Reformatting InfoWars as a serious, unironic branch of the Onion that deals with misinformation would just be great.

This is just the difference between science and academia.

The artist is also the guy who bought the exclusive rights to Vantablack and hates that people call it “The Bean”, se lets all call it what it is.

That actually already exists. It’s good tech, but more for out of reach areas or where moving parts would be an issue. For a regular home, curtains work better.

man, reddit pfp are ugly. Maybe it’s just being corporate approved “individuality”.

Reverse time travel isn’t possible, so stop quoting a specific model used in fiction. The rules can be whatever you want because it’s just a joke.

I’ve dropped websites over less.

Don’t you feel represented?

They’ve collected too much data and trust their algos too much. The data from lemmy isn’t nearly as easy to parse or plentiful as the data from twitter or facebook. Bitching and moaning here isn’t nearly as compromising or attention grabbing as the shit that goes on on the sites run by open fascists.

Seriously, the next time I meet some of the friends irl, I’m explaining that I wont be talking to them online without encryption involved. I ended up quitting a discord I made because they were copy/pasting their posts that was getting them banned on facebook there. Absolutely no sense of infosec. Those posts had the real names attached and now that’s associated with a discord I set up. Luckily, I was using a foreign email to register it.

Who’s not openly atheist…

Lucky I’m not and would be willing to hide people if necessary.

Then the rabble wont show up for elections. No better way to drain the energy out of a voter base then to make their voices feel unheard.

Do you think we’ll get primaries back? And not the fake ones we’re use to.

While I have had criticism of Harris, I’ve never insulated that she(or Biden) wasn’t the much, much better option. I have been called a Burniebro on a discord by someone who doesn’t take criticisms very well.

Yes, because doing accounting on paper is the same as reading a book. And listening to your boss is the same as listening to your friends.

Yeah, I just checked. I can see my own dislikes. They hide the number directly, but I can see how many likes I have and the ratio of likes to unlikes.

Also, the creators that I follow didn’t like having the dislikes removed. Even if they did, I can make my own judgement calls. I’m sure the creators who are more dependent on sponsorships like not having their embarrassments visible. I’m sure IH doesn’t mind that stuff not being visible for “his” hole video.

Except that the uploader can still see the downvote count. It was just removed so that corporations wouldn’t be embarrassed when they put out an unpopular trailer or product.

There’s a long list of historic examples of people who actual are what the techbros fantasy about being. I was limiting myself to living examples of people who were just interested in the tech. Carmack’s comments when he left facebook was fun to see. I always thought he was better then that company.

When Google removed the dislikes from youtube videos, one of the lies they told was it was for the users(or uploader’s) mental health.

A few things the cynics are missing.

1. The engineers who are designing this car don’t have the political power to push for better mass transit.
2. Even in ideal circumstances, there will still be a need for personal transport vehicles and infrastructure. Small cars will still be needed.
3. Aptera has 31 employees as of 2023. If they’re working overtime, it’s because they’re letting the company do it. Maintaining good moral is way more important in small companies.

Well, Stark is actually a fictional character in a genre that too often uses the term “smartest X alive” when that’s not how intelligence works at all. Also, like others have said, Howard Hughes is more likely the inspiration for Stark. That being said, the closest irl “tech savant” I can think of is John Carmack.
