The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to California’s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled. in c/technology@lemmy.world

Sci-fi also includes forms of travel like Hyperloop, FTL travel, time travel... Does that mean people believe all those things are possible, or does it mean people like those fantasies and/or they hope future innovations will make those things possible?

I don't think "look at sci-fi" really means anything here, regardless of what the opinion of experts and the public was.

Paint.NET is lovely, I used to use it a lot for simple image editing tasks, but it's windows-only and by no means a replacement for Photoshop.
