Uber effectively weaseled their way into the taxi industry by somehow enticing drivers to work for them while also assuming all of the liabilities. Truly, capitalism at its finest.

This is very, very bad for the future outlook of our country. It’s real, we’re in it. Something significant is going to have to change soon.

Making people in society feel like they own nothing and are getting milked by those few who do own everything is a good way to see things break down, it’s happening real time, we’re watching it right now in the US.

I love America for being so strong to allow us to burn the American flag in public as protected free speech which many other countries do not allow. Not legal in Israel, Iran, Ukraine, China, or Russia. I’m grateful my country is green in this case.

Russia has been conducting strikes for over a year inside of Ukraine. It’s only fair that Ukraine can conduct strikes inside of Russia. Putin has done more to strengthen NATO than any other country’s leader in decades.

we should be blaming the way we produce electricity

I’m also referring to emissions, just redirecting focus about HOW electricity is produced. Also, AI is not pointless, that’s a bad claim. You have a comprehension issue.

the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights

This comparison is bad. Commercial flights don’t use electricity, they use jet fuel, pumping fumes directly into the atmosphere. I don’t see a single complaint about HOW electricity is produced. I just read about how there’s too much solar power in California. A serious disconnect in the logic blaming AI for pollution when we should be blaming the way we produce electricity.

Hm, strange. I wonder if there’s anything we can do about it?

Do you mean that energy having no cost would mean that the electricity generated can be used to make algae?

Yes. Make algae with energy that produces no carbon dioxide = carbon sink.

Fuck that title. No such thing as too many solar panels. The only thing that is bad is how the energy is used or if it’s wasted. Free energy should mean algae production which would mean carbon negativity. Negative energy price should mean negative carbon emissions, get on it.

This is a part of the beginning of it. Centralization results in layoffs and worse products. This is why we have antitrust laws, now they go unenforced because of corruption. AI is going to replace a lot of jobs and we’re going to get shittier products while the winning corporations continue to make more money. Winner take all system is bad for everyone.

Whataboutism. Comparing the situation between Israel and Palestine to North Korea isn’t smart. And you say what “we’ve” done to Palestinians, I haven’t done anything to them, I didn’t vote for any of that shit.

North Korea is such a let down for humanity, a sad disappointment. They’d be so much better off if they worked together with the world. I firmly believe the US military has a complete view of their imports/exports through spy satellites.

Ugh, as if we don’t have enough of this kind of game already. SMITE 2 and Marvel Rivals are coming soon. Valve for fucks sake, look at how well Half Life: Alyx did. I seriously hope they’re working on a future Half Life game or some new story driven style game at the very least. I’m calling it now, Deadlock is going to be another Artifact.

I tried switching to Wayland on Mint, it did not go well. Unfortunately I do not care to follow an hour long guide to figure out how to get it to run games properly.

Just move the factory to China. 🤡

Where are these protesters against all the coal power plants in Germany? Probably enjoying the warmth of their cozy houses in winter.

He doesn’t need to thank us, he deserves our thanks for fighting against fascism. Some of the best money the US has ever spent. Now, redirect all money from Israel to Ukraine.

How else do you propose storing energy?

This is actually what the Nazis did during WW2. Russia is a fascist dictatorship.
