It just lined up perfectly for me…

Maybe they already did just to screw with Sierra Leone?

That was my point, pretty much. The issue is that money that’s kept is useless for society, but if its value increases it gains potential usefulness for its owner. I’m not saying that ordinary people will stop buying food and I’m not saying that corporations are doing community work right now, but the world in which the rich get even richer without even spending their money on something will be problematic at best. The economy will crash while everybody will hold on to whatever moves they have.

Deflation is actually bad because it would be an incentive to keep rather than spend money as its value would just increase by itself.

And on top of that they are generally much more expensive than American houses to begin with.

That very much depends on the area and the house itself.

I can be a backpack while you run

This makes me wonder so hard why people don’t switch to Mastodon instead. Like… You have literally seen this before! Why are you doing it again?

Nice

it still has a long way to go before it starts replacing LCDs and OLEDs.

I really don’t think it’s even trying to fill the same niche. No eReader is attempting to sell you Netflix. It’s just an entirely different device.

Aw fuck l, I knew I remembered that shit from childhood The Wizard of Oz.

…fuck everything about Milon’s Secret Castle, though…

I was an snes kid, so I never played that one and was blissfully unaware of its existence until I saw that review…

Oddly enough, of all the avgn videos that I watched, this and the battletoads one really stuck with me.

As if they had the funds for an original ps2 controller… They used a logitech ripoff.

I love it.

Yeah, that’s a much better point of view. I’ll just make that my own. Ignore what I said before.

The system, no matter how good its education, will never be able to turn everybody into “decent philosophers”. Some people just aren’t smart, no matter how good education might get. Some just are gullible. That doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be as well-educated as they can possibly be, but people and their capabilities just are a spectrum and always will be. And even if today’s dumbest people will be as smart as today’s “decent philosophers” by tomorrow, today’s “decent philosophers” will still outsmart them, which is an issue if there are manipulative people with hidden agendas among them. Which they will be.

This isn’t an education issue, it’s an information and misinformation issue. Giving anybody, including malicious actors, their own, personal channel to spread whatever information they want, regardless of its quality or truth, has turned out to be a terrible idea. The Internet kind of comes with the idea to give everyone access to all of humanity’s information without taking into account that there should be a certain responsibility attached to the question of the creation of that information or that there should be a separation of concerns between people who spread information and people who have other interests than just informing people in the best way possible.

It’s all about Windows as a service

Windows isn’t dead, but the idea of version numbers could be

The person I replied to was talking about learning the basics of a language… This isn’t about searching for something specific, this is about reading the very basic introduction to a language before trying to Google your way through it. Avoiding the basic documentation is always a bad idea. Replacing it with the LLMed version of the original documentation probably even more so.

What about just reading the documentation?
