Eh. No jokes, no. The most engaging thing I remember seeing around in the city was a “vote” panel for cigarette butts with silly questions; but even that has gone away.
It is unfortunate that we’re at this point. Hopefully other places do fare better.
People throw their waste everywhere because there’s not enough waste bins in comfortable walking distance
I see almost daily people throwing trash on the street in front of an empty recycle bin. I think the issue is more about people not giving a shit than convenience of finding a trashcan or keeping stuff in your pocket until you do.
It’s been tried a bit before, but didn’t get through. The current situation with secure boot is worrying, because we’re one manufacturer playing ball away from it to become a reality.
I’d like to say there’s strong incentive to not do that, but it seems that logic alone would not stop this kind of push. And weirdly enough, even financial risk might not be enough, as we’ve seen baffling decisions made these last few months.
The main saving graces is that there are more than two manufacturer for motherboard, and as far as I know, patent lockdown and secrecy isn’t as big on PC hardware than on mobile boards, so it might be easier to escape such lockdown. But fully locked down systems under external control is clearly where some people wants us to go.
that puts this neck and neck with other recent genocides
The fact that this sentence can be said, unironically, and backed with data, is kinda depressing.
It’s being used for what it’s very good at. That means very little applications (although there are some), on a different scale, and certainly nothing that can promise a quick buck for free. Basically, empty promises just farted out.
Most of the real world usage were bogus, either because they did not actually work as advertised, or because they had lots of negative properties for businesses (imagine a system that would try to prevent fraud if done well… nobody wants that). There’s also the issue that a lot of “funky, interesting stuff”, once you filtered out the bad and the ugly, were just… less efficient, less useful versions of what we already used to do.
There are still people clinging to it (and the recent fuckery in the US might revive that… although for all the bad reasons), but the press moved forward to the next thing.
How can it be too late if he didn’t do it, but just planned to do it sometimes later… wait…
Lives gets destroyed, everyone pay for it, money is diverted from actually useful stuff, but all this is a low price to pay for a handful of mafia bosses to get even richer.
A crash? I’d say we’re in a plane from which the pilot decided to press the “eject wings” button.
People don’t care. as long as they can get their infinite scroll with funny picture, they’re happy.
I find it reassuring that some people are not proud of grabbing random people off the street to send them to their death with a smile.
Planes they already have can’t really be grounded immediately without replacements. Buying replacements takes time and money. Negotiating contracts also takes time. Pre existing contracts tying a company to boeing probably exist in some places. There’s probably some incentive to not drop a somewhat strategic business on a whim. And maybe some people believe that boeing will start pulling their head out of their ass at some point.
And all that would be a hindrance assuming there is a will to stop buying boeing planes, AND move to another, potentially foreign business like Airbus.
The more Ukraine do that, the less everyone else have to do it. Good.
Don’t worry. For most of them when they start understanding that their very existence is seen as a burden, they’ll be happy to say “I’m sacrificing myself for America!”. And die forgotten in a gutter.
Brainwashing can go very far.
I’d say your sexuality is “I like traditionally feminine people”.
A bucket of bullets does not sound that threatening. A bucket of battery acid, tepid water, or mud, a bit more. Although I would not recommend escalating stuff in general, people fucking around pets needs that sometimes.
I hope she’s not sent to a death camp before a court have a chance to say anything, because that’s also a thing that can happen.
I’m not sure if he’ll get unalived with funny prejudice, but if I had to give pointers, don’t aim for the head, it’s unlikely to hit any vital organ in there.
You only see the PR stunts. And probably only the good ones.
That was true a long time ago. And remains true in some places, but since we started pushing the different bins, things progressed on that front. Plenty of place have actual recycling facilities (although their efficiency is another topic). Of course, in some far away area, it is not practical to sort stuff, but it’s kind of a chicken and egg problem. Infrastructure see no point in making large facilities for processing recyclable if they’re not sorted, and people see no point in sorting their trash if the infrastructure isn’t available. Putting colored recycling bins everywhere to initiate the process was cheaper.
