I just don’t get it with these proprietary cloud connected devices. Do people just not realize that keeping server infrastructure running for free after a product is sold is not in a company’s best profit-seeking interests (maybe they don’t even think about how things on the Internet actually work, I dunno)? I thought of this almost fifteen years ago when I started seeing smart thermostats. There should always be an option to go local, even if it requires the consumer to acquire a skillset in IT. Maybe we can start working things like that into right to repair legislation if it isn’t already.

Because I don’t want to crawl out of one shit hole only to fall into another hastily constructed one. Let’s get it right. Let’s learn from the past. We know how misinformation and mass propaganda manipulates people against themselves in our current system. We can act to prevent that. We know the people who start amassing more than a certain amount of wealth start becoming unstoppable. We can fix that too. We know how minority rights get trampled now. Let’s put safeguards in for that too.

Like I said, let’s be careful. Or the new system will get taken over by greed, hate, and fear just like any other.

Tests? The only test is if it segfaults or not and does the thing 🙃😁. Thank you for the information.

Not skeptically. Carefully. You can’t just say “okay, everyone vote on the laws directly” without thinking it through. You have to guarantee everybody’s rights, not just the ones who managed to overpower everyone else.

Vulcans have emotions I thought. They are just incredibly repressed. Whereas their brothers/sisters the Romulans embraced them.

What about hobbyists with no “standard” corporate programming experience, but have been noodling around with PHP/C/C++ for 25 years? (I’m actually not even joking anymore lol. Never had the self-confidence to try and make it professional).

Damn no wonder Balmer was so shook in the early 2000s.

Your company can afford being a school that pays people to learn? Where do I sign up?

American police evolved out of slave hunters and anti-union thugs, remember that.

Direct democracy needs to have some sort of concept of human rights enshrined in its system somehow, and make it very hard to violate, otherwise, it could get ugly. Mob rule isn’t always good. It could easily lead to torches and pitchfork “justice”.

I did vote. Not for him. So anything done by the US at this point has nothing to do with me. My decision was nullified.

Stop assuming things without complete information. Maybe I also worded it wrong.

I didn’t decide shit, the rest of these asshats I’m surrounded by did it for me. Leave me out of it.

I might be a bit slow…

Wat? It’s the JS source for some website. Whoever made this literally just clicked “view page source” on a random website. It’s OS agnostic.

Stares nervously at the water heater closet we just built in the basement.

Squirrels are opportunistic eaters. During the last US east coast 17-year Cicada brood, I saw them chowing down on them left and right.

And yes, I am aware of my username…not on purpose I swear.
