Gold will not hold value if the market crashes like that. Food, water, and land will be what holds value.

A malicious hosting server could use fake points to blast any message to the top of everyone’s feeds until manually banned or defederated

I definitely cannot do that

I just made the switch from Sync to Summit literally yesterday. Sync was fine for a while but it hadn’t been updated in ages (basically since the first major reddit migration wave) and it was starting to suffer as Lemmy incremented a few version numbers and Sync did not. Besides which I was paying a yearly subscription fee for an app that failed to load 2/3 of image posts.

If Sync gets an update I might still recommend it. It’s a good app, it just needs maintenance. In the meantime Summit does everything I wanted out of Sync, has an active developer with a Lemmy account, and doesn’t cost me money. I think it looks better too but that’s personal preference.

It’s a lot easier to fix a railroad than it is to remove a dragon.

Besides, the town provided the explosives after a charisma check, they had to know what they were going toward.

Does the track have random ramps on it as well to complete the F-Zero experience?

I also wasn’t familiar so I looked them up.

Reality Labs is Meta’s VR/metaverse branch.

Mapillary was previously a crowdsourced maps program like OpenStreetMaps, which was acquired by Meta in 2020. Presumably they’re looking to EEE it and fold it into Meta proper.

Beluga is a Twitter clone, I can’t find anything objectively bad about it other than being a Twitter clone.

All major US news outlets are in the pockets of the oligarchs. The revolution will not be televised.

We need a far-future setting Pokémon in the year 28,000 where we can find Ash still alive, the oldest being in the universe beside the actual gods, still looks and acts like a 12 year old dumbass

This is not an emergency, this is an easy mode try out for a real disaster.

So it’s going to be horribly fumbled in the stupidest manner possible and will definitely become a worldwide disaster. Got it.

They are definitely super willing to break the seal, just nobody has built a good target ID system yet that won’t fire on civilians.

If you just need everyone in a 10 mile radius dead, you could send in the hunter bots, or you could just shell the area with heavy artillery from three countries away. We already have that problem solved. Once we have a reliable target ID system I guarantee you’ll start seeing unmanned equipment in war.

“How to put a collar on a cat” yeah that tracks honestly

Volkswagen already has the trademark on that actually

Nobody ever accused him of being good at it

Sure, sometimes I miss doing drugs in college.

Mostly I miss the relative stability of society during those times, when the biggest news story of the cycle was that Obama wore a tan suit and liked Dijon mustard.

At the time we were reeling from Bush and the Iraq War situation but those feel like small potatoes now these days, even if they weren’t then.

If you enjoy this, have a peek at The Jargon File. Classic hacker slang is something else.

Hi, it’s me, here to ruin the fun as usual.

Noel and Liam Gallagher are the Gallaghers in question, and their band has been successfully sued for plagiarism on three different occasions.

I’m with Squid on this one.

It’s shorthand for “shits fucked but there’s not much I can do about it from here, so I just continue to exist in spite of everything”

The aviation industry can absorb a whole lot of sin before they’re on equal danger footing with automotive, if for no other reason than sheer volume. Most people, unless you fly constantly for work, get on a plane once a year or less. Most people drive to work almost every day. Roads have traffic, the skies do not (at least, not nearly to the same extent, midair collisions can happen but they’re rare).

I have no doubt the skies are about to become noticeably less safe, but they’ve got a looooot of catching up to do before they dethrone the automobile as one of the top 3 leading causes of death in America.
