Apathy? This isn’t apathy. Apathy doesn’t vote. Hate votes.

That was my point, pretty much. The issue is that money that’s kept is useless for society, but if its value increases it gains potential usefulness for its owner. I’m not saying that ordinary people will stop buying food and I’m not saying that corporations are doing community work right now, but the world in which the rich get even richer without even spending their money on something will be problematic at best. The economy will crash while everybody will hold on to whatever moves they have.

Deflation is actually bad because it would be an incentive to keep rather than spend money as its value would just increase by itself.

This makes me wonder so hard why people don’t switch to Mastodon instead. Like… You have literally seen this before! Why are you doing it again?

it still has a long way to go before it starts replacing LCDs and OLEDs.

I really don’t think it’s even trying to fill the same niche. No eReader is attempting to sell you Netflix. It’s just an entirely different device.

…fuck everything about Milon’s Secret Castle, though…

I was an snes kid, so I never played that one and was blissfully unaware of its existence until I saw that review…

Oddly enough, of all the avgn videos that I watched, this and the battletoads one really stuck with me.

I love it.

Yeah, that’s a much better point of view. I’ll just make that my own. Ignore what I said before.

I’m not subscribed to this community and just found this content via “all”. If you’re in there, you’ll always get downvotes from people who just don’t like this kind of content. Don’t worry about it.

The system, no matter how good its education, will never be able to turn everybody into “decent philosophers”. Some people just aren’t smart, no matter how good education might get. Some just are gullible. That doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be as well-educated as they can possibly be, but people and their capabilities just are a spectrum and always will be. And even if today’s dumbest people will be as smart as today’s “decent philosophers” by tomorrow, today’s “decent philosophers” will still outsmart them, which is an issue if there are manipulative people with hidden agendas among them. Which they will be.

This isn’t an education issue, it’s an information and misinformation issue. Giving anybody, including malicious actors, their own, personal channel to spread whatever information they want, regardless of its quality or truth, has turned out to be a terrible idea. The Internet kind of comes with the idea to give everyone access to all of humanity’s information without taking into account that there should be a certain responsibility attached to the question of the creation of that information or that there should be a separation of concerns between people who spread information and people who have other interests than just informing people in the best way possible.

Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10.

It’s all about Windows as a service

Windows isn’t dead, but the idea of version numbers could be

Recent comments at Ignite about Windows 10 are reflective of the way Windows will be delivered as a service bringing new innovations and updates in an ongoing manner, with continuous value for our consumer and business customers

The person I replied to was talking about learning the basics of a language… This isn’t about searching for something specific, this is about reading the very basic introduction to a language before trying to Google your way through it. Avoiding the basic documentation is always a bad idea. Replacing it with the LLMed version of the original documentation probably even more so.

What about just reading the documentation?

You did not make fun of my typo? Believe it or not, also ban.

Obviously. Stupid sexy Finns.

Maybe Firefox dropping pwa support is a factor there?

systemd gets stuck because it’s trying to mount two separate partitions to the same mount point

Uh… Sounds like it’s not really systemd’s fault, your setup is just terrible.

I’ve tried fixing it, but all I did was break it more.

If you’re unable to fix it, maybe get somebody else? Like, this doesn’t sound like it’s an unfixable issue…

I once heard a cook say that cooks who use salt mills aren’t cooks.

I’m really tempted to say the same thing about programmers that use llms to code.

It doesn’t give anyone access to your system or forward information from your system to outsiders, so no.

How is Spotify supposed to “handle” anything here if the rights owner tells them that this is how it works? Like, not only didn’t the first rights owner give them any means to stay updated with the rights, the new rights owner didn’t notify them either that any rights were transferred to them before taking them to court. The only way to properly handle this would have been to tell them to get fucked, but that’s not really an alternative if we’re talking about the streaming rights for Eminem. This all seems like a setup to sue them… But who am I to tell? I’m just a jerk who read an article online. You know who should decide whether or not this was a scheme to drag Spotify to court? A judge.

Oh, wait, they did. Guess it’s decided, then.

To get to it click the 3 lines or ‘more’, then find ‘feeds’ and select that

Oh, wow… I recently opened fb again and was just irritated that it didn’t show any posts by my friends. Turns out they weren’t inactive, fb just doesn’t show them by default. What a dumb waste of a platform… I mean, what is it good for if not that? Why would I watch an endless stream of ads and clickbait?
