He’s a modern day Edison. Loved by some, hated by others. Takes credit for other’s work and has sketchy morals. More a businessman than an engineer. History will ebb and flow on if he’s celebrated or destined, one decade he’s a hero, the next he’s a villain; and opinion will continue to switch.

The alternative is pretty fucking stupid too. Imagine losing access to your freshwater because the river shifted across an imaginary line. At least when the border is the river, you always have access to the river.

There are so many reasons to dunk on Elon, but this isn’t one of them. Generic looking humanoid robots isn’t “ripping off” I, Robot. It’s literally the most common depiction of futuristic robots around.

You wanna dunk on Musk? Talk about how his robots were remote controlled with humans talking through them. Talk about how most of his family has disowned him and refuses to have anything to do with him. Talk about how he has Trump’s dick firmly in his mouth because he might be in hot water over supplying equipment to Russia and might face prosecution if Trump isn’t elected.

But this just screams of low-hanging Musk-bait, where journalists will write anything negative about him knowing that those who have hate-boners for the guy will eat up whatever crap they shit out, even if it doesn’t make sense. It’s like going “Elon Musk ate cereal for breakfast! What a fucking loser!”

Internal SSD with the operating system on it. No other upgrade I’ve made to my PC has ever been so substantial.

The disconnect between the general public and the realities of the petroleum industry may be the largest gap in existence. Pretty much any article you read gets 99% of the info hilariously wrong as the journalist has no idea wtf they’re talking about.

I’ve seen so many people grudgingly pretending what they saw wasn’t one of the coolest fucking things they’ve seen all year all because they hate Musk. Like, you know he’s not personally involved in the design or manufacture of these things right? By all accounts he’s more of a hindrance and these amazing fears of engineering have been accomplished despite him, not because of him.

I personally don’t really care how big of a douche Musk is, as long as he’s willing to fund these kinds of things.

I still haven’t found something better than Chromecast that can stream obscure video sites (yar-har). Everything else seems to only accept large companies with dedicated apps (Netflix, YouTube, Crunchyroll, etc.). Unfortunately, with Google phasing out their Chromecasts, I might have to go back to a super long HDMI cord connected to my PC.

I think there’s a much more lively audience who’s votes could be won with the simple free act of stopping weapons sales to Israel or banning their use on civilian infrastructure.

The issue is that lively audience is mostly made up of those folks commonly known as “the poors”, and therefore their opinion doesn’t matter.

I was told by others that it was only at the beginning and to give it another shot, but I was too skeeved out to keep going. Good to know I made the right call and avoided that pedo shit.

I cant get past the loli/shota grossness at the start of Made in Abyss. I’d be embarrassed to recommend that to anyone.

Edit: Apparently not just at the beginning? Disgusting either way.

Oh, trust me, those militants are very much pro-genocide, they just haven’t quite figured out a way to be successful at it.

“Share the LOAD”

It’s the leftist side of what usually happens when a subset of users break or are driven off of a platform and go to find a different one. Usually it’s right wingers. As one example, Voat gained a surge of users after /r/thedonald was banned. Didn’t take long for it to become a cesspool of racism and hatred, all thanks to the paradox of tolerance. What’s happening on Lemmy in places like grad and ml is just the extreme leftist version.

Political ideology is like a horseshoe, and the opposite ends are closer to each other than they realize. Same, same, but different.

Child me: this looks so fun!

Adult me: Ticks. Gonna have to check everywhere for ticks.

So glad I got a 12900k. Apparently they beefed up the reliability of the 12th Gen since it was the first gen with the new framework, but crapped out on the subsequent gens. Looking like it’s going to be the best CPU for quite some time.

I thought Signal was the big one?

If you go to a museum and see an impressive skeleton of a dinosaur, you’re not actually looking at dinosaur bones. And no, I don’t mean because they’ve calcified and become “rock”. I mean the real bones are in a drawer somewhere, if they even exist. What you’re looking at is plaster, often with many of the pieces wholly created from scratch in order to produce a full skeleton.

Me not understand. Me single issue Lemmy voter. Why Kamama not shit on own constituency for paltry gesture that change nothing? Why Kamama?! Why?!

Not just without protection, also without lube or foreplay of any kind. That’s an important distinction.
