  How do normal people survive?

  Simple. They know a fix-it-all tech person that will help them!

  I’m not even kidding, that’s how communities grew strong all over the world for millennia, and still do, on smaller scales, depending on the place. People create a network of specialists in each domain, and one calls the other when needed. Sometimes they pay for the work, sometimes they exchange favors, sometimes they just help for free. If you go to smaller neighborhoods in developing countries, you will see this in action all the time.

  Part of the success of large corporations and the spread of consumerist culture comes from promoting an extremely individualistic lifestyle and destroying people’s networks and relationships.

  Would be a nice plot for a game

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get it either. I have a couple of friends who pay for music streaming just to listen for the SAME music over and over. They don’t even make use of those so called recommendation algorithms or so. I tried to guide them into putting the music they like into their phones for offline listening, but they ignored me. I guess some people just have some sort of love for corporations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here in Brazil (and problably most of the developing world as well), piracy used to be the standard way to get console games. People would buy unblocked consoles from street merchants and then buy pirated media from them, or download the games from pirate sites.

  But with the newer xbox xs series, they made it so that piracy is impossible, and people got forced to buy games from microsoft. Since most people around here don’t have much money to spend, game pass became an option to have a selection of games always at disposal for a reasonable price, so it became popular. Sadly, that’s how microsoft expanded their business to the developing countries.

  But would a rearrangement of our atoms into identical beings be the same person as us? Maybe it would be just different consciousnesses having the same experiences, and we would never be back.

  I don’t think this is the point of the comic, but rather make some humorous speculation of a tech future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Impossible⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is probably just some bait to generate engagement

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dinner is ready! ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My list will be biased towards brazil, but I’d suggest trying tapioca, moqueca, churrasco, farofa, empadão, escondidinho, pão de queijo, broa, boliho de aipim, brigadeiro, paçoca, açai, pé de moleque, pé de moça, beijinho. That’s what came to my mind, but there are a lot more. And also, it’s hard to explain our culinary to others, because it’s not just about the food, it’s much more, like how it’s prepared, how we eat (we tend to eat together and socialize in these moments, people invite others to eat, etc) how we eat the good stuff like on a daily basis, and not just on special events, etc.

  And to pay respects to our friends, you will also find great food in west africa, argentina, chile, and all of south america!

  Here in Brazil, a lot of kids watch streamers because their families can’t afford any gaming devices :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dinner is ready! ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  F is one of the best choices, but most people from the northern hemisphere will miss out because they never had a chance to meet our culinary.

  Not having iot bullshit in our stuff is one of the few good things of living in a developing country.

  That’s interesting, I will check it out. I love e-ink displays, and being able to use my pc without eye strain would be awesome

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite cutting the gags, Borderlands 4's PC specs say it still needs 100GB of SSD space⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unavoidable, sure, as an unwanted side-effect of increasing overall quality, but since it’s possible to create unoptimized games that increase hardware requirements without delivering any improvements at all, if we cherish the hardware demand increases, we will create a fertile scenario for unoptimization, market manipulation and exclusion of people in the game industry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite cutting the gags, Borderlands 4's PC specs say it still needs 100GB of SSD space⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you think increasing hardware requirements for a game is a good thing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never do this obviously⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m like the opposite. Low quality food all day long and then a fruit or something so that I can trick myself into feeling healthy.

  I’m not proud of it…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't like AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re totally correct. I just have a too fertile imagination. There’s nothing to see here, officer!

  (Phew, hat one was too close. I will do better next time)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't like AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We don’t even need to burn stuff. We can turn the system into chaos by a mere general strike, like literally staying at home and not working or buying stuff for a few days, like really doing nothing and seeing the economic system crash. We don’t even need to be close to 100% of the population joining such a movement for it to work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't like AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Social media by itself can’t divide people. People become divided when they start thinking and acting like you’re doing at this moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Is It Like to Be a Bat?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think about that kind of thing so often. That’s why I don’t mess with animals, I just leave them be. Something fun and cute for me, that appears to be harmless, can be felt as a terrible experience to them.
