Lemmy had Karma but got rid of it because it’s so gameable that its only uses are bad.

We all have a reality translator in our heads.

It’s called our own perception and biases.

Your argument is shit. It’s basically “some tourists bad, therefore all tourism bad.”

Like how dare people want to see the world?

Putting it in a DB is the easy part.

It’s support in a thousand other systems that deal with addresses that’s the real problem.

For something like a street address, interoperability is a hell of a lot more important than culturally preferred spelling.

What is the future of X.org if all the mainstream distros drop X11 for Wayland?

Any other projects we should know about?

From your replies it appears so.

Duh. Reread what I wrote.

The fact that a 3rd party offers better performance than the platform’s creators is a pretty big indictment of Microsoft’s stewardship of Windows.

I never minded studying, but always hated writing essays, even though pretty good at it.

How do we train people to think, and validate that they learned, when they can outsource it to a computer?

The author alludes to oral exams, though they have a whole host of other issues.

Losing your sanity is much worse than losing your money.

The YouTube engineers working on advertising are tasked with maximizing revenue, not making the user experience better.

It’s a de-facto monopoly and the only way to get better user experience is through adblock.

Why not just dump the Sound Fonts and use them in modern multitrack MIDI software?

That is true, but I bet they’re not doing it with a 30 year old ISA card.

SoundBlaster AWE32/64 was the bees knees before the invention of MP3s.

Today nobody uses MIDI, but how else are you going to play music with 8MB of RAM?

If you want the phone to work reliably anywhere besides home/school/work, you need a real cellular carrier.

If you’re a shut-in, WiFi only is fine.

They didn’t copy the gods, they just said it’s the same guy under a different name and we worship them too.

It’s like foreign fans of a domestic TV show.

They require ID for pickup at locations that experience a lot of theft.

Cost of remaking stolen orders has to exceed staff cost of checking IDs.

Wouldn’t want any 60 years olds creeping on 54s.

Yeah I don’t need to refill my battery in 2 hours, but it’s nice to be able to meaningfully top off between errands to make the most of a small PHEV battery.

So you’re saying he’s guilty of wrongthink?
