@nixCraft educated guess? Whoever set the parameters for that image is under 30 and has no idea cobol runs everything that makes society work.

Charged particles from the sun collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, creating stunning displays of pink, scarlet, and green lights in the sky. Geomagnetic Storms cause this incredible phenomenon. However, these storms can also significantly impact modern infrastructure. If these storms are strong, all of our heavy dependence on GPS and computers can be wiped out in an instant. Fortunately, nothing bad has happened so far. Earth page is tracking it https://www.earth.com/news/noaa-issues-severe-geomagnetic-storm-watch-first-time-since-2005/

    @dansup @evan @cwebber @thisismissem @Claire @lanodan @trwnh @grishka @smallcircles @deadsuperhero I guess it depends on if you are doing anything important. If you’re just facilitating people like myself posting our random shit to the internet, while we appreciate it, let’s face it - you could stop tomorrow and it would make no difference.

    Was Devin's demo staged? Well, color me surprised! 😅 It is like VCs like scam artists more as they throw millions into any random AI startup. Why do governments allow this kind of fake demos? Even Google got away with a phony demo of their AI. Google is a public trading company, yet no action has been taken against them. https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=xfDb-NhQfUg1zXWb&v=tNmgmwEtoWE&feature=youtu.be

    Man ..... I really like physical media, but this seems to assert that anything was available on physical media and that was not the case. Motherfuckers need to look up "the disney vault" or be old enough to have tried buying anime in about 1994.

    The idea programming being unavailable due to streaming/this is a new problem is a fucking myth.
