Population expansion is exponential but the tram moves at constant velocity, so by the time it reaches the end of the track of 8bn people there will be an exponentially increasing number of people further down the track.

The bottom one will kill an infinite amount of people in finite time.

I checked your Mastodon timeline but I don’t see the post, only the one where you relate the story.

Yes the volunteer software authors should work to the beat of the drum of the baying and braying users who insist on using cutting edge software before its wider ecosystem has adapted to its novelties. A very good point.

It really is a shame that they force you to update to the new version. If only there was some way to continue using the existing Gnome version until the extensions have been updated by their authors.

better luck next time

Slightly off-topic for this post but would it be possible to get a metadata field in the instance picker for the country that the instance is hosted in?

Some of the instances say this in the text blurb, but many don’t mention it, and it’s something that is becoming increasingly important for people with all the new social media laws coming in in various countries.

Thanks.

We’ll relaunch crowdfunding with a functional prototype. We’re also in talks with investors who respect our values.

This is almost certainly deliberate and a result of the theregister’s sense of humour.

It began upon the following Occasion. It is allowed on all Hands, that the primitive way of breaking Eggs, before we eat them, was upon the larger End: But his present Majesty’s Grand-father, while he was a Boy, going to eat an Egg, and breaking it according to the ancient Practice, happened to cut one of his Fingers. Whereupon the Emperor his Father published an Edict, commanding all his Subjects, upon great Penaltys, to break the smaller End of their Eggs. The People so highly resented this Law, that our Histories tell us there have been six Rebellions raised on that account; wherein one Emperor lost his Life, and another his Crown. These civil Commotions were constantly fomented by the Monarchs of Blefuscu; and when they were quelled, the Exiles always fled for Refuge to that Empire. It is computed, that eleven thousand Persons have, at several times, suffered Death, rather than submit to break their Eggs at the smaller End.

It’s the bloody Sycamore Gap Tree all over again! When will this madness end!?

It’s like CORBA but for Typescript.

I read one of his novels, I mean blog posts, once. It was so long I had to get a screen reader to read it to me like a podcast because I just didn’t have the time to scroll through that wall of text.

I was nodding along the whole way. Yeah yeah it was all stuff I agree with. But there was not a single original thought in that ~1 hour of screen-read text (at 150% speed no less). I felt like I had wasted my time bothering to read this novel, I mean blog post.

If you are a choir that wants to be preached to, and you want to hear someone with a name that other people recognise play the greatest hits of your anti-AI sentiment then it’s great. Otherwise, you’re really not missing anything by ignoring every single thing posted here under his name. You get the exact same rhetoric from the memes posted to this community and every other.

Instead I would recommend pluralistic blog (Cory Doctorow) who actually has original thoughts on the industry, the economy, and what activists can do to help their communities.

I haven’t seen this youtuber’s videos before. Do they normally drop 40 minutes of spoilers for a game that came out just 6 months ago? I thought this was going to be a review and it turned into a walkthrough less than 10 minutes in.

We just have peak/off-peak charging times, so not even hourly pricing yet.
