you ever see a gonk droid walk? that's why we have toes

this is painful because i have such a huge soft spot for ada

hi not too bad

honestly as someone who spent a couple years with IBS-like symptoms i think you could be onto something with this

I see it as a resource allocation problem that is caused by a motive for profit rather than a motive to make things that address needs of the people as a whole. A lot of software intended for really good and helpful purpose just gets completely ignored or is total garbage.

There are probably applications in computing for making our industries and infrastructure more efficient and safer that we can't even dream of. For example, I used to work for a company that built software used to simulate municipal water networks to do things such as track leaks, minimize water waste, and ensure efficient temperature management. The company was about 10 people large but the software serviced hundreds of cities, many in arid or desert regions of the world, where water conservation is paramount.

Unfortunately, the software was extremely buggy, as cities just don't have the money to compete with the amazons and googles of the world. Sometimes I wonder how amazing we could have made those tools if we had 25, or hell, 100 people.

No, I don't think we've taken computers too far. I think we've been coerced to attend to diversions that largely benefit those with access to the levers of power. I think in a liberated society we could take the wealth of talent and science we have and use it to solve actual problems.

the advent of the "hey sign up" "here's a support chat box" "how are you enjoying the site?" lightboxes and overlays herald the doom of the web

i'll be sad though

(that was a joke)

if i found out anyone has actually done this they will be banned

i no longer wish to be on a corporate owned social network

i don't know why but yeah this sounds totally right

well i mean i never changed it and i’m the only one who can put things up on the server so i dunno lol

same, sorry 1vs

i hear the new halo is pretty fun

forbidden knowledge

i would almost say this is true, but for the fact that it seems plural words are not chosen very frequently

i wonder if those halberd dudes are trained to use them

probably an optimal choice unless you're going for a shot-in-the-dark 1/6

i mean that’s a pretty good choice considering e n and s are some of the most common letters

Foxhole is a blast but yeah logi needs some improvements, but I still love it. You're constantly a hero when you do supply deliveries lol. Can't believe the author of the article is encouraging crossing picket lines though.

oh noooooooo bursts into flames

this is a perfect encapsulation of mine and i'm sure many others' feelings

e-notary services do this already without a blockchain and i'd trust a notary as a source of proof more than anything blockchain related

notarization at its core is a government endorsed person called a notary says "yes this document is official and i've seen it." why does a timestamp matter?

we already have a system for notarizing things it's called electronic notarization
