And this? This is a drop in the bucket compared to what’s to come in 10-15 years. And 50+ years. Reality check: even if the entirety of human civilization went carbon-neutral by the end of the year (which is basically impossible) the changes we’ve set in motion are going to keep rolling for centuries to come. So as…

(neither, as either would imply way more notoriety than I have acquired)

Likewise. Give me a few months, and I can hammer out a 100k+ word novel. Give me a couple more months, and I can refine and edit it until I feel it’s ready for an audience. But that’s as far as my particular skillset can get me. All the marketing and social-media savvy of a fish out of water.

Something I slowly realized as a writer is that writing isn’t where the majority of your energy or time is spent. ~95% of the work is getting your name out there in front of enough people that ‘word of mouth’ becomes self-sustaining. Writing, editing, developing, publishing — that’s all child’s play. Finding those…

Democracy was already irrelevant to Republicans — that’s what they’ve spent over a century rigging the system to ensure. They’ve just stopped bothering with saying the quiet parts quietly. They’re loud, obnoxious, wrong, and dangerous, and they’re through pretending to be anything else.

But won’t someone think of all the poor, unfortunate billionaires?! They have needs, too!

Conservativism: come for the ignorance, stay for the bigotry, intolerance, lynching, harassment, embezzlement, fraud, and treason!

So, he wants to declare his allegiance to an *ENEMY* nation, and the rest of the state to follow him. Pretty sure there’s both a word and a consequence for that, and it isn’t ‘heritage’ or ‘respecting history.’

Over-engineering the minor details while the rocket still isn’t ready to launch. Something about putting the cart before the horse...

Starship can’t get here fast enough to completely upend the space station game...

Nothing. The answer is nothing. That’s what NFTs are worth — a big ol’ rooster egg. Digital snake oil.

It’s a good thing we’ve got another planet to live on when Earth finally gives us the boot. Oh, wait....

One could argue the officer in question is violating the public-display sections of the US copyright laws, which is the same violation being used to keep it off youtube.

America’s tax laws are largely written by the wealthy or at the behest of wealthy donors, to the benefit of the wealthy, and at the expense of everything and everyone else. The ‘system’ isn’t broken. It is working exactly as intended — to put the entire burden of maintaining a healthy, growing society on everyone but…

We’re in the middle of a runaway greenhouse effect. If we were living on Venus a couple billion years ago, we’d be having this same discussion...and ultimately go extinct because we couldn’t get our shit together.

This. A *HUGE* chunk of game development in no way requires in-person presence. All that does is radically inflate overhead costs — more specifically all the ‘warm bodies’ ‘managing’ people — without any increase in speed or efficiency. The problem being, the vast majority of those warm bodies doing the managing are…

Tucker Carlson is a liar???

Never argue with an idiot — they just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

“NFTs — a solution to no problems and problems with no solutions! We should totally go for it!” — SEGA execs

Does the power-savings aspect of e-ink displays actually apply to video though? My understanding is that the power savings of the display type was due to it not having to constantly redraw the screen to maintain the image, unlike traditional display tech. Displaying a video requires constantly redrawing the screen,…
