Oh look, a reactionary Godot fork that uses the name of a crypto exchange. They say it’s not political but what they mean is it won’t be “woke”.

Atleast it’ll be easy to identify companies that don’t deserve my money.

Hinge was okay 2.5 years ago when I met my gf on it. It’s since been purchased by match.com and is likely ruined now.

I’m concerned too much more salt may lead to salting of land, but I may be worried over nothing.

I also don’t fully trust our ability to predict negative outcomes if it’s profitable to ignore them.

It’s all good. I can see that point, but it’s unfortunately a bandaid (semi-short term cooling strategy) on a sucking wound (too much CO2 in the atmosphere), and if I trusted the world powers to continue solving the issue (Atmospheric Carbon Capture) before sepsis set (salting the earth from aeroslizing sea water) in, I’d be less opposed.

I never said burn more oil?

Also I’m not a huge fan of the idea of seeding the atmosphere with salt water, that salt has to come down eventually.

It is the Sulfer thing. Sulfer Dioxide was shading the planet and making clouds more reflective, cooling the earth and we’re fairly uncertain by how much.

Even though the article doesn’t say it outright, the obvious conclusion is that we should have stopped using fossil fuels decades ago. And even if stop now we don’t know how much more warming we’d do without the sulfer dioxide. Which shouldn’t be added to the atmosphere because it would kill an outrageous amount of people.

Democrats: “You’re being poisoned and we need to clean it up”

Republicans: “the poisoning will continue until you give the poisoners immunity”

I recently moved to Linux because windows did the first time setup pop up on me when I needed to use my 5 year old desktop in a time crunch before I was late.

When I got back, somehow despite me telling windows no to resetting my default browser to edge, my default browser was edge and windows had updated to windows 11.

Is it possible I misread the dialog because I was in a rush. Sure. It is. But also fuck microsoft.

If you read the whole article it also explains that it’s European version of the same product doesn’t contain added sugar.

The auto summary missed some key points in the article.

Article about DuckAssist. It is powered by an OpenAI product. It doesn’t do enough to bother me, and I can easily ignore it.

The brave browser has AI already, it’s a matter of time until their search engine does too.

Frankly I trust duckduckgo more than brave with that data.

I also do not have any better suggestions.

This seems like a conspiracy for targeted harassment, with a strong case of doxxing.

With an email account I created 10 minutes ago and no registered church within the app, I’ve been able to pull the names and addresses of myself, my neighbors, and the names of people whose address I’ve checked.

This is a privacy nightmare.

Majority of microplastics in the environment are specifically tire dust. And the particles are so fine they get into our blood through our lungs.

Well I played it, once, 12 years ago when the graphics were good. I don’t remember them being mind blowing, but I don’t remember them being bad either.

I dont think it really had an “are we the baddies” story, it was a very graphic anti war game for me.

It is one of the better executed anti-war message in games. Nothing I’ve played has come as close to its level of execution. I remember thinking, at the time, that the competitive multi-player really undercut the message of the single player campaign.

Spec Ops: The Line is an excellent game.

I’m all for blocking Threads as an instance or user, but blocking instances that choose to federate with threads is going to leave a lot users who when Threads breaks its compatibility with Activity Pub with no social graph to keep them tethered to ActivityPub.

Threads can’t get the data we’re worried about it collecting from federation, they can only get it from you installing/using their site or their app. So don’t do that.

I think the difference between this EEE and say XMPPs EEE is Meta/facebook is widely seen as a cancerous entity that people who are already here aren’t going to want to use, and when they break compatibility few people are going to want to switch to their service as long as there’s still enough people here to talk to.

Not to downplay the threat of EEE, we need to remain vigilant. Our best defenses are preemptive defederation or shitposting how we never see ads.

Is a hammer a cosmic ray in this example?
