Ouf, crazy how many people are actually pushing for valve to have a complete monopoly. Ya it's a good product but so was chrome. Diversity is important for consumers.

This is why it's so important to have them fire you. Just say no but keep working.

Yup, the book tends to remember about where it was last opened anyways. Sometimes I memorize the page number to be sure.

I mean I never saw smoke in the sky and at eye level like I've seen this summer and a lot of trees are dead, the ones that aren't are visibly stressed. It's very visible.

Children of time is amazing imo. Love the concept and the characters.

It does feel like a lecture sometimes, even with stuff that is just difficult and not immoral.

Oh fuck off. They wanted it to spy on their own citizens and those of its allied nations. They wanted the same backdoor google, Facebook, Microsoft and all our telecom companies give them.

I've seen a lot of bad takes but this takes the cake. There isn't anything virtuous about mass spy programs and no way was any actual chinese data even on the table.

"These new data suggest the top 130 feet of the lunar surface are made up of multiple layers of dust, soil, and broken rocks, Feng said. Hidden within these materials was a crater, formed when a large object slammed into the moon. Feng and his colleagues hypothesized that the rubble surrounding this formation was ejecta — debris from the impact. Farther down, the scientists discovered five distinct layers of lunar lava that seeped across the landscape billions of years ago."

Just in case anyone thought it was actually going to be some type of structure like caverns or something like I did.

I burst out laughing

It's not always sex tourism. Of the people I was referring to, it was during a week-long fishing trip, the prostitution wasn't the reason for the trip and only occupied a small part of it.

I think it's gross regardless and I'd rather none of it was a reality, so you'll have to find someone else to argue with.

Solar storms arent really a risk for small electronics, more so if they aren't connected to the grid. You wouldn't need a deep vault, more like a cupboard.

There is a risk the hard drives wear out before society gets the grid back online and restarts producing hard drives though. We already don't have that many facilities and they would certainly be taken offline, and the knowledge to build those facilities, that might get lost properly when the storm would hit.

The corporations already have all the data, users literally gave it to them by uploading it. Open source only has scrapped data. If you start regulating, you kill open source but the big players will literally just shrug it off.

Traditional artists already lost. It sucks but now we get to find out if the winner is all of society or only just Adobe and Shutterstock.
