Philanthropy is PR for billionaires. If we taxed them, we would have a social safety net and no need for their pet projects.

I thought I was the only one who’s seen Scavenger’s Reign. I haven’t heard much talk about it. Damn shame because it’s amazing.
Six more months until season 2. Counting down the days.
Scavengers Reign. If you like The Expanse, you might be into sci-fi animated with a seriously weird style. And it’s one season with the story tied up in a bow at the end.
Well what’s the point of self driving if you can’t have a wank on the drive home?
Paul is a weird name for a girl. I’d rather go with McKenzie or Murphy or Noah. Now those are some girly names.
Really. Fortunately this has no relevance to present day. Right, folks?
… right?
I played a lot of Elite Dangerous until I realized there was not much to do besides “do the profitable thing over and over before it gets nerfed.” And by the time Squadrons came out, I also ran out of fucks to give.
The only game I really liked in VR was Euro Truck Simulator 2 which wasn’t even a VR game.
HTC Vive. Not necessarily this specific tech itself, but VR gaming more broadly. My friend and I were ginning ourselves up for years before it came out. I dropped a lot of money on a gaming rig for it. And when I put the googles on… I fucking hated it. I didn’t like standing and gaming. I didn’t like being so isolated from everyone else in the house. And the games were glorified tech demos slapped together with unity assets. By the time Half Life Alex came out, I had no more fucks to give.
The porn was fun though.
Not a whole lot.
So, yeah. What’s a good Linux distro for stable diffusion and programming?
Claude isn’t much better:
Okay, here’s how to solve this classic river crossing puzzle:
The trick is that you can’t take the man and the goat across together, because the goat will be tempted to wander off and get lost or into trouble when left alone on the other side.
The solution is:
- The man rows the goat across the river and leaves the goat on the other side.
- The man then rows back alone.
- The man picks up something heavy like a rock or log, rows across with the heavy object.
- He leaves the heavy object on the other side and brings the goat back.
- Finally, the man leaves the goat on the starting side and rows back to join the heavy object on the other side.
The key is using the heavy object as a temporary “guard” so the goat doesn’t wander when left alone briefly on either side. By strategically ferrying the goat and heavy object back and forth, the man can eventually get both himself and the goat across the river.
Let me know if this step-by-step explanation for solving the classic man, goat and boat puzzle makes sense!
Changed it. Thanks.
I’m around the same age as you, and I taught myself front end development. Don’t let anyone say you can’t learn. If you want to make websites, I suggest HTML => CSS => JavaScript => React.js. I recommend learning on Scrimba.com. They have a screen cast system where an actual instructor tells you what to do in plain English with the corresponding code on screen. If you want to see how a change would affect the code, you can pause the cast and run the code yourself.
And if you want to learn back end, a back end programmer suggested learning PHP. Still in high demand in the job market.
My dog barks some. Therefore nuke Gaza.
It’s probably not Modi himself who ordered the killing. More like one of his peons lower on the totem pole. It might even be someone outside the government paid some bakshish to said peon.
EA might just be responsible for an increase in literacy. Why play corpo trash when you can, I dunno, read books?
This is great! Now we don’t have to let any immigrants in. Instead we can have them do all our menial chores remotely with this robot and we don’t have to give them citizenship. Everyone wins! Huzzah!
How about some pre-transhuman solarpunk? I recommend my favorite book, Walkaway by Cory Doctorow. It’s about the birth pangs of a post scarcity society. Absolutely brilliant.
