Kobolds with a keyboard.
Couple years ago, lightning struck a tree on our neighbor’s property across the street. We didn’t see the strike, but we heard it; the tree basically exploded. Some of the branches fell onto the power lines and started an electrical fire, so it was a whole big thing. Bunch of people standing out on their driveways watching the police and fire department trying to deal with it.
Tangential to the point of the article, but this:
Mitchell described how preppers make ready for specific forms of societal collapse, based not on the likelihood of the event itself, but rather, based on how useful they would be in that situation. For example, a water chemist has made extensive preparations for an event in which terrorists poison the water-supply. When pressed, he couldn’t explain why terrorists would choose his town to target with an attack like this, but basically thought it would be really cool if the only person who could save his town was him.
actually strikes me as the best / sanest form of prepping, as long as everyone does it. Imagine a scenario where the water chemist has a plan to save their town from a contaminated water supply, the electrical engineer has a plan to save their town from a wide-spread power grid failure, the EMT has a plan to save their town from the collapse of the emergency response system, etc., such that no matter what disaster befalls them, someone is there who’s ready to step in and apply their expertise for the betterment of the community as a whole.
Ah yes, my favorite DOS games, Red Alert and Unreal Tournament.
Well, thanks for bringing Epigraph to my attention!
I firmly believe that anything “written off” in that manner - this includes movies, too, in particular - should have to be released into the public domain as part of that process.
Any business that’s paying less taxes is harming the public good; we should at least benefit in some small way from that.
The headline is a little misleading, no? He is offering for sale 10 tonnes of old rope as art for £1m; the article certainly does not mention him having found a buyer, which the headline implies.
The young people won’t pursue a career in music. Why would they?
MIDI didn’t stop people from playing instruments. Digital art didn’t stop people from painting. AI can’t put on live performances.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like AI taking peoples’ artistic jobs any more than anyone else, but I do think this is a bit of an extreme take.
Serious question: Let’s say you hear a song on Spotify, and you like it, add it to your favorites, etc., then later find out it was AI. Do you stop enjoying it? If so, why?
Oh, man - I can do you one better. I still have one of these, still hooked up and running. We use it as a game server for some low-requirement stuff… currently Vintage Story.
Yeah, I mean, the law is a bit weird, seems far too broad, but I’m not from Denmark, so maybe it’s a cultural difference. Regardless, there was a law on the books, the mod violated it, and is being punished in accordance with it.
He was also charged with sharing over 25 terabytes of pirated content, using a private torrent tracker called Superbits.org, TorrentFreak noted.
There’s also this bit… That’s a bit weirdly worded, though. Did he share 25 TB of unique content, or did he upload 25 TB in total? Big difference there.
Okay, be honest - you’re doing some sort of lemmy ban speedrun challenge, aren’t you.
I don’t think the rest of the world is like 🤷♂️ at all, there’s been protests and uproars all over the world in support of Palestine. It’s just that the governments of the rest of the world are like 🤷♂️.
For what it’s worth, this wired alternative is almost identical to an xbox one controller except for the rumble motor, which is markedly lower quality. If that doesn’t bother you, it’s also less than half the price, and works out of the box in all distros I’ve tried.
If you want a buzz cut (something you can do with clippers and a single length attachment), doing it yourself is really no problem at all. If you want something more complex, you probably want to see a professional.
An even scarier thought is that the Bible could actually be making them seem way better than they are in reality.
Would be hilarious if people just kept going and putting more eyes on it every time they removed them.
This seems… so completely not worth getting upset over. What image was supposedly censored?
That was our feeling, too - if we did lose everything, we have digital backups of those documents. The chances are obviously low of having a fire, but that’s not really the point… the intent is to plan for the “what if” scenario. If you want 100% fire safety, you store things off-site, but this was an acceptable level of risk for the cost, for us. You mention floods; these boxes are rated for much longer in water, so they might be applicable to your use-case.
Aww man, I didn’t know there was an official soundtrack for Antifa! Germans get all the cool stuff.
