OceanGate seasteading groverhaus boat ever given

I am reading about the weird ancap seasteading fantasy stuff and looking at what these people think. Since crypto and finance bros are a big part of it now, somebody realized that ultimately people need to, you know, **dock somewhere**. So a user on r/seasteading has invented sealording, *leasing* out *pier space* to seastead buildings like shops. Of course since this is just some gullible american, they can only think of two types of businesses. Very funny to me.

At this point I guess the appeal is they can go offshore to somewhere else when their business gets in trouble with the law lmao.

The “AI” bubble is showing cracks, and Microsoft ruins Excel

It's not AI winter just yet, though there is a distinct chill in the air. Meta is shaking up and downsizing its artificial intelligence division. A new report out of MIT finds that 95 percent of companies' generative AI programs have failed to earn any profit whatsoever. Tech stocks tanked Tuesday, regarding broader

I solemnly swear that my YouTubePoops will increase in runtime geometrically.

Unrelated reminder that subscribers to the Patreon will receive premium membership catheters for the ideal viewing experience. Thanks for being a part of my journey!

Subtitling is kinda exhausting but thankfully you can get silly with it

New premiere! Prepare to cyber! Now!!!

I put a lot of work into manually making the English captions, so if you have trouble with un-captioned YouTubePoops, don't worry! It was fun to sprinkle in a little David Wilcock source material too :blobcatwink: .

Anyways, stay :cyber: !

acab | cop stats | sexual & gender based violence mention 

😡😡😡😡

So, they're not only leaders in domestic abuse but also other forms of sgbv. Unsurprising of course but also why aren't we clear about positions of power and use of violence monopolies and who is attracted to them?

"Do you remember the exact moment that anti-masking stopped being a far-right talking point. And became advice you were willing to follow?"

Long predicted, I'm starting to see that thing happen where the "left"/progressives/socialists on the ground, the ones fighting with their bodies or with their pens, are losing their ability to organize and resist because they're getting sick.

Either directly from COVID, getting LongCOVID, or suffering the full body/multi-organ/opportunistic infection/brain damage consequences of repeated COVID infections.

The abdication to COVID by these "inclusive" groups continues to stun me.

"Fuck the fascists! (except when they talk about COVID. They're right about that!)" 🙄

re: regarding US interventionism 

@astra_underscore this time with real guns?

@amy a long time emacs user's idea of a 'minimal, starter' config will invariably be anything but. I very briefly tried Spacemacs when I first tried Emacs, and obviously that was just too much in terms of features too.

I ended up reading a lot of 'Mastering Emacs' blog posts and writing my own init.el. A good start is configuring emacs core settings via M-x customize menu within Emacs, then making those permanent in your init.el, and selectively adding features you need, as needed, with a preference to builtin features from new versions instead of packages from Melpa or whatever to avoid creating an unmaintainable configuration. For example, avoid advice that tells you to install a package for line-numbering instead of using the new Emacs line numbering from the more recent versions (26+). Emacs has been going through lots of breaking API changes and huge new features only found in blog posts and changelogs, so anything pre- Emacs 26 is uselessly out of date.

It might be worth looking at recent tutorial videos, not for the video advice, but to see if the uploaders have their config uploaded for beginners. You can try pruning excess from one that already looks kinda intuitive to you, and start from there.

I ultimately just bit the bullet and read the elisp tutorial within M-x info during manic episode in order to glean enough to write a few of my own init config steps and options. However I decided to get into Emacs right when these changes were in full swing, so hopefully you won't have to!

In a better world I'd get hit by a Cargo Tram and Isekai'd into another world that had a truck which could then isekai me back to the Cargo Tram world

what are the aliens doing with the cows, anyway? im genuinely asking. are there any aliens in the audience tonight?

@thawkade oh damn in the direct it sounded like the exact opposite. I watched it twice, it sounded like Sakurai was implying it had been replaced and there is no footage of it. Botched delivery I guess.

tech and games are too expensive. 

People complaining about not buying the latest console are kinda missing the follow-up point that families and households have to buy multiple ones now, like goddamn smartphones. They are personal machines which don't support split screen or shared screen gameplay anymore, and that's too damned expensive. Is a house supposed to buy a console, laptop, and phone for every member of the household now by default? None of this makes any damned sense unless you acknowledge that we're being fucking juiced by rent seeking shit instead of reaping the genuine rewards of better technology (which would be some goddamned economy!).

edit: This is based on information from the Nintendo direct which has since been corrected in other sources by Nintendo. No footage to confirm, though. The following post's sentiments could easily apply to most console games nowadays though. A more fair assesment would be ~$520 USD.

What is the point of modern consoles if you have to buy multiple consoles to play with friends? The economic sense is just completely gone. Take this example, as split-screen is dead on consoles, in the cheapest scenario without Nintendo Switch Online and using local link play.

So who the fuck is this for?
