The fact that they’re pushing for AI to be a utility when the fucking internet isn’t is just absurd.

So do bats. I propose we trade all of the wasps for some quantity of bats.

Hate to tell you…

The distinction is that NIMBYs only object to the infrastructure when it’s in their back yard. I think the majority of people object to these data centers anywhere, but only have voting power to directly oppose them in their back yards, so that’s where their effort is spent. I haven’t seen anyone say “I definitely want another massive datacenter to go up, just not here.”

Can’t tell what size it is, but it looks like maybe 11x14 or larger?. Check prices here (purely for general comparison): https://www.michaels.com/shop/frames

Absolute cheapest they come is $5, and they go up considerably from there.

Art is subjective; it’s worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, but frames have a non-subjective value and it’s at least $5 in this case.

I mean, honestly, the frame looks nice, that alone is probably worth at least $5. The painting is just getting thrown in for free.

Another article confirmed it was payment processors again. This is why we can’t have nice things.

I really have no idea, and this would probably be jurisdiction dependent anyway.

They do allow things like food, which it seems would come with more liability anyway, if they can be held liable for kickstarted things.

It sounds like it’s just insertable toys, so it might be a liability thing if they’re afraid people are selling unsafe toys? Who knows. That’s a really weird distinction and definitely one that payment processors don’t make.

That explains the wait-then-dismiss situation. On the other hand, I wonder if the person on trial actually did it or if they were pressured into a plea deal…

I do not have a lot of faith in our court system.

I’ve been summoned as a juror twice in >20 years of eligibility. They have a number you call when the date comes to see if you actually have to appear or not; the first time, I didn’t have to go at all. The second time, I did have to appear; I sat in a waiting room with about 20 other people for an hour, then we were all told we could go home.

Overall, shitty experience.

I guess I’m suggesting that if you got kids used to using Linux, they’d be more likely to keep using Linux after graduating, on their personal computers. Nobody’s using ChromeOS for anything serious.

Imagine the technological shift we could see if they were similarly powered linux laptops vs. Chromebooks. Get kids used to linux in school and I bet we’d start seeing Windows losing much more significant market share.

*notices your soul* OwO what’s this?

I had to google this, legitimately thought you were referring to a Pokemon or something. Some weird combination of Geodude and Psyduck, maybe.

Look, if I have to go bankrupt for visiting the hospital to make sure that all these “rainbow flag” groups can’t corrupt our youth, that’s what I’m going to do!

• Conservatives, probably

There’s also endless content of them confidently presenting these arguments to judges when they’ve broken laws and being immediately shut down by said judges.

This sounds like the Train Simulator of driving games, which I’m sure there’s a market for. I think it could have more mass appeal without compromising the vision if you included a set of in-game goals like visiting various landmarks, obeying (or disobeying) road rules, or whatever else.

This is interesting; specs look pretty solid for the price. Notably this uses DDR4 ram vs. the DDR5 in the Steam Machine which, given the current… situation… probably contributes a lot to the price point seeming reasonable.

Even just like… hitting a speed bump would be pretty bad.
