As a retired journalist, I'm just gonna say it: The reason that journalism and reporting a news media tends to become left wing over time is because the people writing the news and trying to stay neutral are paying attention. You canno

Hey there! I opened Resedit and began deleting things in the System suitcase. Jammed the emulator up pretty good! Reloaded the page and it rebooted. Great work!

This is indicative of what I think is the primary problem we're all dealing with: we are all told to buy EVs and compost and recycle. It's OUR fault the Earth is dying. The consumers.... Which is HORSESHIT. Doritos bags made of sh

There's one of these outside of Petaluma, CA. Google Map it. I don't want to link to it because the locals are a bit not OK with people hording onto it. It's a small, remote road, but legit.

It did, indeed, have amazing alien races, extremely unique and original. Everything from the crystaline Chenjesu to the Used-to-steal-humans-and-probe-them-but-they're-not-aliens-they-are-pan-dimensional-beings Arilulaleelay, to the co

What really scares me is the TV ads. People like Big Papi and Matt Damon advertising Crypto buying platforms to people during football games is HORRIFYING. Once I saw those ads, I knew the end was near, and that these crypto platforms had l

Easy to explain: Some MBA who likes games has been given THE spreadsheet for the Humble company. He or she is now moving things around on the spreadsheet as a daily function of their job.

Incorrect: stamps have a very distinct use. NFTs are just humongous numbers that are metaphorically associated with some.... thing.

100% agree. Leave Facebook and social. IRC is much better. Frankly, context is the issue. My group of friends should not intersect with some other random group of friends. Content should remain within its context. Sharing to everyone is the

I suppose so, but I don't think this was something that needed to be decided in court. 100% of software engineers had decided this was fair use already, and built the world on top of this principle. Oracle wasn't even testing the

Let's hope this is the end. This law suit was a nuclear weapon that could have destroyed the entire API economy. Oracle was irresponsible bringing this suit.

Red Hat is hiring just about everything, from PMs to PMMs to engineers to directors and VPs. We're looking for Kubernetes and Linux people, too! Red Hat has not been ruined by IBM, and even Gartner just admitted this fact after 2 years

I mean, yeah. This is not something I WANT to happen. Just, it's probably going to happen, and honestly, it'll probably worse than Nazi Germany. I'm not trying to be some kind of Gaia-theory genocidal advocate. Just a realist

I don't think we'd set up an embassy with the ants and sign trade agreements with them...

by VonGuard 5y ago
Effectively, we're the same as gorillas and ants on the cosmic scale, so this is not a good analogy. Humans communicating with amoeba would be a better one. But even so, we're not establishing diplomatic embassies and trade agreem

Definitely agree. Humanity becoming an ingrained part of that living brain would exemplify a giant step forward in evolution for us, and growth for the brain. A maturation.

Is that talking to ants, or is that running experiments on them? Because those are two VERY different things. Additionally, talking to an alien race the size of a planet, is probably like speaking Ent: a human's lifespan is likely not
