Did you mean 30 years ago?

You're wrong. Sharing the fruits of labor and greater social cohesion are what lead to greater quality of life. Greater productivity leads to increased wealth among the owning class, but historically that wealth only reached the masses after hard, usually physically violent, conflict between the haves and havenots.

We are over a decade into Big Tech already making everyone's lives miserable (the malicious wielding of social media is something even the mainstream knows about now). His alternative of not working for big tech is literally the only way out of this.

There is some nuance in what "not working for big tech" means though. The general gist is to not take work making tools that can foreseeably be used to hurt people and the social fabric at large. Reject "disruption." Don't take money to make your life worse. That sort of thing.

Have you heard any anecdotes about someone who isn't a reviewer obtaining a RTX 5090 Founders Edition? I haven't.

Please don't give yourself LLM-induced psychosis.

You think an RTX 5090 only costs $2000??

Or the current man in control of Health and Human Services is at best saying nothing of value. (At worst, he's sidelining vaccines for multiple infectious diseases, but that's off topic)

What does "defunding the difference" mean? layer8 and phantasmish absolutely said what the difference was.

Every part of Earth's crust is jam packed with life.

Just imagine how much more successful they'd be if Elon Musk wasn't meddling and leeching from them!

Maybe the problem is that you're looking for content to consume, instead of art to enjoy and participate with. The distinction is important because how you frame a problem changes how you solve it.

Fraud is very illegal.

Jonathan Blow makes Jai because he wants to make Jai. It's the same reason he makes his games at all.

Why are you more afraid of Chinese billionaires surveilling on you than American billionaires?

Out of curiosity, what OS are you using?

That is not GNU tar's output. You might wanna make sure your installation is ok.

edit: maybe i missed the joke?

Modern social media is worse for our mental health than cigarettes are for our physical health. This should be a no-brainer.

Yes, the thieves currently controlling our government are dumbasses, but that is precisely why we're able to talk about their plans in this thread. They are morons that were able to get ALOT of people to do their bidding, usually with threats of violence or slander.

Fortunately, people are now waking up to their tricks.

are you paid by the FLOP?

Downloading software? On MY handheld computer??

This one forces you to log into your google account before you can use vscode!

Despite what non lawyers may have told you, corporations are not legally obliged to chase short term profit at the expense of everything else!

Spatial cognition really means "autonomous robot," and nobody thinks Tesla or Waymo have the most advanced robots.

Can you share where your wife learned the Montessori method from?

In addition to what you and the person you replied to already said, simply calling something stupid conveys very little information. "Stupid" provides no context, no rationale, and no direction towards improvement. If your goal is simply to push someone away, stop them from communicating entirely, or shame them, then yeah, dismissing a person's contributions as stupid is the tool for the job. But if you want better contributions and are trying to improve a project, you have to put in more effort than that.

Portmanton't.
