I also think it’s a generational thing.
Back then, since chess was associated with intelligence, a lot of academic types tried to play it and get good at it.
I would say once we had computers, there was another much more practical thing you could get good at.
But seriously, chess sets used to be part of the house decor.
I guess yeah but I see him as closer to Hitler and Hitler famously did like dogs
Tastes fake chicken nugget
“Hmmm, the quality is on par with real nuggets!”
While this is a good thing, it’s pretty funny imo
That doesn’t make me jealous.
The fact that we have bred a species to be happy and bring us happiness is, imo, like our best accomplishment.
Also, I can’t think of a single billionaire who is a huge fan of dogs.
Idk man, I bet there are a lot of people in the 10-50 million range that are far happier than oligarchs
Shit like this gives me hope for the future
And you save money? Oh man, the path of least resistance just changed.
I can’t think of a better example of the need to “seize the means of production” than the starlink network.
Seriously, space is not within any country’s borders, how can one have private property up there?
Trick question, they were both not planned since the plan was to have 1
They ran out of data huh?
Is this shower thought about what to wear after said shower?
the higher the number the more engaging the post is. Or in other words how many people were pissed off enough to comment
Omg, I’m so glad there isn’t any entity trying to boost this KPI like it’s the only thing that matters in the world.
Sounds like a publicity stunt.
I’ll see myself out
The main good thing about blue sky is that it kind of taught people that jumping ship is always an option.
Which is a good lesson overall.
It’s not the technology, it’s the businesses interests behind such technology.
We live in a time of robber barons and these are just their tools
Which goes to show you the economic divide.
PCs are a fraction of the cost, little wear and tear, no maintenance cost, no insurance nor storage costs, and no need to be licensed.
I honestly think it’s just that we are more poor than the boomers.
Gen Z are into social media most, it’s cause it’s cheaper than buying electronics and building PCs, all you need is 1 smart phone.
I bet gen alpha would be into minimalism given the trend.
Cause no one is stopping you from going to said instance and just having the discussion there.
If there was this super important leak that needed to be out there, if it’s posted on a right wing instance that is a defederated ghost town, it’s still out there. People can link to it and leverage the instance to have the needed discussions.
Censorship means removing access, defederation does not wipe it off of the Internet.
So they shutdown because they couldn’t federate with any other instances and considered that censorship
Damn, I actually didn’t see that coming, I guess they will move the goal post from any starting point.
Do they still exist? I’m honestly curious if they are active or if it’s abandoned
I still don’t understand how helicopters are not flying cars.
If you want everyone to have a flying car, we should talk about everyone having a helicopter first so we can quickly come to the conclusion of why that’s a bad idea.
