I like your logic.

A chain with an iron ball would be far cheaper tbh.

Friggin’ CO₂ always causing issues.

It should be, if even that, but as usual there’s people who take jokes far too far. Like, I’m sure there’s a Church of Flath-Earthism recognized somewhere. In the US. Southern US.

Fair point it’s been so long since I last took a chemistry course that if I knew anything cool and hidden about water, I’d have trouble resurfacing it. I do know they call it “dihydrogen monoxide” in some reports tho.

Fair point magnets are basically a superpower by themselves.
- Comment on Gotta go fast 2 days ago:
That does make sense, but then again, it’s been 2000 years and we can’t find something that boils, expands and compresses better than water? Or is t just because water is commonplace enough in comparisoan?

Instasaved!
- Comment on Gotta go fast 2 days ago:
It’s incredibly silly that even tho we advance the scale of power, with electricity, solar and even nuclear, all we use it is to boil water. We just can’t seem to be able t build any a more advanced mechanism, it seems.

Oh you have to deal with the actually gnarly parts of git… sending my condolences.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 3 weeks ago:
Wow, calling asking to identify if something is a thing by the name of the thing that it’s being asked about is “bully culture” now? This is a whole new low level of argument in the pro-AI take.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 3 weeks ago:
The fact that the thread is titled “is lutris slop now” is a clear indication that the intention of the poster wasn’t to contribute anything constructive but to attack the dev and put them on their back foot.
No, it was literally an important question to have answered. And booooy did the dev answer.

But in the end they are just tools to automate things
No. They are, specifically, tools to automate things in the most destructive way possible.

You can do that with 99.9% less damage to the environment and the working class with
git -f rebase, or even the old tried and true method ofrm -rf && git pull …. - Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 3 weeks ago:
AI does generate societal damage, but that’s mostly because of how companies abuse it and less because of the technology itself.
Don’t excuse the technology. It was created to be useless and wasteful. Every question on an AI engine helps burn down entire forests. Every AI that is kept awaken and serving dries the lagoons and rivers of an indigenous tribe, if not a small town. Every model is built upon the sustained theft of art, code and identity, to the point the main financers are proud of it and using it as legal justification.
People who are evil, made a tool for evil, and those using the tool of evil are doing little more than enabling evil. Number must go up.

Professionally I don’t feel like I have a choice, if I want to stay employed in the field at least.
On the contrary!
I’ve seen quite a number of “AI cleanup specialist” job offerings so far, and even a few consulting positions on training juniors away from using AI in development.
(No, I have not seen any position open on training management away from using AI…)

How about regard? Even tho it’s also a verb.

This world is full of evil, we have to be willing to be what little good we can get for what it is until people start doing really better. If Operation Epstein kills 150 schoolgirls and Trump, I of course won’t be celebrating that 150 schoolgirls are dead, but also I’m not going to lie that Trump dying is the only good thing coming out of that. What, you want me to lament that Trump is dead?
- Comment on ..? 4 weeks ago:
I would celebrate Trump death but not the 150 children. Gotta learn to compartimentalize and all that, in a complex world.

I know but the problem is that if you pay for a VPN, that’s traceable which has its own sorts of issues (not to even mention KYC-like laws).
If there was a VPN service that was a, like, one-time payment only or that accepted giftcards that could be easier.

Set the VPN location to a country
Isn’t that a paid feature on most if not all VPNs that gluetun supports?

A majority did, actually. Trump voters + non-voters.
