One of my all time favourites.
As cliche as it sounds, the breakdown of their relationship and the personalities involved are so spot on to me and my ex-wife that I was floored the moment that I saw it.
"Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating."
Yes. But it's a common misconception that "colluding" is illegal in all circumstances. It's not. There are unfortunately legal ways for corporations to coopoerate with one another on stuff like this.
It's called an Oligopoly and it happens literally all the time because the CRTC is feckless and weak.
Once I started using Manjaro KDE I found no real reason to leave. -Reason: It just works. I'm not a developer, just a user. I don't like tinkering and Manjaro just kind of takes care of everything for me.
It's the natural evolution of a federated social network.
It'll all work itself out eventually. Some communities will thrive while others will slowly stagnate. This all happens by nature. Give it time.
I believe the phrase ""Oh FUCK no" has never been more appropriate.
All of the above.
Humanity is, at it's core, motivated by self interest. The singularity will be harnessed by those with the power and means to do so, while those who don't will either suffer or die.
The powerful few will adapt to the singularity; using it to craft their own utopia. The masses, without access to the same power that the upper class enjoyed, will fall into a dystopia while even more marginalized substrates of society go extinct completely unnoticed.

After years working in telecom, I'm in the camp of "absolutely no device needs to cost thousands of bucks."
Midrange phones do just fine, and it's borderline criminal marketing that the Apples and Samsungs of the world convince gullible consumers that their 260 dollars worth of parts and labour is somehow worth more than an average mortgage payment.
I've spent much of my career working for two of the big three, and the reality of this video hits hard. The CRTC is a joke.
As long as your web browser can access udev for the controller, just go to Xbox.com/play or something like that. I'm away from my desktop, but I think that's the address. I've done it a few times now.
I don't disagree.
But where I see a small nugget of good intent in this law is in the fact that I'd be willing to wager a very large percentage of people read the blurb on Facebook, which summarizes the entire story, and never click over to the actual article, thereby robbing the news site of ad revenue.
This isn't (supposed to) be about paying to post links. It's about paying to summarize their content so that users don't have to leave Facebook.
This is inherently the problem with (most) cyclists, and why motorists in general don't like them.
They want it both ways. They want to be a pedestrian when it suits them, when they want to blow stop signs, jump up onto the sidewalk, expect cars to stop for them at crosswalks, and weave through traffic at will. But they ALSO want to be a vehicle when it suits them, when they are sharing a road that doesn't have a bike lane, for example.
And they seem to think that the motorist should just KNOW when they are being one or the other.
It's frustrating and annoying. They are a vehicle. They are governed as a vehicle. Suck it up, cyclists.
