So you'd rather vote for the people who want to actively kill you, instead of the ones that mostly just ignore your problems? That's just fucking stupid.

Because you can't fix stupid.

To be fair, aliens are almost guaranteed to be real. The only question is whether or not they've been to earth.

Were they ever claimed to be non-toxic? I feel like it may be a case of "this stuff is bad for you, but being lit on fire is significantly worse."

So the government didn't spend billions of dollars to buy Alberta a pipeline?

Goddamn victim complex is getting really old.

The key in this case would be finding somewhere to put the waste heat from the computer, where you would normally be paying to add heat in the first place. That's why you need to specify electric tank water heaters to make this idea work. You would be using energy to keep the water hot anyway, might as well do some additional work with that energy first.

If they refuse to play the claim, they are refusing to provide the service you have already paid them for.

If they refuse to renew a contract, they are not taking your money, and not agreeing to provide the service.

On the long list of dumb ideas, this doesn't even begin to qualify. Almost all the energy that goes into a computer comes out as heat. If you can dump that heat into a tank of water that you wanted to be hot in the first place, you are saving almost all the electricity cost (assuming the hot water heater is an electric tank style heater, not a natural gas or tankless version).

If a colour theme is enough to set you off, you may want to have an honest conversation with yourself about those feelings you are repressing.

Since VLC runs on just about everything, I'd imagine that the cloud service will be best for the many devices that just don't have the horsepower to run an LLM locally.

Those are just the disguised lizard people.

I think the other thing that people need to remember is that when online on platforms like Lemmy, Twitter, etc, you aren't just having a one on one conversation. There are other people reading the exchange. People who would otherwise be allies, can still be alienated, even without anyone directly saying anything to them.

Also, there seems to be far too many people who are willing to let perfect be the enemy of good. If your opinions don't exactly match theirs, you are indoctrinated, evil, stupid, malicious, etc.
