horrible crime.

Are turning to Linux and proton because the compatibility with Windows 11 has gotten so bad for older games

I would totally support a ban on activities that alter climate or weather on a global scale. Like, for example, increasing the CO2 content of the atmosphere. Shall we start enforcing it?

We're already changing the climate. If we're not going to ban all geoengineering, it doesn't make sense to ban only the carefully thought out interventions that have a chance of helping, while continuing to allow the ones we know are catastrophically harmful.

We will all go together when we go...

Is watching the, don't tell me how to raise my child, crowd screaming for shit like this.

I didn't particularly care if my kid looked at internet porn and they turned out just fine. I also sat them down and made sure they understood how to handle sex so I didn't have to worry about grandchildren coming out of nowhere.

That's how I raised my kid and I don't particularly like my government butting in on that. Never mind the hundreds of other reasons not to allow the government to directly censor the internet this way.

I mean but our entire civilization is collapsing so... What pisses me off is that all it took was scaring a handful of midwesterners with the prospect of their kids turning queer and the threat of them getting fired from their jobs if they drink a few too many beers and drop an n-bomb in public... Two incredibly stupid moral panics and that's it it's over.

I mean we got a lot of mileage out of Mortal Kombat and heavy metal music but damn, compare to that modern mortal panics are crazy

From the press:

"plays piano acceptably".

Of course there are constraints. But they can address them with other constraints, for example they could permit high power use only during times of high solar production. Their central control makes it feasible. Or they could just tell other users to f off when they want to do some training.

That, and that they are or were also arcades, should be enough.

We have had numerous discussions about this franchise on Slashdot in the past.

Only criminals and terrorists would use a VPN. What a horrible time, theyshould try those teenagers as adults.

You're not part of that 60%. You had a long successful life, or at least a very short very very successful life.

You represent the top 10% of the economy. The problem is people are bad at math so they don't understand that having a few million bucks in an account and some social security and some kind of pension means that they're in that 10%. Everybody thinks being in the top 10% means you're a Rockefeller.

Good luck with your diagnosis. Cancer sucks.

That's people with full-time jobs and no homes.

We have had 50 years of non-stop automation mostly in factories and we're about to do that same thing to White collar work.

The ruling class are dependent on consumers to maintain their wealth and power and they damn well know it and they damn well don't like it.

Guys like Peter thiel and Elon Musk are hard at work, I mean as hard as any of those fuckers ever work, to create a techno-feudal hellscape where they continue to be God Kings and the rest of us live in the kind of poverty that's 75% of the world lives in today.

I think it's too miserable and unpleasant a thing for anyone around here to be willing to think about. The idea that Civilization does not progress on a line and does not always improve.

The scary thing about it is that unlike when the Roman empire collapses I don't think there's any way out of the techno feudalism that's being planned here.

There are 8 billion people on this planet. Mathematically life is actually worse.

We have more than enough of everything but we also still have a ruling class and without the constant threat of death by starvation you can't really maintain a ruling class.

And because we grew up with a ruling class we don't want to let it go because it was there when we were 12 so it better be there when we're 60 fucking five.

Of course you're also ignoring the fact that our civilization does not need to continue to progress. There's absolutely no reason why things can't go back to just as terrible as they were for 99% instead of one quarter living well.

I think it's safe to say the techno feudal hellscape that guys like Peter thiel are planning for you is going to look a lot like those dark ages you're thinking of. But hey you're an old fart right? You'll be dead before it happens probably. Probably.

You, sir, are the one who are lying, or at best cannot read. It says right there they're looking for graduates, not experienced workers They could get the same information they will get from them by training on the course materials.

He is 0wning our country. There is nothing more important going on in the USA than the Cheeto Benito presidency. But you know what's really crazy about this Trump shit? Epstein didn't kill himself.
