It doesn't have to be AGI, though it'd certainly help. It could be a Machine Learning algorithm (the stuff we call AI in marketing today). It just needs a lot of data to train on to recognize what we want to bring and what we don't. It's actually a particularly good application for ML.

With that said, they do have the computer, which seems to be pretty complex and potentially an AGI. There's also Data in TNG that is certainly an AGI. I don't think it's an issue.

I use a Chemex, and I have used Fedora. I'm on Garuda now, which is my favorite, which is Arch based but with extra stuff, so the Chemex makes a lot of sense (fancy pour-over).

I saw a chart about a poll on this. Supposedly, if the data was correct, almost every swing state would have gone for Harris if people who said they didn't vote because of this issue had voted. Pretty much every poll this cycle was not accurate, so I don't put that much faith in that one either.

That probably ideal, but it should still be spread out so the "less important" projects still get something.

Donations add up. If everyone did what you're proposing, many projects would likely get no donations. Ideally everyone would donate a small amount to every project they use, which would all add together to be a sizable amount for all projects that are frequently used.

We aren't all one person. We don't need to all act as if we're one. We should act as if we're a community, because we are. Support all projects, and they'll all get support.

Yep. I know there was recently a very dumb push against SBMM, but it's required for modern gaming in most contexts now. There's a lot more players now, so some of them are incredibly skilled, and others are incredibly bad. We don't really want them mixing if they're playing competitively.

It also used to be that most of our games were pretty casual. Most of CS wasn't the competitive DE mode we all play today. There were tons of servers playing custom silly game modes (and there still are!), but most players only play comp or (confusingly) still competitive unranked modes. Most games don't have casual game modes anymore that are designed for just goofing around.

Everything that isn't Firefox is just a skin of Chromium, which is controlled by Google. There are no good options for browsers if you don't want Firefox.

I can see a lot of pros and cons, and I don't think we can know what is best without a longer-term trial. There'll be some trolling and harassment that comes with it, which is really bad, but also it allows user filtering of spam and junk posts, which is good. Hopefully there's less of the former and more of the latter.

At the speed cars move at, air behaves much like water. They're both fluids. The faster you move the more resistance it has, but also the more dense the fluid is the more resistance it has. Moving quickly through the air is similar to moving slowly through water.

Fascism hasn't taken over yet, and just because the Fascists won the election doesn't mean we should let them have it. Build a community that supports you and join mutual aid groups in your area. Don't just accept that they won and let that be the end.

We're in a better place for more people than we have been in the past. Remember the sacrifices they've made to let us be in this world and fight in their memory. We can come out of this stronger than we were. It's going to suck, but don't let them take hope from you.

It's probably to use up any extra energy added to the grid from clean sources while turning a profit (or only a small loss at worst) on it, therefor keeping a demand for coal. If suddenly we have more power than we need we start closing coal plants. These people always say "let's build green energy and coal until we get enough green energy that we can stop" and then just increase energy demands so we can never reach that point.

No, there's no need here. I'm sure they have some votes counted, but they have a model and if the votes match the model they can, with pretty good confidence, call it early. There wasn't a chance here really and when they see the votes start going the predicted direction they know nothing crazy happened to flip it.
