  • You can do some remarkably powerful things just by connecting a tank or chest to something and setting it to enable when there's more or less than a certain amount of stuff in the container.

    My first Gleba base looks like someone dropped a bowl of spaghetti. Everyone's an Italian chef the first time they go to Gleba.

    How many times has your Aquilo base blacked out and frozen over?

  • My base only has 500 logic controlled trains, I don't have a problem.

  • I mean, we have some far right nuts. The thing is, the Venn diagram of far right nuts and people who might buy an EV is just two circles.

  • Yeah, the point where companies don't want to run those services at a loss any more is going to be interesting.

  • We’re opening the door to charging for simple Google type searches. I worry that 15 years from now, I’ll have to pay like $1 per question.

    Search engines cost money to run. If you aren't paying for the product, you're being monetized some other way. You're the product that's served up to the real customers - the businesses who buy data and advertising.

    That's why Kagi is a thing even though there's free search engines all over the place - you pay a monthly subscription, and then you are the search engine's customer.

  • The issue isn't the 'never stop working' part, that sucks but isn't illegal. It's the 'stop paying but don't stop working' part that's a problem.

  • Breaks might not be required, but you still aren't allowed to take a break from paying an employee while still making them work.

  • Apparently there's also AI generated guidebooks, which look completely legitimate but are actually random nonsense.

  • Remember back when you could buy RAM? Those were good times.

  • It's because AI gives you complete bollocks which looks like a correct answer complete with made-up sources.

    One gives you shit, the other gives you shit that looks like tasty food.

  • Apparently initial polls show a big swing amongst conservative men away from One Nation back towards the coalition after Well Done Angus took the leadership.

    So the thing that might stop Pauline Hanson's racist agenda is misogyny. I'm honestly not sure which side to cheer for here.

    Which would you rather eat, a shit sandwich or a poop milkshake?

  • Still doing their best to bring back slavery after all these years.

  • I think if they were more effective at manipulating people, I'd hate them more.

  • They said "small wind is horrible", not "I'd really like to spend money on small wind turbines that can't deliver what they promise, I wish I knew where to find some".

  • The more ads you show people, the less each ad is worth. Because people have a fixed amount of money and only so much time and attention, so each ad is competing with all the other ads they're being shown. People are skipping your ad because all the previous ads have them sitting with a finger already on the skip button.

    If people spend more time watching ads, they don't have any more money than they did before, so each ad has a smaller chance of leading to a sale. We're racing towards a world where there's flashing, moving ads on every surface around you and you don't buy any of it or even see the advertising, it's just visual noise to ignore. And advertisers will inevitably respond by looking for more things to put more intrusive ads on.

    And none of the advertisers want to be the first one to advertise less, they're all fighting for advertising market share, trying their hardest to get a larger cut of the profits and making things worse for everyone including themselves in the process.

  • It's hilarious to me that Youtube, through their low payout for advertising, has pushed everyone into doing paid sponsor segments. Which means that paying for Youtube Premium doesn't work, you need Sponsorblock if you want to not see ads on Youtube. And if you're installing Sponsorblock, why not just get uBlock Origin too?

  • They're saying that US vehicles are also government subsidized, they just pocketed the money instead of actually improving their products. So comparing the Chinese products to the US ones isn't unfair, the US products really are that bad and they deserve to fail.
