Not really. I’d argue the dot com bust was worse due to the quantity of websites that died because they didn’t actually have a business model.

What we’re seeing is a tech industry where all the tech is on the right side of the S curve and trying one last stab at a technology that may be on the left side.

But it isn’t about creating quality results. It is about creating good enough results where the cost of failure in AI over humans is lower than the cost of humans over AI.

This has been Silicon Valley’s MO for generations.

There is astroturfing, but there is also a lot of propaganda and story curation around the protests.

Like the rest of my body, I use a loofah. I have enough mobility to get to my entire back from one arm.

Yeah. They wrap the boxes with two plastic bands to keep the contents from tumbling out. I would wind them together to make a giant flat coaster.

It also gave me something to do with my hands.

Recycled the plastic that is used to go around office paper boxes so they don’t open into coasters.

If I’m doing that, I’m not laude.

Yeah. I went to a tech school, so the school was set up to teach the importance of communication and team building because they knew the engineers needed to be taught this and that understanding human systems was as important as understanding technical systems.

I could usually get away with saying “Bacon is a vegetable” when ordering a vegetarian burrito with pinto beans; the pinto beans were made with bacon.

People on Lemmy aren’t “normal” people and shouldn’t use their personal views as the norm.

World War III isn’t a romanticized repeat of World War II in Star Trek, though. It is an extremely destructive war that just about destroys most major national governments. There isn’t a winner with a peace treaty; all sides collapse.

The value isn’t as important and is more misleading.

You can create your own instance and give yourself as much karma as you want.

There are no internal Lemmy structures to prevent mass upvoting or downvoting.

Culture and voting rules across Lemmy are different and without a centralized authority.

Since the number is useless, it is made unavailable.

“Honey, I’m flattered, but I don’t have the same feelings for you. Even if I did, it would be inappropriate for us to have a relationship. I hope you find someone else closer to your age.”

I find it depends on how they get compensated.

The Last Jedi was a good movie, it just wasn’t a good Star Wars movie.

Only because Lemmy is small enough to not need it.

It isn’t the worst, but I would evaluate why you need to retake two classes and how it might your life going forward.

Not really. The creation of a lot of early monarchies were based on the military taking control of an area, then distributing portions of the area to key military members as a way to buy loyalty.

In contrast, fascism usually requires a corruption of a democracy and has different reasons for forming.
