It seems anything that isn’t the Unix way of doing things can be questioned.

I think Unix is the thing that indirectly gets questioned most often, because everyone wants to be on the “right” side of how to unix things (see latest rust in kernel for a very recent example). When I think about it, unix alone feels like a recurring xkcd standards comic

And, the next ultra-big step: How would a non-techie figure this shit out?

They wouldn’t, because the people calling the shots in the tech world create UX with a focus on it sucking for everyone

My dummy understanding is that each instance could be considered a “client”, in the sense that they’re always on the lookout for data from other instances whenever the latter generates new content. Either that or, when one connected user checks what’s on a different instance, it downloads to the local cache, ie: if I, from programming.dev, am the first to check this thread, a copy gets saved locally (cache) in the programming.dev server, which might check back on the original source in the case of any edits.

Or DYson Bubbles, which would also “cover” enough “surface” to be viable without needing god knows how many planets’ worth of material

Their rule was so administratively superior that they did not need to have any physical records of anything they did, thus baffling archaeologists, accountants and managers worldwide

tfw you play Victoria 3 but it doesn’t have a “swiss retirement fund” like Tropico

Can’t you assassinate them instead? Success and failure both greatly reduce relations to boot

Please don’t remind me 😢 😭

Mech enthusiasts: listen here, you little shit

… Get out of my way! 🔫 🗳

I know it’s true because I was there. I was the hiking trial

Judging by the in-game screenshots with huge on screen buttons, it seems MS’s lack of quality control is somehow even worse than Google’s, as the game is not on the play store.

The game is “real”, but everything is pretty blatantly done with AI, even the game description

EDIT: Seems that MS took it down, lol

Or witnessed one or two escapes

Question: if we bridge 2 ais and let them talk to one another, will they eventually poison each other with gibberish bullshit?

Can we at least get cool mechs? Or will reality continue being this shitty dystopia with nearly all of the bad and none of the cool?

I recall watching a singer saying something like the following during an interview “If art and culture are so worthless, return all the time you spent watching movies and series, return all the time you spent listening to music, all the poems and lyrics you sang with friends or to loved ones. I won’t ask you to return the stories you read because it’s clear you don’t read.”

Ah, the Amiga, the best computer you could get in '86, but didn’t know about because their marketing was shit

I can watch two of those per workday, on my bus commute to/from work. Usually end up watching history documentaries instead (currently going through a 6 hours one detailing the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, gonna be an interesting week)
