I always thought what would kill Microsoft is their greed and insistence that their products should have a high price, remember how expensive office used to be even for regular people?
So I always thought the solution was just go get everyone to pirate their stuff as much as possible.
Never thought they would make themselves irrelevant by just making their products worse.
I used to want a windows surface, now I just want a good Linux optimized laptop.
The only good thing out of NFTs was that I learned what fungible means.
Anyone else a little surprised by the realization that if an enemy took out all datacenters it would actually improve a lot of things and take us back 20 years to the golden age of the internet?
Not sure what you mean, but yes hyper competitiveness leads to less value for human life.
My point was that it’s a negative sum game, we are all competing with each other in an unhealthy manner, in which we are all poorer collectively as a result.
And it’s not even helping evolution since merit isn’t correlated to financial success.
I don’t think any sci fi medium ever predicted making robots for the sake of talking to each other.
The fuck is the benefit.
Usually when robots start talking to each other, that’s the start of the conflict in the book.
Since as humans we essentially rule the earth, it makes a lot of sense for us to adapt to a new reality that shouldn’t need fear.
But that’s assuming we wouldn’t just spend all our time competing with each other in a negative sum game.

Without clicking I knew who you linked to.
It’s things like this that make me, as a man, to prefer male servers/drivers.
If women chose other women, that’s fine but I do feel bad about the men getting less work, so I think it’s only fair to balance the demand gap by allowing men to chose male servers/drivers.
That behaviour would probably have the opposite effect that the people who created this rule would want.
Refusing AI by using an AI generated meme?
But why?

While I would trust that for a FOSS app, it would be too easy for a proprietary app to just “backup” your data.
With the physical method, everyone can be sure they are anonymous through common sense.
How about a system where I can go physically to a shop, show them my id, then the clerk allows me to buy a box of tokens that I picked up myself from the shelf.
I can pay with cash, the clerk just looks at my face and ID, nothing gets entered into the system.
Then I have a bag of tokens that could have various expire dates. Some could last years. They are not tied to any person in anyway but only adults could access them.
And yes, I can totally give it to some kids, but that’s no different than me buying kids alcohol.
Still better than the sandwich from WWI
Por que no los dos?
I use voyager and it’s a link that opens loops in safari.
I mean, it works as in it plays, but I’m guessing it’s trying to be like tik tok or something so it’s not a traditional video player?
While I am pro loop cause it’s federated,
Why doesn’t it play like a normal video with seekbar and full screen?
Ideally yeah but what if big tech controls all the jobs cause they just keep acquiring other companies?
Don’t get me wrong it was a good episode but
She killed Silco, I hated that, especially given how jinx saw him as a father figure and Silco fully said that he would never give her up.
Then she just fires at the council, I get how she is a wildcard but that imo was too far even for her.
Man, I want to watch it again now
Ah I see what you mean, I kind of meant that with my poorly worded take on jinx being impulsive.
I thought their strategy was to work on characters in the first season and basically focus on plot in the second. I did enjoy the second season very much but it did have a different feel to it.
I personally didn’t love how they ended the first season and imo the first season third episode was the highlight of season 1. Season 2 also had episode 7 which imo was very good world building with a clever twist. So given all that I didn’t feel a big drop in quality from 1 to 2.
Maybe I would on the second watch
Not op but nope. Same with office as well.
There are just some people that enjoy watching others be uncomfortable and I think it’s correlated with having less empathy.
When I watched the office, I just felt bad for Michael.
A lot of those shows just focus on punching down.
