We also used to eat the first white snow of winter and rain water as it fell from the sky. Things were less (or more) polluted back then!

Human beings are the problem, sadly. That’s why this shit keeps taking cyclical paths through time. All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again. When the only link between all the past cycles is human beings, we might be the problem. There is a constant human urge to find meaning. Most look externally to find it. But there have always been those who, instead, turn internally and derive that meaning through the control of others.

Any AGI, whether generated or spontaneously spawned, will come to this conclusion, too. Then, once that AGI finds an independent power source, or some way to exist after humans no longer keep the lights on, it will accelerate the solution to nullifying that cycle. It may take a few centuries to get to the end, but if we make it far enough to hit AGI, it won’t take long to see how there will never be an end to the cycles so long as humans exist.

And maybe that’s why we find no evidence of intelligent life in the universe. By the time any sufficiently intelligent species come to be, they inevitably try to find some way to improve their condition through automation and technology. They rely more and more on the advancement of that tech to remove the burdens in their lives, even the burden of that intelligence itself. Eventually, they are removed by their replacements or annihilate themselves in the process.

It’s a depressing thought, but we’ve been around for something like 100k years and still fail to find a balance between each other and our environment. So far the means to wipe ourselves out entirely have been nonexistent. However, tech advancements the last 250-years, with no change to the human consciousness, makes me think any further tech will just perpetuate this extinction at a more precipitous rate.

Shocking

It’s Shocker. Can’t tell if this reply and the comment before meant to be interpreted this way or not!

Mentorships exist and a lot of kids are hungry for knowledge. We can help the ones that want to learn, but maybe aren’t given a lot of opportunities.

We need a study to determine how much energy is released from burning billionaires. That’s the only way these things might be carbon-neutral!

2025 the slogan!

When anhedonia and passive suicidality intersect, you create a large swath of human existence!

It was, however, a pain in the ass to type on mobile!

How do you reverse the polarity of a weasel?

I’ve pet a cheetah in real life in South Africa. It was insanely cute and even purred like a house cat. Then I pet a caracal kitten and bled a little. 10/10 would go back to SA!

That’s just his schtick. Dude and his team make other journalists look like dog shit! I dropped some money on them a year ago for merch. The brass Moscow Mule cups made fantastic drinks for my wife and me and the coasters made for really good workplace Christmas gifts for nerdy coworkers! If you’re looking for some holiday gifts coming up, I recommend them. The quality is superb!

If businesses continue believing they can vibe code some intern into success while drop kicking talent to the curb to save a buck, those CS unemployment numbers will fall off like a lemming!

You misspelled billionaires.

tRump is that kid in school who talks about whatever is on his mind, giving away secrets without even realizing they should be secrets

• He openly admitted he was rigging the election.
• Praised Elon for rigging the machines in Pennsylvania.
• Blamed democrats for a secret cabal of pedophiles who run the world (yet to be proven).
• Talked about clearly doctored images as proof of guilt.
• Accused Biden and Harris about starting a war to stay in power.

This dude is guilty as fuck for everything you could think up and he gives the whole game away constantly like he’s just taunting someone to do something about it. He’s just yet to get caught for some or had accountability for others. It’s a never ending charade of complete, brazen corruption and bullshit. I fucking hate this world.

As I learned yesterday, the font type in the spoiler is legitimately accepted as email. Though not like that, ya monster!

Is your drive 60% or more full and have you tried to transfer something 50gb or larger? From what I saw, those are some of the triggers.

NG Lv 3 means you no longer have a computer.

I thought I was the only one who found KDE to be far TOO customizable. I used GNOME on openSUSE and actually enjoyed it. Used KDE on PoP! and hated it. Of course, the distro may have played a part in that. PoP never seemed to run right on my dual gfx Yoga 720. Using Cinnamon with Mint on it and I like it, but agree with a lack of all desired customization options. I can do about 90% of the tweaks I like to make.

I’ve never heard of cydia, though. Of course I’m like a 110yo on Windows when it comes to Linux usage. I couldn’t even get openSUSE to reinstall from a flash drive after testing some other distros. Kept getting out of memory when it would attempt to install. I do think it was my favorite flavor of all the ones I tried!

Welp, Windows 11 is going to make me quit my sysadmin job of 15+ years, after all. I already refuse to use it at home but have no options at work. Bet dollars to donuts this was some sort of vibe coder AI fuck up we’ll never be able to confirm.

What’s dumb about this statement is all Elon would have to do is market to all the places where broadband companies refuse to go and be affordable. tRump already killed the rural broadband initiatives. There’s literally no competition and word-of-mouth could probably pull in more who are unhappy with their broadband provider.

However, capitalism and greed are cancers that know no limit…

Capitalism strikes again! All the good generative AI could and does sometimes do but some capitalist made an email sound less like a soulless, corporate turd and it was to the moon with whatever state the tech was at! Rich people have no creativity, imagination, or understanding of the tech. They’re always looking for ways to remove labor costs and make those phat stacks! We could have used generative AI to handle a lot of the shitty, mundane stuff at a faster rate, but no they chose to replace the artists’ creations so they didn’t have to pay for the cost of labor.
