So the topics discussed are sci-fi, and politics. Not technology then.

Who’s “Glenn” and why does he belong in “Technology”? Is he a robot?

What does this post about people ramblings have to do with Technology?

I love how rich people in particular love proposing that people have more kids while simultaneously ignoring that people can’t afford to have kids.

I can tell you many couples with 2, 1 or even no kids that would have 3, 5 instead if that was something vaguely realistic financially speaking.

Of course you can always compromise and say “I’ll have 3 kids but they won’t have the chance to go to university, etc.” which morally… Sucks. The world is complicated enough to bring someone into it without giving them good chances at succeeding.

I don’t think it’s only men either, but it’s worth considering the implications and potential causes for what is being said here.

We have had not decades but centuries of macho culture, where mental health is a taboo for men because “I strong, me no cry” and we know that mental health struggles go underreported on men. This is just adding more evidence to a symptom that we already know, of a society that hasn’t been able to course correct because it’s too set in tradition to allow those who need help to seek it without feeling like garbage.

While I’m not saying this is a problem exclusive to men, I think the causes and effects on women and men are rather different. We’ve now known for a while that women with mental health issues or disorders tend to go undiagnosed (even more so than unreported). The case of autism is particularly blatant, as women only started to get diagnosed in a meaningful proportion in the 80s (despite autism not being sex- or gender-driven). https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/identity/autistic-women-and-girls

Similarly, that underdiagnosing came from the stereotyping of gender roles and the fact that being quiet and pretty equated being “feminine”, which is “good”, so can’t be autistic, because autistic is bad.

I think the opposite. They will learn not to hold primaries because that goes against their interests.

They’ll keep trying the Hillary / Kamala strategy until they get lucky or the US is done for good and the notion of a government becomes pointless.

I think this means we can make a torrent client with a built in function that uses 0.1% of 1 CPU core to train an ML model on anything you download. You can download anything legally with it then. 👌

Still, being able to argue they’re not for profit is what typically has protected emulators from being sued to oblivion (and with Nintendo, even that’s risky)…

I don’t agree - to me, it feels the article is not about generations but about society. For example, take the fact that right now aesthetics are shaped by algorithms, and anyone from any generation needs to tailor their photography to what the algorithm likes. This is not a “gen z bad, millennial good” complaint - this is cross-generation and the complaint here is “we’re all letting corporations dictate our tastes like never before”.

The other points such as FOMO, Monetization of human relationships (influencers), can be similarly linked to social interactions being primarily corporate controlled.

I don’t think it’s fair to dismiss those issues as “things young people like”, nor to put the blame on them and say “these issues are caused by how young people interact socially”.

FOMO is a genuine cause for anxiety and it’s a direct consequence of a modern society where social media exists - not something that Millenials, Gen Z or Gen Alpha like or are responsible for.

I would say it’s mostly because of ADHD that I prefer digital. I don’t lose it, it doesn’t turn into clutter, I can take it with me without having to remember (e.g. on the steam deck or switch)…

There’s the downside of publishers sometimes removing access to the content, but that’s more of a downside of bad actors rather than digital explicitly - people who bought The Crew as a physical copy still lost access because ubisoft sucks, not because it was digital.

In different ways. For example, it’s very rare for a car to explode in a collision, other than in movies.

One of the reasons that make hydrogen difficult to work with in this sense is that hydrogen (H₂) molecules are so small that they can permeate most materials, such as steel. Then it can get somewhat easily to wherever there is a spark, and chaos ensues. Annoyingly you don’t even need 100% Hydrogen for that to happen, as it can ignite with a concentration of just 4%.

After we stopped using Hydrogen mostly as a consequence of Hindenburg’s accident, it’s taken years to perfect hydrogen fuel cells to a safety standard that can be used in cars. As far as I know, its use has been limited to rockets/space propulsion otherwise (where you can just throw millions at the problem to make it safer).

I mean it’s your money, but if you already have a portable handheld with better screen, better battery, and that can run the whole of the steam catalogue… why spend $450 (or whatever) on the Mario Machine, is it just for the exclusives?

It’s not. Read again.

What are you smoking?

Maybe do some self reflection first? You’re missing their point and it’s bigger than Saturn.

It’s a bit too close to the old MasterCard logo for me, but still cool.

Nice, it even comes with a happy coronavirus logo!

Only 6M €? For an event of that size that feels a lot cheaper than I would have thought.

Terrible headline. It sounds like Poundland is fully going away, rather than them closing some shops and cutting the unprofitable fluff such as the clothing line (which is what the article says).

Isn’t this satire?

A console in 2025 “runs at a stable 30” fps and that’s good news? Of course this is slightly faster than a mobile chip from 10 years ago, but that’s an incredibly low bar to set.
