Brazil had something like that in the early republic days, only literate people could vote. Needless to say, only the robber baron elites kept getting elected, also thanks to the significant amount of fraud that happened. "The election is won during the counting"

Feels like we're heading back to the early 90s, before search engines, with pages that are just a bunch of curated links to other pages

Never had the chance to play it properly. I had a demo of it in a magazine CD, but could never figure out the controls

Disagree. That'll only make kids look for the next easiest solution. Tor? VPN? Too complicated. Just join a telegram chat group, done. Piracy and porn galore (plus fuckloads of ads, piracy for sale and scams). They'll only use AI to make porn of girls in their classes

Is it up on the comedy central site already? Gonna watch it if so

Time to ignore all the copyright and patents for my own ~~nefarious purposes~~ AI training

Time for Brazil's PIX to be exported around the world. That's likely to be hard, as here it is a direct, bank agnostic account-to-account transfer without middlemen and without any tax, so it'd need cooperation between the involved countries.

Annoy them, call their bullshit, but don't harass or threaten them, those are likely to backfire spectacularly

Every linux comes with perl and bash, possession is a single script away

No one pays in shares because no one accepts this and it’s annoying to do?

Sounds like crypto

volatility with crypto is annoying, but it will happen with a currency that works in every country, even fiat is volatile

True, but countries have means to keep money more or less stable. Most countries also have laws that are supposed to ensure big money owners don't collude to play insider trading and pump'n dump every other week

First, fuck Visa and Mastercard. Second, fuck Collective Shout. Third, I feel for the itch forum mods.

OC donut steel (but repost wherever lol)

Dude says: "I'm not worried about the AI apocalypse, I always say "thank you" to them!"
Robots later catch him and state: "Throw that one in the grinder, his "thank you" used 748kw/h every day"

A 2023 study at MIT made this discovery, which could be a boon for storing electricity.

The team calculated that a block of nanocarbon-black-doped concrete that is 45 cubic meters (or yards) in size — equivalent to a cube about 3.5 meters across — would have enough capacity to store about 10 kilowatt-hours of energy, which is considered the average daily electricity usage for a household.

3.5 cubic meters of material ought to be enough to make quite a comfy house

There is a tradeoff between the storage capacity of the material and its structural strength, they found. By adding more carbon black, the resulting supercapacitor can store more energy, but the concrete is slightly weaker, and this could be useful for applications where the concrete is not playing a structural role or where the full strength-potential of concrete is not required.

They talk about making roads with the material, but I suspect electrical posts (utility poles) could also be made of this, which would certainly last much longer than roads and be cheaper to maintain and fix

 

Double edged sword, since it's good that we can actually remember said experiences and maybe pass the wisdom down.

 

23 games + 1 DLC^[I nearly bought Blades of Time Limited edition, then I saw that I already had the base game in my library. It's one of the things that pisses me off with GOG, it won't say you own the game if you have the base/deluxe/platinum/definitive/whatever edition but are looking at a different version, and will gladly let you buy it again] for R$180 (~32 USD)

I know some of those aren't exactly bangers, or might just barely be considered good, but I ~~won't even play them all anyway^[I really need to get my shit together and start playing instead of just buying]~~ enjoy looking at subpar games from time to time
