When the power is off chances are that whatever is integrated is degraded anyway. And for actuators just choose some that fail gracefully and allow manual handling. For the rest use HA as much as possible, favour local integrations with no cloud dependencies… and when there are dependencies than make sure the override is available physically (looking at my vaillant HP). Then stack UPSes or even better home grade batteries (my next endeavour) and have backup connectivity to internet and you’re a peachy as can be.

It’s about fucking time already. Some incentives on that would be nice.

Well the question stands. If only internet as generally understood goes off I simply join alternatives or extend my lan and hamsterize content to share it. If any network is subjected to forced closure then I can only do the storing part and keep steam stuffed. You never question hypothesis ?

I would start by questioning how that would prevent the rise of the singularity… either it exists on an air-gaped network and it’s unecessary or it’s all theatrics because a true singularity emergence would likely use the other less known networks to realise itself.

It’s important to celebrate nevertheless :)

Neat. Is the author of that piece of engineering known? What subcontractor company made this?

If I recall my catechism, by definition Catholicism is one of the bread of Christianism. Catholics tends to be much less extreme (than evangelicals) and don’t take the bible literally or something like that. They prey equally on children it seems so there are shared grounds.

About that last sentence; the same crap is creeping in Europe at the very least. There was another press release about the eu commission iirc welcoming a similar decision in spirit. Just not implemented at OS level but web-side.

Not sure or Asia and Africa are feeling about this but unfortunately USA is not alone. which in my opinion gives credits to the various theories that it’s being pushed by gafam.

I feel you… I went full electric and despite having solar I’m at about 300€ monthly. And that’s on top of the cost of solar and the production I get from the panels. The less we take on the grid the more expensive it is. Now we pay to inject our production when we don’t auto consume it. So all in all it’s always about paying more.

But at least we are not fucking up the air anymore which was the initial idea.

Eventually a line needs to be drawn. I think that publishing porn of any sort that flirts with cp is not acceptable, step or not. Same for loli anime content or the whole doll bullshit : if it looks like a kid just don’t.

All the rest if fine as long as it’s consensual.

Yeah not the usual breed are they? I’m from a catholics family and the horrors they enable are absolutely alien to the principles I grew up with. They whole of them would be ripe for hell if that was a thing…

And that since pretty much the invention of the printing press… « reality » actually has a very low appeal.

Cruelty is the point…

Holy moly that’s rough

Well so are our volunteers :) They have daytime jobs + firefighters by night or on the weekends. And they are paid / compensated for their hours in the service.

Yours are not?!

I suspect these policies often assume that either we live in startrek or we’re back to the woods and have no need for superconducting magnets :-/

In belgium the personal statute of the firefighters themselves doesn’t matter for the eventual invoice. Some services are paying, other are not (yet). They get compensated for their time though. Who the fuck would not compensate them for their services? I nearly lost my father a couple of times and I practically never saw him growing because he was so invested in that… imagine that for free…

Fair point. It’s so sad to think about artists being poor to start with :-/

How are agreed upon definitions remotely similar to religious beliefs ?

Those are a tad further than opinions and feelings I suspect. And also are absolutely unrelated to how religions are generating suffering and should be abolished.
