Not to mention, nuclear is GREAT for reliable baseline load. Pair that with renewable sources (which in many locations tend to be bursty) and grid-scale batteries/supercapacitors/some other energy-storage mechanism, and you’ve got a zero-carbon electric grid.

It is interesting that part of his canon is literally telling cops who are glorifying him to knock it the fuck off, or he’s gonna start considering them a problem

A father and a son - she posted about it a day or two ago. She didn’t let her dreams stay dreams 😤

This is actually something that will probably piss off a lot of New Hampshire residents, actually. They generally vote Republican for stupid libertarian reasons, but they also REALLY do not like the Feds intervening in their shit, and this is that.

Honestly, I'm down, it sounds fun and mutually supportive

F

lol I feel like you’re (perhaps accidentally) building a latent foundation for a globally-distributed kitchen table polycule, and I think that’s both hilarious and fantastic 😆

I’m pretty sure that’s only applicable if the GOP doesn’t get fucking wrecked in the elections.

But also, who knows how the regime is going to try to fuck things in a couple weeks

You know, it would be an extremely interesting and informative exercise to hook a few of these things up to rea (augmented with a digital camera and some rudimentary physical automation) to get to the bottom of all the fucky shit these companies have been doing for decades, as well as doing some more robust and direct statistical analysis of the behavior of these machines:

The ownership and management of the companies that make these things is also very worth exploring:

So, another route worth exploring (though this approach would require a lot more humans to get directly involved with social engineering and whitehat hacking) would be to basically get hired by these companies and find a way to exfiltrate data for the purpose of public viewing and analysis.

It’s furthermore worth noting that much of this could be answered if these companies open sourced the firmware and hardware specs of the systems they’re deploying, increasing public visibility and access in general (there are tons of VERY pervasively deployed and VERY secure pieces of software all over the world today - open source absolutely does not mean “insecure”, and in fact often leads to MORE secure software), but their ongoing insistence about being cloak and dagger about everything prevents any of that from happening.

Keep it up! Слава Україні!

Everyone is a consenting adult, everything is above board, and nobody’s feelings are getting bent. Why you gotta yuck someone else’s yum?

The hypocrisy is not surprising, but it is maddening.

I’d love it if Meta shareholders spun up a class-action about this.

Hey, I hope you’re right, and I’m just being unnecessarily paranoid. But I’m worried it’s not gonna pan out that way.

My guy you are welcome to block violet if you wish.

Most other users don’t care, or are amused by this.

Curate your own content, by all means. But if you’re trying to insist everyone else curate their content such that it aligns to your finicky-ass preferences, you genuinely need to fuck right off.

Why.

Sure, but I think I’ll make that sign and use it anyways, because the statement itself goes pretty fucking hard.

Stop gatekeeping other people’s lives

Man we are gonna be dealing with the fallout of this idiocy for a generation at least, if not two. And that’s without even touching on the geopolitical and domestic + international social / cultural consequences.
