Yeah! The wayfarer series is fabulous!

I took this exact route, I read murderbot diaries, then wayfarer, then l really struggled to find anything as good after that.

The single best hard scifi novel I've ever read was called "fallen dragon" by Peter F Hamilton. Without spoiling anything I'll just say this, I've never seen a book so perfectly snatch up all its loose ends and tie them in a neat bow. It's impressive.

If you're into space battles, there's the Lost Fleet series by Jack Campbell. And If you like the lost fleet, you'll probably also enjoy the Temeraire series (not scifi, but fun). It's literally Master and Commander with dragons, England vs France, trying to halt Napoleon's steady advance and defeat the dragons of Napoleon's formidable aerial core.

I'm pretty sure that's called facebook. Have you ever added suggested contacts?. "Here are some people you might know"

Is that so? Will the chatbots help me pack a van when I need to move? Will they stand next to me at my wedding? I'm thrilled to hear that bots can finally replace friends! (Something the people have been clamoring for)

He should forget about 4 year terms. He can be removed at any time.

Quickly now, make jellyfin better!

That's a pretty good theory.

Or perhaps it brought with it some intergalactic contaminant. Some ancient Eldritch intelligence that is poisoning all of society and feeding off of our misery.

It's just good to know there's a rational explanation, you know...

Who services the poop drones I ask you...

Some unlucky roboticist is stuck cleaning poop off treads, testing sensors and resoldering connections while wearing gloves and just hoping they don't tear...

We can start farming these computers to feed our ever growing population. We just need to build a simulation they can live in, so they don't get stale.

It's horrifying to see so many incidents of kidnapping in courtrooms. I can't imagine a more blatant and clear example of subversion of the legal judicial process.

There would be no reason to remove them from a courtroom if you believed the court would come to the same conclusions they have. So the logical explanation is that they know that what they're doing is illegal and that these people they're snatching haven't actually done anything wrong. It's shameful that we've allowed this to happen in our country and frankly, it's embarrassing that this is what the once great USA has stooped to.

Users don't need to interact with them, when a site adds the button to their page it allows that code to track you around the net. It's still generating revenue even if you never click on it.

Sites still add them because it makes them money at the expense of your privacy.

Yes well done, thanks for spreading the good news, I've been saved.

I mean, everything?

I take that back, my hand tools work great. Screwdrivers, chisels, clamps, five stars all around.

But everything else in my life, appliances, cars, government, communication, children, yeah they could probably all improve. And I'm happy to switch to a new system if something is clearly better. Brand loyalty is a scam, like patriotism.

Firefly. It could have gone for so many more seasons! The world still grieves...

Jesus Christ this community never fucking misses a chance change a discussion to Linux. It's tiresome.

And he was trained to do so.

Yeah, there was no training, they aren't trained to go into space. I don't see how astronaut could possibly be an appropriate title. They're payload mass in a sounding rocket.

If they're already doing that, sure. Though that is harder to cover the tracks of.

I mean, Bitcoin is an appropriate currency to use as a reserve, that's not misguided. The problem is that they can't be trusted with access to the funds.
