Anyone remember the dot-com bubble?

Transhumanism—if it happens at all—is not happening anytime soon. Like, not for thousands of years if ever.

Listening to people talk about transhumanism today is like seeing people imagine flying cars in the 1950s. “Oh we’ve got this cool technology surely it means this wild extrapolation is right around the corner.”

Give me a break.

“Mysterious”? It’s eight there in the name.

… pay packages of up to $300 million over four years, with more than $100 million in total compensation for the first year…

He’s really just creating the next generation of tech bros. This is how they reproduce. Someone drops a huge sum of money in their laps for being smart in a niche computer field. That money balloons their egos to the point of making them think they are smart at all the things. And, voilà, a techbro is born. The misogyny, racism and infatuation with eugenics comes naturally after that.

ACE is more like a franchise than other retailers. Most are locally-owned. Some are employee-owned.

Is that supposed to be a goatee on his chin?

? You hold the TV button on the remote and a menu opens with the power off button on the screen.

Dead simple.

Confluent?

Sounds like the investigation started under Biden. If they shut it down now, they’ll look (even more) like they cover for pedos.

If you run into an asshole in the morning one instance, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day in every instance, you’re the asshole

Lemmy and Mastodon aren’t centralized. Instances can federate with other instances as they choose. If your instance has, for example, a lot of bigoted communities and users, you can expect the bigger instances to de-federate from yours.

You can always federate with instances that reject “EU norms”—whatever that means—in a bubble of your own.

Not necessarily. You can’t just say games should cost more because of inflation.

You’d have to take into account the cost to produce the game and the size of the market.

TIL $500 can cure cancer.

Except the ones played by Jack Black.

I’d like to see organization focused instances. Like a local government that runs an instance and moderates it. NGOs, clubs, sport leagues, etc. could do it.

It might become a nightmare of overlapping content, hierarchies and responsibilities, though.

Sounds like single sign-on (SSO). Which is practically everywhere these days.

How about “no”.

If Apple does this they’ll destroy a whole lot of trust that their customers have in them.

Which applies to 99% of people making Delta Chat not a viable alternative to WhatsApp.

The Fediverse has the same problem that Linux, and Open Source in general, struggles with. The barriers to entry and network effects work against widespread adoption.

Until technology is packaged in a way that makes it dead simple and/or unavoidable, people won’t make the effort to move en masse.

Sure, macOS is certified UNIX.

I stream from Jellyfin to an Apple TV without your issues. It might be a network or configuration problem.

Have you tried Infuse, SenPlayer or other clients?
