No rocket pop? No pushup? This list is incomplete.

Probably still get you shot by the cops.

In China they probably would execute him.

So that means PC component prices will fall, right?

Right?

Sounds like more ways for insurance companies to a) charge you more based on behaviors they arbitrarily determine are “bad”, and b) take your payments for years/decades then never pay out because they say something you did on video makes any accident your fault based on some term buried in the 500 page contract you obviously didn’t read all of.

They already do “a” by taking vehicle blackbox info uploaded by dealers or via telemetry and increasing your rate via their risk analysis. Note, your rates never go down for good driving. Only up.

Yeah, didn’t want to get too deep in the weeds about it, but FreeCAD is definitely an example. I feel like I’m using a perpetually unfinished decade-old program. While it certainly qualifies as one of those older free packages it never really took off.

Part of the problem is the Big Software crushing any hobbyist software. I used to be big into 3D design. 20 years ago there were dozens and dozens of different programs of different quality available to people wanting to do 3D design, along with top tier programs like 3DSMax and Maya, and even they had “learning editions” with stripped down features for free non-professional use.

Now? Most all 3D design software is proprietary, subscription-based, and stupid expensive. Very, very few programs are available to anyone wanting to do hobby work or learn, and plenty of them are “freemium” with better features paywalled.

Point being, choice has been restricted or eliminated. 20 years ago there was a lot more to choose from both skill and price-wise. Now it’s $200/month/seat, or a couple paywalled freemium programs.

Ugh. Went to look for the scene and get this. Fuck youtube. I’m not signing in.

E: and for the record “protecting my community” would be blocking people telling objective lies. But there’s no shortage of those on youtube.

Yes please. I despise the trend to put everything in video format that seems to constitute “discussion” these days, along with a crappy comments section full of trolls, trash talkers, and “experts”.

Someone’s text description with a half dozen crappy photos is often 10x better than some 2-3 people having a BS session over a 15 minute video (like and subscribe!) to do 5 minutes of actual work on the subject you’re interested in.

Forum mods generally kept discussion on track, reeled in people who were deviating too far or kicked out trolls and assholes, and forums dedicated to a subject were a wealth of knowledge and attracted experts and experience.

Sure, there’s a few of those places left, and probably even a few /r/ that might have actual decent content and mods, but those tend to be the exception and not the rule.

Ok, how will they be less harmful, seeing as you’re so insistent on that premise.

The heat from something like a datacenter will be far more localized and could damage the immediate area. I’m not saying they’ll magically warm the entire ocean any more than they would on land dumping waste heat into the atmosphere, but local temperature changes could have an effect.

I’m far more concerned with the suggested floating datacenters. Just dumping more waste heat into the ocean. WCGW.

That’ll happen when they turn over some piece of critical infrastructure or something over to AI. Power, stock market, something that will affect tens or hundreds of millions of people and wreck lives or even kill people.

Nonetheless these clowns will push for it because profit, and some fool politicians will OK it because campaign money.

No we shouldn’t. Imagine where the taxes would go, and then understand where people would make sure they didn’t go. A shitload of people are racist, self serving, and shortsighted.

But are you tubgirl old?

You skip past the part where lots of software doesn’t work on linux, or there are tons of hoops to jump through to get it to work, and once it’s working it can be broken by an update or upgrade. And no, not everything everyone uses has a 1:1 Linux equivalent.

What works on linux works great. No complaints there.

They’re working on it.
