Just found about WSL.. why would anyone use Linux when this exists? For privacy? Linux has FBI backdoors and the minute you even look up the term Linux and VPN you are flagged by Prism. This is the best of both worlds.

Funny because that's where i found my computer.

He makes a good point though. Account deletion after 3 months of inactivity is stupid. Gmail gives you 2 years. Yahoo Mail gives you 6 months, but they don't delete your account, they just empty it -- this is really the better option, since it costs them $ to store your mail.

S90F or if you want the best of the best, the S95F. Don't bother buying an old gen TV because they suck with low brightness and lower color gamut/volume than even LCDs of their year. 2025 was a big jump for OLED brightness and color, especially for LG but then they fucked up with their dithering algorithm and also gaming on a G5 is fucked because of a color banding issue which hasn't been fixed since launch.

>>106753361
Depends on how busy your area is. If there are a lot of EV owners in your city then probably not. EV charging just doesn't scale up like gas stations do and the only good solution is billions of dollars of electrical infrastructure upgrades.
>>
>>106753315
Don’t worry, sooner or later someone will come out on top and buy out all the smaller ones.
Hell one of these companies built a charging station just down the road from me with like 12 plugs before going under before they activated them.
Brand new plugs under used.

Also, you’re a retard if you buy an EV without the intention of installing a charger in your home by yourself.
If you don’t, you’re wasting all the money you save.

You don’t need more than level 1 charging. Charge at home from your 120v outlet.

A lot of the writing making the case for AI doom is by Eliezer Yudkowsky, interspersed with the expected number of parables, tendentious philosophical asides, and complex metaphors. I think this can obscure the fact that the argument for AI doom is pretty straightforward and plausible—it requires just a few steps and none of them are obviously wrong. You don’t need to think humans are just fancy meat computers or that AI would buy into functional decision theories and acausally trade to buy the argument.

For this reason, I thought I’d try to concisely and briefly lay out the basic argument for AI doom.

The basic argument has a few steps:

We’re going to build superintelligent AI.

It will be agent-like, in the sense of having long-term goals it tries to pursue.

We won’t be able to align it, in the sense of getting its goals to be what we want them to be.

An unaligned agentic AI will kill everyone/do something similarly bad.

Now, before I go on, just think to yourself: do any of these steps seem ridiculous? Don’t think about the inconvenient practical implications of believing them all in conjunction—just think about whether, if someone proposed any specific premise, you would think “that’s obviously false.” If you think each one has a 50% probability, then the odds AI kills everyone is 1/16, or about 6%. None of these premises strike me as ridiculous, and there isn’t anything approaching a knockdown argument against any them.

Yudkowsky and other weirdos, being self-proclaimed intellectuals, assign too much value to intelligence. But intelligence is very obviously not that important, and doesn't magically unlock an ability to predict the future. Any highly intelligent being will not do anything ruthless because it cannot truly predict how things will go. Which is partially why intelligence is not that important, too much of it limits your ability to act, constrains you to a niche.
