They said we have six months to get our shit in order or they're calling their big brother tube-shaped space probe and we won't like talking to him.

why? i'm not being snarky, i'm trying to figure out what we even consider consciousness to be nowadays and why it'd be limited to biological entities.

At least they're doing severance, health insurance, etc. Nowadays if I got laid off at a company I'd expect to just find that my key didn't work and a "check's in the mail" letter to the wrong address.

Until 1/3 of your hard drive space is taken up by weird cache stuff that MacOS doesn’t explain nor offer a straightforward way to clean up.

I’m freaking out the equivalent of mutt and irc require more than 8GB of RAM to run simultaneously.

What are modern operating systems and applications doing?

I first really started to learn how to use computers playing Leisure Suit Larry on a friend's dad's computer. Started with copying save-games to/from floppy disks, to using MS-DOS in general, to BASIC, etc. and so forth.

It's interesting how much of the humor in those games flew way over my head yet I still had a blast playing them. And looking back as an adult, the "risque" stuff was tame as hell but still fun. Sigh, good times.

Governance by democracy isn't about qualification, it's about legitimacy.

If the government ends up filled with incompetents that's a failure of the people that elected them.

it's sarcasm. a lot of arguments against social services like universal health care boil down to "well taxation is theft and therefore they're not actually free because they pay higher taxes"

I assume decelerating forever means asymptotically approaching not collapsing.

The emulator runs way too fast - probably because I'm on a MacBook Pro with some bizarre refresh rate.

Very impressive demo nonetheless.
