@ppb1701 @buherator 😅 Fired, too.

@buherator @AAKL In old age trying to impress people or if still in jail. "Yeah when I was younger I was such a badass they had to..."

@buherator @AAKL Well that's a good way to get jailed/fined into oblivion or literally blasted into oblivion...

@ppb1701 @elpais_america So the shipping balance of power will effectively move to the West. The consequences for developing countries will be devastating.

@ppb1701 @elpais_america Canada might actually like that? Sigh. While this route will only work for several months a year, it will kill off the other routes. For developing countries, that would be a real problem.

@AAKL @elpais_america I random deep dive geography videos 🤷‍♂️ among other random topics

@AAKL @elpais_america Canada is somewhat open to having the route I think from some of what I saw....but as it cuts thru their country they view it as Canadian Waters not international. Also good thing to note one of the other dangers is that there are few points of resupply or rescue up there as it's well into the artic, so for it to be super viable someone would likely have to invest a lot in infrastructure. Traditionally there's reasons most towns and cities are further south.

Ergo the lust for Greenland. The implications are staggering. And ...

"It also positions Russia as the arbiter."

"The Northern Sea Route allows for greater ship turnover. It reduces fuel consumption — which is crucial in times of scarcity — and it avoids the risk of armed attacks."

@AAKL @elpais_america I've seen some videos recently on potential for a northern sea route. Panama canal has traffic and size limits, going below south america is long and well quite dangerous. People have dreamed of a northern passage for centuries, it's just been rather limited time and quite risky for ice and shallow areas. Those get less as ice melts and doesn't refreeze as much year to year. The other trick is a lot of that passage (I've heard of) is right thru the middle of Canada.

@mike805 oh totally, or when one misses the announcement and suddenly it's a metered price on someone's astronomical bill for the month.

@ppb1701 Unlimited cloud AI also has an expiration date. You will know when it hits you in the face.

Netflix also used to eat costs to get customers. This has been the entire history of the commercial Internet. They give away value at first and then they take it back.

Nope, and if you have illusions about that, you'll have to shelve them or go to court as others have done.

Oh look not only will AI screen your resume and filter you without a human seeing it....soon you wont even have to look or apply yourself! 🙄

Xbox admitted it loses money every time someone streams Fortnite, then made that your problem. Ultimate's had unlimited cloud since 2020 — gone in November, capped to 15 hours. Steam Deck owners with no other way to play these games get hit hardest. Real reason isn't server costs, it's a scapegoat for years of bad bets.

This is your daily reminder that ransomware is alive and left entirely unchecked because we are too busy hacking each other so AI companies can dominate what's left of the cybersecurity industry. But don't let this stop you.
