Because they live in a future where they don't know what dystopian means

Yup. As a developer who maintains a snap, I hate snaps. Worst packaging obstacle course I’ve ever had to participate in.

Yup! Sometimes I'll hear a door opening creek or spell casting sound from Morrowind in my kid's youtube videos. I'm just waiting to hear "wololololo" somewhere now.

No. But I’ll readily admit to upvoting stuff like this submission.

My account will auto delete after 30 days? That’s actually pretty nice if true.

Not much to be honest so it's not really a loss

Wow. Glad I'm not putting energy into Twitter any longer.

But I can remember last Thursday!

How do they create more ewaste though? Like many others report my experience is that apple products routinely last multiple times longer than other tech. I only just last week retired a MacBook bought in 2013, and it still worked just fine.

Yeah I’d never touch anything Oracle. Don’t reward horrible behavior. Best thing the industry can do is ignore them as much as possible and let them fade away.

Then I give 1/799th of a shit about this.

I believe it. The consultant may change more things in the world but I don’t see how that change is necessarily a “contribution”. More like an optimization for a small set of people. The line cook however is creating from raw something that

Correct, these components were evolved. But, even my human creative process is somewhat evolutionary. The bad ideas fail internal tests and are mutated on, then more successful variants are used to repeat the process. That's intelligen

Yup. You need an AGI behind that vision for that premise to work. Even a fruit-fly class AGI would do it.

That’s the beauty of it

I think even that was seen as a potential “guilty conscience” risk if things went into litigation, so best to just let people suffer and die, that’s less expensive.

This is probably the most ridiculous statement I've read all week. It's only Wednesday, but still.

Can confirm. My house is full of unreliable bespoke crap. Looking forward to a non-smart home next.

I dunno, I rather enjoy standing in the dark for 45 seconds while I toggle my phone’s wifi on and off and wait for my Hue app to try connect and then agree to a surprise 80 page EULA and a lecture about how Philips cares about my privacy so

That's the impression I get from his videos as well.

Who cares? Build what you want. I liked your idea.

> 70% of the world’s population was killed by NEOBOLA-26 but at least they signed the EULA. I’m making fun, but this is one class of knowledge I’m worried about. However, outlawing it doesn’t seem like a solution either.

I think you might end up with a new array of moods and attentional dysfunctions, maybe some depression, but essentially it would still be you.

Very true. From the perspective of something like a Tardigrade we are definitely well into a “singularity”. From the perspective of a rock the Tardigrade itself is matter experiencing a “singularity”.

Too clever by half

Does anyone have a preferred resource for someone who wants to learn more about what a “processed” or “ultra processed” food is? The nova scale seems pretty vague but I get the point. I could probably tell the difference on the shelf with g

I read somewhere that it was traveling at about three football fields per Abraham Lincoln fart.

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you simply are unaware of the physical realities (re: limitations) of micro USB and not actively trying to mislead but here’s a real anecdote from someone who routinely repaired micro USB and ligh

Thank you, pretty shocking to be honest

Completely agree. Near my house is an outdoor playground with a spongy floor made of recycled tires and god knows what else that STINKS during the day. There’s no way they know the origin of all of the materials they’ve made into this playg
