Kids who can't afford fancy computers grow up into rich adults who have no nostalgia towards your game franchise

That's really interesting. I'm not brain damaged (at least not more than most people, heh) but I always had a pretty strong preference for higher refresh rate screens. They just se…

> States have people with guns that enforce laws (...) How does a DAO do this? The same way the state does it: Paying them money. > officials who willingly leave office when they l…

Can even put a button on the end. Something dramatic like a nuclear launch button.

I bought my first 4k@120 monitor this year. Huge TV that doubles as PC screen. The first time I've bought a TV and the first time I've spent that much on a monitor. My graphics car…

There are also EVM-compatible coins now with better L1 scalability and defi swaps and bridges between ETH and these coins

> crypto exchanges, gambling, or more cryptocurrencies (such as ERC-20 based ones on the Ethereum blockchain). These are the building blocks of more interesting stuff that will com…

I will continue to cheer on the criminals until it's normal for companies to have good information security.

Because there are so many companies who deserve derision. Not all companies of course.

I partly agree with both of those sentiments. I think DAOs have the potential to replace nations and cryptocurrency's most revolutionary use case at the moment is being a playgroun…

The recommender algorithms cater to the dumbest common denominator, i.e. content with the broadest appeal (no niche stuff) to the most active internet users (people with way too mu…

And it doesn't unmount partitions when you shut down so if you use Windows one day and Linux the next you have to boot up Windows first and then reboot into Linux so that Windows w…

Old Chinese people have experienced starvation. Young people have not.

One of my friends stays at his current company where he has stayed for years, despite only getting low single-digit pay increases each year.

They really don't need to. They are kicking people out of their homes because of a law that shouldn't exist. They could just not prioritize it and free up resources for other crime…

Maybe spend more on civilian research then. Wouldn't it be cool if the government would spend trillions on researching cool new tech for improving society rather than destroying it…

It lets SWERFs pat themselves on the back and feel good by pretending they're not punishing sex workers, only the "evil" men who provide sex workers with income. In practice we hav…

Just that men earn more money and have more wealth than women when looking at population averages. In many cultures women are expected to marry and look after the kids while the me…

People who are born men and rich have the option of paying for those services, so what's most unfair?

Sex/conversation/whatever with a person you really like and feel that you click with, who focuses all her skill attention on giving you the time of your life, is completely differe…

> What would the prostitution equivalent be? Universal basic income

Without looking at the numbers at all I'm pretty sure that number can be ignored almost completely. It's all but guaranteed to be vastly underreported, but fortunately none of the …

The question of whether it's good and wholesome is orthogonal to the question of whether society should punish those who do it. Scenario A: Resourceful, successful, happy. Should s…

The grizzled IRC veterans. We are finally free of the deluge of clueless plebs.
