The issue is, the "wisdom" isn't "don't worry about personal emissions", it's "take voting extremely seriously. Become a single issue voter, that issue should be climate"

But there's a psychological thing where people take the discount today and the payment later.

Yet another reason PC is superior.

I remember thinking this in 2005 odd. I said something to the effect of "If you think Climate Change doesn't exist, start an insurance company" Unfortunately, turns out all insurance companies weren't really pricing in climate...

Not a premium user but Youtube has poisoned its own waters with its algorithm. You can see the "top" content basically gaming that algorithm as well as it can. Literally every part of it from the title to the thumbnail to the content itself is hollow except for the skinner box.

It's a pretty tepid way of thinking about the issue to be honest. In a strategic sense, basically any move Microsoft is forced to make for actual (rather than apparent) security makes it harder for them to do things in a way which creates lock-in. Yes, they will use it to push for DRM, as another commenter noted, but that's another apparent security solution. In the long term, this is a positive, but it's not an immediate and direct benefit, as the blog post notes.

I don't understand it, not Trump (who is the mechanism), but the entire conservative establishment. Like they have to know that they, and probably the capitalist system they've set up, has about 10 maybe 20 years left if they push in this direction (forget the "selfless" act of humans continuing to live on this planet). Do they really expect to be better off living like this? Or are they so far up their own arseholes that they can't see what's going to happen here?

Err that name sounds a bit unfortunate.

I have the kk3. Wins for not needing an app and also firmware upgrades via just a file upload to the controller as USB Mass storage.

The buttons are "classic" not micro switch. Some prefer the latter.

Man these guys should try putting more effort into making the game rather than harrassing their employees.

[–] dillekant@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 month ago

My main issue with it is that everyone is using it to push their own narrative about why the game failed. People doing the "It's a woke game, so it went broke", or "it's a saturated market", or whatever. These are just reactions, not data driven analyses.

You have a better plan?

 

Dankpods moving to Linux confirmed. Shit just got real boys!

 

Waiting for it to be available in walk-in stores at a decent price, but it looks Solarpunk AF.

 

Amazing talk by Prof. Steve Keen. The original Unlearning Economics ;)

 

OK I haven't seen the whole thing yet but I'm at the point of the video where I think she's going to say "Solarpunk" and I'm excite!

 

I know most Solarpunks already know about Andrew Millison from his permaculture work, but his new videos are both awesome and very solarpunk vibes, simple solutions for big problems.

 

I like it, it's a good movie, and I want to make the (maybe hot take argument) that this is solarpunk!

Thoughts?

 

Seriously fuckcars you need to hear this. Have we been fighting for the wrong side the whole time/???

 

Hi guys, I just wanted to call out an inappropriate term I've seen used sometimes: Civil Disobedience. It's not just civil disobedience when you pirate something privately, you need to do it publicly and dare the authorities to do something about it.

So an example here would be to set up a massive leech party and advertise it specifically as civil disobedience. Say all manner of things from all manner of copyright holders would be transmitted, and try and get news coverage. That's civil disobedience.

Just downloading a movie because you want to watch it is not. OK thanks for your time.

 

New TTT just dropped. Sorry I know I keep sharing Youtube videos I'm probably just Basic like that.

 

Alice Cappelle generally tackles social issues, and here she shares the idea that school under capitalism is seen as transactional, and therefore this results in teachers being disrespected, which stymies education.

 

Whenever I feel sad I just think the words "Rozelle Interchange" and my life gets a little bit better...

 

OK so I came up with a slightly crazy idea. Do you know how cars are emblazoned with logos and emblems? Like the brand name (Toyota), the car name (Kluger), engine and other doodads (V6 etc etc). What if we made like jokey versions of these to replace on our cars? Like make a Toyota logo but it looks a bit more like a penis.

Instead of car doodads we just make up acronyms with no explanation (AR-X, BFI, MIG-TL). We could also have unfortunate acronyms with explanatory text below it, like "AIDS" and then in smaller text it would say "Advanced Infra-red Drive System".

If enough people do it to their cars then it will show that we don't respect them.
