Are we really going to have to start saying 'genos-unaliving' to get around content filters?

It's not especially challenging if we simply refuse. 2% is fine.

Of course the idea is that 5% of our budget goes to American weapons. Just another shakedown attempt from the wannabe gangster president.

I wasn't expecting an article from windowscentral.com to be that pro-SteamOS over Windows.

People understand the concept of, "no infinite growth on a finite planet," but then refuse to accept that that holds true for us as well. The world population has more than doubled in my lifetime. Obviously we can't do that forever. Especially in the context of a climate crisis that is making less land livable over time. For completely practical reasons we are going to have to set up some kind of system that can function in equilibrium rather than requiring growth.

Observing from outside, UK politics looks really grim.

These things had such little impact I had entirely forgotten they were a thing that happened.

"What you end up having is lower quality."

Gosh, who could see such a thing happening? It was totally impossible not to be blindsided by this. Literally nobody, ever, warned that this was likely.

He's still a total dumbass not to have accepted his fate as a one term president from the get-go, dip and give the Democrats the usual amount of time to choose a successor rather than the truncated run Harris made.

He developed a cult of personality around himself of significant size and used it to seize one of two pillars of political power in the USA, which then propelled him to power twice. Not smart as in "good for the world," but pretty successful in the, "empowering and enriching oneself at the cost of the commons" sense.
