  • You should give Ender's Game a listen, the one narrated by Harlan Ellison and Stefan Rudnicki (I borrowed from my local library). The performance is excellent.

  • Doesn't seem violent to me. Climate change threatens us all, and from where I sit, the ultra-wealthy aren't afraid and think they can simply buy/exploit their way out of the looming danger.

  • For sure. The center fan is doing the hard work, and Noctua and others have started shipping these same cooling blocks with a single 140mm fan in the middle.

    Here's how I have mine (pulling from the back, top exhaust).

  • You'll like it! I had one but had fitment issues (SFF build). Now I have a Phantom Spirit (non-SE or EVO), which is basically the same thing but with seven heat pipes and only 154mm tall.

  • I guess we're about to see how many favors they're going to give to the fundigelicals. Whee.

    My guess is they side with Texas (because they've had too much normal adjudication lately), citing some impropriety statute from the Dutch Puritans circa 1683 as their core precedent, followed by pointing out that there's no federal law that supercedes it, so neener-neener.

  • Looks good to me. Also, is that a Peerless Assassin?

  • I have no idea who you're referring to. The people that have said there's ongoing human rights abuses against the Uyghurs, that collectively meet the UN definition for genocide, have nothing to do with TikTok or privacy. And if they made such a statement on the latter two, I would ignore it, since that's not their area of expertise.

    Is there a particular reason you're denying that the Uyghurs are being targeted and that the survivors' testimonies should be disregarded?

  • I do recommend the movie, if you haven't seen it!

  • Well, you do what you think is best. I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life, and I think our goals are aligned, but it seems we'll have to agree to disagree on what we each think is the best course of action.

    Good luck out there. Gonna be a rough couple of decades.

  • I can only hurt one empire materially, the one I materially live within.

    Right, but you missed the core of my point. If you don't like either, you don't have to support either. If that means going to a decentralized option or going without a TikTok alternative, seems like you'll achieve your dual goal of not helping either terrible option.

  • So, regarding your distaste for genocide—you, uh...might want to read up on Tiananmen Square and the Uyghurs.

    Also, I notice you didn't mention any Fediverse (or other) alternatives. I'm not going to make any accusations, but what you wrote sounds a lot like astroturfing.

    If your ultimate goal is to say, "Fuck the US," fine, but if what you really want to say is, "Fuck capitalists and authoritarians," you're going about it all wrong. What you're essentially saying is that you'd rather be punched by this other guy just because it's not the one you hate. Meanwhile, you don't have to be punched at all.

  • Y'all are the best. Will have to try these ideas later

  • I feel like they couldn't make things much worse apart from just making the app say, "Lol, fuck you," every time you tried to do anything.

    It's so bad, I've mulled just trashing the one speaker I have that I didn't even pay for, just to move to something better.

  • Those users:

  • Have you tried doing things like following hashtags? That's the best way to find content, I've found. If you write your own comments, you should also use hashtags so people can find you.

    None of that will happen by default, and there's no algorithm that will do that for you.

  • I know you meant it in jest, but I think the last I saw, it was at 9mil and growing steadily.

    And TBH, that relative lack of general attention is probably a good thing. Too much growth too fast could swamp or sink some instances.

  • Okay.

  • Wednesday evening, CEO Elon Musk gave a video interview at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

    “I don’t want to blow your minds, but AI is going to be big,” Musk told Stagwell CEO Mark Penn. “AI will do anything you want and even suggest things you never thought of.”

    Ah, yes. Elon told you. The man who lied about his "AI waiters"—that were secretly human-powered—told you. And you believed him‽ The fuck is wrong with the author?

    I mean fuck. He basically said AI can produce unicorns in that single quote. Don't worry, Melon Husk. My mind is safe and quite unimpressed with your empty promises.

  • Only use case that made me reconsider is somebody said it could be helpful for certain disabilities. I don't recall which, but if this is something that sells a few units for people with accessibility needs, then who am I to reject it?
