The lever can reduce the speed of the trolley depending on which way you turn it, but regardless the trolley will gradually accelerate either way.

Still playing Silksong… why did they launch now…

There are a couple supervillains.

Everyone here is either on the side of hating big AI companies or hating IP law. I proudly hate both.

that’s very pragmatic, but you can also flip this around – almonds are a luxury compared to other more practical foods, whereas LLMs can help a coder net an income if used properly. I don’t think you can justify almonds if you’re going to claim AI usage is unethical on purely environmental grounds. And dairy milk is twice as much as almond milk in terms of water, so if you have dairy in your diet, cutting that out is going to be a lot more effective for reducing your water footprint than not using LLMs.

Anyway, check out the third link for more info on the total water usage of data centers; it doesn’t really add up to much compared to much larger things like golf courses. I don’t get why anyone would use water usage as a reason to agitate against AI for given that there are so many worse problems AI is causing.

But remember, one almond uses at least as much water as two requests to ChatGPT (sources: almonds, queries, data centers), so if you’re eating almonds at all then you’re being inconsistent.

Cute but this wouldn’t work for this obvious reason – conservatives would be like, “sure buddy. If you say so.”

OTOH, we made the rainbow work so… I guess?

God’s rainbow has 7 colors (ROY G BIV), the LGBT rainbow has 6. Guy doesn’t even know rainbows.

Well that’s why I said “instead we have, uh…” and a frowny face. It was sarcasm, but I guess it didn’t come through.

I still don’t get it. Who doesn’t have hitler symbols? Why is that relevant?

I don’t know what that slang means.

didn’t realize until just this moment that Rise Against ≠ Rage Against The Machine

Before those, in the 60’s there was CSNY, CCR, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Buffalo Springfield writing protest bangers.

Can’t really think of much for this generation unfortunately. Instead we have, uh… Ye. :(

OP wasn’t asking about classics, was asking about protest music

US Green Card

The image clearly says Extraordinary Ability Green Card (EB1-A). This is not a standard green card.

They are For-profit

Reminder that FOSS is compatible with commercial licenses.

That is not to say /e/ is FOSS. But given the reality of the capitalist hellscape we live in, we should not shame developers (FOSS or not) for not opting to work for free.

Hell yeah.

damn, I’m so happy that this is the takeaway message people are getting.

they drove emulator developer Near/Byuu to suicide. That’s someone who created BSNES / Higan (the first fully-accurate snes emulator), and helped with the fan translations for many games including mother 3.

If the world goes to shit but Kiwi Farms is destroyed, I will have a moticum of warmth in my blood.
