Revan343, to worldnews in In Phoenix, 4.5 million residents are living in hell: this is life at 113°F degrees (45 °C) for more than 20 days

It regularly gets into the low 100s

What’s that in real temperature units?

Not all of the US is hell; I hear the future New California Republic (once they balkanize, expect it within our lifetimes) is nice.

Revan343, to asklemmy in Is there anything actually useful or novel about "AI"?

I mean it though.

The people working for the DEA now are no better than the people working to enforce alcohol prohibition in 1919. It’d be nice if humanity would learn, with a hundred years to think about it, but the ruling class at least haven’t. They enforce poorly thought out puritanical laws, and the world would be better off without them.

If I lived in America rather than Canada, which thank god I don’t, the DEA would happily kick down my door, shoot me, and then probably also shoot my wife, who doesn’t even partake of anything beyond alcohol, but would obviously be upset about my being shot.

All cops are bastards, and should be torched with molotovs at any available opportunity. If they didn’t want to be bastards, they shouldn’t have signed up as cops; it’s not like they’re conscripts

Comedic timing still matters. The cadence of the sentence when you’re delivering a punchline matters, and yeah, you can do dozens of takes until it’s right, but they’re not going to want to do that.

To be clear, I do think it will be fine. They will find someone who can fill the role(s) well. It’s just not going to be as easy as recasting, say, War Machine in Iron Man was. They’ll need to find the right guy, but they will find him

Traceability.

Regular financial transfers, be they credit card, direct debit, straight-up written cheques, Interac/E-transfer (I am Canadian, that’s an us thing) are all inherently tracable.

XMR/Monero is not tracable, it’s specifically designed not to be, unlike Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies.

Of course, shitheads consider that to be a problem, but fuck them, they’re shitheads; it’s a solution, to the problem they cause.

For context, I say all this as someone who is vehemently opposed to prohibition; as far as I’m concerned every person who works for the DEA should be imprisoned or shot

Revan343, to nathanwpyle in desired smoothness

“Yes, please carry on.”

Important topic, wrong sub

Revan343, to moviesandtv in ‘Rick and Morty’ Team Gives Update on Recasting Process Following Justin Roiland’s Dismissal

It shouldn’t be a problem, there are some really good Justin Roiland soundalikes, and it’s not like Rick’s voice hasn’t changed over the course of the show anyways.

The harder part will be finding someone with the right comedic timing. That’s Roiland’s bigger contribution to the show

Revan343, to asklemmy in Is there anything actually useful or novel about "AI"?

Cryptocurrencies didn’t solve any problems

Well XMR solved one problem, but yeah the rest are just gambling with extra steps

Revan343, to selfhosted in What backup service do you use?

rsync.net and learn to use Borg; they’re stupid cheap if you’re technically proficient enough to handle the Borg setup yourself. Like, charge by the gigabyte, but it’s 1.5¢/GB at the most expensive, and cheaper in bulk

Revan343, to privacy in Can the Fediverse Help Stop Bad Internet Bills? (US focused)

It’s happened before. Too much pressure, and eventually something has to give

Revan343, to privacy in Can the Fediverse Help Stop Bad Internet Bills? (US focused)

People with money don’t care about how many people are angry, we’ve been shown that time and time again. They’ve even stopped pretending they listen to us anymore.

They’ll care and listen when the molotovs come out-- or they’ll burn, and cease to be a problem.

Until that happens, yes, they don’t give a shit about the common people.

Revan343, to nostupidquestions in What happens if you lose all citizenship?

or outright block Russians from entering

If you’ve been stripped of citizenship for opposing the war, are you still Russian?

Obviously that’s semantics, and what matters will be whether Finland still considers you Russian, but I think it would be in their benefit to allow entry to former Russians who are explicitly opposed to Russia’s bullshit

Revan343, to news in Nearly two years after Texas' six-week abortion ban, more infants are dying

That’s not weird, it’s by design. Need more meat for the meat grinder, whether it’s factory workers or soldiers

Revan343, to news in Nebraska teen sent to 90 days in jail over abortion

if the baby has complication that can kill the mother

Which was not the case in this situation
