I'd appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please.

In the 2000s, an ideological battle played out across the fictional cosmos of EVE Online.

I was playing EVE around that time and it's a little strange to see Goonswarm valorized like that. It's the only MMO I ever tried where I really got into the social scene within the game. For a time I was loosely affiliated with a small independent corp which was loosely affiliated with a sort of informal federation of others. We all had the ability to make a living independently but we all usually had more fun when we cooperated and so we often did. I never really stopped to think about the politics of it but I guess it was pretty close to proper anarchism, in a way. The giant alliances that battled each other for total dominance were a but distant menace that we would occasionally snipe at or steal from.

Anyway, good book review. More interesting than I would've guessed when I clicked on the link.

Take heed, government of Canada: It may be difficult to imagine but you need to find real courage and leadership here. Bear in mind that if you fail as all your predecessors who faced or avoided this problem have failed, David Suzuki will be disappointed.

Only that it wasn't as good as they expected. I'm going to go ahead and assume it was the 1969 Hall Bartlett movie because that looks intriguing.

One thing that can be said for Carney is that over the course of his long career as a banker he must have had considerable experience dealing with people like Trump. By which of course I mean people who are rich and powerful, very great and successful.

I think that most people would indeed "automatically pass out and sleep" long before 11 days went past, unless they used some strong drugs or stimuli designed to keep them awake. Source: I tried to see how long I could go without sleeping, no tricks just sheer force of will, when I was young and healthy. Slightly more than 90 hours.

Oh, right. I hope it's as good as the animated series based on Voice of Fire I just spent a moment imagining.

Oh no, the video game industry is dead. Good thing we still have about thirty million video games to choose from.

I know these things take time but it seems overdue by about ten years.

Monthly active Firefox user count down another 4% since a year ago, down 18% since 2021. A steady decline. Something big needs to change at Mozilla whether or not the Google cash firehose gets shut off.

I wonder if there's a browser extension that would block every page containing "Trump" from loading, and redirect to a random picture of a cute animal.

Computers? Fun!? Whatever, nerds.

... I then come across a post on "fuck_AI"

For a moment you had me going there, but no, it really does say OP beside your username.

It's a con. A def one.

Although the removed comments are not showing up in the moderation log, I see that your tireless devotion to the topic over the past 24 hours has provided us with at least one screencap of what seems to be one of the deleted comments. It was pretty low-quality, mildly insulting, and not worth thinking about for more than the 5 seconds its author did. Anyway good luck with your crusade.

Do you happen to have any evidence at all that they "delete any comments that complain about AI"? Because it seems unlikely, given that the only thing you came up with to support that statement is a comment expressing opinions about AI with which you presumably disagree.

Being so cruelly deprived of oil pipelines, maybe they can claim refugee status in the USA.

According to @librewolf@chaos.social it's still a problem in the current build if you have resist fingerprinting turned off.

O LORD, bless this Thy Shrek movie that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy

Changed in 138.0-2, reverted in 138.0.1-1 which I got from repo.librewolf.net.

... and they've changed it back.
