I’ll add some negativity to restore balance.

These local ruinations are just a temporary blip versus China’s hard demographic facts like how over the last 10 years their birth rate has crashed harder than the birth rate of the Jews during the Holocaust.

Controller: Witcher, Cyberpunk, Senua’s Sacrifice, Shadow of War/Mordor

Mouse and Keyboard: Diablo, things that end in “Craft”

HOSAS: Flying things

Considering the end goal is obviously genocide, the ocean?

“So they write about it” with AI assistance. It can easily be argued that modern word processor software has some level of AI in it.

She: What kind of woman do you think I am?

He: We’ve already established that. Now we’re just haggling over the price.

Same story, it’s just a question to what extent the software moves from being an unacceptable amount of assistance as a tool. Sports equipment follows the same story, at some point it’s regarded as cheating, we just haven’t established what that line is. Clearly there are people who don’t care what that line is and so long as it represents a competitive advantage to ignore that line then people will freely cross it.

Palau-flagged vessel. I guess that’s what Palau gets for not owning 20 aircraft carriers.

I’m probably telling you people how damn old I am but this looks more like meth-tweaked Gauntlet to me.

ABB is supporting it therefore EA is supporting it, therefore it’s only a matter of time before VW is supporting it. Stellantis basically has no choice. V4 superchargers will have 800v so Hyundai-Kia should be able to jump on board, assuming the V2L stuff is worked out. Not sure of the status of that on NACS right now but it shouldn’t be a big lift for Hyundai since at this point it’s more of a physical difference.

And the front page is filled with trash from fringe subs.

Yeah, July 1st will be interesting. The important thing is that the various alternatives have gotten seeded with users who are contributing enough content to make them viable. That means that when the 1st hits users will have viable places to go.

Honestly, when I first got to Beehaw a couple weeks ago it was pretty sparse and 10 comments in a thread was a lot. Now 10 comments is thin and the low hundreds are becoming the norm. It’s growing and snowballing.

I didn’t have to read the article to know that the black guy definitely voted against black guys.

What ever happened to punting Hungary from the EU for no longer being a democracy?

We fund it every couple of years and constantly give the telcos tax breaks on piles of things like utility easements or looking the other way on a multitude of issues. For example, Verizon simply pre-pays for double-parking violations in NYC. In the end the telcos still flogging DSL on lines the government has funded for upgrades to fiber several times over.

Don’t forget tricks like how if a single house has minimal broadband then the entire zip code is considered “served”.

On Beehaw I can choose at the top from subscribed, local, or all. Local just gives be Beehaw threads, all is everything they’re federated with… such as your post.

Gosh, maybe now they’ll whip out those Armatas and Su-57 wonderweapons…

I’ve been running a QNAP TS-435UeX and it checks all the boxes coming in with a mountain of hardware and capability for cheap. Dual 10 GB SFP+ ports, dual SSD slots for raided read write acceleration, user upgradeable memory. It does a lot of stuff and it’s an appliance so all the building out and troubleshooting crap is done for you, you just do what you want to do and be productive. The onboard encryption engine can fill the bandwidth of those SFP+ ports even if they’re bonded. 4 drive bays, but you can also add another 12 via a couple of different sized expansion boxes.

It’s a 1U so the fans are kinda small, therefore it’s a bit noisy. The desktop version should be alright though.

I place the blame for this squarely at the feet of Al Gore.

That also depends on who the final boss is.

“Congratulations (insert name of winner), now it’s time to face off against…”

dramatic reveal

I’m a long-time proponent of the participants of such matches being handed a single brick before they go into whatever closed room or arena has been agreed upon. Also leave a third brick in the middle of the area. It creates a certain degree of strategy. It also livens up the “just hugging” part of the fight that many UFC or boxing matches kinda devolve into.

Do you throw the brick? Use it to block a thrown brick? Use it add a blunt weapon? Plus you need to get that third brick, but doing so exposes you to getting hit with a brick as you bend down to get it. There’s so many choices it’s like rock, paper, scissors except it’s just brick, brick, brick.

Post cards was the first thing I turned off in RIF. I don’t want a photo gallery, want a concise list of threads and maybe a small thumbnail at best. Thread title, domain of post’s link, how many comments and upvotes and the pertinent things to click, in as efficient a format as possible.

Do that and you can get like 10 posts per screen would makes browsing and scrolling very efficient.

Now, if you want to make it god-mode then add tabs at the top for queuing up stuff to peruse in detail.
