Low birth rates are only problematic to carcinogenic ideologies.

Capitalism: I refuse to develop my sociopathy to the level required to participate.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

I’ve never allowed my TV to have an active route to the internet since I bought it in 2019, it’s exclusively fed over HDMI by gaming consoles and an Apple TV.

The thing is, HDMI 1.4 added HEC, so what’s to prevent media players from serving as an Ethernet switch and providing an internet connection to TVs.

Wireless data transmission should only ever be used for nomadic, temporary, and/or sacrificial links.

They’re useful for quick deployment, but are intrinsically brittle and terrible for resiliency and efficiency.

The longer the dependence on them for a given use case, the less defensible arguments in support of them become.

I’m all for the use of satellite delivery of internet services, but only when it’s used in conjunction with a broader roll out of hardwired infrastructure, at which point it can reasonably be relegated to serving as a secondary, backup diverse path.

A healthy, broadly educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

They need everyone to be sick, stupid, and scared.

After the ‘Gulf of America’ aneurysm, I’m surprised the EOs mandating English as the exclusive language to be used didn’t specify you had to use ‘American’.

Advertising needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.

It arbitrary pollutes any environment it’s conducted in, and causes secondary harms to non-participants by incentivising insecure hoarding of private information with the intent to better target individuals.

It’s almost like granting a supreme veto to a single, wholly imaginary ideology, and positioning it as a monoculture for how society values activities and production, is problematic.

We apparently did away with it once before through the separation of church and state, maybe it’s time to force the separation of bank and state.

Anyone who is eligible to vote, and chooses not to, implicitly throws their support behind whoever wins.

On 2024-11-05, ⅔ of US citizens who were eligible to vote told the rest of the world they don’t want to be taken seriously for at least 2 years.

Either she knows something novel, where processing data using voice coils is somehow beneficial, or is someone who calls their computer a ‘hard drive’, which summarily negates any legitimacy of technical competence.

Any meaningful suppression or removal of ideological bias is an ideological bias.

I propose a necessary precursor to the development of artificial intelligence is the discovery and identification of a natural instance.

Akin to Putin invading Ukraine, the tariffs aren’t a trade war, they’re a Stupid Economic Operation.

All billionaires should be required to prove they’re not made of cake.

It’s a Sony 65” 2019 4K LCD panel.

2160p registers ~200W, 1080p ~100W.

The measured 2160p feed is from a 2017 Apple TV 4K, 1080p from a docked Nintendo Switch.

I’m in Australia, so my perspective may be skewed. The trailer would be optional, and I only mentioned it as the system as proposed could be just an extension of the self contained removable battery in a vehicle.

Unless batteries can become tremendously lighter, I see a standardised, swappable EV battery a given as a means to further increase vehicle efficiency. Why lug around hundreds of km of range when the distance between typical charging points is a fraction of that.

The batteries are what make EVs heavier compared to ICE vehicles, and the majority of trips don’t call for anything close to their peak range.

Installing a fraction of the capacity as a static battery would reduce weight for shorter trips, also extending the typical range.

Removable batteries could be installed in a standard cavity in the undercarriage, or in the regular cargo space, it just needs an electrical connection to the rest of the system.

Fast charging is also a problem, as it disproportionately affects the performance and longevity of the batteries. Swapping batteries would permit charging them at a more leisurely and manageable rate.

• My TV’s power consumption is basically doubled when the input is running at 2160p compared to 1080p.
• Running the portable AC in my office for more than 24 hours causes it to cycle off and on because the humidity collection sump fills up and needs to be emptied (it throws a completely unhelpful error of ‘Low Temperature’).
