Yes, I have definitely noticed the enshittification. Hopefully it reverses.

I don’t know about pay, but the changes to the Steam store have definitely had an impact from what I can see. As a consumer, I have a hard time finding anything new or obscure. Their old store had much better controls for that (still there if you know where to look). So for exposure of devs on the store, I think Valve is either playing games or are incompetent these days, unfortunate either way.

This is dangerous to our democracy.

I like 213 to travel back in time as I go.

Different phases of power? Did you have 3-phase ran to your house or something?

You could get a Starlink for redundant internet connection. Load balancing / fail over is an interesting challenge if you like to DIY.

Why does my mini fridge keep tripping my GFCI outlet? Is it a bad motor or is it just never good to put a compressor motor on a GFI?

Edit: Actually this comment made a lot of sense and is making me think through some things. Home run comes into the GFCI outlet first then daisy chains over to where the mini fridge is.

In the early days, humanity was in awe of the Earth's bounty. They tapped into its veins, extracting oil and gas to power their machines and fuel their progress. The planet's crust was mined for minerals, its forests felled for lumber, and its oceans ravaged for fish.

As time passed, the pace of extraction accelerated. The once-pristine air grew thick with pollutants, the waters became choked with waste, and the land was scorched by wildfires. But humanity couldn't resist the allure of growth and profit.

They dug deeper, piercing the Earth's mantle, releasing ancient carbon into the atmosphere. The planet's temperature began to rise, but still they drilled, pumped, and mined. The warnings of scientists were ignored, their cries of "peak oil" and "climate change" drowned out by the din of progress.

One day, the Earth's core began to slow its rotation. The magnetic field that protected the planet from the solar winds started to weaken. The once-stable atmosphere grew thin, allowing the harsh radiation to seep in.

As the planet's lifeblood dwindled, the consequences became impossible to ignore. Weather patterns turned extreme, storms intensified, and droughts lengthened. The oceans, once teeming with life, began to boil away, their waters evaporating into the dry air.

The manetosphere, the delicate balance of gases that sustained life, grew weaker by the day. The solar winds howled through the gaps, stripping away the atmosphere's protective layers. The surface temperature soared, baking the remaining life forms into extinction.

In the end, it was as if humanity had sucked the very essence out of the Earth. The once-blue skies turned a sickly yellow, and the air reeked of ozone and death. The planet's final breaths were labored, its core now still, its magnetic field a faint whisper.

The last remnants of humanity huddled in underground bunkers, awaiting an end that was both inevitable and agonizingly slow. As the atmosphere dissipated, the solar winds ravaged what remained, scorching the barren landscape until it resembled the desolate wasteland of Mars.

In the silence, the Earth's corpse lay still, a testament to humanity's unrelenting greed. The once-thriving planet was now a husk, drained of its lifeblood, its beauty lost forever.

Maybe renewables is not the solution to our energy needs if it can’t scale up like we thought it could. Conservation of energy is not the answer. We as a society must find new, cleaner, sources of energy. Maybe AI can help us do it.

So AI uses energy, and it’s how we are choosing to provide that energy is destructive to the environment? So AI isn’t itself destructive.

50 GB for a BRD rip is one that is not re-encoded, that’s a straight rip from the disk.

Genuinely curious, how does it destroy the environment?

Shhh! Nobody tell them…

That’s an insult to anal fissures.

Could it be possible their test kits are contaminating the samples?

We’re going to need a new latestagecapitalism to counter this one.

What I’m hearing you say is that traditionally, appeals courts do not typically deal with matters of fact. One thing Trump has exposed is the flaw of relying on tradition and any type of honor. Wouldn’t surprise me to hear it gets appealed to a court that owes him a favor who says to hell with tradition. Although IANAL and have no idea what I’m saying.

The other article circulating said the artwork was original as well as the code.
