Hey, I could at least observe superconductors at home!

Whelp, time to reinstall it again! Thnaks!

Deus Ex. A strangely prescient game that had shaped how I view the world.

The need to be observed and understood was once satisfied by God. Now we can implement the same functionality with data-mining algorithms. You will soon have your God… and you will make it with your own hands.

Look up Tom Christie.

It’s an acquired taste.

Is this what he does between two Destiny 2 rants?

Same way ofcom expects anyone outside UK to pay up, I guess.

Oh yes, because it’s not like Nigel Farage, Victor Orban and a bunch of other populists didn’t make use of US companies and advisors (and russian funds…) on how to best fracture societies to their end. Clearly nuking the internet would put an end to that, and all would be well.

Unironically yes. Otherwise the internet as we know it is very much over, and what we have instead is a mesh of country-nets.

I mean, what is actually “doing business” when it comes a simple web page or a forum for example? Merely existing and being reachable.

If you’re ok with this then imagine your local lemmy instance getting fined by China/Qatar/Thailand/etc for posting something breaking their laws.

Ah yes, the sim city way. Shit, I created bhopal v2. Uhhh, let’s just zone these guys a few blocks to the left!

All the idiots.

Old enough to know I’m way into the B side of my cassette,sadly.

Meh, back in the days we’d watch youtubepoop videos and whatnot. Nonsense you like os funny, nonsense you don’t is brainrot.

That’s some rather unrealistic optimism unless someone slipped some speed in his coffee.

Holy crap, this still exists.

It’s not a requirement per se, but people without social skills make contact with others harder. The proliferation of online “meeting places” lead to the degradation of social skills that is then making people connect more difficult, making everyone lonelier.

In my opinion at least.

Amateurs, I doubt there’s a place I haven’t crashed into yet

People nowadays seem to forget that socialising is a skill. And to learn a skill one must learn by putting effort into and initially failing a lot.

Social platforms give the sensation of allowing one to skip this by jumping straight into ongoing conversations for a brief post, but that’s also not building any social skill.

Talk of the devil, is btrfs still wearing SSDs a lot?
