I never got the motivation this “otherwise benevolent superintelligence” would have to behave like this. There seems to be absolutely no benefit whatsoever that could be derived retroactively punishing people for not working on it (hard enough). Whether or not it does is immaterial to the motivation of those who were convinced it might.

Also, focusing on one possible future scenario and completely ordering your life around it seems, like, dumb.

I mean, didn’t he do that Carlson interview a few days ago? I wouldn’t put it past Trump to pardon him, as long as he keeps on message and drums up some attention.

No? Kinda? I’d say a Pixel (so Google hardware, yeah) with Graphene, and either self-hosted, or independent end-to-end encrypted could storage.

There are alternatives to the tech conglomerates.

There’s quite a few TP-Link Models that can be flashed with open source firmware. The ones I helped friends and family with seemed to get software updates consistently after being discontinued.

This isn’t an all out endorsement, but I’ve certainly seen worse.

What did you do with the school bus?

Rather annoying. You would think that it shouldn’t make a difference whether or not a mounted drive is present in the machine. I run everything I host in containers on a single machine, so I can’t say whether I’d have encountered such issues.

Jellyfin supports audio books too, but I feel that audiobookshelf gives a much neater experience.

Meh, triage. They’ll probably cart you into surgery when you start dying.

Different use case. Look at this.

I’m from a country where uncut is the norm, to the point where it’s unusual to meet a dude that’s cut, and it’s kinda fascinating to see someone being so into it.

Maybe you should move to Europe.

I’d prefer them announcing proper update support.

You’ve made a whole lot of replies, and not a single one in which you explained why exactly you where surprised.

I know you put the person’s name in the description, but if you want genuine answers, you probably shouldn’t expect people to click through someone’s Tiktok until they got their vibe before replying.

He got punched pretty hard once, if I remember correctly. Went pretty well, got a killer look out of it.

Huh, most people just tell me it’s relatable, and that they should probably kick it too. Also, Zuck starting to zuck even more openly seems to have helped with the ones who weren’t quite convinced.

That’s kinda bullshit. Like, yeah, 30 Minutes delay on an ICE Journey aren’t necessarily uncommon, but with distances where the ICE makes sense, they’re usually faster than driving, and a traffic jam underway that delays you by about that isn’t all that unlikely on those distances either.

With more local transport, it usually runs on time for me, and I use it almost daily. Might vary by region, though.

Yeah, OK, my journeys where all around five hours. Double is kinda mad.

I had four long distance ICE journeys in the last two months. Three where thirty minutes late, one was two hours late.

Also had four long distance TGV journeys, of which one was about 20 minutes late, and one was an hour late, though that delay happened in Germany.

Apparently, DB is currently working on the infrastructure, but those renovations haven’t been fully funded, and it looks like the conservatives will get in next.

I was eating something when I made the account. Make a wild guess what it might have been.

I signed up on a smaller instance, and it took them like two weeks to confirm my account. But it does work now.

I dunno. I’m from a country where it isn’t common practice, so it doesn’t really affect me, and I still find it’s fucking weird, and see why people would wanna stop it.

Like, sure, there’s much, much greater injustices in the world, but that’s true for lot’s of injustices, and dealing with them sequentially sorted by impact isn’t going to work very well.
