If you haven’t watched Extrapolations on Apple TV, you should. It combines the existential dread of climate change with the upbeat and witty story tension of Chernobyl.
Seriously though, it’s a good show but maybe don’t drink while watching?
These are probably the first times in his entire life that consequences have been progressive, swift, and clear. Every good parent knows how this works. Too bad he comes from a family of malignant narcissists. Emotionally, this man is a toddler.
I don’t think Twitter and Reddit are going to die quickly. They have user bases that they can monetize and bots to flood content. They were shitty enough that enough of left and gave a nice boost to federated platforms. That boost will grow every time those legacy platforms alienate their users by treating them badly. Like windows and Linux.
There will always be some abuse of services. It just turns out to be negligible most of the time. The benefits will far outweigh the losses.
Also - people shop for services all the time. If they want to move to a province that has better benefits, that would be normal and smart. If the program ends up being mostly federal, this won’t be as much of an issue as things will be more standardized, though.
A lot of the reason I liked Jodie Whitaker’s Doctor so much was because she channeled tennant so well in her own way. She was let down by poor writing and over used tropes though. I’m really excited to see the series in a fresh light.
The unintended consequence of repeated attacks on net neutrality is that so many more people understand what net neutrality is and won’t fall for this bs.
I love BG3, but agree that it deserves some criticism for act 3 bugginess. Just remember Bethesda basically forced them to release a month early when they announced starfield was coming out on the same weekend.
Teacher of 20+ years checking in. Schools only continue in their current state because of the hard work and good will of education workers. It’s not an endless resource though. If governments keep ignoring problems in schools, they will collapse as people can’t afford to work there anymore because of the financial or mental health costs.
The pendulum is swinging back towards the monopoly model that destroyed cable. Time to dust off the old Jolly Roger and teach streaming an old lesson of what happens when you price gouge people.
Gaben is one of the few people in tech I trust to resist the money MSFT would be willing to throw at something as successful as valve. I mean - they’re the closest thing to a trustworthy company as you can find these days.
None of the donor class want prices to come down. They won’t be able to price gouge as landlords and the middle class will run out of credit to buy their products.
Larian out there reminding people that great game companies win awards not lawsuits.
