While I might not get out much, every young person I see doing this, has wireless earbuds/headphones of some sort. Like all of them… like they’re repping their brand or something. on one hand it comes off as out of touch, and oblivious to the world, but also I don’t have to hear what they’re watching, and I’m not an angry boomer, so I just shrug it off and move on with life.

The problem is that people won’t move until their audience there and their audience won’t move until they are there.
And mastodon is a bit less straightforward compared to old Twitter.

No more than a 13yo who wants to get on the 12yo and younger playground because it’s the only one around and has a hella sweet slide.

Profiles in Courage - John F. Kennedy
Should have stuck to being a president… maybe it’d land differently now, but in like 9th grade, it was a total slog.

This is one of those toddler things where everyone can look and say “you’re only hurting yourself here”. Like who cares? They’re unused roads/tracks. This does literally nothing. NK, this isn’t even a show of strength… like any country can get some tnt and blow up a section of unused roadway.

I bought this months ago right after update 5. Figured I’d get my $20 out of it and move on… now that I’m over 100hrs, they throw this out and I’m back in there making aqua ducts.
Not to mention they opened it up to modding and custom maps, this update added quite a bit. If you like city building management sims this is a must play. I’ve honestly played more of it than City Skylines. Just struck a chord with me.

Likely both of those could be much much smaller for 2024 because it’s just streaming the data so the updates and installation size are smaller since it’s all coming in real time while playing instead of having to be installed before playing.

You joke about the install size, I’m more annoyed at the constant 1-2hr updates preventing me from playing when I have 20 free minutes.

As soon as they shut down the 3ds store I was like “well, it’s open hacking season!” Honestly, it’s pretty cool. Highly recommend.

To be fair I think most people think it (and other countries) should be able to defend itself… it’s just that they went from defense to all out genocide like a year ago.
The current party doesn’t know where that line is while the other party wants them to “finish the job”.

There’s everything from places like http://www.houstoncomputerrecyclingcenter.co/services.html to https://desktopdisposal.com
Just depends on what services you need. I forgot which one we used at a previous job, but they actually would come out and pick up pallets of severs and desktops, destroy the hard drives and resell them, mostly in bulk.

There are third parties you can contact that will take pallets of old computers and do all the secure cleanup, sorting and selling for you. They can recover cash for you or do the recycling if needed.

On a large empty slab of asphalt, two BMWs take off. They drive in figure eights and along an oval path separate from each other but nearly in tandem, like two ice skaters practicing the same routine on a piece of black ice before coming to a stop. Neither of the cars has a driver. That's not that impressive; self-driving cars in testing environments shouldn't impress anyone at this point. Essentially the automaker tells the car to drive a route, and it does it. The important thing here is why these cars, outfitted with additional sensors, are driving along the same route again and again, each time depressing the accelerator the same amount and applying the exact amount of pressure on the brakes: They're testing hardware with the least amount of variables you can encounter outside of a lab. "It's boring for human drivers," says BMW's project lead for driverless development, Philipp Ludwig. When a human is asked to perform the exact same task repeatedly, the quality of the work diminishes as they lose interest or become fatigued. For a computer-controlled car, it can do this all day. And it has done exactly that.
Four years from now, if all goes well, a nuclear-powered rocket engine will launch into space for the first time. The rocket itself will be conventional, but the payload boosted into orbit will be a different matter.
A bill requiring social media companies, encrypted communications providers and other online services to report drug activity on their platforms to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) advanced to the Senate floor Thursday, alarming privacy advocates who say the legislation turns the companies into de facto drug enforcement agents and exposes many of them to liability for providing end-to-end encryption.
G/O Media, a major online media company that runs publications including Gizmodo, Kotaku, Quartz, Jezebel, and Deadspin, has announced that it will begin a "modest test" of AI content on its sites. … The trial will include "producing just a handful of stories for most of our sites that are basically built around lists and data," Brown wrote. "These features aren't replacing work currently being done by writers and editors, and we hope that over time if we get these forms of content right and produced at scale, AI will, via search and promotion, help us grow our audience."
