How many hamburgers is that?

Hey now let’s give them some credit, they may also drink poison and die without their thinking machine.

The critique of fascism that is the Enclave, specifically in Fallout 2. As much as they are my favorite bad guy faction that is partially because of how well the critique works. They have the cool weapons, they have the style, and the have an awesome front man in the form of Frank Horrigan, but when it comes down to it they’re a bunch of weirdos hiding on an old oil rig clinging to ancient symbols while planning on commiting omnicide so they don’t have to actually work for anything.

Similarly the NCR is a great critique of liberalism in New Vegas, falling into the same pitfalls as the old world but with the potential to improve. For new world hope to bloom wherein the Enclave hold onto old world blues.

Or maybe I’m looking too far into the funny power armor and super mutant post apocalyptic games. Though I don’t think I am because the Interplay alumni are all philosophy and history eating crackheads and I see through them!

There are two exceptions to this still, STALKER Gamma doesn’t work on Linux still and SKSEx64 doesn’t work either. Also modding Baldurs gate 3 through Nexus is fucky.

You could just install an Air conditioner? Like if you are spending enough time in the garage to need climate control it’d probably be worth it, unless the walls are brick but thats probably the exception. Like my garage has an AC and it’s fucken ancient, but it’s there probably doesn’t work though I doubt anyone has tested that for the last 27 years.

Thanks friend, and while I may mourne I know he is with the Allfather and the host of the Wild Hunt. May he punish the fool and reward the clever when the host goes to hunt.

I also need to find the dremel to carve his burial marker.

Mü. Had him since either middle school or highschool. This is from a few days ago, his health slowly failed him for about a week.

He passed away yesterday. It was peaceful though.

We can always gun for glory through selfless action, still selfish reasons but good results.

I doubt we can remove the neurological component, let alone without it fucking up. Greed is an abstraction of our old survival instincts since as a general rule the tribe, clan, village or whatever would counter the worst effects. The end goal should be to reimplement those social control mechanisms, what that looks like is probably regulation’s and maybe beating some folks over the head with a 2x4.

You can always just block seeing the instance. Sure you still see them mulling about the rest of Lemmy but generally they’re better behaved when interacting with everyone else.

No don’t listen to them! The fires must spread for ash is a grand fertilizer so burn it all! Also fuck Moreno Valley, sincerely an Inland Imperial Hick.

Possibly but the 90s were peak BS R&D only really behind WW2 R&D, fucky caseless munitions, weird computer warfare experiments, early modern drones, Et cetera. Mind you the damned thing may have only worked once on a fluke but it’s well within believablity given everything else being fucked with at the time.

Small EMPs are relatively easy to generate and if memory serves there was at least one test in the 90s that was basically an EMP generator that could be shoved into a moving van suck off the grid and then go off. There has been relatively little open research on this subject for obvious reasons.

It’s psychological in nature, reminder a lot of rich pissants style themselves as futurists.

So what you’re saying is that it’s Reagans star wars program? A way of forcing unsustainable growth into a rival power at effectively no cost. Ya know history doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme, so what will the US equivalent of “Mr. Gorbachev tear down that wall be”? Or will it be more a wailing from inside the Whitehouse bunker as mustard gas is pumped in and the doors welded shut.

No I brute forced it via shit throwing.

The only time I’ve even seen the fediverse pop up in a search was when I was doing some black magic nonsense getting Linux to do what I wanted. Yes it was a Linux community no it didn’t help.

Hey now let’s be fair, not all of it is AI propaganda. Some of it is shrimp Jesus. Mind you that also started as propaganda but it’s since devolved into something so much more fascinating, namely because how the fuck do you even get to shrimp Jesus.

You just triggered an old memory. Back when I was like 7 I remember watching some type of military debate on some type of public access thing, I think it was military historians and active duty guys talking about military communication over history interesting shit. Anyways something they say that’s kinda stuck with me was the worry of degrading autonomy within the military due to ever increasing ever improving communication capabilities and how it may get to the point that units become effectively headless should communications be disrupted.

So what happens when leadership becomes reliant on AI tools and the data centers become inoperable? Because frankly that may be an actual worry sooner than later, or advantage depending on the longevity of the federal government.
