It’s not AI but the system making use of it which has been, is and will continue to be the problem.

Give a group of capitalists a single stick and they might hit one another to own it. Give them a single nuke and…?

Very hopeful! Very cautiously, carefully and reservedly very hopeful.

The success story suggests that a smoke-free society can be attained more swiftly through a comprehensive, non-prohibitionist approach. This involves embracing both traditional measures and innovative solutions, catering to individual preferences, ensuring affordability, and providing easy access to safer nicotine alternatives.

Seems obvious when you put it like that. Banning can create a sort of Streisand effect, and steadily increasing tax doesn’t do much at all. Hope the safer alternatives don’t incentivise excessive usage.

We’ll prod mother nature to product more water for us. The hubris is mind blowing.

Some people really think we are masters of the universe and have only each other to compete with.

It does seem like a move designed to both placate and stir the hive. I think there are 17 goals, most are behind.

Moved into a new apartment after a remote work trip through europe.

Got necessary furniture, whitegoods and home wares, set up utilities. Started a new job, and managed my side business during off hours. Started learning Rust because i aim to contribute in small ways to Lemmy and build a ui. Had a sesh with my delta green group.

Was a busy week, but i feel oddly addicted to the level of activity. Learning rust is going a bit slow but I’m enjoying it!

Don’t remove half the game!

Ah yes! I followed burnout and pgr. Also rally sport challenge was pretty special.

Some good recommends here, cheers!

Up until a week ago, it was in person. Now I’m looking at virtual tabletops.

Trackmania! Man, the original was a hoot and i spent way too long in Trackmania; Sunrise. The tracks are still second to none, and the track editor; powerful. It allows you to save as many ghosts as you want and then produce a video. This was mind blowing to a younger me; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UcQmJwTnBg

Moved into a new place, need to get some stuff for my home. Like towels, lamps, mat, utensil tray, bin, plastic containers… I’m headed to a factory outlet and I’ll try not to get carried away.

Might get a sound system if I’m not careful

Good points and well written! Would give you gold if i could. The word fragmented in this context has positive connotations of resiliency, variety and freedom.

Did an adhoc eurotrip from east to west. Porto in Portugal was fantastic. Colourful city and people. It spans a river edged with cliffs. As the sun sets a dense fog rolls down the river from the sea and blankets the place. When the city lights turn on through the fog, it looks magical.

Agreed… Augmented reality is going to be a nightmare hahah

There are ways around adds; alternative apps, addblockers, roms and privacy focused browsers. The only mandatory adds are on street corners imo

If adblockers didn’t work, I’d be living alone in the woods somewhere.
