Becoming better than that is our entire purpose.

Lol, websites are born and die constantly. Nobody knows what the next big thing will be but reddit will definitely die within our lifetime.

Remember MySpace? How about Friendster?

Kbin.social was my first too, Ernest was a king and I hope he’s doing well and thriving in life.

Made a handful of alts when it became clear kbin was going away. Ended up using .zip as my main as I like their hands-off approach to moderating/defederation. We’re federated with everyone except malicious/criminal instances by default. If you don’t want to see things you need to block them yourself which I like a lot.

You can already see them positioning themselves to start removing features with the phrase “free plan.”

Nothing stopping them from limiting the number of passwords available in “the free plan” or something, pressuring users into “the pay plan.”

But I’m pretty cynical.

Shit man I’m old and would’ve dropped a good chunk of money on a complete, single-player GTA6 physical disk, at launch.

I might’ve even gone and bought a PS5 as crazy as that sounds. I already have a great PC and haven’t gotten a console in a decade but I’ve gotten so much enjoyment from the franchise I’d feel pretty safe buying.

But the lack of a physical disk might actually be the thing that makes me completely reverse my decision. I tolerate it on PC because there are so many indie games it doesn’t really make sense to have a physical copy every time but with a huge AAA title from a proven money hungry powerhouse like R* it’s completely unacceptable. I want to be able to dig that disc out in 20 years and play forgotten games. I want to take my console out into the woods and play the game completely disconnected from the modern world if it suits me.

Pretty mind blowing to think maybe people don’t need 200 variations of the same sugary grains.

They’re two of the most visible faces with valid, well thought out critiques of the AI bubble. It’s only natural that true believers (or people with a vested interest in AI) come out of the woodwork to trash them, they’re scared.

Whatever it is, is on him in the scene when he crawls out from under the car, it looks like a cactus.

Random teenagers can absolutely google “download exploits” and have them available, that’s pretty much always been the case…

Full disclosure was a thing once upon a time, where exploits and proofs of concept were dumped publicly, forcing companies to fix the issue or be compromised. That’s mostly been moved away from in favor of responsible disclosure, giving companies time to patch the issue before it’s known publicly.

Maybe we should be moving back to full disclosure to force these companies to take data security seriously. Or at least then we could point to a known vulnerability as proof the company is shitty and is neglecting their infrastructure.

For some reason people seem to trust commercial organizations with misaligned incentives over governmental bodies.

Governments have a monopoly on legal violence.

Nah, we all fucked that guys mom.

The only place I’ve ever heard “congresscritter” was Rush Limbaugh or other right wing commenter. It makes me cringe every time.

I had just woken up, I’ll leave it.

The current ones definitely do.

Oh you misunderstood, nationwide IDs are the mark of the beast.

Being forced to give your biometric data to a company trying to create artificial consciousness? That’s just capitalism baby.

We do a nice brown gravy.

Maybe car dealerships are part of the problem.

They were joking.
