The war thunder forums are going to go HARD for the next 4 years.

“Let’s set aside the obvious conflict of interest and ethics questions at play here —” You can’t, and you shouldn’t.

"We can even skip over the security implications pointed out by a cybersecurity expert in the Times piece. " You can’t, and you shouldn’t.

“As a practical matter alone, there’s no obvious reason to add another ISP in order to improve Wi-Fi coverage” It doesn’t take an entire paragraph to figure out what’s going on here let alone an entire article.

As someone from north of the USA border… PLEASE stop this man from stealing your country, Americans.

Uranus is rising

Hey Poland! You got a copy of the Geneva Checklist?

So I am pretty uninformed and I have a gut reaction that I am going to look into today, but I’d appreciate anyone’s insight here. My gut feeling is that crypto is kind of… not-good aligned let’s say. It’s wasteful. It’s often predatory. How can it work with Buddhist ethos?

Finally! This is what true freedom of speech looks like. Imagine being so free to say things and NEVER have to hear anyone oppose you.

Or go try the demo. It IS eerily uncanny. It’s not at the point where it would fool you for long, but it’s close enough to get caught up in it from time to time.

You could fix the fsd by simply taking it out. Come to think of it, that could work for Melon Husk too.

I just wish LLM felt better to say than AI. Like AI just rolls off the tongue but LLM feels like a mouthful. That doesn’t help :(

This feels like a “WATER IS WET!” type situation with the exception that a large part of the population would end up being shocked and appalled by the idea of water being wet.

In a move that shocked absolutely nobody

My god, that’s brilliant!

At least we know chatgpt wasn’t involved

“One particular point of contention for Downey Jr is Musk’s obsession with Mars colonization. The actor didn’t mince words when he stated, “This idea of, ‘It’s all okay because we’ve gotta get to Mars,’ doesn’t really hold water with me.” It’s a striking criticism that cuts to the heart of Musk’s most ambitious projects.”

Of all of the thing’s Techbro has said and done, his fakey mars ambitions are a particular point of contention for RDJR? The nazi stuff is ok, but him pretending we’re all going to mars so we don’t have to care about Earth that parts the real issue? I hope this is just editorialized and out of context.

In hindsight, the sites and services yahoo offered self imploding before they became fully enshittified is actually not the worst outcome.

Cyberpunk, as a genre of fiction, was supposed to be a warning and not an instruction manual.

It is a nail biter. The conservatives have gone from getting 2% of the popular vote to 44%. There are a lot of grievances right now. And the incumbent party has been in power for a long time and there’s a natural tendency here to alternate between parties so there’s pressure from people who don’t have as much specific desire for any given policy but just sort of vaguely feel like things would be better if we shook things up.

The votes are so close right now that we won’t know the outcome until closer to Oct. 26th when we expect all the mail in ballots to have been received and counted.

I don’t think they care at this point. They can say and do anything and just say it’s a conspiracy.
