I still don’t understand how helicopters are not flying cars.

If you want everyone to have a flying car, we should talk about everyone having a helicopter first so we can quickly come to the conclusion of why that’s a bad idea.

Idk if this is the right place to mention this but…

Anyone else find it weird that this was so well predicted by the boys TV show?

So yeah, the satire went over the top yet reality somehow found a way to top it but just in a far more incompetent way.

I can’t think of a better example of the need to “seize the means of production” than the starlink network.

Seriously, space is not within any country’s borders, how can one have private property up there?

They ran out of data huh?

Yes there is throwaway work but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to be done.

Every line of code a programmer does is written so it can benefit the company or make the coder’s life easier.

We are trained to not do busy work if that makes sense, and it’s not busy work if management honestly tells you that they need X, regardless how right or wrong they are.

I agree, I was very careful to say tries to ಠᴗಠ

Given how python tries to be as readable as possible with its controversial stance on using indentation, is it really neutral?

Idk if moral alignment makes sense for languages, at least not as much as weapon metaphors.

Shoots market in the dick

I would argue that fascism is the capitalism’s second final form.

The main good thing about blue sky is that it kind of taught people that jumping ship is always an option.

Which is a good lesson overall.

It’s not the technology, it’s the businesses interests behind such technology.

We live in a time of robber barons and these are just their tools

What if you short the market?

Putting a lot of money into shorts (money you can barrow mind you), is essentially massively selling stocks you don’t have with the promise of buying them back later.

If a lot of rich people do this, it will trigger a panic sell, get the price low, they buy back the “barrows stocks” at cheaper rate and now they have profit and some people have sold, so the stock is lower.

They can now buy more stocks and we’re back to the first step but with the rich having a higher share than before cause of the panic sellers.

Serious question.

They didn’t put this on Canada right? So shouldn’t prices in Canada stay relatively low?

Wouldn’t China want to buy more from Canada and vice versa?

Surely corporates won’t price gouge this time

Australia never had an empire, maybe it’s time?

So is it all caps these days all the time?

Such old man yells at clouds vibes

It’s gonna be the golden age of piracy ya’ll.

Time and time again they keep “fixing” piracy with good access (Netflix, steam) and then spend the next decade(s) ruining it.

Idk man, while I agree, I think the trump trials before the elections was the lowest point.

Homer voice: lowest point so far

Getting Luigied is now part of my vocabulary

A post about technology on the technology community?
