I just grabbed a queen and took out a ton of pieces unopposed.

I was really hoping the “live stream” would be just pee streaming into the urinal.

Wait a sec, are you telling me your pee stream froze and you got stuck to the urinal!?!?

Rivian is ready.

I’ve beeen a Synology user for a long time, but their practices have become more and more anti consumer as time has gone on. To go from DSM 6 to DSM 7 I was meant to buy all my security station license again. I downgraded again, it was painful.

This is only electric car market share.

I was running Apple WiFi routers for a good 20 years. Maybe 1/4 died in that time, but many ran 20+ years before I abandoned them for newer standards. Some are still going as whole house audio streamers.

Expectations don’t always match reality.

Elite Generous? Is that the space philanthropy game?

US scientists works in the same way.

Doing that will probably make it near impossible to get serviced, though.

The wording of the headline would be different if it were trying to convey that.

I think it’s a slightly different connotation. “China scientists” infers scientists residing in China while not presuming their ethnicity, while “Chinese scientists” implies their ethnicity but not their location.

EU governments are probably the only path to mainstream adoption for desktop Linux. If they all did it and invested in the features they needed, it could provide a valid option for mainstream office use.

Oh I think they can do it for a while… But then they need to start bumping up the profits.

At least we have something to be happy about in this hellscape.

Well, you can’t argue that it wouldn’t work ;-)

I’m not sure AGI would. Maybe ASI. But in the end it’s still humans that would likely have to enact whatever proposals it came up with.

At the end of the day, the future is written by human beings, and unless we have a collective vision of where we are trying to go, the darker forces among us will take control and do as they wish with us.

Despite him being a tech bro and everything, I do think we need more shows like Star Trek these days to show us what a functional future with technology could look like. I think the only examples we see any more in popular culture are dystopian, and I think we are starting to believe that those are the only possible outcomes of the path we are on. Even Star Trek these days is pretty dark.

We need to again try to imagine a world in which the better half of humanity succeeds.
