I kind of hope gaben has set up something smart for his death. Eg Valve is owned by a trust.

And we’re also talking on a more local scale here, so this would be more centric around a single country, or north america specifically.

North America is an interesting example here, because North America HIT peak oil once, way back in the 80's, and it was only with the invention of Fracking that it came back.

Yeah but idk about this one. Perhaps at the scale of CDNs and proxy distribution,

Once upon a time people debated if virtual hosts were best practice or if that would affect their SEO. We've definitely progressed since then, both to conserve IP addresses, but mainly because DDOS prevention is best done centralised (Looking at you Cloudflare).

critical difference here was also the consumption of oil. It’s gone down significantly since then as processes have moved to other materials and more efficient methods of manufacturing,

Do you have a source for that? Because this seems to suggest fossil fuel and oil demand might of roughly plateaued the last few years, the dip looks pretty welly correlated to Covid.

IPv4 addresses are a static pool, yes. But we're continually using them more efficiently, the same as Oil. The difference being that Oil has a limit on the amount of energy contained in its chemical bonds, but you could quite happily host 1,000 or 10,000 websites on a single server.

Imho

Ipv4 and peak oil are similar.

We're constantly running out; but every fes years, we figure out a new way to extract more oil/make do with the addresses we currently have.

Someone sells of their underused block, or more people move to the services with excess IP addresses if they need one.

I wanted to leave snarky comments about the only news worthy symptom would be the ability to pass it on to other humans.

I stand corrected.

It supports both online co-op as well as split screen with multiple controllers; at least it does on PC.

Whatever is more useful goes first.

For example, if this we're a list of UI text strings, finding all of the dialogue options together might be useful.

If, instead, this is a series of variables already around one dialogue, then finding the open or close bits together would be useful.

I think it's far more likely there's some sales goal and or performance indicator at play here.

I'm really hoping for thermite. A lot of thermite.

The CDC told reporters on a call that it has not seen evidence of human to human transmission of bird flu and that it has tested close to 40 people since March, including the Michigan worker.

If, and only if, we see human to human transmission, then we sorry. Not before.

It depends on how bright it is where you are.

When it's very very dim your color sensing part of your eyes, which are less sensitive to light, don't work. Only the black and white parts of your vision work.

Kind of.

Reminder: helldivers hasn't yet been re-enabled in the countries it was restricted from.

Honestly, I think almost everything else is worse than Google.

I set my default to duck duck go, and it's getting better, but I still fall back on google with some regularity

This is pretty much it.

The city knows about your protest so they can plan accordingly.

They may also make requests of your protest, eg, could you self organise your own traffic wardens to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

It's just that in America they realized if they complain enough, they get to rub they're hands gleefully at the thought of all that electricity they're going to sell, AND all the public money they're going to get to upgrade the grid!

Or regulation.

Driving prices down would require meaningful competition, or a feasible alternative, or regulation.

(Feasible alternatives do exist, eg trades, but are not treated as viable alternatives by society)

As a general rule, the amount of exploitation and fraud it takes to "become" a billionaire should probably be illegal.

Lying about what you do with peoples data and who you share it with.

Sentencing and punishment are affected by "caste"

It muddies the water around, supporting the various states, and the public image of that.

The same thing for the Palestine genocide ongoing now, the US has a second war to supply.

An ipod with a much larger screen (320×240 vs 480x320), a camera, and could take phone calls, browse the internet, and do email.

Oh, he was an absolute asshole. Seems I deleted that sentence. RIP me.

"I have enabled and ushered in a new age of knowledge access like no other, here's a cool way to eat that goes against all reasonable nutritionists' advice. Sounds good to me!" - Really seems like a fitting way to kick off this century IMO.
