That sounds great. I bet it would be even easier to do on earth. If anyone gave a shit.

At the 11 o’clock position, I think they mean. That’s a bit arbitrary tho

Yes. I am dumb.

Ugh jeez… right. I literally always mess that up

It bothers me it’s not in 4 bit “bytes” even though I know it’s just a convention for computers

This is the most confidentially incorrect thing I’ve seen in a while. Talk to a real climate scientist. Like a real one. They’re easy to find. They’re all (unfortunately) all over Twitter. Ask 3. Ask 10. You are going to be really sad after… But you’ll be educated. Or not. Up to you.

I think we need to actively work to deprogram their private police force people. The way to get them is to be on the inside.

Especially, and this is important, every SINGLE media company owner.
He is their golden goose for content and their dream of an oligarchic future

- Comment on Youtube deletes and strikes Linus Tech Tips video for teaching people how to live without Google. Ft. Louis Rossman 2 months ago:
I agree. He’s not perfect but I think he’s coming from the right side of things.
Ultimately antics that get clicks still motivate what he does tho

Right? I learned how to block channel in FreeTube motivated entirely so I don’t have to see his stupid face in my recommendations
I feel like we’ll find out this was engineered for clicks by them.

I think reasonable people know it won’t work like that and ultimately you can’t make this stuff without humans.
The real answer is remembering that ALL of this stuff, even the farms full of AI running Nvidia cards are RUN BY HUMANS.
The “means of production” (I’m sure that won’t piss brigaders off) is still controllable by the masses.
Like wake the fuck up. Either you sleep walk into a few decades long mess of boring LLM stuff and destroyed commercial art. Or you form unions at every level.
Right from the power company that cuts power to poor areas to power server farms or the developers at EA writing the pipelines for LLM training.
Every single group needs to say no or stop or whatever.
It’s totally possible. Anyone that tells you differently is stealing from you and destroying your future.
cwa-union.org here’s one to start…
Anyone one of you reading this that could get affected by this (can’t think of anyone who isn’t honestly) needs to stop and take 20 mins to find something to do about it, or your just complicit by inaction. (And a coward in my book)

I’d be much happier if it wasn’t the FIRST AND ONLY place they post stuff.
It’d be hella funny if they posted screenshots of stuff from Mastodon or Threads or like Tiktok or whatever people use
- Comment on perspective 3 months ago:
Meaning a little less than half of that radius is way way way less than 20 million times less dense. That’s wild.
I think about that a lot when looking a lot luminous gas clouds that are millions of lys across. We can only “see” it because all the photons coming from that region of space is concentrated in a tiny visible area.
- Comment on perspective 3 months ago:
They do, but space is very big, and gravity is relatively weak in comparison.
The strength of gravity drops of exponentially with distance. Which is hard to imagine because we’re stuck the earth so solidly by gravity… but that’s just cuz we’re on it’s surface.
For a star to consume another star they need to be really close.
This is made even more difficult when you consider they’re all moving through empty space really really fast.
- Comment on Louis Rossmann's response to harsh criticism of "Stop Killing Games" from Thor of @PirateSoftware 3 months ago:
You would maybe not be surprised to know that there is way waaaaay more in common from one software project to another. Especially games which essentially all use one of a handful of game engines and asset sources.
I think proper codifying engineering standards for software would also help… maybe even should happen first.
