They can’t pass it. They don’t have majority. Now watch as they win midterms and this gets forgotten completely.

I mean, why not introduce this bill during any of the 4 years Biden was in office? Because it would’ve been actual policy, and they don’t want that. This is political virtue signaling and nothing more.

That’s quite obviously the end goal here.

Major respect for taking one for the team.

When oil is 200/barrel industry will switch out of simple necessity.

Bats. Imagine having a friendly familiar. They could also be used to carry messages.

Yea, this is gonna be the big one. I can feel it in my bones.

I once got a 2k camera + gear + extra (Sigma!) lenses for three fiddy. No Loch Ness monsters involved tho.

But they don’t ask questions. You can teach them sign language to a degree and they WILL use it to communicate, but so far none of them has ever posed a question to their researchers.

Nothing a quick pill won’t fix.

Now, convincing your wife to take pills for YOUR illness, that’s another thing.

That’s fine, I’m sure billionaires will pick up the tab when all regular people clear out of the Strip.

The longer this goes on the more it seems like the explicit goal rather than a side effect.

Still running Win11 on my gaming rig. The very first time an update breaks something again it’s gone.

Nopepad now.

I actually think the young crowd at MS would resist this. This looks much more like a top-down decision from marketing overruling engineering.

Lovecraft deserves some redemption. First of all he wasn’t especially racist, just the “normal” amount for his time (take with a grain of salt please!). More importantly he significantly mellowed out in his later years primarily due to exposure to talented black writers which made him realize the error of his ways.

But yeah, I wouldn’t ask him to name my void cat.

At least it isn’t a .webp

If there’s any upside to the entire situation, it’s that perhaps, maybe, developers will again start paying more attention to optimization instead of just throwing more powerful hardware at it.

Some of the greatest games ever developed for consoles were great because the developers had to get extremely creative with the limited resources at their disposal. This led to some incredibly optimized games that could do a whole lot with those very limited resources.

The irony of having run out of tokens on that last message… “Your problem now, peace out. Or pony up”.

I recognize that I’ve been blessed with the cats I’ve had in my life. Not all of them are cuddly and like hanging out with humans. But like yours, mine have always been and still are incredibly loyal and loving.

Is there any way to game this and make bank somehow?
