Dumbest idea in here.

Dude read the Culture series, took all the wrong lessons from it and is speedrunning that horrible vision for a sorcery in his own mind.

Iceland has the luxury of not being able to eliminate the global economic landscape with one big mistake. No one here is happy with the bank bailout, but it was the only realistic option available.

Journalism’s not dead. The fact of the matter is that people don’t want to read journalism, they want propaganda and tabloid; if this wasn’t true ProPublica would have the readership that the Sun does.

Not true at all. Every well-conducted and reliable poll matters, because it determines where campaign money will be spent, where volunteers will be directed, what stops candidates make, and what issues to press on and which to pivot back to stump on.

Pretty dumb myopic take you have there, actually.

PC running OPNsense and a Ruckus AP.

Pick up a rifle or fuck off with your slactivist nonsense.

We’re a few major breakthroughs away

We are dozens of world-changing breakthroughs in the understanding of consciousness, sapience, sentience, and even more in computer and electrical engineering away from being able to even understand what the final product of an AGI development program would look like.

We are not anywhere near close to AGI.

Yup, AGI is terrifying; luckily it’s a few centuries off. The parlor-trick text predictor we have now is just bad for the environment and the economy.

Have you ever wondered why you couldn’t eject a drive without rebooting? It’s not like it’s going to tell you what process is keeping it locked

Windows PowerToys has had this as a function for a long as I can remember. Before that there were programs which existed only to tell you what process was keeping a folder or drive open. On Linux lsof can do this for you.

I think that remuneration comes in the form of cigars and champagne.

Seems reasonable.

Nah, guns are cool and fun.

This is barn cat erasure.

Neat idea, Supremacy Clause goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr though. This doesn’t stop until the left has power at the federal level or something more dramatic takes place.

what?

If you really think most people are up to using a password manager, you live in a bubble.

Being sexually harassed by two people who refuse to respect boundaries while peers, friends, and school administrators look on and laugh was the “comically terrible” situation in 2006. Given the content of this meme, nothing has changed; which, in itself, is a sad statement about our society.

Well that’s some FUD nonsense to excuse laziness.

Oh, that’s fine; I’ve been wrong before, too.
