Then move to another instance. That's the beauty of the fediverse. I left that bullshit behind on Reddit, I'll be damned if it follows me out here.

You're not on Reddit anymore. You might've been able to fool people with dog whistles and bad-faith arguments there, but people here are smarter than that and can see right through you.

You're among people who left that shit behind, remember?

I used to love the text-based adventures, like "Adventure"

Any relation to the Atari game of the same name? I have fuzzy memories of playing a literal block that had to pick up a vaguely shaped sword and fight blocky looking dragons to get a blocky magic chalice.

There's still a metric shit ton of support information in thousands of forums spread out over the internet. We're all just used to Google pushing Reddit results to the top so we've been conditioned to think that the Reddit answer is always the more accurate one.

The information will carry on, somehow. The internet always makes sure of it. I can still find archives of usenet posts from 1994.

Start a nonprofit open source IoT hardware company. Internet-connected smart devices and appliances are cool, but not the way they are implemented now. I'd base everything on common hobby chips like ESP32, AVR, and STM32. Every single device would have a completely unlocked firmware upload port.

Yeahh...but there's no documentation, no schematics, and no legal ability to take the design and modify and redistribute it. That's what I want to change. I want to create the Linux of IoT.

Ah thanks.

Why are they being called "boomer shooters"? My boomer parents didn't want anything to do with them. The older millenials were the ones playing them. Most boomers don't even like video games.

Jesus, I haven't heard the name "Furcadia" in like, 20 years. I wasn't aware it was still in operation. I thought most of us had moved on to SL or VRchat.

older generation

Do they mean the boomers, because I'm 41 and I've been into the fandom for the past 25 years. It's been around for a few decades at this point.

Work a small job, get german citizenship, marry a german partner, have a german family, die in a german grave, and forget why you did it all.

The thrusters on the outside. The goal was to minimize hull penetrations for cabling and things.

The protomolecule. Let me know when the whole plant lifts off and crashes into Venus.

Are the two armies somewhat evenly matched? I'm afraid someone's gonna get desperate enough to start using nukes.

This is what I find funny about this thread. People are trying so hard to justify it NOT being AI by breaking its actions down like this, while forgetting that WE learn the exact same way.

You could even say that WE aren't even making conscious decisions. Every decision we make is weighed against past experiences and other stimuli. "Consciousness" is the brain lying to itself to make it seem like it has free will.

Not really interested in turning my desktop systems into Android or a game console. That's what immutable OSes with Flatpack (the cartridges) seem like to me. I like having control.

I think it's fine for embedded devices or something like a Steam Deck where an end user just wants to plug it in and play and not learn Bash scripting. But I'm a bit old school when it comes to my desktop.

Pretty sure after this they are done, I'm not sure you would be able to find someone on this planet moronic enough to go with them again.

I even boosted you, that's the good shit yo.

seroiusly... are they just that bored with life?

I do imagine Chuckie Cheese and Six Flags get boring quickly with that kind of money.

Some dude asked how he could avoid pooping for three days for undisclosed reasons. It took off from there and birthed the Fediverse's first real original meme/copypasta. The equivalent of "Narwhal bacons at midnight" on Reddit.

If only things could have gone any other way and we can all see his face when the sub implodes first time in the test chamber.

Do you say the same when people say "That plane went down in a field?" which is generally understood to mean "crashing"?
