He didn't even want to buy Twitter, just manipulate the stock price by talking about buying it. Dumbass signed too much paperwork and waived too many rights, though, and found himself obligated to buy it anyway. Pretty sure he tried to fight it and lost.

So now he's trying to not burn all his money, but he's fucking terrible at it, so he's just becoming a laughing stock.

Running a server is very doable. There are packages to deploy and configure almost everything for you and removing a ton of headache.

Getting your email recognized as not spam by the major providers is pretty much impossible. You need all sorts of stuff to help verify integrity including special DNS records and public identity keys, but even if you do everything right, your mail can very easily get black holed before it even reaches a user's inbox because of stupid shit like someone abused your rented server's IP years ago, and you can't seem to get it off everyone's lists.

Email as a decentralized tool has effectively been ruined by spam and anti-spam measures. You're effectively forced to use a provider because it's near impossible to make your outgoing mail work as an individual. I think some of those anti-spam measures are anticompetitive, but I do think some are just desperate attempts to reduce the massive flow of spam.

I'm not disputing that they want to use AI. I'm disputing the idea that the military doesn't care about climate change. Climate change will cause instability and greatly increase the odds of them having to actually fight. As much as the military enjoys a good flex now and then, they generally prefer to win without fighting.

I'm pretty sure the military cares, at least to the extent that it will cause instability. I'm 99% sure there's something from the Pentagon to support that. I wanna say Pentagon wants us to address it before it starts making them do their job a whole lot more.

You're focusing on the non victory and ignoring the failures. Cowards.

That's not true, they successfully did their job of protecting capital and the owner class. Same reason they don't go after Trump. He's in the owner class, so their job is to serve and protect him.

It does limit choice, but so long as you aren't retaining the generation list somewhere an attacker can find it, how are they to know your list? As long as your list is incorporating less common words, your attacker can't even simplify the problem by focusing on the most common words. Just one rare word can expand the list they need to use by tens of thousands of words.

Trigun is a fucking classic. I need to start Trigun Stampede and see how that is... I'm skeptical, but it deserves a shot.

Aw poor corporate behemoth doesn't want to spend the pennies (compared to profits) to do things right. If we're being fair, fuck them for cheaping out at our expense.

How does it stay net negative? Carbon goes into the fuel, which is good, but doesn't like all of it come back out when burned for fuel? My understanding is that these fuels can only really achieve neutrality, and that assumes clean energy used to make the fuel.

But if it's used as fuel, wouldn't that typically return the CO~2~? Just about all fuels are burned, which creates the CO~2~, and you have to make sure the energy you use to make and transport the fuel is clean, too.

For real, was like damn, McDonald's charging that much for uniforms? Because that's a McDonald's unif- oh.

Yeah, the core plot idea was pretty much the same, but the way it played out was pretty different. The whole thing stays way more low key, and I wanna say the whole jail thing never happened. It's been a long time since I read either version, so I'm fuzzy on the details, but it definitely got a significant rework for publication.

I've tried to find a copy of the original before, and I think I found a poorly cloned website with the original links a few years ago, not updated to point at the new clone so I had to tweak it every time to continue. I'd love to get it converted to an ebook so I could archive it, but I haven't tried in years now.
