  • America continues to fall behind the rest of the world

    Jump

  • That is the most dystopian American-sounding thing I've heard all day, especially considering the source.

    In this context I expect that "Economic Freedom" means "unregulated, social darwinist, robber baron playground, law of the jungle laissez-faire capitalism."

  • County With 37 Data Centers Asks Schools to ‘Conserve Electricity’

    Jump

  • I wonder if there's any chance of all the tech speculation helping to fund electrical grid upgrades (including grid scale storage for renewables) that actually benefit regular human society after the bubble pops.

  • Support the space program

    Jump

  • Absolutely. I think many people would actually be surprised at how big regular old goldfish can get in a pond with adequate space, food, and water quality.

    On top of being in the carp family, they can actually produce hybrid offspring with carp (koi), though I think those offspring are sterile.

    Source: have koi pond. Have given away dozens of chonky goldfish to other pond people.

  • It's everywhere

    Jump

  • Yeah! I was already concerned that people's eyes would glaze over and they'd skim the latter 3/4 of my message and miss some important connected dots.

    Now we've all been trained to detect and reject AI slop for a couple years, so the whole "here's the whole situation described in a single message" strategy is right out the window.

    I even like using em dashes sometimes. :/

    At least I don't use emojis in place of bullet points. The more you know. ✨

  • Trump Appears To Doze Off Once Again And, Oh, The White House Denial

    Jump

  • I thought this same thing.

    The cherry on top will be the medical examiner afterward pointing out that he could have been saved if medics took swift action instead of everybody in the room pretending to not notice he was "asleep" again.

  • Lenovo Warns PC RAM Prices Will "Never" Go Back to Normal

    Jump

  • The trump administration has determined that it is critical to national security that americans play all new games at medium graphics settings or lower.

  • Rate grandma's setup

    Jump

  • Lookin' good!

    No joke though, I currently have my sewing machine sitting in front of the secondary PC in our family room. I have found sewing to be up there with other non-tech hobbies like building things with wood, digging in the dirt, and taking care if my animals as far as brain health and sensory satisfaction.

    I'm a middle aged cishet dad of a boy, too. I just bought the thing last year for some fun crafty projects we had in mind.

  • courier transform

    Jump

  • or, no one in charge wants to pay to package properly.

  • Streaming services’ obnoxiously loud ads become illegal on July 1 in California

    Jump

  • legal, deliberately stressing you to get your attention shouldn't be.

    I'm thinking of a couple of entire industries that could be banned or destroyed to help people's brains.

  • What TV shows are absolutely worth watching?

    Jump

  • Micron locks in historically high memory prices for five years

    Jump

  • I wonder if anybody has told Micron about what happens when customers sign a contract but then declare bankruptcy shortly after.

  • The right is the best advertisement leftism ever had

    Jump

  • I can't help but wonder if that actually used to be true, but it was because of more accumulated lead exposure over time rather than aging over time.

    I'm an old white guy born into conservative religious america, and my entire adult life has been spent sliding to the left as I observe the left being correct and giving a shit about people while the right continues to be disingenuous and destructive and greedy.

  • Demon slayer

    Jump

  • Looking at that kind smile, I feel like if I can just get some exorcism of my demons from her while getting my mental health treated by counselor Troi, I can finally get my life together.

  • Horror story

    Jump

  • I dunno, that might be some immensely relieving news to hear, that all this is not true reality.

  • The Tokenpocalypse Is Here: Companies Are Scrambling To Stop Spending So Much on AI | Leaked audio from Accenture says a big source of AI token ‘chewing’ is people just converting PDFs to presentatio…

    Jump

  • Ooh, I think I'll start using CoPilot to do basic math and unit conversions in addition to doing them the correct way. Then I can note in my goals & reviews how I have been utilizing the AI resource and keeping tabs on its advancement.

  • The Tokenpocalypse Is Here: Companies Are Scrambling To Stop Spending So Much on AI | Leaked audio from Accenture says a big source of AI token ‘chewing’ is people just converting PDFs to presentatio…

    Jump

  • Seriously. A human workforce could never dream of being capable of the same insatiable greed as the gigacorps trying to sell AI.

  • If Phones Are Killing Pedestrians, Why Is It Only Happening in America?

    Jump

  • I wonder what the deaths per pedestrian mile stat is for America vs the rest of the world. I would expect it it be even more terrifying. Ouside cities I am used to pedestrians being an extremely rare sight unless in a parking lot.

  • I really don't get the anti AC fraction

    Jump

  • Ah yes, the workplace version of "it's not cheating if they put it in the game!"

  • Elon Musk's father says too many americans are not white

    Jump

  • I'm of the opinion that a lot of people if not most arguably don't really make a choice about who they are. They don't live with intentionality, they don't consider their agency, they just run on autopilot with the baseline personhood they were built with.

    I think you are spot-on with this, and that it very much includes many "successful" people who others automatically assume they should try to emulate. It's especially bad here in the US.
