Well it sets an upper bound on compute requirements at ‘simulate 10^27 atoms for thirty years’ remains to be seen if what we can optimize away ever converges with what’s feasible to build.

It would become Twitter.

Can’t wait for the bots to tell us what they learned about b2b marketing!

I agree strongly with your gut reaction. I personally use it as the archive of record whenever I digitize some media that would otherwise be lost. I use it when trying to establish how something looked in the past. I don’t need IA to go out and pick losing fights with publishers at the expense of the excellent services they already provide.

It should be noted that if you want digital book loans Libby is fine.

Now you see why Romulans ended up a recurring villain… very strong start. Compare that to how long they took to bring back the Gorn!

I still don’t understand why IA picked a fight with publishers with the emergency library.

IA provides a really valuable service and they’re an incredibly juicy target. Going on anti-copyright crusades isn’t their mission.

MacOS was just about as jank as Windows 9x by my recollection.

The screen was nice, the USB support was nice. I didn’t hate the keyboard, though I was used to an IBM Model M so I hammered those keys…

For the tower defense enthusiast.

Did it look cool? Yeah it looked awesome. But was it ever going to be sustainable, budget-wise?

If students hide their phones instead of being distracted by them, isn’t that mission accomplished?

Came here to post Tech Won’t Save Us.

Never heard of the company or the system, is this any good? I tried running off brand trek with SWN before and it went ok, but I’d love a system for running specifically trek themed adventures… A solo system is great too, since I only have one player besides myself!

RAIL has its own problems-the use restrictions make it very different from normal open source models.

He’s not wrong to call Mastodon users weirdos I suppose, but I wanted to talk to fellow weirdos anyway so it serves my purposes well.

I think it’s a base model 3, no gobs of memory. I don’t use it for anything especially taxing, just file storage and occasionally streaming music or low-resolution video. The bottleneck is the slow WD Archive hard drive.

My setup is a raspberry pi with a large external hard drive running smbd, and it works fine.

Thanks for making an RSS feed, subscribed!

I need to check back on reddit to see if my GDPR request has completed. It hasn’t yet and they don’t retain it for long. I might keep going on the few subs I go on, I suppose. I suffered though mobile web reddit all these years anyway. But if the mods strike again, I of course won’t cross the picket line.

I like games that indulge my poor impulse control and reward risk-taking and recklessness. Battle Royale games seem to be the exact opposite of this, which I think is why they rub me the wrong way. I don’t want twenty minutes if waiting only to die in ten seconds, I wanna die over and over for twenty minutes and maybe still win the match.
