This was shown before the sentencing. The judge referenced it explicitly in their sentencing as a reason to apply leniency.

From a comment above:

Here’s what the judge had to say:

“I loved that AI, and thank you for that. As angry as you are, and as justifiably angry as the family is, I heard the forgiveness, and I know Mr. Horcasitas could appreciate it, but so did I,” Lang said immediately before sentencing Horcasitas. “I love the beauty in what Christopher, and I call him Christopher—I always call people by their last names, it’s a formality of the court—but I feel like calling him Christopher as we’ve gotten to know him today. I feel that that was genuine, because obviously the forgiveness of Mr. Horcasitas reflects the character I heard about today. But it also says something about the family, because you told me how angry you were, and you demanded the maximum sentence. And even though that’s what you wanted, you allowed Chris to speak from his heart as you saw it. I didn’t hear him asking for the maximum sentence.”

Of course. Look at the “network state” concept that the alt right tech bros love.

Tiny nation states ruled by the elites, where laws and rights are set not by a wide ranging view of human rights, but by those in power. One of your only rights is the ability to leave. To where? Who knows, and surely nit with all your valuables going with you. No voting, not basic dignity, nothing else if the techo kings dont want to provide it. Corpo kings, contract as the only law.

The end state of the above and fascism is the same. A ruling class that sets the rules, and a citizenry that has to abide by them, or else.

Is it literal fascism? Who knows. Are you under the boot of a privileged class, at the full mercy of their whims just like monarchy or fascism? Yes indeed.

D works well. Being dead puts you in a decent “no one to fool with” category.

Fucker cant even do a prat fall at this point.

There is no form factor of power generation that could match nuclear on something as “small” and dense as an aircraft carrier.

Solar is a no go due to just surface area and the challenges of salt water. The only consistent things left are petrol and nuclear, and of the two, nuclear is better in every way but cost.

It is wacky that “hot rock make steam. Steam makes turbine go” is how like 95% of all civilization exists, but man when we stumbled on a winner in the 1800s, we just went all in on it.

100% steam. Steam makes the electricity, locomotion, desalination and the plane catapults go on that class of carrier. The reactors and salt water make the various types of steam used in the various systems.

Limitless water is a neat hack when you couple it with limitless heat.

That carrier is using steam powered propellers. Luckily the steam is “pushed” by a couple of large nuclear reactors, so it’s got plenty of juice.

Im all fucked up about the lemmy communities. I misread the subreddit list in a powertripping mods thread as a lemmy community list. Ill edit the above comments.

Im all fucked up on the lemmy mod comment. I misread his subreddits as lemmy communities in the power tripping mod thread I linked above. I’ve removed that now.

I think you misread my post. Im not defending fosstodon or carrotcypher, I was asking for more clarity about the issues.

Reading up on him in the linked posts, he looks like a big piece of shit that shouldn’t be moderating a large mastodon instance. It’s clear he abuses his power there and on the 50 communities here on lemmy he mods to silence discussion that doesn’t align with his views.

You opting to “not look into them” is the same stance as the Fosstodon admins, and honestly, not a good choice.

The link above requires going to a sublink that is long but also very vague to find out the core issue. That link has basically no call outs for a callout post, just byzantine commentary about fosstodons overall code of conduct.

Which fosstodon mod engaged in what racist/anti-lqbt behavior? Where is the admins reply when they were notified about the above behavior?

EDIT: found this post of the mods issues. The feckless Admin response is here.

The existential horror story Lena comes to mind.

It’s excellent, but horrible.

They had near 100% EV market share just a few years back.

Losing half the market in 3-4 years is a huge change for any company, even if some of it was inevitable as rivals caught up and suprassed their offerings.

The president of el Salvador publicized them first, while the meeting was ongoing.

They staged the meetup for propaganda. They weren’t going to let that go to waste.

This is the world’s largest thorium reactor. There have been other experimental ideas, but not many operational ones. The next largest operational Thorium reactor I can find is called kamini in India, which is 30kw. For scale, China’s reactor is 2000kw.

3Okw is a toy. That would power maybe 10 US homes. 2000kw? That’s more like 600 homes. Small, but usable. Fits the SMR niche well, actually. Making 1/1000th of the radioactive waste and basically no weapons grade materials locks in there too.

The article makes it very clear its running continuously, which is what they are celebrating. They have successfully refueled it while operating, which is a huge part of the “continuous.”

The article is all of 6 paragraphs. It’s not a difficult read.

Fascism is when government and corporate powers fully mix.

So literally yes. This is proto-facism, writ large.

6 x 6 mothefuckers. Y’all tell me that didn’t immediately form “36” in your brain.

Seems like the teacher was ahead of their time, or way behind it depending on whether they drew inspiration from Moms for liberty or Adolf Hitler.

It has many directions, not none.

Same problem, different cause.

They build a mars base, we build a rail gun.

Works for me.

$2300, and that assumes that they can even get the materials.

China has silently stopped shipping a lot of metals used in high tech applications that it controls 90% of the stock of. The 10%? Our previous trade partners Canada and Australia, who aren’t big fans right now.
