This meme is a fine vintage, obviously shows some wear, but that’s to be expected.

I have to ask how you came across this meme? Has it been in your family long?

Now, I know you wouldn’t want to part with it but for the sake of insurance we’d value this at… 100 meme points.

Feels very Black Mirror to me. Not a bad thing at all.

Here’s a thing. Yes. What you say is true… But when you have legitimate paying jobs that demand recent experience in retail, then this sort of thing becomes attractive to people that just want a fucking job.

Don’t blame people for doing this, blame the system for making them feel like they have to.

Totally intentional.

I think he made it everyone’s business… I think that he might even enjoy making it everyone’s business.

Going to need a little more than “near-flawless” before I step near one of those pads. Also, don’t come at me with “it’s safer than driving”… If I have a crash I just have to reassemble my limbs, not my entire atomic structure.

I know, I was being sort of glib … But the internet doesn’t get sarcasm or gentle irony.

Y’know, I think I read this same hyperbolic reporting in the 80s in a New Scientist, and again in the 90s. For some reason teleportation went quiet in the early 2000’s as far as popular reporting went, but it looks like it is back.

I have a suspicion that, alongside space travel, there is this fascination in getting out of this place because we’ve fucked it up.

Web in the search, AI in the search, personal assistant in your files, things in your things that you don’t want, didn’t ask for and are struggling to extract.

(Idiots)… Way to roast normal people. Don’t know if they will ever recover. The best bit was putting it in brackets.

You are normal people.

I think the stabilisation wobble artifacts are harder to watch than actual jitter. The ones in the opening crawl across the buildings are brutal.

You are framing this as an access issue rather than one of predation.

Fast food chains don’t make a cheap menu to help poor people experience their food, they do it to milk every bit of money from a populace.

Don’t expect social justice from corporate entities.

That’s a bit harsh. No aggression intended, or apparent.

Are you OK?

It’s a musktash.

Absolutely loving the replies to this.

This is how the extended Linux community wins for me.

Sure we talk shit for fun. The Arch BTW stuff, the Gentoo shade and Slackware side-eye. But its all in jest, ultimately.

Well done.

I mean they sent someone called “Eden Golan”.

That would be like the English fielding a contestant called, “Paradise Belfast”.

“There are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user’s VPN runs on Linux or Android.”

So there are ways.

This meme is older than the cast of stranger things. Here, have an archeology point.

Wow, he must have really learned his lesson from the last 9 telling offs.

adam_y, 10 days ago

Sort of my point.

Yeah, it’s strange how much that overtones window has shifted during my life time. It makes me hanker for the quiet times if John Major’s stint… And I say that as a socialist.

I think that the business of parliament got hijacked by the business of the city during the 90s. Thus has left us with career politicians.

The difference being what sort of business benefits the city. The Tories have been great for boom and bust. An absolute bonanza for hedging and shorting, but less so for long term stability. I think that’s where labour come in. The sane business but with a calmer plan.
