True, but Its 100% possible for us to get knocked back into the iron age, and if that happens, there’s a very real chance we won’t be able to climb up again.
Easy to access sources of a lot of the resources needed to rebuild a modern civilization are gone, the only reason we can get to the remaining deposits is because we already have the advanced equipment to extract it. It’s entirely possible that if we get knocked back down the tech ladder, we may never climb back up again
How do the costs compare when you factor in a total ecological collapse from the continued use of fossil fuels?
Yeah, but they were brown doctors and children, so it’s OK
Edit: did I really need a /s?
My wife’s engagement ring is Moissanite and she absolutely loves it - more brilliant than a “real” diamond, and a tiny fraction of the cost
Status symbols are dumb to start with, but spending 10’s of thousands on a diamond ring that is functionally identical (or even inferior) to a lab diamond or Moissanite ring is completely idiotic
Yeah China and India are tentatively siding with Russia right now, but this would put a stop to that in a hot second
Especially since there’s literally nothing to be gained beyond dick waving - it’s not like they don’t already know that their nukes work, sadly nuclear warheads are a solved technology
Drinking coffee from my Moccamaster as I type 👌
Only drip machine I’ve found that can rival a good Ole fashioned pourover
Tbh yeah - all you need is to do a bit of reading on the events leading up to WW2 - if this was in a book/movie I’d be saying “come on guys, that’s a little on the nose, isn’t it” lol
Pretty much everything Google makes exists solely to power it’s ad service - including it’s search engine. That’s literally their whole business. Did anyone think that Google was building browsers just as a fun weekend project?
Git and a script file that’s basically just a ton of ln - s commands
I honestly don’t think I’ve ever found myself wanting more
For the folks saying this is nothing new and nbd - Id watch the animated version first lol
I don’t have any issue with CGI extras in general (plenty of movies have done it well), but this shit is just bad lol
This or similar software is basically required is you have an SSH server accessible over the internet
Don’t make the mistake I did and assume that your server is too small or inconsequential to get hacked - a hacking attempt is a matter of “if” not when, but turning off password Auth and adding fail2ban will get you locked up tight
In my defense, apparently my phone auto corrects “its” to “it’s” 🙄
Though that’s probably because I misuse it all the time myself lol
stop getting all your info about AI and it’s current/upcoming capabilities from mainstream news media my dude lol
We’re nowhere close to what you describe, and even we were, that wouldn’t be the same thing as “open source”, since you could only do it to code you have access to. You couldn’t - for example, use it to get a copy of the Reddit/Facebook server-side source code
The thing is though, Low effort, high special effect action, action over plot moviesis nothing new, before marvel it was transformers and so on all the way back to shoot em up westerns at the dawn of cinema.
Its not like before the MCU, you’re average movie goer was watching super artistic cerebral movies, and comic book movies took that all away, like this guy is acting
That’s weird, usually hexbear and lemmygrad are super active in any post about Russia, but I don’t see any here…
I’ve never actually watched it, but my wife does, and I’ve seen enough to say you’re 100% right
They’re in the hire of Russia, do you imagine Russia is going to pay them to march on Moscow
this - but unironically
Dissappear? No, of course not
Fall out of repair, and be unable to be repaired effectively without tools, resources, or knowledge that are no longer accessible?
Abso-fucking-lutely
Take a deep sea oil rig. How long do you think it’ll be operational without maintenance with all that sea water? After not too long you won’t be able to repair the damage without serious industrial capabilities, and that’s assuming you even know how to fix it.
Really even as relatively little as a few decades of total chaos and disorganization would be enough to make crawling back really hard. A century and more and it really could be impossible, or at least improbable - especially given that the humanity that comes out of the other end of the crisis is the same one that got us into it. So the remaining pieces of major valuable infrastructure left will probably get wrecked as the survivors fight over them
