If Joe Biden were as ruthless about his immunity as Donald Trump is, the union might actually stand a chance.

It's more to carry the load of multiple computers, instead of one computer connecting at 400 Tb/s think of it as a few thousand computers running gigabit connections over one single line.
You could supply an entire office building with internet with a single line from the provider.

This could be America in 6 months if Trump wins, he literally has the power to disappear people if he wins.

V for Vendetta was very popular when it came out and I think most of us would recognize the mask.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It honestly feels like they're not giving us any other choice.

Fucking Internet lefties

Ah, there it is.

That's a long way to go to avoid a question, several paragraphs and you can't even come up with one name.

Who do you have in mind?

 

I get it, Biden is old and that's a problem, but why doesn't anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein's Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can't remember common names?

Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah, but Biden is 2½ years older! /S

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I don't disagree at all, and in fact I think those are a great few reasons why we're not organizing.
But, I feel like right now, all it would take was knowing other people were there and more people would start to show up.

Then maybe it is time to stop being peaceful about it. It obviously doesn't work, so maybe they'll listen if we start breaking shit.

 
 

Anyone seen this before?

My OS is on a 512gb M.2 drive, but the main storage on my laptop was a 1TB HDD, it started making noise about 2 weeks ago so I backed everything up onto a 1TB SanDisk USB SSD. This afternoon it got very clicky when I booted it up after work and icons for a few games I had stored on it, like KSP and YUZU, disappeared from the desktop and taskbar.

 
 

We already knew the September release date, nothing has changed on that front.

But, There are a few other interesting things. Mainly We're likely to see at least 5 more bob books but that's subject to change.
And Roadkill 2 is coming!!

 

Sorry for the disappointing news everyone. Looks like audible wants to hold it back until Q4 for some reason despite it being complete.

 

With "Not Till We Are Lost" likely to release sometime in the next ~60 days or so It's probably time to discuss spoilers leading up to and following release.
So for one, There will be a discussion mega-thread, but there won't be any rules discouraging posts for anyone who wants to discuss anything specific, which brings us to rules for posts.
I'm going to keep it relatively short and simple here as it's mostly common sense.
No Spoilers in post titles
This should be a given but I'm sure someone still needs to hear it.
Use spoiler tags in post body
Yes, you have to click on the post to see the post body in most cases, But some apps and instances show a preview of the post body text and it can be visible to people who didn't intend to view the post.

These rules will remain in effect leading up to release (samples that may be released before the book count as spoilers) and for 14 days after the release.

 

So, I'm new to the whole moderating thing and I'm looking for feedback from the community. What can we do to increase community engagement?
Would you guys like to see weekly discussion threads?
Book 5 speculation?
Writing prompts based in universe?
As the mod, what can I do for you to make this community better?

spoilerAcross all the books something that becomes obvious if you pay attention, but is never touched on directly, Is that there is replicant drift between the GUPPI units as well as the Bobs. There's different attitudes, some are flippant, some cooperative, and some downright disrespectful.
Now lets take a look at something ANEC mentioned in heavens river:

"AI is not achievable through algorithmic refinement. It requires a process of simulated annealing to achieve."
to which Bill replied:
"So they're elvoving the AI?"

If you think about it the Bobs have been slowly annealing GUPPI with every generation and even leaving him some room to grow, slowly evolving him. My theory is that GUPPI will unintentionally become the first AI the bobs create. This would work well with the parallels the Bobiverse has with ExForce. Even borrowing the term "Skippies" from Skippy, the insolent AI that shares a lot of characteristics with several of the GUPPI's that don't yet have the ability to be outright transgressive and borderline maliciously compliant.

That's all I have for now, only Dennis and the editors know exactly what will happen but I'm curious to hear any other theories anyone else has.
