yeah frankly this post is borderline misinformation, they specifically import a library to read comments as arguments, it’s like redefining keywords in C and complaining about C being dumb

yup

and of course at the lowest level the particle interactions are all calculated by cueball using rocks in a desert

as if the technology is what makes livestream services difficult anyways lmao
it’s just expensive as shit because it involves a lot of data

well, i’m glad the US government is at least aware what C and C++ are!

why would it not have brackets? i detest syntax that is only applicable to a handful of situations and has to be specifically memorized separately from how every other part of the language works.

okay but have you considered that a tail would make most chairs incredibly uncomfortable for you? also do you really want to be able to fall on your ass and break your tail?

I think we lost the tail for a reason.

i mean yeah, i’ll take just having the same body but made of nanites please. There are just no downsides to that: i’d be immortal, impossible to damage since the nanites would just flow back into place, i could reconfigure my body at will, and extremely cool shit like extruding tools from my body (either made of nanites or effectively 3d printing them).

“AI, how do we solve traffic?”
- “Build more trains.”
“well our AI is clearly broken”

Important to note how the design of the hardware is important in enabling this, if you don’t have replaceable parts then the entire thing dies when one component does.

It’s really the one major complaint i have about my pixel 3, the lack of an SD card slot immediately puts a bit of a lifespan on the entire device.

perhaps we should start building things with long term support in mind, and not just churn out the cheapest shit we can manage.

Like just look at modern laptops, most of them are absolute dogshit in terms of repairability and then you have the framework which you can straight up buy as a kit to assemble yourself.
Making things easy to maintain is clearly doable, not even that hard.

it’s not that wild of a concept, it’s basically just an extension of how copyright and patents expire. You should have to prove that your IP is actually in use for it to remain valid, otherwise you forfeit it. Honestly moreso to prevent patent/copyright trolling than for right to repair reasons.

I don’t think you’re kidding yourself, i think you’re just capable of introspection and critical thought.

I frankly consider the excessive spending and flaunting of wealth that many people do to be a sign of pretty profound unhappiness, they’re just trying to desperately fill a void inside them and distracting themselves with constant consumption.

No, looking at the world and at history we can see what actually makes people happy, and those things are quite simple: having a social group, being in nice places, and having hobbies. Of course there are other things too but these are the basic pillars.

Personally if i got a shitload of money i’d invest it in founding organizations to improve the world and funding existing efforts to do the same, because it’s very clear that i personally benefit from everyone else having good lives. I want everyone to be so well off that you can drop me naked in any random place and i never ever have to worry about anything, i can 100% rely on people just giving me clothes and food and being able to travel for free, THAT is the ultimate freedom.

i mean there are other superuser commands, BSD doesn’t use sudo for example, it uses “doas”

i think fireworks are nice but they’re to a large degree something from a different age and at this point we should only really be using smaller volcano-style ones, and like holy shit we have drone technology, why aren’t drone displays standard in any vaguely populated area?

look at this shit, it’s so cool! can we please push for this to be the standard?
