Unless gastown is sitting on one giant underground oil reservoir that they actively pump themselves … gastown will run out of fuel as fast as everyone else.

It very conveniently pumps it’s own oil from the sands! But fiction aside - I do think gas is a resource that would be processed and controlled throughout a mad max like downfall. Too much in war depends on fossil transport to allow that supply chain to crumble. Just reinforces the meme lol.

The newer movies expand the wasteland to three “fortresses” that factions fight for control: the citadel has a fresh water reservoir and food, the bullet farm was a mining town turned into an arms factory, and gastown controls an oil refinery that everyone depends on (and slaves to keep it working). Lore wise, gasoline is one of the commodities they’ve continued creating and exporting.

Gas Town of course

I’d enjoy seeing them in a more Yubaba style. Give em the gross details.

🍾👊🇺🇸🔥 = drink, fight (resist?), america’s burning?

I’m not good at this emoji stuff

Monsanto gets so much worse than polluting. They tried (succeeded? Not sure) in hooking farmers to only buying their seeds through genetic modification to grow anything. I remember huge protests, then we all sort of moved on.

Sinclair group in the US, bought up basically every local news station and began inserting propaganda into scripts as stories. Highly insidious because the older population generally trusted their local news anchors more than the national outlets.

GEO group, one of the largest private prison corporations that also manages ice detention facilities and many mental institutions, not sure I need to say much more.

I suppose it depends what I sent them to prompt the reply? “Dinner at 6?” followed by 👍 is fine. “My grandpop is dying, he may not make it through the week” -> 👍 would send me right off.

You can pass that my way if you’re not going to eat it, easily my favorite thanksgiving side dish.

Shitpost? This is kind of terrifying tbh

Oh, right, yes lol. And more notices hung at the empty shelves too.

Sue acme for damages, and kmart posts notices near the service counter to inform other buyers of the danger. I worked at kmart.

You guys still have Walmart? They ran our local stores out of town, then closed up shop themselves citing high theft. Now all that’s left is a 140,000 sqft husk of a store front that no business is interested in occupying and no one wants to pay to tear down

Raiden 5, or similar vertical shooter. Maybe pinball would be cool too.

I dont know of any directly comparable assistants from europe unfortunately. Mistral AI is French and produces a decent LLM, but I was underwhelmed with the software ecosystem. It’s essentially just a chatbot.

I’ve been doing a 90 day test of perplexity pro and so far it’s my front runner. They recently released an assistant that can launch in place of google assistants, it’s able to use screen context and interact with some apps, you can limit what info they collect, they don’t sell your data, and it connects to multiple models.

For a private voice group, could you use something like mumble? It’s still out there, doing voice well.

Reddit (and by extension, Lemmy) likely wouldn’t exist without Kevin Rose. He both popularized the concept of user driven link aggregators and royally screwed digg during a big redesign, pushing the users to reddit.

Alexis Ohanian is generally considered a “better” cofounder of reddit (or atleast, not spez). I think the two combining forces to relaunch an OG site is newsworthy.

If it’s a positive, will remain to be seen. I won’t go back to a closed/non-federated platform, personally.
