Can you not see how this is actively making people more stupid?

Except we’re not choosing this, it has already been chosen for us by a handful of billionaires who stand to make more money

Keep telling yourself that

How many of us do research in libraries rather than on the internet these days? Back when internet became popular there were similar criticisms to what we have today on AI.

Not even close to the same. Any (actual) research done online is still using real sources that have just been catalogued online.

The entire point of having students write essays is to demonstrate an understanding of the subject matter. Being able to come up with a good enough prompt to spit out a few paragraphs good enough to fool your teacher defeats the purpose entirely.

So what you’re telling me is that “it would cost more.”

Yes. I know.

would require the system to be purged and cleaned and refilled. Which would use more water.

More grey water. Not potable drinking water.

Sorry, I just don’t believe that corporations with this much money and resources couldn’t figure out a way to cool it without using drinking water. That’s bullshit.

Do they still hijack your URL bar to inject their own referral codes without your permission?

Talk about killer features 🙄

A whole ton of femboys with knee socks, running Arch, might beg to differ

Every single one of those browsers is the same bloated Google-flavoured bullshit wearing a different fucking clown costume

Brave is even worse as they’ve been caught doing shady shit without permission on more than one occasion.

Yeah that logo is better than the modern logos by far

I wasn’t yelling though

Meter? I hardly know 'er!

Infrastructure in this country is already fucked. These old pipes were not built to carry hot water. That’s how you get nasty shit to leech into it.

My question, which seems to have no answer beyond, “it costs money,” is: why the fuck does the water they use need to be potable in the first place? Grey water is a thing. You don’t use treated drinking water for this shit, it’s such an insane waste of resources.

If anything, at the very least, these data centers should be forced to house their own treatment plants to treat the water when they’re done with it so it can re-enter the system.

Pretty much anyone else would be facing prison

Only if the company is publicly traded

Yeah, somehow I doubt this is the reason they’re doing it

You can’t use it without the custom cursor? Doesn’t seem important

My experience with the Linux communities here has been the opposite. Very welcoming, and very helpful.

As a side note, I’m running Bazzite and this game works great

Yes you can. Mid-game without having to restart

I got this running very easily on my Linux laptop with 4k texture pack, and have been playing it with my new Steam Controller.

Never had a chance to play through this game, so this seems like the perfect time
