So if I don't have an internet connection, I can't even boot my computer?

Being able to run video games or other hardware intensive process would either require pricey hardware or they'd be streamed from a cloud service (which comes with a whole other bundle of issues to consider) as that computational power has to come from something physical somewhere. Offloading your OS to the cloud wouldn't affect that. PCs can already be accessed by phone if you have the right set up (dedicated IP hosting and a VPN) As for saving data in case of emergencies, we already have cloud based storage solutions that wouldn't be impacted by cloud based OS.

There is 0 reason to use a cloud based OS other than making sure people are tied to your service for the life of their computer. This feels like a solution to a problem no one has.

Do you think Taco Bell is representative of actual Mexican food? Blaming Taco Bell isn't racist, its blaming shit tier food

From what I've seen of hexbear users in the wild, we wouldn't lose much by defederating. Their shitposting and general antagonism to anyone right of Stalin adds nothing to instances beyond their own

Those 100 corporations make materials that everyone else uses (mostly O&G) and the consumption and use of those materials (by we the consumers) is responsible for 71% of GHG emissions.It's not just 100 companies burning coal for funsies

Be careful, you're wandering awfully close to eco-facist talking points

My first day visiting Albuquerque, I was in pizza parlor picking up an order, and the news was on a TV nearby. They were covering the arrest of this cracked out looking couple. The lady behind the counter then explained to me that it was a big local story because those two had tortured and murdered their daughter. Its also the cartheftt capital.

I haven't been back.

Is this a shitpost? Some new copypasta I haven't seen before?

I've lived in a range of population centers, from mid sized towns of about 30k, to cities in the millions, and now in a small town of 5k spread through the entire valley. Its different strokes for different folks. The city was nice with lots of things to keep me occupied, but I could barley afford to do anything because my tiny apt cost 2.5k a month. Cities would be great if the CoL was addressed. Smaller towns on the other hand offer me plent of unspoiled nature to explore and a tighter knit sense of community while allowing me to live comfortably.

Each has its benefits and generalizing one side or the other doesn't do it justice.

I lived there and made $90k a year. Lived like 50 minutes from work, still paid $2.5k per month for a 500sqft studio and qualified as low income for the area. If people making that much are considered low income, something has failed.

Of what she says is true, it sounds like they really did do what they could for the man.

Yes, as long as that service is "creative" or "artistic" in nature

Be prepared. I love Enderal but it is unforgiving. Not to say it's bad, but it's following a different design ethos than Bethesda's Elder Scrolls.

Also prepare for an emotional roller coaster

I use GigaRapid, andnive got no complaints so far. Good speeds, wish I had more storage space, but a lot of their options were sold out when I signed up

Can you point me to that paper? Google only turns up results stating that if we burned all fossil fuels on the planet we'd hit 10°C

Magnesium chloride also works well as a dust suppressant. I used to manufacture the stuff
