    biometrics are ripe for abuse; i wouldn’t opt into that. why not use the lottery system like in japan or simply put a name on the ticket so it can’t be scalped.

    the token usage isn’t sustainable. formal english is a barrier but requirement for specification. brevity is the language of money and that’s the premise of management using ai. fy…

    it’s a commonality. we discover the same over and over on the 8311 discord at pon.wiki. often the result of disclosure is a firmware update that removes the ability to create a con…

    Got it all wrong, typical AI slop. It reveals that Fabrice Bellard is still above all, super human. LUL

    Why bother? Ask yourself first if you’re doing anything truly meaningful. The answer is likely no; it’s all irrelevant. Time is finite. The thousand ideas you had don’t need to be …

    Where did u get this notion from? you must not be old enough to know how subscription services play out. Ask your parents about their internet or mobile billings. Or the very least…

    I have a wonderful collection of retro consoles and games that I let my nephews play when I babysit without much worry or trouble. Sure some of it is considered obscene, offensive,…

    Is it really a question about processing performance though? I’ve always assumed it was about bandwidth and latency… Communication protocols don’t need to be human-readable because…

    Lay-off the engineers and promote the mouthpieces. It’s not a Microsoft issue, it’s an industry 1. They’re making poor choices because there was a major shift to incompetence. Usin…

    I maintain multi OS documentation at pon.wiki and it’s just easier for me this way as it’s distraction free, synced to a NAS. I could setup a VM or another system but I’ve always m…

    Piracy and meshed networks are going to be an inevitable future. We fought for and lost net neutrality which hasn’t shown face yet but with subscription browsers it’s time is nigh.…

    I kinda question the validity of the NSFW explanation news articles are bringing up because it’s signalling out foreign assets more than anything. Maybe a ploy in trying to keep th…

    What’s idiotic is Canada has TeleSat which was established by the Canadian Government in 1969, although it’s private today. It’s also headquartered in Ottawa so I don’t know how th…

    You’re making it out like it was zero sum prior which it wasn’t and never has. The increased is 5% and the new baseline for taxable goods ie. 15% from the prior 10%. It’s basically…
