"it's a disgrace how many communities have moved from the open internet into Discord" Why? Its primary use for me is having small, private communities of people who aren't entirely anonymous to eachother and isn't…
Man that sucks. I gotta get my stuff out of google docs. Does anyone know of a good alternative?
I'm fine with these games being pumped out endlessly, just like flash games were. If we want to have 10,000 versions of flappy bird I guess that's fine - But we need a way to sort them that's a bit better. Its getting…
Good point. I used to think it was silly to idolize sports stars, but they worked incredibly hard with honest toil and usually a lot of study to be where they are. Heirs of big fortunes, mendacious politicians &…
The word choice example is cool. I wonder if it really works dependably. I'm sure many many exerpts in posts and books have those same 8 bits - you'd need a lot more bits - but the more you add the more strange your…
Thanks. These paragraphs are pretty damning: "At one point, the processor rejected as fraudulent more than 80% of the deposits it was handling, a rate that far exceeded industry standards of roughly 1%. Polymarket…
That's true. And car commercials that get people to buy fancy new cars are really well figured out and seem to seriously work. Why fix something that isn't broken? Real estate is interesting because they seem to be…
I don't belive you can patent gameplay. You can't say "I'm going to patent the idea that you all go around a board buying land and getting cash, if your player moves to someone else's land they have to pay them rent."…
Wow that is very very cool. Thank you very much for digging that up & sharing the link! Sometimes visuals like that really help me process information.
Definitly seeing this with video games. Especially ones that are easy to make and have generic names. I mean you could already easily clone those before, but now 10 people will easily clone them. See this amusing reddit…
I think what we might be moving towards is the idea that rings are kinda dumb. Rings make our figers less mobile, harder to clean, get in the way of our delicate hand-tasks, scratch things our hands are manipulating,…
Uh... and Iran and the Straight of Hormuz?? Did you forget to mention that? Is that an election issue? And who funds the Houthis? And why would they want to close the straight to us? Is it something to do with…
Twitter is far from special. So I guess you're missing out on all the friends and connections and interesting conversations you have not made on Threads, Facebook, Linkedin, instagram, tiktok, reddit, bluesky, mastodon,…
I wonder if there's a blog or something that tells the story of how good car design went off the rails. I'm pretty sure that there was a culture of design that gradually worked out what a great car is like until…
Its a fun game! The only thing I would add is the ability to see the players cry and lose their quarters after you smash their ship.
That reddit thread is worth a look. Yikes.
If you look at these AI get-rich-quick bros they haven't thought through target markets and stuff, they just push this out there and hope, and if it doesn't work they push out another thing. I'm sure some actually do…
I see. And how do you you know that elon, a notably close supporter of the president didn't have anything to do with the Artemis program? I notice that Chinese electric vehicles are essentially banned in the US, but…
How is landing on the moon not a publicity stunt? What can the humans do that massively cheaper robots couldn't - besides take some awesome photos and bring back some more moon rocks? Of course there have long been…
Humans weren't built to live in massive societies with 100s of millions of people. No wonder we love minecraft and Satisfactory and playing murder-hobos in ttrpgs. I would be in favor of restructuring society to be in…
As I see it Musk is lobbying the goverment to give him money to do useless stuff & expensive in space like land on the moon again - basically redirecting funds away from useful stuff like the James Webb Telescope for…
Where to go to see the internet is blessed with a future of truth, fraternity and general goodness?
I mean its so much easier to do stuff the Stasi could only dream of with technology today.
The polls I've seen make it seem like there's much more public distress about AI than excitement, so yeah. Honestly pushing ai into people's faces and talking non-stop about how great it is really has a negative effect…
Its commonly said by people who seem to love this tech that we don't get to have a right to privacy in public spaces (anywhere but shut inside our houses with the window blinds drawn) but it appears now we also don't…
