I kind of have a hard time imagining such a thing being done with sincerely good intentions, how many people would really do that? Easy to imagine it as a way to exercise power over someone with a plausible pretense though.

Just imagine a world in which the only products manufactured are exclusively chasing the dollars of wealthy investors. So like yachts, custom giant statues, kill drone perimeters, etc.

11 degrees cooler is pretty good for a non-enclosed space without any forced air. Big fan of this technology, my swamp cooler only starts to struggle in 100+ temperatures, the electricity use is next to nothing compared to AC, and it’s a really simple machine to maintain and repair, like this video shows the core mechanism is just a small water pump.

Competing standards/conventions for tagging posts, supposedly

I also don’t know the full context but from what I’ve heard a big part of the issue is that on Mastodon (which is more twitter style) there isn’t a good universal way to tag and filter nsfw content, which means people who want to see it and people who do not can’t both get what they want in the same spaces.

Surely they have already been doing this

Proliferation of wifi routers does not necessarily mean there is a convenient central repository of their data, but I do see the risk

Wow thats great

You would need full coverage for that to work on its own, because as soon as you leave its range there’s ambiguity again about who the person being sensed is. Just disabling the camera probably would help in places where they aren’t dense enough for that.

I already committed to never giving EA money years ago but maybe this can get some more people in on that

This makes much more sense thanks

Isn’t it implied to be some kind of digital currency? Maybe it’s like accepting Paypal where Paypal can decide to make you jump through hoops to access your money or cut off your access entirely for seemingly arbitrary reasons.

…As an alternative to a streaming based solution. Given the context OP was not talking about just installing jellyfin, the fair comparison would be everything required to make it work.

Really creepy

Nofap propaganda mastermind strikes again

Used laptops on ebay are still decently cheap if price is the issue, lots of stuff in the $50-100 range

Looking at https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/ it looks like they only have categories for desktop, tablet, mobile, so presumably laptops are included

I actually like it when games do that sort of thing, keeps you on your toes, shoutout to Backpack Battles

We’ll get there

This is referenced in the alt text, I looked it up:

Yet when asked exactly that in a March 2022 podcast with Tyler Cowen, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) was quite willing to play that game–and keep playing it, over and over again. Cowen asked SBF about the high likelihood of destroying everything by going double of nothing on a series of coin flips. SBF responded that he was willing to make this trade-off for the possibility of coin-flipping his way into “an enormously valuable existence.”

Fortunate that he went bust on only a few billion worth of stolen money and not the fate of humanity, though the same can’t be said for the rest of the delusionally arrogant megalomaniacs running things
