Right on. The way the way population is right now, every time a chunk of mountain or glacier falls down, or a river floods, tens of thousands die or are displaced.

In 1960 there were 2-3 billion people on the planet. Now it’s 3x as many cars, mouths to feed, homes to heat/cool.

In Bangladesh there are over 1 million Rohingan refugees who’ve been there for TEN YEARS. They can’t work there, have no country to move to, have to live on $6-12 a month for food.

The German Nazis stored people data on Hollerith punch cards supplied by US company IBM.

I’m not sure that Google could sink any lower.

Good for the girls, they’ll know which boys to stay away from!

For one thing UBO, if you take the time to (turn on and) learn the advanced user mode, will let you customize interactions site-by-site, and remember your choices for years.EG I regulary use the zapper and eyedropper to get rid of stuff other than ads. It’s also easy to turn on/off site-by-site.

The man deserves a medal for the time he’s put in literally saving the internet for so many millions.

Gotta keep those defense magnates happy. They haven’t had anything since the Cold Warnukes, silos and missles to keep their blood going.

No problem. So much enshittification on the web these days, don’t need so much RAM, I might sell some.

Many users were not the first to think that. Many of them were famous musicians. Some of them survived.

Hope somebody here shorted 1000 shares the day they hit $220.

would be worth $3,703 today. Or perhaps $250 tomaro when the AI bubble pops. An investment in the market is obviously worth more to those high-living traders, of course (and those fee-loving brokers), so they concur.

And then there’s the security question … what’s to stop their ‘guards’ from realizing that they could be living securely -without- the boss?

This discussion was very useful in understanding the importance of getting feedback on code … and documenting ASAP - because, over time, even the author’s memory of the code’s purposes will get dimmer.

If the code is at all complicated? Then after a year or two, documentation (including function and variable names!) might make the difference between hours of study and days.

Next time, instead of buying, take the idea home. Think about it first.

Now that he realizes that he got fished in, what’s he plan to do to make up for his multiple mistakes?

I remember a bunch of movies where torches and pitchforks helped.

Promises, promises. I haven’t heard of one that’s actually in commercial operation right now.

But, apples and oranges… it’s a bullshit choice. Power plants generate power, DC’s consume power.

If you going to generate power, why look beyond solar/wind and batteries? At a much lower price, and much faster build times, they too are ‘physically incapable of going into meltdown’, and are already in use worldwide, no wait time.

As far as DC’s go, they depend on very new technology (enjoying a trendy fad) which -will- get far less power-hungry than they are. Or else. (The grid’s not ready for them.)

The only people in a rush seem to be the people who invested in all the snake oil promises that LLM’s are real A.I. … which they aren’t.

My view is that most technology is a tool, like a screwdriver. You can carefully and enjoyably use it to build something useful, helpful, enjoyable. Or you can use it like a psycho.

A friend gave me this firm ‘Sacro-ease’ pad/cushion, it’s about an inch (2.5cm) thick on the bottom and 2 inches on the top. Move the bottom up or down for best relief. Use it on my old chair all day, helps a lot.

Sundials date back at least as far as Egypt and Babylon. They’re still found in gardens and old cities. Can be tricky to set the time accurately! helps to have a compass.

I would again recommend that anyone doing online marketing and/or tracking be legally confined to the .COM TLD. Severe penalties for corporate abuse would include removal of all internet access. Less severe penalties might include a confiscation of double of all profits made outside of .COM during a deliberate infraction.

There would be no cost for any TLD’s outside of .COM; all regulation and legal costs to be paid-for by .COM - users.
