Nah, everyone owning their own car is just the fucking norm. What’s cool is buying a new car. Often, and brand new.

When an economic system encourages you to constantly replace the same product, the concept of ownership becomes a little blurred. I mean, if you spend part of your budget on it every month for your entire life, it’s not much different from renting.

Parks & Recreation

I can confirm that. I live in France, and Pride in my (quite small) town doesn’t have a single private sponsor. It’s all organized by a non profit organization, gathering the various local LGBTQIA+ associations, and associations for STI prevention, human rights activists, feminists and so on.

Before the procession starts, there’s a small fair in a public park with (free) stands for all these associations, and stands where goodies are sold to finance the event.

To fight climate change, we need investment in green energy. That doesn’t mean we need more and more data centers (there’s a surge since 2022) using an energy mix with a undetermined ratio of fossile energy and green energy.

Yeah, I know Shumpeter theory. It does not predict what happens when a new technology massively destroies white collar and creative jobs.

Like tons of bullshit IA generated websites when you look for information about a file format, or conversion tools for this file format

Because of the environmental cost and climate change

Because of the jobs being destroyed by productivity gains

Because of the Internet starting to fill up with slop that drowns out the really relevant sites

No, it just makes it boring straight

What about the role of IBM in the logistics of the Reich, from military logistics to railroad and camp management for the Holocaust?

At this point, they became homonyms. Nothing more.

Mildly infuriating? I’d rather say totally terrifying

I’m betting on an overdose. Ketamine, cocaine, amphetamine… whatever the shit is, I’m not an expert.

Please, do it.

One of the most destructive firestorm in history:

• kills 5

• burns 2

• 000 buildings

40 light years to reach a potentially habitable planet with a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere?

Just wait 40 years on Earth.

What? Seriously, what? I really wasn’t expecting that? How did you know?

(I’m training for Christmas. Someone asked me for a wishlist because they didn’t know what to get me)

For a non-American, his “industry” is one of the few deterrents to those considering moving to the United States (with guns and MAGA cultists)

Yes, because it’s okay to punch Nazis

Beyond the legal aspect, AI training on artists’ works poses an ethical problem. And when it comes to ethics, I think we can avoid quoting Picasso,

Oh yeah, Picasso. The great artist who was an abusive guy who beat her mistress to paint her crying (The Weeping Woman / Dora Maar).

And rear parking sensors. I don’t want a fancy camera+screen system, but simply an ultrasonic sensor which beeps if you’re going to hit something

Ban the bully from the school where they harassed kids. It should always be like that.
