  • Wages are stagnant and cost of living is ridiculous. Are we headed for a crash?

    Jump

  • No. Things will just get worse.

    Your statement has probably been true since 2008. Maybe longer.

  • Welcome to the Labour police state

    Jump

  • Even on the middle east eye YouTube I'm seeing so many appeals to authority and "it's illegal, simple as. Full stop. Not for debate".

    Not sure if brigading or what but it really worries me how people think.

    It's not like they're stupid, it's like it's uncomfortable for them to think.

  • why are website language switchers in the current language?

    Jump

  • Every time I make a tool like this, I try to wind up any Americans in the company by putting the US flag as English (simplified) and the Union Jack as English

    It's a fun back and forth we have switching it between the two (inevitably someone makes a PR to put it back, and we go on)

  • Do you agree?

    Jump

  • I think we've got to get in at least 10,000

  • According to Pornhub data (yes seriously!) Linux market share in 2024 increased more than 40% relative to 5.1% of all users.

    Jump

  • If they're anything like me, it's the old laptop that you'd install Linux on as an experiment.

    And maybe that laptop was only ah... Semi-retired at the time.

  • Trump considers forcing journalists to reveal sources who leaked Iran report

    Jump

  • "force" in this case means "extort information" or just straight up applied violence, I assume.

  • Canada ‘urgently seeking more information’ on death of Canadian in ICE custody

    Jump

  • Would you accept lies and obfuscation instead?

  • There's a reason why polls say Social Media ranks higher in trust than News today

    Jump

  • I can, but I don't want to because it's disrespectful.

    Also, I think you'd even get thrown out of middle school for saying this one.

  • There's a reason why polls say Social Media ranks higher in trust than News today

    Jump

  • I suspect OP is using it wrong. Usually "the hard R" refers to a really bad "no-no" word.

    Though the phrase has probably become a slight meme due to Linus from LTT getting the phrase's meaning wrong in the same way you guys have, but on a live broadcast.

  • Press da button

    Jump

  • I don't like what people are focusing on.

    I'll change the subject.

    Now I don't like that people are talking about how I bungled some part of the distraction.

    I don't like what people are focusing on.

    Repeat.

  • 8999 BC

    Jump

  • About 300 years after the invention of the bow, which is crazy.

    It meant that the value of archers was really low from a military point of view. Those nerds were useless.

  • 8999 BC

    Jump

  • They may have been mentioned/featured in things that last longer than the bows. Statues, pottery, writing on stone tablets.

    Also I think they find skeletons with flint arrowheads in them sometimes too.

    So it can be pieced together from lots of small, even partial data points.

    But we find new stuff all the time that changes what we thought.

    They found a 4000 year old bagless vacuum cleaner the other day.

    That last one was a joke.

    Jump

  • It's possible. I did it.

  • ‘No Kings’ was biggest protest in U.S. history: data analyst

    Jump

  • Apparently that alt parks account is super weird and q-like.

    They had "140k" members counting protesters (they claim). Seems made up.

    For now I'm sticking with the low-but-verifiable numbers. Otherwise we leave ourselves open to being ignored the next time (on numbers/data).

  • Hundreds of Thousands Form 'Red Line' Around The Hague

    Jump

  • Well, these days who the hell isn't?

  • South Carolina Republican Rep. RJ May distributed hundreds of child porn files under username ‘joebidennnn69’: feds

    Jump

  • If they only get to use their toys in specific cases, they'll pretend it's always that case.

    Right now the key words are "insurrectionist" and "terrorist" and "illegals". They say the keyword, they suddenly get the loopholes.

    It wouldn't be a stretch to say they suspected "illicit" materials just so they could gear up for their hero LARP.

  • For short-term wins I'd go with Neal Asher's "Polity" civilization as at some point in the 20th Century, the AI just decides to take over and become benevolent rulers.

    No societal collapse required.

    But also a higher risk of enslavement by giant sentient crabs. Your call.

  • Agreed, but honestly either is ok. I'd prefer the Minds ruling me to humans too.

    The main thing that would scare me is the Megadeath scenarios from the Idiran war.

    But that seems like a pretty rare thing. Also, they seem to be a lot better at the sex and drugs thing than ST, as well as how they handle crime.

    Coming after these guys is Neal Asher's Polity. It's like Culture "lite", And the robots are a bit less "extra".

  • Reminds me of that tune by the B sharps

    Jump

  • And also that honking/screaming at the car is (even more of) a dick move now.
