Hey, I could at least observe superconductors at home!

Whelp, time to reinstall it again! Thnaks!

Deus Ex. A strangely prescient game that had shaped how I view the world.

The need to be observed and understood was once satisfied by God. Now we can implement the same functionality with data-mining algorithms. You will soon have your God… and you will make it with your own hands.

Same way ofcom expects anyone outside UK to pay up, I guess.

Oh yes, because it’s not like Nigel Farage, Victor Orban and a bunch of other populists didn’t make use of US companies and advisors (and russian funds…) on how to best fracture societies to their end. Clearly nuking the internet would put an end to that, and all would be well.

Unironically yes. Otherwise the internet as we know it is very much over, and what we have instead is a mesh of country-nets.

I mean, what is actually “doing business” when it comes a simple web page or a forum for example? Merely existing and being reachable.

If you’re ok with this then imagine your local lemmy instance getting fined by China/Qatar/Thailand/etc for posting something breaking their laws.

Hey ma, it’s the nazi guy’s AI again

That’s some rather unrealistic optimism unless someone slipped some speed in his coffee.

Holy crap, this still exists.

Talk of the devil, is btrfs still wearing SSDs a lot?

You’ve got nothing on the average dwarf fortress searches. Mermaid children bone farming ftw.

After the absolute trainwrecks of Crysis2 and 3, I’m not sure of this is a blessing or a curse.

Battlefield is dead.

Good.

This level of pettiness could be amusing if it wasn’t in control of the world’s largest army and nuclear arsenal.

Edit: and not actively trying to murder people, now that I think about it.

Even the premise of this game is so stupid. As if doing any unusual stuff as the only black samurai in the whole country totally wouldn’t land you instantly in hot water.

Restaurators go to insane lengths to repair art pieces, often not just replicating the style but also authentic materials and techniques.

If the passkeys aren’t managed by your devices fully offline then you’re just deeper into being hostage to a corporation.

Going publicly traded fucks every company up with nextquarter-itis.
