality to run wild. In personal life, liberals have become reluctant to say that certain behaviors are socially destructive. The result is liberal fatalism. People camp out on city streets, addicted and mentally ill, and liberals often describe this as a housing problem. Millions suffer from obesity-related illnesses, and liberals are more comfortable blaming “food deserts” than taking on the companies that hook their customers on processed food. Social media companies do the same with their consumers’ attention.

uh huh…

The way out of liberalism’s crisis is not to abandon liberalism. It is to recover its radical spirit. Liberals should once again be the people who hate monopoly, inherited advantage, closed systems and rigged games. They should champion real competition, real meritocracy and real equality of opportunity. They should take on corporate power when it crushes markets, government power when it protects insiders and cultural power when it creates bureaucracies that substitute group identity for individual dignity.

So he wants to dress up liberalism in socialist/communist/anarchist’s clothing? For who? The boomer liberals who still knee jerk at their Red Scare propaganda trigger words?

Israel was sterilizing Jewish immigrates that were coming in from Ethiopia. If they’re doing that to their fellow Jews who are just looking for a safe place to live, but are just the wrong skin color, they’re sure as hell doing shit to Palestinians.

Spyware and psyops.

For the two years it wasn’t owned by facebook?

Dan vs The Algorithm would be a pretty good episode concept.

Carmack seems fine for the most part. id’s equivalent to Sweeny is probably Tim Willits.

I think you’re ignorant to the reality around you. I think OPs image is a strawman made by a centrist that also does not understand the reality of the situation.

If you don’t know there are real Nazi followers and fascism out there right now, not 80 years ago, but right now, I do not think you know what Nazis are. I also do not think you know what a “rhetorical question” is.

It’s been years since I heard the word Nazi seriously applied to people who doesn’t support fascism is some way or were a fascist who just didn’t like wearing a mask during covid.
