I wish they would have done it better so I could call it the best ATBGE ever. But it looks like the basket just replaced a big block Chevy before they baked the cake.

Kind of a beat idea, I want to make a Minecraft one now

Find yourself a nice blue city and move into the suburbs. Lots of good jobs too.

Should give them a 3% brick through the back window. /s

I’m more worried about their definition of buy ;)

It does seem to be some differentiation, I can’t walk into my child’s school and check out a book. At least I don’t think that would fly. It would definitely not be the norm.

They do actually have to re-license their online audio books every so many listens. They have to pay for the same audiobook over and over.

That’s why it’s a lot better for them to lend out the CDs, a few people are coming in for that.

It’s s gateway drug. It’s ok to let them come in on Mint and Ubuntu, they’re scared and confused. Give them creature comforts. Once they’re warm and fuzzy, they’ll get inquisitive and branch out.

Regale to the Mint users the virtues of your better choices, but tell the windows users come on it and use whatever they’re comfortable with.

I don’t know what in the hell I did, I have one of the solid circular round ones with a small hole in the back for the keychain. It’s been on my keys for ages. One morning I went to put my seat belt on and got a sharp stab. I pulled my keys out and it was bent 90° and I just the tiniest little bit of blood on it.

I mean, they fit on a keychain, which is fucking great; Sadly, they stab you through the pants pocket so they’re fucking rude.

I’d probably feel very different about the whole situation if the call center is that were being subverted were in my own country.

No one is asking for a gaggle of full-time engineers.

The flowchart is designed to fix the vast majority of problems top down. If 90% of the problems are solved by rebooting you’re going to reboot. It doesn’t matter if the ONT shows your fiber line is not connected. Wow that sucks I understand and don’t have a problem with that. But most support these days can’t even connect you with an actual engineer once you break the flow chart.

You spend 30 minutes on the phone having them check off check boxes when they get down to the point where there’s actually a level two problem, there’s no one there to talk to you. Here let us take down your information and we’ll get back to you within the next 24 hours.

A couple of decades ago this really wasn’t a problem. Level 1 technicians would run their flowcharts if you broke out to a level two technician you wait on the line for 10 to 15 minutes and you’d end up with a level two technician, It almost always solve the problem if it was solvable. Honestly the products I call for support on haven’t really gone down in price with the lack of support provided these days. They used to be able to provide me multi-tier support live on the phone with just their existing margins. It’s the same thing screwing over pharmacies and retail. They found they can get by with giving less support and having less people work the lines so that’s what they’re doing.

Honestly it’s not that much worse than being forwarded off to India where someone’s getting paid $0.10 an hour to read off a flow chart to me. If your 24-hour service line doesn’t have an actual engineer available after the flow chart It’s not meaningfully different than the AI.

My first inclination was blender is critical to see progress as you set the time, ovens can see how brown cookies are but the dishwasher is a fixed cycle and who care… but then I thought about my washer and dryer both having windows for no reason what so ever.

No no no, doesn’t stop there.

Then you created a business, run by your most…devout… followers, they’ll manage the business.

You pay them to collect money for you, and um, teach them the ways and make sure they bring their families and friends in.

You tell them they are all horrible people who will suffer in eternity unless they worship you and thank you that they were born.

Then your managers, they meet with all your followers and shake them down tell them how important it is to fund the business.

It’s a very complex thing really being the creator of the universe and having to have people start a business to fund…um…worshiping you…

It’s not a bad idea but federated is the term they’re using to tell everybody not to get off reddit because it’s too confusing.

I think whatever name you give it they’re going to try to sell it as being too confusing.

You could call it distributed web but they’ll taint that as soon as you stick it in front of them

A post mentioning IPFS that hasn’t been downvoted into the mantle? I’m impressed.

It seems that most people don’t have any idea that it’s not reliant upon blockchain.

Somebody asked the other day about hosting websites on cell phones. I mentioned that IPFS would be just about perfect for that and everyone got out their pitchforks.

I think there’s some sci-fi there somewhere

You can easily implement AES 256 in JavaScript. So you can tap the web framework on any device and run your app on just about any platform.

The problem is, They no longer get signal intelligence from it and can no longer monetize it.

Killing a thousand roaches would be pretty difficult… I’m just sayin’…
