Yep, gotten into that argument, got downvoted into oblivion by pointing out that covering 80% of the space above crops with sun-blocking solar panels might, you know, affect the crops.

Was confidently told that crops only need about 4 hours of sunlight, lol.

Wish I could double-check. It’s on the other side of the country from where I live these days!

I believe the catalog is from 1906. So not sure if early Austrian fascism had made it over by steam ship and spread thousands of kilometers across the country before the automobile.

But it was less than 10 years before the resurrection of the Klan, so that was certainly brewing.

Just like the swastika was fucking everywhere for decades before Hitler usurped it. I’ve got an early 1900s Sears catalog with swastika watches, pins, clocks. All when Hitler was basically a tween.

Point being: Fascists always steal culture, they never create it.

The rehabilitation of Bill Gates’s image after he left MicroSoft was mind blowing. Like here’s the most capitalist capitalist in the world, the Elon Musk of the 90s/early 00s, and otherwise progressive people were fawning over him because he did a little philanthropy at the behest of his wife.

It’s like listening to gamers talk about Windows being an OS with such wide compatibility, when the only reason for that is market share forcing everyone else to bend to it and write Windows drivers for everything.

And I still wonder where we’d be in computing if MS hadn’t anointed Intel and their old-timey architecture as the winner of the CPU wars.

Remove Snowrunner, add KSP, and that’s me.

Let’s be honest, Mamdani would be banned from .ml, too. Modlog: “read more theory.”

It’s always dusters

“What, do you expect society to accommodate your special needs vehicle? You some kind of woke commie?”

That’s pretty interesting. Makes more sense when posited as a way to grow northern crops in more mid-latitude areas.

Yeah, and? Most crops need more than just a few hours per day of sunlight. Those panels are HUGE. Way bigger than the shadow we’re seeing.

But more to the point, what are they even growing there? It looks like ivy that turns into some indistinct shrub, and then there are flower bushes behind that? Also those panels look like they’re about 20-30cm thick when you compare them to the people vaguely “harvesting” the crops. And I’m pretty sure those posts holding them up are basically railroad rails with no support on the back of the panels.

I mean, it depicts people planting crops UNDER the solar panels. Out of the sun.

Yeah, this is 100% AI.

All hail Duke, Duke is life

Zydrate comes in a little glass vial.

Yeah, I hate that too, but db0 still works for me in literally every other facet.

But the pro gen-AI stance is really at odds with the otherwise anarchist-ish outlook of db0: replacing individual human creativity with something that by its very nature requires large corporations to even run, or just a TON of personal capital to run yourself.

It’s hard to keep track of all the things I’m not supposed to download. That’s why I have a NAS. I get a sense of fulfillment from seeing those empty, empty drives that can’t be used by anyone else to download things they shouldn’t.

Stop advertising your name at the top of every comment.

Lol, did you really take a phone screenshot, and circle the link in the picture?

BTW, the link in the article that you’ve circled is broken, so not sure what you want people to derive from that.

Vitamin E acetate was found in grey market THC vapes as a thickener.

The 2019 panic was mostly caused by kids who got hospitalized, and didn’t want to admit they’d been using THC.
