Probably 5 minutes or so. 10 if I include the time spent driving there. Usually it’s quiet enough that it’s not waiting in line but rather waiting to have everything sorted out.

TL:DR:

Government contracts and the money that it brings with it. As well as tryingt to be on a certain politicians good side should he win the election in the US.

Obviously… Ubisoft

FDP politicians doing dumb shit? Never heard that one before…

Great. When do we stop giving them money and strip them of all their rights within the EU? And keep it that way until they either leave or correct that behaviour.

Come on… Shitty safety measures have never, ever, in the history of mankind led to catastrophic events with a lasting fallout. -some government that collapsed

After all after some point safety is just pure waste of money. -some dead CEO

It doesn’t take enshittification for something real bad to happen. All it takes is time. Add the mentioned enshittification and corner cutting and we know for sure what will happen…

Or how the saying in EvE online goes : it’s not a question on if your ship gets blown up but a question of when it gets blown up.

He’s so boned… Done goofed up now!

“prison warden advocates for locking everyone up for their own safety”

The network providers know full well that the market is saturated and that they have to make a better offer if they want to gain market share. The only thing device lock in does is improve their bottom line since they can force you into a shitty contract for longer. It has NO benefit for the consumer whatsoever.

What a bogus bit of research. “So, our research shows that we can indeed infer political leanings from a person’s consumption and lifestyle choices.” No you fuckwits, all you can tell from your bloody research is that people make assumptions about other people on choices they made. Even more so if you then assume a theoretical other person to exist and have stereotyped the choices.

It really feels more like they wanted to make a point and worked backwards to get there.

Blocked instance… They can figure their stuff out without me because I don’t want anything to do with them.

Cool. But I can’t help the fact that it feels like a potential security risk to me. It is not unknown just how low they can stoop to get their way so I would expect that to be no different there.

Now that’s one shit experiment to figure something specific out.

Why not both?

I do give a shit, and at this point I want to see that platform taken down for good. Because otherwise it’s a platform for nefarious shit and abuse. And no one needs that. Especially not the gullible.

Everyone else could just say :" the rules say… But you don’t give a fuck about the rules so we won’t do that either. Get dumped…" And then just exclude him everywhere and revoke their access and all that. But that is unlikely to happen for reasons. But they could…

It’s an effect that our conservatives from CDU and CSU as well as liberals from FDP are denying to exist and are decrying the fact that it costs money (and helps the average guy, but they can’t say that out loud)

Hmm, I tend to do initial processing at the extraction location if it’s beneficial or neutral. No need to ship all the raw ore around unless I can’t simply do that for one reason or another. Then everything gets shipped to the big factory at the space elevator.

I then figure out what end product I need and how much and put the required machines into a building. I then build other building which do the inputs for that till I finally arrive at the raw ore or the pre processed stuff like iron ingots.

Basically clusters of buildings that provide output as necessary either with a bit of over production or underclocked to match.

I call it modular factory because I don’t care about having all of my screws coming from one place and only one place. It also means that it’s all custom built and not with blueprints. But at least it kinda looks like a computer Mainboard from above.

Pump powered? Pump pointing the right way? Pump low enough that it’s still in headlift from a previous pump?

Contrary to other people I am not terminally online reading every last discussion everywhere. Even if I did I would probably not remember all of them.

And all that is besides the point anyways, not everything you see online is necessarily written at face value. So really, why so serious?

Why choose the moon when you can choose the sun. That’s the hot new destination to be at. It also has a rather bright future ahead of it.
