Short: In the game you have the option to supplement pops with robots and eventually turn your pops into machines. It’s also a 40k mechanicus joke.

Long: Machines will supplement workforce. So we don’t need more pops when the pops are getting more efficient. Having too many spares will just add more food demand which will drain resources better allocated elsewhere. Have to balance growth with jobs and resources if you want to win. Min max FTW!

Status -Konsum: Invidious, piped, NewPipe, FreeTube werden geblockt ( mit Googlekonto), scheint noch nicht geblockt zu werden. Das blockt die behämmerte Werbung natürlich nicht, aber halt ungerichtete, gestern was auf Skandinavisch. Ton aus, warten, nervt, aber generiert keine validen !? Ist das auch euer Status?

Hatte YouTube mit Kondom gerade als Fortbildungsmedium z.B. zu IT-Themen entdeckt, und natürlich auch zur Unterhaltung. Musik, Reactions.

Wie kriegen wir die ohne unmittelbares bloß ins und / oder wenigstens auf , wenigstens als Crossposts, also, parallele Veröffentlichungen? Der ZWANG in die , für immer mehr Daten in ihre »«-Datenbasen, zeichnet sich immer mehr ab.

Wir fokussieren in der Menschenrechts-Datenschutz-Blase klaro auf Politik/»Brot«. »Spiele« sind genauso wichtig, sie reproduzieren .

NewPipe erhält reproduzierbar den http-Status-response 403 (forbidden) bei mir. Und in piped.kavin.rocks im Browser am PC heißt es reproduzierbar: Login to show you are not a bot, o.ä. FreeTube am PC bekommt ebenfalls keinerlei Videos mehr von googlevideo. Ich probiere Libretube, und Invidious im Browser.

I know many autistic individuals (myself included) who (on the whole) are not assholes.

on the contrary I find the vast majority to be very concerned about "doing the right thing"

unfortunately all you need to be an asshole is a desire to be said asshole.

As such, echo the sentiments of others here and say ditch that person.

The "Oh I'm not an asshole/racist/sexist/etc ... I'm autistic!" argument didn't work for Musk and it won't work for others.

he can still be autistic AND an asshole.

DoctorDisco OP ,
@DoctorDisco@mendeddrum.org avatar

I should add, for completeness sakes, I am not without my own periods of assholery.

I do constantly strive to avoid it.. but occasionally, it rears its ugly head(s).

However, I go on record to say I've never been a major asshole.. just a minor garden variety asshole.. espousing my strongly held opinons over trivial matters blown out of all proportion :) hehe

Can we start a radical optimism thread? Because I need a optimism thread. And I think you need a thread.

News. Quotes. Music. Thoughts. Whatever.

I'll start:

"You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time." --Angela Davis

If this gets any traction, please boost, especially the replies. You and I are not the only ones that need this right now.

““This kind of AI that can reproduce content similar to what it ingested poses an existential threat to the writing profession and to the publishing industry—if it’s unchecked,” says Mary Rasenberger, CEO of the Authors Guild. “A lot of people who aren’t in the industry don’t realize how precarious the profession is and how uneven the business is.”

Let me see if I understand this correctly.

The printing cost of my book is $10.78.

The minimum list price allowed is $17.97, on which I earn nothing.

takes $7.19 for itself.

1/2

SimonRoyHughes OP ,
@SimonRoyHughes@thefolklore.cafe avatar

If I bump up the price to an arbitrary $25.00, the printing cost remains at $10.78.

I would earn $4.22, which they claim is 60% of the royalty.

The remaining 40% works out to be $2.81.

pockets the aforementioned $7.19, then takes a 40% cut of the claimed royalty.

takes $10.00 on a book that makes the author $4.22.

I'm an alien in a human suit. I don't know how to human. So I copy. People I'm with. People from tv shows, movies, games, podcasts. Mostly the latter since my social contacts are not really... existing these days.

I was always the oddball, the one that was a bit weird. So I copied. To fit in. Now I'm 47, and I have no idea who I am. Wonder if I'll ever meet me. The real me. Would be nice.

@undefined_variable I refuse to give up on that tiny sliver of hope that I'm just an alien with amnesia, stranded on a fucked up planet, and will one day again be with my people. 🙈 At least it's good to know I'm not alone. 👽 👋

"As a woman with , Kate will talk about the gender discrepancy in autism diagnoses. Women and girls often display completely different behaviors than what people have been taught to associate with autism, which affects when and how (and if) they are diagnosed. Autism being diagnosed at a younger age leads to a higher chance of that child receiving evidence-based treatment, which can help with better life outcomes. This discrepancy is why Kate wants to encourage more research be done on symptoms of autism in women and girls so that they can be more easily and accurately diagnosed in the future." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbes1mm2VgM&ab_channel=TEDxTalks
