There is no need to “bring back” forums, there are plenty that already exist. You just need to participate in them if that’s what you want.

This analogy makes absolutely no sense.

> vacuous empty comments > saying sweet nothings > empty puffery

By definition the only ad-hominem comments to be seen anywhere above.

If a hammer had a chat interface that said everything was a nail then the answer would be yes, the hammer lies to you about everything being a nail.

'Trivers said Epstein is a person of integrity who should be given credit for serving time in prison and for settling civil lawsuits brought by women who said they were abused.

"Did he get an easy deal? Did he buy himself a light sentence? Well, yes, probably, compared to what you or I would get, but he did get locked up," Trivers said. He said he got about $40,000 from Epstein to study the relationship between knee symmetry and sprinting ability.

Trivers also said he believes girls mature earlier than in the past. "By the time they're 14 or 15, they're like grown women were 60 years ago, so I don't see these acts as so heinous," he said.'

Nothing in there about network states, taking over areas of the city and putting people in special coloured shirts to mark them as outsiders and then booting them out, etc

> If the past year has taught us anything, it’s that the US can’t really be seen as the “good guys” in such a simple way.

More like the past 200 years. America have never been the "good guys", and it is only Americans who seem to think they ever were.

Which particular long list of bugs? I’m on my work laptop, personal laptop and phone all day no problem. I’ve seen all the ranting here about the interface, window corners and menu icons but in day to day use have not encountered a single “bug”. And after some initial skepticism I actually like the design direction of Tahoe.

I reported one of these recently. It was also related to clearing space, specifically system files. It was the second top sponsored link and presented as an Apple support page. The styling was very convincing, with the only giveaway being the url.

A day later my parents called me very stressed out about a popup on my mother’s iPhone saying she had been hacked. I asked them to take a screenshot, and again it was a website that was styled to look like a modal on top of a iOS Settings app page. With the new ui this was extremely effective, as the page title is just a tiny thing down the bottom in scrolled state.

I don’t know what is going on, but I’d assume the problem is AI moderation.

As someone whose hobby is collecting and listening to music, who has spent huge amounts of money and time on the hobby, this is fantastic news.

You are right. A Google search for the quote, with or without the em dash, brings up nothing. It is not even misattributed.

> If your party is successful, the police will knock on your door, unless your party is very successful in which case they will lob tear gas through your living room window.

I threw a party (illegal, on the beach, with great music) so successful the police just provided security at the parking lot entrance 1km away because they didn’t want > 400 wasted people roaming the affluent neighbourhood if shut down. Oh there were also nudists at the beach when we were ferrying in our gear at sunset who stayed for the whole thing and ended up on the dancefloor in their birthday suits at 2am.

You’ve just clarified a thought I hadn’t fully formed about NFTs (since I try my hardest not to think about them)… they could define a model whereby creators receive an ongoing cut from transfer of ownership. And this could be applicable in the broader sense you are talking about in your last paragraph, eg many copies (mp3 sales) or licensing (streaming services). Time could become an NFT, giving all the contributors to a film or workers at a company a share of profit. I mean that would be truly revolutionary.
