I picked up the base for III after sinking countless hours in II and LOD. It was so much less fun and more grindy… maybe some people like it, but it didn’t hook me like I & II did. I never even finished the base game I got maybe 10-20yrs tops and gave up. Luckily it was on a steep discount at the time.
“This looks pretty concerning," said meteorologist Daniel Swain.
Understatement of the year right there.
Defenestration has yet to catch on here, but with his Russian ties, it’s practically a family tradition.
That’s probably one reason he’d like to annex it then. All that crude would be ours.
There are a few broadcast 8k channels in Japan and South Korea. There’s some YouTube 8k videos and 16k is being worked on. 8k is pretty awesome, though I really just want 8k screens for large PC monitors. I currently use a 4k 43” and 8k would be even better at that distance. Both Samsung and Sony have 8k screens for sale right now and they’re not really that crazy expensive for cutting edge. (75” Samsung 8k QLED for $3k)
I like how now is referred to as the “post-truth era” as if there were pre-truth and truth eras as well… the internet and newspapers in general have never been infallible. Journalistic Integrity was a bigger deal, but it was pretty easy to find false, dubious and inflammatory statements in printed papers and news programs. As someone who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s, I remember having to site multiple sources in papers due to inconsistencies and straight up lies and opinions being wide spread.
What we’re seeing here is less about truth, and more about the speed of information spread, truth or not. Coupled with the lack of questioning from the general public and the acceptance of marginal information by the masses. Anything that fits someone’s personal narrative is championed and distributed as truth. I feel that it’s partly due to the online bubbles that promote such community echo chambers, but we had those in the past as well. Perhaps they just didn’t work quite as well as those that can be both world wide and easily influenced by outside actors.
I’d agree that some of the perceived lack of journalistic integrity could be exaggerated by the AI and click bait tactics to drive views and revenue.
I’m all about decentralized social media, but I don’t think it’s a panacea as Lemmy has plenty of echo chambers and questionable information just as any other social media network.
Hey, at least they look padded!
Plus, they were really cool robots, so…
Finish my migration to my local Kubernetes cluster. Tired of running a mix of vms, docker, and bare metal. I got it setup and a few things, just have to power through.
I also need to bump the drive size in my NAS as I’m running low and want to leverage it more, not less. (Pods use PVs hosted on the NAS over NFS or iSCSI).
And get my offsite backups going again, I had to move this last year and it put a real damper on my goals for last year so there’s a lot of “got the stuff just have to make it work”.
Edit: the UDM Pro is pretty nice. That, a rack and a 2.5G enterprise switch were last year’s acquisitions.
Same in the US… I don’t have any choice on where my power comes from. Though the government tries to go after them for price fixing/gouging, it’s always way late and a smaller penalty that nut should have been while they’re currently making money hand over fist.
Eventually, climate change will cause a drop in population, but not before causing catastrophic environmental changes that lead to increased food scarcity.
We’re just speed running enshitification.
