Almost everyone on the left in the US regards CNN as corporate garbage.

I think far left, not left. But even if this were true, it is far from being called “Russian troll”. What do you think in the article that makes it or him “Russian troll”, or even “corporate garbage”?

I do not understand this joke. Is it about “time is relative”?

You misspelled Unix.

Which one? With the tail?

I don’t know. Could still be safety concerns? In many districts/counties you can’t even change a light-switch yourself.

I understand exception of medical devices where manufacturers carry huge responsibility if something goes wrong. But consoles???

They are really left leaning, not balanced, and it shows in their opinions, but also in news selection. Since fediverse is also left or even significantly left leaning, it gets shared a lot here.

This is horrible article. The only number given related to LLM is 700,000 liters of water used, which is honestly minuscule in impact on environment. And then there are speculations of “what if water used in aria where there is no water”. It is on the level of “if cats had wings, why don’t they fly”.

Everything we do in modern would consumes energy. Air conditioners, public transport, watching TV, getting food, making elections… exactly the same article (without numbers and with lots of hand waving) could have written. “What if we start having elections in Sahara? Think about all the scorpions we disturb!”

Yes, but this is agreed in advance, not “I am late, let me call”

From the cannon…

The relative costs of computers, consoles and games themselves is significantly lower today than in the eighties.

You don’t understand. It is a motivational poster about perseverance. Or is it demotivational? Always confuse them.

I think 20% is too generous.

I had never been in court, but would assume that when you are called to appear into court, you are not given zoom link just in case. Right?

That’s what, I think, Russian targets mean in this context.

Sure, but nothing compares with WW2 and many wars triggered by the Cold War.

That’s false. Only half are women and children wiki. Your 10:1 ratio is taken out of your behind, but even that ratio is typical urban warfare ratio. Just Google.

Yes, and with 14,000 militant killed, the civilian number is 35K - 14K = 21K. Civilian to militant casualties is 21:14, or smaller than 2:1. That’s all.

For total number of casualties I take Hamas number. For militant casualties, Hamas does not give any number, so, I have to use Israeli number as the most reliable. By the way, Israeli number for civilian casualties is also not so far from Hamas.

It is not all that bad. Wealth creation needs peace, rule of law and happy to spend consumers. I would be more afraid some ideological guy leading country towards what his ideology says it must be.
