God I hope it ends up splitting off Chrome. I think Google has done a great job with Chrome. But the recent Manifest v3 makes it clear they're going to greatly degrade their users' experience for Google's bottom line. And they're using their market dominance to do it.

As a Floridian, the issue is pretty apparent. Conservatives are outlawing the current teachings about race in our schools all under the guise of STOPPING racism.

People are nostalgic the world over, not just in America. So all of the undertones of political issues that you're layering on here isn't inherent to the human feeling of nostalgia. Now The Dukes of Hazzard is problematic for a great many reasons as this post highlights. So it's totally fair to call that out. But it's also totally fair to remember being a kid and liking a show where guys break the rules with fast cars. It doesn't mean that he's a bigot that wants to drag us all back to the '70s.

I say, as long as you're self aware and this feeling in nostalgia doesn't push you in the direction of Trump or Andrew Tate, then go for it.

There's no realistic way to enforce that. The answer is to go the other way. We used to have systems in place for accountability of information. We need to bring back institutions for journalism and historians to be trustworthy sources that cite their work and show their research.

Hey, go boo the actual bad shit Musk is doing. Starship is an amazing feat of human engineering. One that has already made orbit, btw.

This sort of feels like someone using a PC for the first time in 1989 and asking what it does that they can't do on a piece of paper with a calculator. They may not have been far off at the time, but they would be missing the point. This is a paradigm shift that allows for a single application to fulfill the role of, eventually, infinite applications. And yes it starts with mundane tasks. You know, the kind people don't want to do themselves.

He's not, real engineers are. That's my point.

Gamers: Where's my game? Why do you subject your developers to crunch? Why is it so expensive? Why don't you pay your developers more?

Worth mentioning: life is a construct created by humans. We decide if it's alive, just like we decided if anything else was alive. There's no definite answer that science can provide on this topic. It can only provide humanity with more facts with which we can contrive a distinction.

This is sick. An android TV app, while I'm sure a low priority, would make this a home run for me. Great work.

I got this from a service technician once. He was like, "So you know code? Say I had my wife's phone, but not the password. How could I get into her Facebook Messenger??"

And I was like, "... So can you fix my drain line, or no?"

The amount of circular conversations I've had with people...
"So you're telling me flipping heads 10 times in a row is likely? Then do it right now!"
"No, I'm just saying it's not less likely than any other combination."
"Oh I get it." [Flips head] "Right so next ones got to be tails"
🤦

Problem is that the branding issue is a problem for women too. The vast majority of feminists are great folks who want equality. But it also attracts the self important types that want to use victim status to get ahead or just generally put the other side down. And they're usually the loudest "feminists". That perpetuates the branding problem.

Totally get where you're coming from. But you can enjoy the game and dislike the way they marketed and released it. 90% of life isn't a zero-sum game. Despite what the internet would have you believe.

Ho shit, no lies that stick is dope.

That's putting it lightly.

My understanding is, they didn't know what to get ready for. It's like somebody saying "I'm going to change the game a lot, watch out!" So what do you do then? Sit around and not develop anything for 2 years because it might be based on code that will change?

I think this is realistically the only way forward. To delegitimize any kind of nudes that might show up of a person. Which could be good. But I have no doubt that highschools will be flooded with bullies sending porn around of innocent victims. As much as we delegitimize it as a society, it'll still have an effect. Like social media, though it's normal for anyone to reach you at any time, It still makes cyber bullying more hurtful.

If you let them dictate what is theirs, they'll take everything.

If the people equivalent to the entire population of Wyoming moved out of New York, most people wouldn't notice.
