Even that won't be enough. Research the "Samson Option". Basically, if the West abandons Israel, they'll just blackmail us into compliance.

It doesn't matter if we defeat this one. They'll just try again and again and again until it sticks.

I fucking love it. I'll never understand people who hate birdsong, no matter what time. Are your windows really that thin? Relax and enjoy something nature provides for free at no cost to you whatsoever.

Perish like a dog it is then. There is no tearing down reality without you inside of it.

My personal take is that the super-elite know there's no saving our biosphere in our lifetimes so they're just robbing what they can while they still can.

No reason to develop steam if you have tons of slaves.

I think I largely did. I watch Youtube with an adblocker and Lemmy is my only social media. Everything else is corporate. 95% of the internet could be gone tomorrow and I wouldn't notice.

Oh boy, one of my favorite hyperfixations, Roman coin debasement & inflation! TLDR: the parallels of today and back then are much more than just similar. We're essentially repeating what happened in the fourth century but on a global scale.

Interestingly, I don't think that's going to happen. OPEC could decide to ramp up production if USA lowers theirs. Demand for oil isn't rising the way it used to due to alternatives not only becoming viable but actually cheaper as well.

I wonder what'll happen to Tech giants' revenue in the EU if they decide to get serious about this.

Just did the same. My pc was 7 years old. This may be my final ever upgrade.

Sure grandma. Let's get you back to bed...

High-powered lasers have a very wide beam ;)

I've had great success with using ChatGPT to diagnose and solve hardware issues. There's plenty of legitimate use cases. The problem remains that if you ask it for information about something, the only way to be sure it's correct is to actually know what you're asking about. Anyone without at least passing knowledge of the subject will assume the info they get is correct, which will be the case most of the time, but not always. And in fields like security or medicine, such a small issue could easily have dire ramifications.

Small, probably stupid tip, but what the hell. There is an almost surefire way to kill drones without needing a firearm. Buy a high-powered laser (>5W). It obviously won't be enough to take the drone down, but just a fraction of a second of that beam is enough to permanently destroy the camera. The downside is that the beam is very visible so you'd also be giving away your location. Also works on static cameras like traffic cams, number plate readers, ...

I don't think enough people noticed the Trump regime's demands that EU destroy their own healthcare just so theirs could look, well, not better but less terrible by comparison.

This is not a joke. These people will absolutely do everything they can to rob the few nations on this Earth that manage to take care of their citizens to the point they're all beholden to the same crime lord family.

Anyone with the brains and means is welcome in EU! Several member nations are setting up funds for exactly this reason.

Yes, as long as the information you get from the AI is correct. Which we know is absolutely not the case. That is the issue. If AI's output could be trusted 100% things would be wildly different.

And cases like this attract more of that type of person.

I have given up on the idea of retirement or security/safety in my lifetime a loooong time back. We live in the worst possible type of dystopia, a world where "evil" won long ago, and has had ample time and opportunity to sink its claws into every aspect of our lives, forever.

And the worst part is that most people won't even believe it. In fact, almost a majority seem to relish it somehow. Like they want the world to be as terrible as it can possibly be, even for themselves.
