I can’t believe I’m cheering for Sweeney even once, but I guess it works out for all of us in this case.

Praise be unto RA, destroyer of Brands!

Spawncamping, not sure how that’d work here though.

my favorite part about reading the relevant Wikipedia article is the libertarian magazine claiming the islands were “more or less reclaimed by the sea”. As if the people already there weren’t people but fish or something. For those curious: Here is the Wikipedia article

That would the coolest shit imaginable. I’m surprised nobody has tried making a FOSS ecosystem for the DS, considering how often users have hacked it. All I’m saying is, I wish a company would come alone and make a DS like system with modern resolution and cameras. It might do pretty well.

This is a defeatist take and while the answer isn’t a super simple “just tell people to not order out and cook more” we can definitely do more to help people stop relying on eating out and fast food.

The lock-downs definitely aren’t at fault for doordash and ubereats, they were there and gaining traction before covid was discovered.

I kinda wonder where the down-votes are coming from? It seems unrealistic to assume half of all currently using people will stop using facebook, youtube, and snapchat within 2 years. As much as I’d like to assume otherwise I feel like that’s farfetched even with the study posted.

Facebook is one of the social media sites banned by the Chinese government. I’m not saying they don’t use it anyway, but for what it’s worth the last time I checked it was also banned.

This is not the age where unions have any effective impact

I don’t know, the UAW looks like it’s having plenty of impact to me. As a matter of fact, unions are looking pretty strong at the moment. But to be honest, you weren’t here to argue in good faith, you made that especially clear with your last sentence.

Even the best laid plans go awry though. The point is even if they pragmatically design it to not kill indiscriminately, bugs and glitches happen. The technology isn’t all the way there yet and putting the ability to kill in the machine body of something that cannot understand context is a terrible idea. It’s not that the military wants to indiscriminately kill everything, it’s that they can’t possibly plan for problems in the code they haven’t encountered yet.

Idk why this was downvoted, this is pretty obvious sarcasm.

I always thought sci-fi uniforms were really cool, could you imagine congress in like, mass effect alliance uniforms? that would be cool as fuck.

of course, that might also be because I find business attire to be boring as fuck. So maybe most things look cool in comparison.

The jaws look would be so cool but imagine if you accidentally bit your cheek while chewing gum or something.

Honestly? Not the worst way to go out.

From what I gather here in the comments, they use the sim cards to make the bots look like they’re actually posting from where the farm is located, since using a VPN would not be sufficient to hide their tracks.

Could you explain more about IBM? I’m not as tech literate and I’ve been barely keeping up with the conversations about federation and EEE, what’s going on with IBM?
