@joshuaelliott I can't recall how it was before, maybe there was a paid tier when I last played? But now there's "Alpha" (free accounts) and "Omega" (paid, allows access to higher tiers of things)

A bit frustrating that I have skills like Mining Barge V and a 70M ISK mining barge in a station somewhere, but I can't use them because they're locked behind "Omega"

@uhhuhthem I need someone to get a solid 8 hours of sleep. Doesn't need to be all in the same night, though that is preferred. Can pay in advance. I can only afford €3/hr. Please let me know where to forward payment.

@kevbob Saying the cringiest stuff to your teenager is a huge parenting perk

@joshuaelliott I probably haven't touched this character in a decade so I'm absolutely erring on the side of caution while I orient myself :D

Kinda takes a while to get anywhere in EVE Online, eh? For some reason I'm 28 jumps away from the agent for the starter AIR Career Program.

Please don't take either of these links as endorsements, especially the second one which is a) on substack, and b) by an Effective Altruism person 🚩🚩🚩

EA is literally the Torment Nexus. It's like doing the trolley problem with real trolleys instead of recognising that the trolley itself is the issue

@ashley it's gotten so much better since the float days!

Re: that "we did the math on ai's energy footprint" article, what was that other article/blog post that trended a couple weeks back about how AI energy use was a non-issue? Would love to compare the points from the two posts. :boost_no:
