This is always the question, but who does that?

I agree, you can’t shop your way out of political issues and joining a polity is probably the best thing you can do. Still, having to make a choice I’d opt for buying the more sustainable option.

I do care. I see a species ending disaster hanging over the future. I recycle, I have solar panels, a heat pump, an EV (that I leave on my driveway whenever my bicycle will do the job). But the planet is being ruined by greed on an unfathom

"The original wallpaper for Windows XP was Red Moon Desert, until people claimed that Red Moon Desert looked like a pair of buttocks." That's not what 'this looks like ass' means.

If you turned off all LLM’s tomorrow I doubt anyone outside of a bunch of rusty programmers would notice, whereas if AWS, GCP or Azure were switched off, or access limited, things would immediately catch fire around the world. This article

I’d take a nice person of average intelligence over a smart asshole any day of the week.

If you’re doing that anyway you might as well install a hypervisor and layer your OS on top. That way you can snapshot before your LLM with root fucks everything up again.

The graph for cumulative glacier mass balance is quite sobering. The loss seems to be accelerating as well. This stuff is so depressing.

I quote myself 2 years ago, forgive me if I’m stating the obvious: I'm going to set up two axioms to arrive at an extrapolated conclusion. One: Human psychology tends to ascribe more weight to negative things than positive things in th

Humans are still doing the work, except now it’s you instead of someone earning a wage. You do it for free!

You’re making a lot of assumptions. What is the cost benefit for cold calling? You could conceivably be better off letting the competition bleed. But I suspect a legit cost benefit analysis is hard to come by, mostly because marketing sells

Marketing ruins everything it touches, from the public square to the internet and from the phone network to radio. I don’t know what the alternative is, but I don’t need one to see this is shit.

That’s what the entire economy does by design. You make the lowest common denominator people will still pay for.

Ah, Lojban! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojban Sadly this does not let you speak to computers, just other language nerds with a lot of time.

Seems cool, ordered one. I like my Kobo but the ability to shove it in a pocket seems sweet.

Depends on where they live. Groceries don’t have to be a weekly run to a far flung place to get a truck bed full of stuff. It can be a daily visit to a neighborhood supermarket on your way home. If zoning laws allow those can exist.

I think it’s a legal requirement, because it’s the same for Tesla.

Beautiful project. Vim controls really found their way into my muscle memory through Tridactyl and Vimium, browser extensions that let you drive web pages and the browser itself with Vim keybinds.

Agreed. It’s a mess of confusing configuration spaghetti, my comment was not meant to imply quality (and that’s leaving aside asinine corporate policy). They’re pretty much the only game in town though sadly.

> The harsh truth is that most consumers pick Windows because PCs cost less than Macs. Businesses pick them for employee computers for the same reason. As a Microsoft sysadmin with a stable of homelab machines of all types and brands (an

I very much depend on my pay check to sustain my life in the long run, although worker protections and a small (!) nest egg make it so I wouldn’t have to put up with this kind of abuse. I see employment as an agreement for a set number of h
