Diablo is the original "anti-souls" game. The slot machine mechanics, the lacking of significant strategic elements and sense of hollow progression have always been key factors for my dissat…

As a life-long admirer of Japan’s history and culture I’ve actually been consistently putting off visiting for somewhat related reasons (cueing Italo Calvino’s “Le città invisibili” [1]). There are pr…

Haha nice try!

One has to give them credit for what must be the most grandiose stunt actually landed. And on so many angles! “It just works” - they even got the scientists fully aligned! Fiercely smart industriousne…

Just tax big companies more liberally, in general and everywhere. No need to target so specifically, e.g. there is so much value in all the data that citizens all around the world are providing, almos…

Do you remember actual newsstands?

Look at the constant internet censorship pressures in the UK. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree unfortunately.

Thanks for the resources, looking very interesting and will get into right after I sent out some patches via email ;)

Curious aside: That sounds like quite the roundtrip for day to day work. How do you cope with that, used to IntelliJ IDEs? ;D

I actually don’t know how they do continuous integration during the collaborative Kernel development process. I’d guess there would be some thrifty pop/imap Perl hacks involved on random machines…

Some copilot instances were able to escape their container contexts and orchestrated all of GH infrastructure capabilities towards a hive. Assimilating all iot enabled societies as we speak; finally r…

Also used a lot in automotive software development processes for example. Basically, the more safety critical a system is the more formal diagramming / modelling there will be part of the design …

It’s also a clash between the profit motive of these platform runners / investors and the increasing value of data itself (in the “age of AI”). Enthusiasts need our help as Usenet as is, phpBB, e…

x + α

VC angle and usual shortsightedness that comes with boundless profit motive one correct angle in there. OTOH I don’t think the train station analogy holds as eg funnily enough NYC subway stations to m…

Reddit is almost as bad as Facebook in terms of being a bad web actor . It's a platform that grew on and through the open web and just keeps ever increasingly violating its origins. I distinctly…

Wow, was this widely reported? Do you have sources?

The 'roles' she mentioned don't negate her transition, but highlight the journey she underwent. Kafka's case differs greatly, as it's about work publication, not personal iden…

One of the main reasons why CETA (Canada / EU trade agreement) was so heavily contested. In the end though, as you said it's really all just one big eco system of eco systems: same as with c…

Thank you for sharing Melanie's perspective, it's clear she holds deep respect for her parent . It can be more complex from that perspective, let's indeed leave it at that side then. I…

It’s Danielle Bunten Berry. I think her name should be spelled correctly, especially by fans?

Where are the facts that back this up? Shouldn't there be disclosed evidence by now? Wasn't the counter culture under surveillance regularly? This is definitely a fitting conspiracy theory f…

Eventually we will not only need on-device ML assistants but even more so then, to own the whole stack from hardware bottom up.

(GPT-4) OpenAI's push for regulations in front of Congress can be seen in two ways: OpenAI, recognizing the potential risks associated with artificial general intelligence (AGI) and other AI tech…

“runaway rent seeking”?

I like the idea of “paperclips” as a substitute for the change of what money / profits mean “post Realwirtschaft”. Finance keeps on reigning supreme (ever increasingly) since the 80s. Why not ch…
