Right, but where is that record kept? Who keeps it? Who can change it?

Keep your own records independently of the company. Include when events happen and when you record/write them. Place them somewhere separately that you have limited access to, so no one can claim you made them up later.

Track your trip time. Track your gas. Track the decisions you make (example: fill up now vs later) and why you made them. Track inspections and their results. I'm sure there's more you can track, but I'm not a trucker. You know better than I do

Maybe you're already doing this, but I couldn't tell from your comment.

AI is often wrong. Sensors often get bad readings. It may falsely record bad behavior, so you need your own records to combat it.

So... I considered trying to start an energy-sustainable data center...

The math doesn't check out. One square meter of earth gets about 1,000 watts from sunlight. Our current solar panels only run at 20% efficiency at best. Servers I looked at average 500 watts... and we usually put a bunch of servers stacked up in a single rack, which you can only fit one of in one square meter.

As AI grows, it's only gonna get worse. We need nuclear or geothermal or hell, fusion if we can make it not 50 years away.

But it explains why Amazon and such are looking into smaller scale nuclear. Let's see how that goes I guess...

Edit: I'm not saying solar is a bad idea. We just need more energy production of many sorts

Hahaha yeah, area. It's roughly 11km x 11km. Much easier to have frequent transit in that small area. Most US cities are way bigger

The devs themselves are fine. It's the leadership that's cancer. Abusive leadership in Korean companies is actually a pretty well known issue. It's just more self-destructive in game companies, which I have direct experience with. So they did a lot to me and my friends. And said friends shared their stories of other Korean game companies.

You're absolutely right to question, especially with my level of anger, but I'm confident this one is justified.

Nah, you good. There's no way for you to know without way too much time investment.

New York, San Francisco, and maybe Chicago have workable systems. Atlanta's right on the edge, I would say. San Francisco seemed the best by far, but it still wasn't perfect. It also helps that San Francisco is tiny. I haven't been to Seattle or Portland, though. Maybe those are better

The smaller cities have super trash transit, mostly because they're too spread out

You're absolutely right. I was too focused. I crossed that out in my comment. Thanks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Very fair point. I was a bit hyper-focused. Will edit my previous comment

Define "need." Various luxuries are still valuable to people. You don't "need" the server that this Lemmy instance is running on, or the data center it's running in, or the power for that data center, or the energy sources for that power station. Well, the power gets into need territory, but you get the idea

In most US cities, no, it's not an option. But we should work to make it an option :)

Just gonna copy paste my comment on a related post...

Similar shit happened when they were PUBG Corporation. Fuck these lying assholes. Player Unknown was a smart, capable dude, and they exiled him to a remote office because he got pissed at the CEO for over-monetizing things in a way that cost them players.

When they released the battle pass while the game was retail, all of the non-Korean employees nearly revolted. It wasn't smart, and it was a money grab on the players. When the team lead of market research told the product manager that the feature was a bad idea and would lose them all their Western players, the product manager got him demoted and moved to another team.

When the numbers didn't look good, the data analysts were freaking out because they couldn't deliver bad news up the chain of command, even if it was accurate.

When they acquired Mad Glory, they promised that the dev team would still be contracted to other game companies to build APIs and tools for them, keeping the game industry tooling ecosystem healthy (think op.gg). When PUBG Corporation acquired them, the company canceled their contract with Bethesda for the API they were in the middle of building and forbade them from working with other companies.

Fuck Bluehole. Fuck PUBG Corporation. Fuck Krafton. Fuck game studios in Korea. Don't play Korean games. ~~Kpop and~~ cosmetics and whatever are chill. Don't play Korean games. Korean game companies are fucking cancer.

Don't buy Subnautica 2. The Subnautica franchise died when Krafton became the publisher.

Why YSK: If we want to keep the Fediverse in the hands of its users and prevent "enshittification" (search it), it's good to know how corporations kill grassroots projects like this.

I saw this in another thread on /c/Showerthoughts. I think it's important for this to be circulated widely so that the broader Fediverse community is aligned. We don't want admins second-guessing their decisions when users start infighting. We should be united in our thinking and ready to protect our platform.

 

I was thinking about patterns in history and was thinking about the fall of Rome. We all learn about the Roman Empire and the Renaissance, but I don't recall ever learning about the time in between. Sure, Rome's empire collapsed, but what happened next? City-states? A hollowed-out Republic? Anarchy? Did the goths raid and pillage everything? Did they just go back north? Did they settle in? I wanna know
