Did you remember to fill out the Willkommenmenschengrößewurstanfrageformulare when you arrived?

That applies to most gods in real life religions too. If anything Q has a more respectful relationship with Picard than gods display in most mythologies.

You wish you were in The Matrix. The robots on that one were much nicer to humanity than humanity deserved.

Even taking the idiotic “humans as energy sources” justification at face value, the fact they didn’t go all I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream on humanity after humans took the most imbecilic and morally reprehensible path at every turn, shows they got out of their way to not be the bad guys.

Did he? Looking at the entire picture, Q is basically a benevolent trickster god for Picard. Almost every single “trial” has Picard coming out stronger because of it. ST:Picard even has Q state it out right.

(2) can mean getting access to production credentials of something important and causing an incident for the ages.

AWS already had a few because they gave agents too much access.

Let me guess, the containment was written by the previous iteration and was the digital version of a wet paperback.

We all saw the state of Claude Code’s codebase.

From a programmers perspective it takes a grand total of 2 minutes to do a bash/python script or jupyter notebook that exposes a semantically adequate interface. Maybe 5 minutes, if instead of just doing something quick and dirty yourself you decide to get into an argument with an LLM.

Career judges with a strong oversight board.

With the exception of the US, all other developed countries rely exclusively on them, and, for the most part, have a better justice system.

Comparison between US data show that elected judges will decide cases differently based on distance to the elections (I.e. they will more heavy handed closer to elections). That’s not justice, it’s bringing mob mentality to the courts.

Because we don’t have infinite resources, so we need to make choices.

Investing in nuclear makes sense if we invent a time machine to start building the power stations about 20 years ago.

Since we don’t have time machines, what we need is to increase renewable energy production and storage capacity, in the fastest time frame possible.

Someone fell for April’s fool 3 days too late.

The conflict of interests regarding the online version of Libreoffice was already bad enough even without a legal case looming over it.

While, pragmatically and unfortunately, big open source projects need to involve commercial partners to scale, depending on a single commercial partner is always a recipe for disaster.

Except there was no online play

That was a feature, not a limitation.

No one needs to know everything. In fact no one can know everything. It’s fine you don’t want to know about it. Why would preserving anything put any strain on you?

Hydroelectric power stations still rely on steam, it’s just in another part of the cycle.

Who’s writing this??

Someone that doesn’t know German.

It’s not that linear. Some background services will cache more things in RAM if memory usage is low and release it if total usage goes above a threshold, for example.

There’s an “AI” to go with it: https://www.peppercarrot.com/extras/html/2026_Rubber-Ducking-Avian-Intelligence/

I strongly suspect that Vance doesn’t really hate (or love for that matter) anyone. Vance cares about Vance, and will say and do whatever makes life better for Vance in the short term.

And lots of tech-oligarchs that pay to make Vance’s life better are on Bluesky.
