Now that you mention it, I call my parents Mom and Dad (unless they really need to listen), but my kids call me by my first name. I just thought it was a generational thing, who cares.

I thought the replicator was one of the contributing factors?

Nope I’m wrong

Now that you mention it, my phone is by far the most reliable alarm clock I’ve ever had. It does DST switches for me. The battery recharges itself. I just never noticed because phones sucked at first.

This would also improve voter turnout.

This is my main reason. Valve has a good reputation. If I buy a game and it doesn’t work, then I can complain and will probably get my money back. I know developers will target my platform specifically.

I only want to troubleshoot if the whole thing is open source and I really can fix it myself. Other people pay me to figure out problems in proprietary software. This will be Valve’s computer in my home, not my computer.

I bet a bunch of people have already succeeded at this and didn’t coordinate with each other at all.

I would count on them being hypocritical. The rich will just use Starlink.

It’ll get really interesting when the data gets breached and stealth wealth people have to start hiring private security.

Eating the rich is vegan because they consented by being rich.

I just give them a thumbs up.

Engineers are rich, right? So let’s blame the working class in this one particular case. /s

Traceur201 said that.

This is part of the reason I moved to CA. As an engineer I’m always going to have some kind of environmental impact, and I think a direct initiative is necessary for the public to consent.

This comment is known to the state of California to cause birth defects.

After dismissing email chains and getting them all on Facebook, I’m never going to dismiss their ways again.

Least buggy client

You got me to check their post history and I left disappointed.

Absolutely! I totally get that you’re frustrated. I’ll be sure to sorry off more in the future. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Keep talking to him for a while and see if he apologizes or tells you to fuck off first.

Another smarter human pointed this out and it stuck with me: the guys most hyped about AI are good at nothing and thus can’t see how bad it is at everything. It’s like the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect.
