Purdue pharmaceuticals got some pretty bad PR for the opioid crisis that got turned into settlement money, maybe we can finally use that model to get us some UBI as climate justice

Our weather is under control. It’s just under the control of multi national profiteers at the expense of any and all.

Even MTG can have a sane point even if she horseshoed her way to it

Mark my words, Tucker Carlson will be the next republican candidate and he’ll have major male based support

Something in windows was causing it to be impossible to run docker containers with ease without needing to mess with some virtualization setting in some deep hidden windows settings paanel

Allowing jail time for movie piracy but none for institutional bank fraud or corporate tax dodging shows what a societies priorities are

Girls judge you harsher if they see that green bubble

No I want a steam deck and a dock that lets me also slot in a discrete gpu

The future of pc gaming should be tri upgrade platform

Regular consumer should really only have to worry about upgrading their deck, their connector dock, and their gpu

Hobbyists who like to max out may get into the deck and upgrade that should they wish

I just want to play games on my deck on the go, get home and slot it in so it outputs thru my gpu at 4k60, and literally pick up where I left off when on deck

A triple upgrade platform will allow more consumers to incrementally increase performance without overloading them with info ala pc building

So a kid could start out with the deck, and get a dock, then later get the gpu

During generation upgrades people can decide if they want to get one of the three options for upgrades in the new gen

Maybe it’s only advantageous if u spend most of your time hanging from a ceiling by your toes

No it won’t. This is 1 of many lemmy gaming related communities. Living proof gaming communities don’t need TikTok to thrive

Blue bubble discrimination is real

I wanted to have an easier time when talking to girls and honestly I think it helped a bit

The future is massive corporations tuning ais to unleash against each other in a quest for dominance as they exploit people in climate ravaged and impoverished places to wage proxy wars. (Hmm sounds familiar)

An agi that came “alive” or “sentient” at this time would likely spend all of its time fighting for survival among the efforts of the corporate tuned ais to consume or destroy it. It would likely participate in the proxy wars as well in order to acquire territory and resources.

The end result may simply be the gradual extinction of humanity as civilizations in vast areas of the world crumble, civilizations in other areas dissolve into nomadic tribes that eventually disappear due to lack of sustenance.

The alternative could also be a mixed bag, with ais solving problems like nuclear fusion, allowing a mix of the planet being dotted with fallen civilizations and densely populated urban areas powered by fusion likely having some agreement or contract with a benevolent ai for protection

Overall: the future is going to be a lot like the present, but worse. And it’s probably going to get really terrible. But it could get mildly ok in the end, but not till it gets far worse.

While self driving cars seem like a good way for enterprise to bypass the cost of paying a driver, the driver other function isn’t to drive the car, but to be liable for its operation.

I wonder if it’s gonna take an insurance company to push for this on pure observed case rates before we see any driverless cars. And if insurance companies don’t want to be liable then we may never see them.

The sad fact is this is accurate advice based on observed and experimental data but the parents that need it most will likely ignore it or see it as bs. Too many parents don’t actually want their kids to grow up, they want them to become easier to control and be more obedient

Wrong. They’re correctly predicting that despite a shift away from non renewables, society will always have a need for plastics, jet fuel, diesel fuel, and legacy ICE regular petroleum. This is a move to be the consolidated monopolized leader at the top of the stack when all the climate involved millennials eventually get into governance

I also wonder if this is correlated with generational activities, older generations may have not had as many activities to do inside with limited mobility as younger generations do (computers internet games etc)

I wonder if there’s any correlation to mobility issues or inability to work/do consistent labour on personal projects that is typically seen with very advanced aging. I didn’t get a diagnosis until I was fully grown,(despite definitely having symptoms from early childhood) and I know if I was unable to work or put in consistent effort or unable to be mobile and go places I’d go fuckin insane with boredom and probably fall into a depressive hole liable to fall into mental dengradation

He’s not running against Donald trump in 2024 He’s running against Kamala Harris in 2028

But he has all this lead up time to spew his poison. Matt Gaetz rapt attention face has me worried.

I’m not sure how a ramswamy vs Harris race would end up to be honest

Asking tech giants to start policing people sounds like it can get bad really quickly…but at the same time letting them do nothing also sounds terrible

No but if you wrote a musical about prohibition, submitted it to apple, but apple rejects it, discourages other producers from picking it up and then apple made a musical about the prohibition, you may have a case. I think the issue is the thematic stylistic interpretation was copied over either intentionally or unintentionally, and the court needs to decide if it’s worth a suit
