You haven’t heard of any advancements in energy storage at all?

Not that we need them, the best energy storage is old AF and excellent

That’s why they mentioned “pumped hydro”

The USA specifically has so much useless land with minimal ecological value, that if an energy project could actually be done at a federal level we could probably not have to worry about it.

There is a whole bunch of land in central USA that is not especially unique or teaming with life, slap down a big renewable energy farm.

I agree it’s safe but idk it’s the best we currently have, I think that probably depends on locale.

Solar and wind (and maybe tidal?), with pumped hydro energy storage is probably cheaper, safer, and cleaner… But it requires access to a fair bit more water than a nuclear plant requires, at least initially.

But nuclear is still far better than using fossil fuels for baseline demand.

Hmmm interesting. I was under the impression that enshitification was “making something shittier in the pursuit of (eg) greed”, I didn’t realize that it only applies to when the creator (controller? owner?) of the thing does it.

Has it always been used for this specific case? If so, what is the word for the more general case I described?

You make it sound like monetization can’t happen on a FOSS platform. Bots are a form of monetization, it’s just not by the people who created and control the platform.

As it gets popular, bots will come for the purpose of creating an audience and monetizing them.

That’s not agile.

It’s not bad, it’s just not agile. Agile exists for projects where that simply isn’t possible. Its sacrificing a bit of potential best-case productivity to ensure you don’t get worst-case productivity.

The problem is that people realized that they could sell agile training to middle management if they changed it to be about making middle managers feel empowered and giving progress visibility to upper management.

Don’t underestimate my ability to be both

This healthbar in a previous attempt, tho 🤣

YOU are the final boss 🫵!

I am my own greatest challenge and toughest enemy. I have put myself through the ringer, but one day I will defeat myself!

I’ma be honest, as I was making it, I forgot what the theme was and thought it was “the final boss”. But I had already committed to the idea, so here it is in it’s depressing epic glory. Now where did I put my pill planner?

Poe’s Law, in action

But really though. Dresses look fun. If I had a body to pull it off, maybe I’d give it a go.

But I don’t think I could deal with even more social ridicule than I already face lol

What???

I’m totally cis and I think that all the ti… ooohhhh

It seems like our socialized healthcare doesn’t cover our sarcasm detector organ 😅

Lol well, fair enough!

I still aggressively assert that it still benefits humanity to protect each other, even people who don’t know they need it.

But that’s a pretty reasonable response, I have to admit lol

Fair criticism.

The chef was fired, it is unacceptable to skimp on the cheese

Throwing babies in the deep end is how you get a lot of dead babies who would have grown up to be excellent swimmers.

Like, you fail to understand that youre first on the chopping block if we start to push darwinism. You wouldn’t be sacrificing yourself, you’d just be the first to go.

But in those cases, isn’t fear supposed to be balanced by some reward? Competing instincts/motivations?

Why is it always the people who most need OSHA who want it removed.

Why is it always the least fit people who want to promote survival of the fittest?
