IDK, in a dystopian capitalism end state blowing shit up while giggling sounds like good mental health to me

I like the time they implied it would somehow protect people from sexual assault, but just ended up just revealing how personal the data they have can be

They would have to be more scummy and also at least similarly competent… Google can’t innovate for crap, but they’re pretty good at maintaining projects (when they don’t randomly kill them off)

If they stop work on chromium, or belief in the stewardship of chromium wanes, it’ll fragment the ecosystem again. Which is sorely needed at this point - we need to get back to standards and away from centralized control

Imagine Twitter/musk acquires them. Microsoft, Apple, and many other big companies directly or indirectly rely on a chain now controlled by a group known for mismanagement - are they going to wait and see, or are they going to diversify?

They do… It’s just not expected that they won’t

Pains of being a prototype democracy and all… If only the founding fathers had explicitly told us our system would need reform as issues came up

All of that makes me nauseous.

You’re free to use what you want to use, but the layers of dependency on vulnerable product lines is exactly the problem

Sure you can, outside of a few specific carve outs it’s a civil matter… Meaning it takes money to fight money behind it

I really like my wired-wireless earbuds. They wrap around my neck and the magnets keep them in place like a necklace when not in use, the microphone/controls are closer to your mouth so the sound quality tends to be better

But of course, we can’t have nice things anymore, so they seem to be phasing them out

Probably so they can be stored carelessly in dirty warehouses that may or may not control for humidity

Sprint merged with TMobile

No no no, it is in fact still hammer time, but there are 26 main types of hammer and countless subtypes

Nope. It’s unambiguously not federated. It maybe could be, if you take their words at face value

I think there might be some adapters bridging the distance… But the short answer is no, the long answer is not really

I just think this is sad.

This is a person who believes if they go to Southeast Asia, they can easily find a life partner who fits their expectations about what that means

There’s nothing intrinsically wrong about that - it’s very naive, but only that. It’s not intrinsically racist or sexist - they might also be racist and sexist, in which case I’ll feel significantly less bad for them.

They might also just be genuinely clueless and/or neurodivergent… Propaganda works. Especially on those who haven’t been inoculated through experience or instincts

No we won’t. This is the end game. We’re 2 decades, conservatively, from the singularity. Everything could collapse at any time. Either one could happen next year, next decade, or never. One of those will happen within the lifetime of most people alive today

There is an end to the bullshit, and you’ll probably see it

I’d like to remind people that the heritage foundation helped netanyahu to engineer this situation over the course of decades, . Mandatory military service + a lifetime of consistent propaganda is more than most people can overcome

Israel can be better… Netanyahu and his administration? They can fuck all the way off

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what they’re explicitly saying… I feel like there’s an equally clickbaity title that could’ve also been accurate along those lines

Did you just admit you’re guilty of insurrection?

It says you should write some damn code.

Anyone can program, granted they aren’t intimidated by the concept… It’s actually very easy, and most professionals are pretty bad at it.

I, and probably lots of others, would be happy to recommend a starting point based on your interests. If nothing else, it will make you smarter

Bosch makes a solid hammer drill…I once drilled into a steel reinforcement in concrete and it melted the bit red hot into a tear drop, and it didn’t even stutter

But my Ryobi bits snapped multiple times the first time I used them (I used a center punch and proper form, they just snapped like glass the second I used carbide bits on a freaking aluminum alloy). Their power tools aren’t quite as bad, but they’re not noticeably better than harbor freight stuff. I genuinely believe black and Decker is better

Granted, I think Ryobi used to be way better…I think they got bought out used for the name a while back

DeWalt ftw. Granted, I keep getting told to wait for Christmas and getting black and Decker as gifts… It’s good enough to manage for my needs, but very noticeably worse

IME, Milwaukee is noticeably more hardy in cold temperatures, Ryobi is absolute garbage, and Makita is pretty good for hobbyist level

But I worked construction during college, and DeWalt was great, and Milwaukee was almost as good. The other two don’t deserve to be in the same list

Exactly. And ideally not just cells growing out of control, cancerous or not. Senescent cells that no longer perform their function too - they all have bio markers that are missed.

If we could buff up elimination of cells no longer fulfilling their function, and introduce various revitalized stem cells? That’s how you live to 200 baby. That’s rejuvenation- it doesn’t fix plaque in your arteries or structural defects, but I’m convinced it would buy you a lot of time, alongside treating the symptoms

And that gives you plenty of time for us to figure out the biomorphic field and gets you to eternal youth and body mods… That vein of science works on simple life, but mammals are complicated. It didn’t take much to figure out amphibian xenobots, but we’ll probably reach AI superintelligence before we figure out how to flesh sculpt with human tissue… We’re a lot more delicate

I get this sounds insane to most people, but there’s legit science behind my beliefs, and I can look up specific evidence on request… Just be specific with what you want further reading on, it’s a complex topic
