    LDS former NASA engineer that makes silly devices and gadgets. Some interesting videos, though he’s big into the clickbait game. Seems at least relatively sincere in his push for encouraging interest in STEM with children, though he can be a bit “flash over substance” for my tastes. But he is better then a lot of others I’ve seen in that regard.

    When I was younger, palmpilots and blackberrys were the coolest things to me. Something that was basically a computer you could carry in your pocket? I wanted one so bad! And now basically everyone has something even better. Funny how things change.






  • Nothing here is written in stone. If shitty people take over, there’s absolutely nothing to stop them throwing out the rules as written, or just ignoring them.

    But also: If the idea is that we should just trust the admins: Why have any rules at all?

    All we have here is trust. These rules are more so the admins proclaiming their intended goals and actions. Again, there’s nothing to stop an instance admin from doing whatever they want. Could it be more verbose? Absolutely. But as for the claims that the new rules show any deviousness on the part of the current admins, or that having better written rules will inherently protect anyone? Those don’t really hold any merit, imo.
