To be fair, stone age life has some drawbacks too. Few would want to potentially die to a failing tooth, die to any kind of disease or starve to death if winter is harsher than expected.

For all the 12 people who played it, at least.

V. Rather give me anarchy if our shitty government is the alternative.

Hey, I could at least observe superconductors at home!

Same way ofcom expects anyone outside UK to pay up, I guess.

Oh yes, because it’s not like Nigel Farage, Victor Orban and a bunch of other populists didn’t make use of US companies and advisors (and russian funds…) on how to best fracture societies to their end. Clearly nuking the internet would put an end to that, and all would be well.

Unironically yes. Otherwise the internet as we know it is very much over, and what we have instead is a mesh of country-nets.

I mean, what is actually “doing business” when it comes a simple web page or a forum for example? Merely existing and being reachable.

If you’re ok with this then imagine your local lemmy instance getting fined by China/Qatar/Thailand/etc for posting something breaking their laws.

Ah yes, the sim city way. Shit, I created bhopal v2. Uhhh, let’s just zone these guys a few blocks to the left!

All the idiots.

Hey ma, it’s the nazi guy’s AI again

That’s some rather unrealistic optimism unless someone slipped some speed in his coffee.

Holy crap, this still exists.

It’s not a requirement per se, but people without social skills make contact with others harder. The proliferation of online “meeting places” lead to the degradation of social skills that is then making people connect more difficult, making everyone lonelier.

In my opinion at least.

Amateurs, I doubt there’s a place I haven’t crashed into yet

People nowadays seem to forget that socialising is a skill. And to learn a skill one must learn by putting effort into and initially failing a lot.

Social platforms give the sensation of allowing one to skip this by jumping straight into ongoing conversations for a brief post, but that’s also not building any social skill.

Talk of the devil, is btrfs still wearing SSDs a lot?

Well yeah… also being visible enough to not get shot by your own side through thick gunpowder smoke was kinda neat.

You’ve got nothing on the average dwarf fortress searches. Mermaid children bone farming ftw.

There are a lot of good Americans out there who are still our friends and allies.

Yeah, approx 30% of them.
