Honestly given current technology, it makes the most sense to care for the Earth than attempt to colonize other planets, which are fundamentally unlivable in a myriad of ways. Survival of our species doesn’t mean a whole lot if it is 8 guys in a Mars base dependent on regular supply missions from Earth.

Not to mention, if we do focus on our planet and how to best manage the environment, it teaches lessons on how to potentially manage other planets’ one day.

Yeah, the Starship was severely over-promised from the start, especially the payload capacity. I wish there had been more required demonstrations from the beginning, instead of just using the numbers promised by Musk, who is known to inflate numbers for marketing purposes.

Not to mention the assumption of orbital fuelling working perfectly without even doing any demonstrations at all or pointing to any existing technologies. It’s a very Kerbal Space Program idea but significantly more complex in reality. Especially as now they are planning 5+ refuelling missions per Starship going to the Moon, which is logistically baffling.

Yes, the number of people on here who claim that withholding their vote to ‘punish the DNC’ and make them learn a lesson is helpful is too high. If the Democrats were going to learn their lesson, they would have done so after 2016. Believing that by not voting, they’ll affect the Democrats’ strategy doesn’t make them leftist, it makes them another flavour of liberal, who thinks establishment electoralism is a pathway to socialism.

A much more effective solution is to organize locally, educating people on real solutions and pushing for change that way, not by blindly assuming the Democrats will reflect on their loss and run a communist candidate next time.

Accelerationism doesn’t even make sense at the moment, if a revolution breaks out, it will be a free-for-all, with different groups trying to claim all the power. And judging by the results of the election, the majority of Americans either fully support or are fine with fascists winning. The working class has to be educated, has to have their consciousness built up before a revolution can actually go communist, otherwise you just end up with populism and fascism. It’s very shortsighted thinking.

Exactly this. The average leftist can talk for ages about how Harris has to ‘earn their vote’ but at the end of the day you vote for the political party you have, not the one you want. The fact Trump won the popular vote is shameful on the part of the US left. Voter suppression definitely played a part but the lack of urgency, the constant infighting and demands for Harris to appeal more to them absolutely did not help matters.

Dishing is trying to make back the money he lost on Twitter

I’m very impressed by your typing speed if 20 gbps is a bottleneck

There really ought to be a mandate or something that provincial parties cannot share names with federal ones, to prevent this sort of confusion, imo

Absolutely. The way he talks too, he uses this flowery, overly technical language you usually only use when talking to engineers or technical people. It’s purely an attempt to confuse and sound smart, as any engineer worth their salt will tailor their language to their audience.

Don’t worry, since Trump will install himself as dictator for life, this means he has more than 4 years to get someone to Mars.

Then again, given Trump’s age and diet, maybe 4 years is generous in and of itself…

Looks like a plug-in wall adapter: https://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/wall-wart

Guarantee this is a ploy to chase off the ‘less committed’ employees (read: less desperate), while not having to announce mass layoffs.

Super cool! I came across this a few days ago myself actually, and it’s really cool how easy it is to set up. Sadly I’m running Windows at the moment on my main gaming rig, so I’m still using Sunshine for now.

It must be so easy to grift money out of conservatives. Just spout some conspiracy theory about how ‘they’ are actually behind the bad things in the world and watch the money pour in, regardless of how little sense it makes.

This is exactly it, they’re going to feed all this data into a model to try and get an AI to be able to perform operations in the OS like a human would.

Which on the surface of it sounds reasonable, but only if they actually paid people to generate that data for them. And this isn’t even touching the privacy aspects of a record of everything you do being generated and stored in plaintext.

You underestimate my power, I see a Settings menu, and instantly enter a fugue state, 30 minutes pass and I suddenly come back to myself, my desktop environment looks entirely different, the windows are wobbly, and GTK window theming is broken.

I need help

Yeah that’s exactly the thing, people freak out so much about China having access to their data, but act much less concerned when it comes to their own government potentially having access to said data. One of these options has the ability to affect your life if they don’t like your data, and it isn’t China.

(Not to get me wrong, I think no government should have access to one’s data, moreso pointing out the double standard)

Oh interesting, I never knew about that side of Kagi. The fact the company is focused so hard on AI is a red flag. I don’t think I’ll renew my subscription when it comes up later this year, given how erratic their plans seem.

Agreed, you’re probably going to run into network bottlenecks before storage read times become an issue

Given what I’ve read about his management style, the more time he spends on Twitter, the better it is for his employees.
