This was shown before the sentencing. The judge referenced it explicitly in their sentencing as a reason to apply leniency.

From a comment above:

Here’s what the judge had to say:

“I loved that AI, and thank you for that. As angry as you are, and as justifiably angry as the family is, I heard the forgiveness, and I know Mr. Horcasitas could appreciate it, but so did I,” Lang said immediately before sentencing Horcasitas. “I love the beauty in what Christopher, and I call him Christopher—I always call people by their last names, it’s a formality of the court—but I feel like calling him Christopher as we’ve gotten to know him today. I feel that that was genuine, because obviously the forgiveness of Mr. Horcasitas reflects the character I heard about today. But it also says something about the family, because you told me how angry you were, and you demanded the maximum sentence. And even though that’s what you wanted, you allowed Chris to speak from his heart as you saw it. I didn’t hear him asking for the maximum sentence.”

Of course. Look at the “network state” concept that the alt right tech bros love.

Tiny nation states ruled by the elites, where laws and rights are set not by a wide ranging view of human rights, but by those in power. One of your only rights is the ability to leave. To where? Who knows, and surely nit with all your valuables going with you. No voting, not basic dignity, nothing else if the techo kings dont want to provide it. Corpo kings, contract as the only law.

The end state of the above and fascism is the same. A ruling class that sets the rules, and a citizenry that has to abide by them, or else.

Is it literal fascism? Who knows. Are you under the boot of a privileged class, at the full mercy of their whims just like monarchy or fascism? Yes indeed.

Wired, wireless. A flared base is the actual key.

Holy fuck. Red truck, pale fuck, blue truck. Red, white and blue.

His profile pic is a flag.

D works well. Being dead puts you in a decent “no one to fool with” category.

Fucker cant even do a prat fall at this point.

Websites are basic as shit to stand up now, especially when they dont do shit like 4chan.

They probably tossed that fucker up on wix.com. I bet it dramatically improved their security.

Glaciers take millions of years to deposit boulders across the land.

Humans: “we can do better.”

10am to 3am better have been all 3 shifts. A 17hr day is just not fucking okay, especially because im sure they didn’t pay you OT.

Somewhat common to take any job if youre desperate, but keep interviewing. Sounds like she had at least two jobs lined up at once, and her second, and likely better, job got back to her the same day she started with your company.

Sounds like she made the right call.

EVs have drastically reduced maintenance compared to most cars. It’s fully possible they wont have to pay Tesla anymore money, especially if they opt for home charging or use non Tesla charging stations.

Ive been using pop-os for my desktop for years. Ive had no update headaches, roll back issues, or anything else that would compel me to swap distros for one that made these things better.

So to answer your question:

None of the above are compelling features that justify the work to switch off an already very stable distro.

The existential horror story Lena comes to mind.

It’s excellent, but horrible.

They had near 100% EV market share just a few years back.

Losing half the market in 3-4 years is a huge change for any company, even if some of it was inevitable as rivals caught up and suprassed their offerings.

20TB hard drives are around $300/each. 12 gets you there with excellent redundancy built in.

Toss them in one of these and you have 200TB, with redundancy and room to grow.

Not cheap to do, but the above would only run about 5-6k.

We have these. They are called funiculars

This is the world’s largest thorium reactor. There have been other experimental ideas, but not many operational ones. The next largest operational Thorium reactor I can find is called kamini in India, which is 30kw. For scale, China’s reactor is 2000kw.

3Okw is a toy. That would power maybe 10 US homes. 2000kw? That’s more like 600 homes. Small, but usable. Fits the SMR niche well, actually. Making 1/1000th of the radioactive waste and basically no weapons grade materials locks in there too.

The article makes it very clear its running continuously, which is what they are celebrating. They have successfully refueled it while operating, which is a huge part of the “continuous.”

The article is all of 6 paragraphs. It’s not a difficult read.

Fascism is when government and corporate powers fully mix.

So literally yes. This is proto-facism, writ large.

That “less than a single year” was at the beginning of covid, and his malicious and cavalier response to a global plague hitting american shores led to a million dead Americans.

He was way more impactful about what happened with covid then anyone else, from allowing people to fly in unscreened to the states, from refusing to send out masks and tests, to pushing UV/disinfectant/invermeton, for refusing to help blue states early on because “it was good politically,” on and on and on.

Using the stock market growth of the last 2 decades of global, neoliberal economic politics to council people to “think long term” about their investments at the start of isolationist, fascist economics policy is maybe not the best idea.

“Look at the past” only works when the past is still relevant. They are ripping up every norm and institution that made those past gains possible.

6 x 6 mothefuckers. Y’all tell me that didn’t immediately form “36” in your brain.
