Same story. Also with my mother :D

Like what problems? I am using /e/ daily for myself and my family, and it's working like a charm.

Well E/OS is mainly about privacy. And about getting rid of Google. And it works. To me that's more important and it's a better vision.

The main question should be: are split keyboards any better than normal keyboard?

When I gave it a look, the studies were on the side of split keyboards being the hardware equivalent of snake oil.

But whatever.

And maybe then: are keyboards the best input device in 2026?

I like the half-life of knowledge a lot, but it should better take into account that using your craft actually improves what you know. This half-life is more a thing for stuff you never use in your life. And is there anything good to remember things that have no use for you? It's just wasting space in your head.

So having your skills expire after a while might actually be a good thing.

"We stand today at the brink of civilizational and envi- ronmental collapse."

No we don't.

End of me reading this paper.

If that paranoia is related to their participation in organized crime... well, governments should be the least of their problems in a few years.

This is so stupid on so many levels, I don't even get silicon valley engineers can envision this stuff for their own kids. Or maybe they don't care. Whatever.

Wow… an engineer making generalizations about the fact that he is in a tunnel… and not realizing for a second that he is in said tunnel. How new.

Well... the cult of science :)

Leaving the science cult is indeed the right move in order to discover the reality of life.

I totally agree. The comics is right - it's Munroe after all, but it's the analysis of the blog author that I am divergent with.

Technological short-sight at its best.

The GIS took decades to be developped and become functionnal.

The tools allowing to do a GIS lookup also took decades to be developped.

The tools allowing to encode the geodata within a picture file idem.

Not mentioning the development of the necessary hardware to take the pictures.

At the time the comics was being written, GIS lookup had been made easily available since what? 10 years?

And 10 years later, another layer is now easily available - also after decades of collective research and development.

It's not about "the difference between easy and hard challenges in software".

It's about the maturity of a software and its ecosystem, and understanding how even some small incremental changes can have an important impact.
