Most scripting languages have a global scope of some kind. It’s not that big of a deal.

I’d prefer not to have it, but it hasn’t caused me problems in many years. Actually, the window object can be really useful in some situations so I’m not even sure about that.

29% is insanely low considering how much propaganda they spew and how much media they control.

I try to be “optimistic” because Trump is only going to make things worse, so even lower numbers are possible.

Even Truman was barely lower than this, though his were low because dipshit Americans fellated MacArthur who was a Trump-like figure in many ways. Fake bravado (he abandoned his troops in the Philippines when things got tough), shit talker who spewed bloodthirsty talking points (he wanted to drop 50 nukes on China during the Korean War), but wore cool shades and smoked a pipe, etc

Maga simply represents the shallow, indulgent narcissism at the root of American identity, especially in the shithole South. We’ve been like this for a long fucking time.

Yes, make it hurt EU. It sucks that my dumbass country made it come to this, but it needs to happen. Way too many people here pretend the rest of the world doesn’t exist.

Nah he’s a magat POS. They fantasize about murdering libs and anyone else who disagrees with maga even slightly. He 100% shot her on purpose and then lied to make it sound like an accident. That’s how far gone these psychos are.

Their current GPU is roughly equal to a 4060 which isn’t that bad when you consider how far behind they are in terms of time.

I can’t imagine using a steam deck to do anything productive. If he’s traveling a lot it makes no sense. No one wants to drag around a monitor and KBM when they could just buy a laptop.

Framework used to make laptops with a dedicated AMD GPU, but I haven’t looked in over a year.

Isn’t China already building their own consumer GPUs?

I thought AMD also said they were cutting production?

If the rare earth hypothesis is true, which I personally think it is because of how many coincidences it took to make Earth habitable, then I do think they would be interested.

I mean we’d be very interested if we found another Earth-like planet with a civilization on it, so why wouldn’t aliens? Presumably any species capable of that discovery would at least have a need to pursue new knowledge, otherwise they would not be able to advance scientifically.

It’s not about humans being special at all, rather the opposite. Intelligent life is likely to share at least some things in common with us. For example it’s possible that they’re also violent assholes like we are, and destroyed their own planet, so now they a need one and we fit the bill.

If the rare earth hypothesis is false, then things simultaneously become more and less interesting. More interesting in that there’s suddenly a whole galaxy of life-rich planets to explore, less interesting in that there would be nothing rare about an Earth-like planet and aliens may be less interested in us.

But even then, I feel that someone’s going to be interested. We have millions of species on this planet and that doesn’t stop people from looking for new species.

This is the main reason I’ve never taken the Fermi paradox seriously. I know it’s only supposed to be a thought experiment, but way too many casual readers interpret it as some kind of scientific theory.

There’s no paradox at all when you consider how unlikely it is that another civilization reached the same or similar technology level as us in the exact same microscopically thin slice of time that we’ve had radio. And that’s even ignoring all the problems with detecting an alien radio signal in the first place.

It would only save you a few months

I agree with your point, however it’s also frustrating how obvious it was that all the post-9/11 powers we gave the government would be abused.
