Hello! 👋

You really need to elaborate on the nature of the scam.

I’ve seen some people reject this solution due to the anime.

Gotta have those dopamine hits from the extremely sweet drinks. If they are carbonated, then you get even more dopamine!

Things were not perfect for me growing up, but I’m glad desert with every meal wasn’t a thing my family did. I’ve met many people who think about it like how you described.

I’m not sure I always buy into the idea that precision is bad and broadly accessible is good. Not in this era of anti-intellectualism at least.

But I definitely see your point, if you are talking about making things accessible. Vague claims of “they just want to sound smart” smell of anti-intellectualism to me.

Isn’t it just precision?

I assume they just mean the idea that is malicious and not just stupidity.

The need for GoFundMe in our society has really gotten out of control.

huh, interesting! It’s The Mythical Man-Month! That book was published back in 1975. They definitely know better, but must be in quite a pickle.

Where’s that federation?

And how would this fit in? Are they just going to build a bunch of excuses into the platform, and then claim it’s now impossible?

Yeah, cover your shame.

Logged out YouTube was covered up a few years ago.

Are we aware of any big name titles that are not complete because they didn’t have actors?

Is there any chance this contributed to latest GTA6 delay?

Or did all of the major studios just switch to actors that are not part of a guild/union?

Whoops! Fixed.

Makes me think of Dell.

Domestic US cars can’t compete with foreign cars. We’ve known that forever. Or at least since the 90s.

Growing up in the 90s in Wisconsin, all the conservatives around me always talked shit about foreign cars.

I can’t comprehend how they justified it. But I also knew nothing about cars.

It was only back in ~2016 that I realized how much building a car is similar to building a computer. Supply chains, common parts, designs made to fit common “cases”. Etc etc.

Destroying sources of data is quite fascist.

It’s exceptionally difficult to build a browser from the ground up.

But if anyone could do it, it would be a company with the money and (supposed) intelligence they have in their ranks.

There’s a group making a new browser engine though, I think it’s called ladybird?

I never meant to imply that Thread was the only solution to WiFi based IOT being bad. Just that it is a forward looking choice that has interoperable support from the dominant computing platforms. This is why IKEA is moving to it.

I see someone replied about security. But I was just taking about stability.

Most people don’t have super beefy wifi routers. Many have whatever shit their ISP sent them. These are fine for your average number of laptops and phones, etc. but if you then throw on 10 more 2.4GHz WiFi IOT devices, you are probally going to run into devices randomly dropping off the wifi, etc.

Additionally, wifi is usually chosen over other protocols by manufacturers due to the cost of hardware and development. So they are often lower quality. (This is only one reason)

But sure, if you have a super awesome 2.4GHz wifi setup and high quality wifi devices, maybe things will work out just fine. But my personal experience with WiFi tells me I shouldn’t clutter my WiFi.

Also, if you were curious, yes: almost all WiFi IOT devices are 2.4GHz only.

What! I thought these were banned nation wide already. Or at least in enough states where it made them go away. They disappeared from products I end up looking at.

Holy shit.
