This was shown before the sentencing. The judge referenced it explicitly in their sentencing as a reason to apply leniency.

From a comment above:

Here’s what the judge had to say:

“I loved that AI, and thank you for that. As angry as you are, and as justifiably angry as the family is, I heard the forgiveness, and I know Mr. Horcasitas could appreciate it, but so did I,” Lang said immediately before sentencing Horcasitas. “I love the beauty in what Christopher, and I call him Christopher—I always call people by their last names, it’s a formality of the court—but I feel like calling him Christopher as we’ve gotten to know him today. I feel that that was genuine, because obviously the forgiveness of Mr. Horcasitas reflects the character I heard about today. But it also says something about the family, because you told me how angry you were, and you demanded the maximum sentence. And even though that’s what you wanted, you allowed Chris to speak from his heart as you saw it. I didn’t hear him asking for the maximum sentence.”

Of course. Look at the “network state” concept that the alt right tech bros love.

Tiny nation states ruled by the elites, where laws and rights are set not by a wide ranging view of human rights, but by those in power. One of your only rights is the ability to leave. To where? Who knows, and surely nit with all your valuables going with you. No voting, not basic dignity, nothing else if the techo kings dont want to provide it. Corpo kings, contract as the only law.

The end state of the above and fascism is the same. A ruling class that sets the rules, and a citizenry that has to abide by them, or else.

Is it literal fascism? Who knows. Are you under the boot of a privileged class, at the full mercy of their whims just like monarchy or fascism? Yes indeed.

Looking at the trees brings most of the relief, so I expect even those are just as calming as long as you don’t touch them and don’t know what they are.

Wired, wireless. A flared base is the actual key.

Dont worry. Most of those will burn down, leaving plenty of room for houses to be built to the new requirements.

Best case is enough houses get built to this standard and intermixed into those neighborhoods to give a type of “herd immunity” from fires moving house to house. Hell, even a good bulwark of these in a line facing the forest might do it.

Trees are also essential for insects, bird and animal life in cities. They are psychologically calming for people as well.

Holy fuck. Red truck, pale fuck, blue truck. Red, white and blue.

The lift here is that you setup the end users client. If they aren’t local, buy one and ship it. Since it will be on your always on tailscale vpn, you can then interact with it remotely if needed.

Android tvs can be had for $35, Raspi 5 are around the same range, with apple tvs about $130. Have people pony up the cash and mail one of what they want out to them.

That may be too much to ask if you share to a lot of casual friends/family, but its been a successful answer for me.

Jellyfin takes more work, but can be a “simple” end user experience if you set it up for them.

Use a reverse proxy to get a letsenceypt cert for your jellyfin server. SWAG, Caddy, lots of options. Then setup a free tailscale account and add your jellyfin server to your tailnet. Install the jellyfin and tailscale apps on the user android tv/apple tv/computer, then enroll the devices in your tailnet.

They will have always on, ssl secured, vpn protected media sharing for free.

They sold to private equity a couple years back. The enshittification started that day.

Nah, hes already making exceptions left and right while reaching out to China to start talks.

Stores have a 7 week lag from basically now before they run out of goods. He will have folded in every meaningful way by then. There will be a lot of tough talk and basically very little accomplished.

D works well. Being dead puts you in a decent “no one to fool with” category.

Fucker cant even do a prat fall at this point.

There is no form factor of power generation that could match nuclear on something as “small” and dense as an aircraft carrier.

Solar is a no go due to just surface area and the challenges of salt water. The only consistent things left are petrol and nuclear, and of the two, nuclear is better in every way but cost.

It is wacky that “hot rock make steam. Steam makes turbine go” is how like 95% of all civilization exists, but man when we stumbled on a winner in the 1800s, we just went all in on it.

100% steam. Steam makes the electricity, locomotion, desalination and the plane catapults go on that class of carrier. The reactors and salt water make the various types of steam used in the various systems.

Limitless water is a neat hack when you couple it with limitless heat.

That carrier is using steam powered propellers. Luckily the steam is “pushed” by a couple of large nuclear reactors, so it’s got plenty of juice.

He lost to a liberal canidate named Bruce. Poilievre and Carney ran in ridings in different providences, but the ridings are geographicly right next to each other. Poilievre lost for the first time in 20 years, and Carney was elected as MP for his first time ever.

Hilariously, someone shouted out “Bruce!” during Carneys acceptance speech. Carney said he was looking forward to working with Bruce. Its being read as shade, since thats a gracious thing you say about an opponent you still have to work with, but in Poilievre case, thats not a problem Carney has.

Almost took a job early in my career that would have led to being an oracle DBA. Have managed to continue not working with Oracle at all the rest.

I may be oracle proof. Maybe I should give these hospitals a ring.

Im all fucked up about the lemmy communities. I misread the subreddit list in a powertripping mods thread as a lemmy community list. Ill edit the above comments.

Im all fucked up on the lemmy mod comment. I misread his subreddits as lemmy communities in the power tripping mod thread I linked above. I’ve removed that now.

I think you misread my post. Im not defending fosstodon or carrotcypher, I was asking for more clarity about the issues.

Reading up on him in the linked posts, he looks like a big piece of shit that shouldn’t be moderating a large mastodon instance. It’s clear he abuses his power there and on the 50 communities here on lemmy he mods to silence discussion that doesn’t align with his views.

You opting to “not look into them” is the same stance as the Fosstodon admins, and honestly, not a good choice.
