I think this has value even if it doesn’t cause immediate change. People need to just get out and express how they’re feeling and network with like minded people instead of sitting online doomscrolling. We’ve got to organize.

That’s been the case since '16. Things need to change at the DNC because maga sure as shit aren’t going away.

Another point is that cars, car infrastructure, and car oriented development is one of the single most wasteful ways to use land. Building smarter cities with alternative transit systems, mixed use areas, and actually using all 3 dimensions like many newer cities in China could protect so much habitat from needlessly being destroyed. There’s hardly any truly wild land left on the east coast, it’s hard to tell what things used to look like now that practically everything is covered in suburbs and strip malls.

I can see this going wrong with steam proton if each install gets it’s own wine config, simply reinstalling or updating might look like a new machine

Yeah my SO and I are too busy with bg3, maybe by the time we get to it it’ll have a coop mod ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I’m excited Ukraine is developing a strategy that is working for them. Autonomous drones are the inevitable next step imo, ai chips are getting cheaper and cheaper. For example, you give a swarm a set of targets and it knows exactly what it needs to do to reach the target and exactly where to hit, release thousands of them and train a model that can run on cheap, low power hardware and boom you have a serious, serious problem if even 1% of them are successful because they’ll be functional entirely on their own offline. Add onto that they use off the shelf hardware and it becomes nearly impossible to blame anyone for any given attack.

I disagree, transit is hard when everything is so far apart. Cities need to develop first for the transit to follow, not the other way around otherwise they’re doomed to fail. Using the subway in LA is pretty useless compared to NYC because the distance you need to travel is far greater to get to the city center. The transition back to good city design won’t be easy or convenient
