If it takes thousands of years, monitoring air density can probably give you at least a couple centuries heads-up, like “we expect in 150 years from now that the atmosphere will thin to the point our cities lose buoyancy. That gives us approximately five generations to think of a solution.”

Maybe land in the water that you plan to introduce? By the way, where’s that coming from?

But the cyanobacteria will take time to work. What about the thousands of years in the meantime?

You’ve apparently never met Chinese tourists…

Everyone in the comments is acting so surprised, like did they think he would turn into a square just because he won an election?

But then again, it’s twatter, so anyone still on there is either an uncritical automaton or a neonazi…

If they’re selling at wholesale prices, there won’t be any profit. That’s the idea.

It’s a good idea. Food should be distributed as efficiently as possible, and a city funded by people’s taxes should do that for them. It makes total sense. And sourcing products from local businesses is just a bonus.

That’s atrocious.

The optics don’t need to get any worse, they’re already murdering people in broad daylight…

It’s sad how accurate this is…

Why do you say wormholes are impossible? We don’t need a reason to believe it, because what we do or don’t believe doesn’t change whether or not something is possible.

Humans didn’t have a reason to believe in electricity until they did. Humans didn’t have a reason to believe in computers until they did. Humans didn’t have a reason to believe in gravity, nuclear energy, relativity, or quantum mechanics until they did. Same deal for germs, internet, cell phones, the list goes on.

Point is, until someone solves Unified Field Theory and unless it definitively proves that wormholes, alternate dimensions, and parallel universes are fundamentally impossible, we can’t claim to know what isn’t possible a hundred or a thousand years from now.

We might not have a particular reason to believe, but we don’t have any reason to disbelieve, either.

Unfortunately, the odds seem to be favoring the technofeudalism. But you never know, maybe a catastrophic breakdown of society could lead to a more enlightened civilization generations later…

Cloud Atlas was an interesting film about how things like this can change over time on a grand scale.

Isn’t Venus’s atmosphere dense? If so, you could just float a Bespin-like Cloud City on a convenient layer of the atmosphere to avoid the boiling temperatures below and the crushing weight of the air…

Okay, that’s a lot of someones. That doesn’t contradict “someone has forked it.” You’re being unnecessarily assy.

As per other comments, sudo-rs exists and is being maintained. And that’s the magic of FOSS.

Although it’s apparently not a fork. But it’s still a workable substitute, and that’s what matters. My entire point was that the entire Linux ecosystem isn’t going to be fucked just because one guy dies or decides to stop maintaining a widely used codebase.

Thank fuck. Thanks for letting me know

“And who built those bridges?”

“Mugatu!”

Wow, thanks for ruining it for me. Doesn’t Musk own paypal?

I recently got excited when I noticed some nice, obscure finds on ebay. Some vintage stuff, some handcrafted stuff, some really niche hobby stuff. But I’m not ordering from a company owned by Musk.

I haven’t ordered from amazon in years. But when I found out they own Abebooks it was a sad day…

Exactly. That’s why the commodification of education is a travesty that can’t be overstated…

Like this one, for instance…
