The specific model is rechargeable, unless I’m misunderstanding you.

Has he actually given up on the Metaverse thing at this point?

I’m pretty sure the trend didn’t come from nowhere, although like every other fashion most adherents wouldn’t have necessarily chosen it in a vacuum.

Whether that makes the preference less valid is an interesting question of it’s own.

(and you need to understand that every tipping point is just an arbitrary line that climate scientists draw to try to draw people’s attention to the problem)

No, it’s really not.

The typical Lemming will be poorer but fine, unless it triggers other human disasters like a nuclear exchange. The lower classes of Bangladesh, less so, and 95%+ of coral reefs are fucked.

Sort of? I don’t think he mentioned tipping points anywhere in there, it was pretty non-specific and ranty, but if we’ve passed a tipping point it becomes less a matter of applying a brake and more of actively causing massive climate change in the other direction. Failing that, the warming trend and other shifts will stop when the Earth reaches a new balance and no sooner.

Nobody really knows where those tipping points are. The Paris thresholds were our expert’s best guesses for a “safe” amount of warming.

It’s pretty impossible not to be tangentially connected with someone bad somewhere. Unless I have reasonable grounds to think the production of something was directly unethical I can’t and don’t worry about it.

For example, if you buy a thing from a poor country, there’s a chance a slave made it, but a greater chance it was part of somebody’s ticket out of rural poverty, and there’s no way to tell. On the other hand, meat is always meat (unless it’s lab-grown I guess, but that technology doesn’t work very well to date).

I’d have no problem if someone did me, for the record. Seems only incrementally different from mental imagery or writing a fanfic.

At this point I’m clearly in a minority, though.

These are all Eastern European software developers, per the article.

Yep, I’m slightly upset. Does he actually think something worthwhile is going to come out of the negotiations?

I mean, it’s not really a new problem, although it’s just been ordinary health issues rather than AI.

Usually disability has been addressed very poorly, though.

Yeah, this seems pretty performative.

Hmm, looks like this does include Dwarf Fortress. (KitFox is in Montreal, but Tarn Adams spent a couple decades working on it in Seattle)

Does it make sense to buy it on sale, if paying for a thing that I’ve played a ton of already is the point?

It sure seemed like one, yeah. One unusual thing is that there was apparently a Discord channel with multiple marks in it at once.

I like how Nichole’s last message to Lemmy was just a bunch of crypto wallets and some lame, one-sentence excuse for why we should fill them.

From overcharging just a little bit for everything, collaboratively. (In that case)

That’s why they’re doing so well.

Canadian grocery stocks have been going up like absolute gangbusters lately.

If we had competition, the prices would get run down anyway by people trying to expand their market share.

If.

I might actually prefer winter all year if it wasn’t for that pesky “growing food” thing.

It’s both.
