If we were to refuse to take action because the outcome won’t be a perfect solution, we’re doomed to just never take action and continue being pissed on.

It’s not so much overusing as wasting. Capitalism has lead to an overproduction of low quality garbage that ultimately ends up in landfills. Fast fashion brands that produce more low quality clothing than they can sell, just for unbought good to end up in landfills. Food that is thrown away because there’s a surplus that can’t be sold because it doesn’t meet particular standards despite being perfectly edible.
We could optimise processes, make waste and overproduction the more expensive alternative. We don’t, however, because it’d lead to lower profits and we hold up profits above all else.
The average person doesn’t really need to travel less. A family of 2-4 people commuting by jet with another ~100 passengers once or twice a year is going to have way lower emissions than say, Elon Musk, Taylor Swift, or fucking Linus Techtips.
Sure, individuals can change their habits, and in large swathes it will make things better. But it won’t fix anything, because the problem was never the average person. The problem lies with corporations and the mega rich. They’re the ones that need to go.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams status 2 days ago:
For me it’d be better to just run the stupid Teams app on my work phone, but that’s always been a hassle because it locks itself and then I don’t always get the notifications. My primary work laptop only has 16 gigs of RAM, and having Teams eagerly gobble up a significant portion of that is highly frustrating.
There’s been several occasions where I’ve been building or debugging something, RAM being tight, and the OOM killer correctly deduces that Teams has to go. Makes me laugh every time I finally check back on Teams and realise it’s been dead for a while.

This chain was really funny, and it has brightened my day. Thank you.
- Comment on The year is 2036 and I’ve been brought in for questioning because my PlayStation Plus subscription lapsed well over 3 months ago. 4 days ago:
World of Ass? I was playing that a lot the other month, absolutely bananas that it requires an online connection.
There’s the Peacock Project though, which lets you host your own server. Ultimately that kind of thing shouldn’t be required but it’s nice that players have made their own thing. Like what do you mean I need to be online and connected to their services to progress in the campaign and unlock new things in my singleplayer game?

The Bolshevik decriminalised homosexuality, and then Stalin came along and fucked it all up.

This is stirring a memory. I swear there was some kids film or show where a toilet spoke, something like “thank you for flushing away your poop.”

It is a post from 4chan so unfortunately that kind of language is to be expected. I’m hoping people here don’t use i, or wish to normalise it.

Fuck me, that’s such a good solution.
My flat has all windows facing west-southwest, and I live on the top floor under the roof. I’ve had 30 degrees inside when it’s been 24 outside today. Tomorrow’s going to go up to 29. I’m going to boil in here.

- Comment on Why can't I apply SPF50 sunscreen twice to get SPF100 protection? 2 weeks ago:
This is the way to do it. You need a lot of it to get the full protection that it offers.
- Comment on What is Exaptation, Alex? 2 weeks ago:
I mean they can definitely overlap. I want to live so I want and need my medication. That kind of thing.
I think my amusement is more that “those who want to take very bitter medicines” sounds to me more like they’re doing it on a whim. :)
- Comment on What is Exaptation, Alex? 2 weeks ago:
I like the phrasing of “want” rather than “need.”

Jesus in general to be honest.

And you’d still not get radiation poisoning from that many banananananas.
- Comment on Map of all AI data center in Europe 4 weeks ago:
I am aware, but it’d be disingenuous to say that we’re not training LLMs in Europe.
- Comment on Map of all AI data center in Europe 4 weeks ago:
Eh. I’m not sure if we have any data centres dedicated specifically for training and running LLMs, but we do have data centres that do both.
- Comment on Guerrilla plantfare 5 weeks ago:
That’s a hard question. It’s floral, which feels like “duh.” It has a fairly mild fragrance. Here it is almost always paired with lemon as well, so you end up with a kind of tangy, almost floral lemonade kind of thing.
It’s great.

I had no idea Sambucus was native to America. Elder flower is such a quintessential childhood flavour to me.

This is why I just can’t support straight people. Their choice of lifestyle just isn’t natural.

I have a husky too, but this describes me more than it does him. I’m the neurotic one in the relationship.

The right wanting to eradicate minorities has nothing to do with fiscal corruption. It’s just pure evil.

I think a lot of people had this experience. Yahtzee Croshaw had a similar experience, albeit compressed to a month, and it resulted in a book. It’s a really fun book, too.

I’ve been playing Hitman: World of Assassination all weekend.
Not sure if that’s better than the alternative.
- Comment on Damn straight! 5 weeks ago:
I’m a software developer. My old roomie is a truck driver. I’m devastated he makes almost as much as I do.
He has to drive a truck 5 days a week the entire year, no matter the weather. He deals with accidents, annoying customers, breakdowns, tight spaces, heavy goods. Workdays often drag out, and sometimes he didn’t manage to get home and had to sleep in the truck or at a motel. People are dependant on his work, if his truck doesn’t arrive, a store might not get food, and the attached community will suffer. He takes half an hour to commute to work.
I work from home. I have a few set meetings daily, but I schedule my time on my own. Three times a week I take some extra time to go for a run through the forest with my dog. I’m safe, my bed is always nearby. My commute is the thirty seconds it takes to crawl into clothes and to my office. If I miss my work we at worst have to delay a product launch by a little.
I’m happy with my pay, no doubt, and I wouldn’t want a pay cut. My friend deserves much more though. It’s bananas to me that he doesn’t catch up with me despite all the overtime and such. It’s incredibly unfair.

If the energy drink companies started making suckers we’d see so many toothless teens. Dentistry would be a fantastic career choice.
