We will never not have a housing crisis in my lifetime.

If we start building, the displaced will fill them. Nevermind that we have so many others already vying for their own homes.

Ethical behavior is a thing for SO many reasons. One of them is it tends to keep you on the right side of the law.

Hard reboot.

A person who no longer asks that question.

Do you have any kerosene? Lighter?

How much do you love the cat?

I wonder when AI will be designing its own chips. Or parts of its chip.

Gotta have that third temple.

I dunno that Bibi was confused. He had an opportunity, he needed something to change politics, and now we’re here. He’s not omnipotent within Israel, but clearly enough Israelis are okay with this.

When it’s not an experiment:

• Do we know where it is?
• Is it mobile?

How do the holidays even work? Or do they?

So much of the SovCit that gets posted looks like theft with extra steps.

Is that normal? I know exactly 0 SovCits and some of what gets posted almost reads as satire. My mind can’t seem to grasp what these individuals are even communicating.

Is this really: I made an llc. Llc bought a car. I signed contract with “under protest” so the contract is valid in favor of me with no recourse for the entity selling the car?

Someone with deep pockets needs to buy the super charging network.

Rebrand and keep building.

I’m pretty sure there’s a path to wealth in that idea. I have neither the means nor the skill. But some does. Just not Musk.

Nuh uh.

I watched the Truman Show, too. What they don’t show is when he leaves one sim, he exits into the adjacent flat surface.

Cities Skylines 2 went the opposite direction.

Here’s hoping lessons are learned. Entire generations have learned to be deeply skeptical even with trusted brands.

And, yes, I hope that skepticism and relationship based, authentic(?) word of mouth brings sanity for a while.

Until businesses try to optimize that into oblivion too. We gotta put guard rails in place.

If we ever nuke China or Russia, do you think we’re worried about the airspace we’re using?

I get it as a principled point, but I think you’re missing what’s happening here. And deniability and/or inability to knock the missile down… It flies.

I was simply explaining why I’m bailing on them.

Google graveyard has happened. YT makes them a lot of money, so it’s not likely destined there. But, like search, they will eventually make it more about $ extraction than value for the customer.

It hasn’t happened yet. Early adopters and early leavers shape things.

There’s multiple issues with this but a lot of them come down to: it’s Google.

They will charge. They have heaps of money, they will enzhittify. They will kill and recommend a new less capable app.

They’re Google and I’m moving away from them hard.

I do use YT a lot, and for now I pay. But give me a little time and that won’t be as true.

I’ve seen a LOT of strawman attacks. It usually seems to be honest miscommunication, but underneath that… It looks like predisposition to combative and somewhat-dismissive hot takes.

And it works. Certain members have swung entire conversations and down votes by implying a person said something they didn’t.

It’s not unique to online fora, but the concentration seems off here.

Some of this just looks like people feeling like big fish in this small pond and finding a degree of confidence or even righteousness from the voting patterns.

They did this before with IE…

Yeah… I’ve been evaluating moving to Plex or Jellyfin.

Kinda getting done with a lot of this smart stuff. The Monopolies are flexing and I don’t enjoy it.
