  I can’t relate coz I’d be very intrigued by a worn blue rectangle :D, especially if it’s under LGBTQ section. Thanks and all the best.

  It’s the age of indie imo. We’re seeing the final chapter of studios with 100s of employees. Replacing with AI is the lazy, catastrophic way of doing through it.

  Wow, I feel that’s something we should bring back. Professors many a times get too specialized. A librarian taking care of a broad category would bring balance. Though I suppose having more than 100~200 such libraries in an economy the size of US or EU feels excessive too.

  Just to check - do you know that they do this, or do you think that’s the way it’s best done? - Because that is a lot of work and you’d need a lot of librarians

  How would you choose which book to get on middle-saharan 17th century tribes anyway? You can’t know about everything. You’d just have to ask a bunch of experts in the field, right?

  They said that about communism. State controlling and planning every inventive in the economy is a failure any which way

  I feel capitalism is necessarily how a large country can work but taxing wealth is needed

  The beetlemania was a bit much but the beetles did pioneer new music, just look at their white album

  So… Jimmy Carter is to be blamed? /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony doubles down. Only responds to their investors, not the consumers. I've never bought a digital console title. That will continue.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  SD cards could have been a successor but it’s no match for the ease of a good service over internet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's rigged⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably made sense at the time with reasonable minimum wage and super progressive income tax

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are the SMS limits orders of magnitude smaller than data limits bandwidth-wise?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In some countries there are inter-operator agreements on pricing sms. You’d probably get better answers if you can tell which country and which operator you’re seeing this on.

  That’s literally how it’s working now. The top 0.1% pays propotionately less than top 10%

  Have you not heard of corporate/profits tax?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn straight!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Any union can be a problem. On the extreme left, there’s tyranny of unions, and on extreme right, there’s tyranny of oligarchs. There needs to be balanced political leadership.

  Intentional or not, packed ramen is great whatever your wealth level

  Depending on the labor costs, it could be cheaper than a cement mixer

  Thought you all are exaggerating until I saw Nvidia’s official demo video. Holy crap.
