Remember my estimate that AI could require 8.7TWh per year just for Google and Bing?

Well, according to estimates cited in the peer-reviewed paper "The growing energy footprint of artificial intelligence" by Alex de Vries, it could be even worse, with estimates as high as 22.8 TWh/y and even 29.2 TWh/y for Google alone.

On July 22nd 2023, Analog Revolution gathered a horde of freaks, punks, anarchists, communists, witches, wizards, and emotionally stunted weirdos, and our little impromptu band of misfits descended on the usually respectable Gilmer Arts Playhouse in Ellijay, Georgia.
It's one of the best shows we've ever hosted, and among the best looking shows we've ever released. It's something that I am incredibly proud, honored, and privileged to be a part of. So come revel with us in the joy of loud, aggressive, and occasionally sloppy rock and/or roll.You could do a lot worse with your life.

- Meme template that reads "My Zombie Apocalypse Team" with 8 fields below, each with an image and a post assigned to it. The posts are team leader, brawler, weapons expert, brains, medic, pilot, mascot and the guy who dies first. This time each post is assigned to a different clone of Weyoun from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. (remote)

Re: national coming out day, I think a lot about older queer friends and relatives telling me about events in their lives, and how "then work found out, so I was fired" or "then my family found out, so I was kicked out of my home" is just like .. a 1+1=2 fact of reality in so many life stories.
It's good that that's not everyone's story anymore. But it's still way too many people. Good luck, everyone.

I've followed Bradley M. Kuhn's work on and off for years now, with huge respect for him. I absolutely hate he is having to go through this.
https://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2023/10/11/moglen-sflc.html
Co-Founder of #SoftwareFreedomConservancy, former #FSF Board member. If memory serves, he did GPL enforcement at the FSF before they had general counsel. Authored the original #AGPL.
He is being fucking terrorized and forcibly outed by Eben Moglen, former FSF general counselor, involved in the drafting of GPLv3. Founder of the #FreedomBox project.
I hope the FreedomBox foundation and the FSF choose to add their voices to the joint statements #FSFE and #SFC released.

11. The Hills Have Eyes (1977). Most obvious point of comparison for this is Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Though just like Last House on the Left, the people who begin as victims start responding with their own brutality and the movie even flips perspective in some scenes to frame the backwoods mutants in a way normally reserved for slasher victims.
