The latency is shit but the bandwidth is surprisingly good.

Pretty much everything we've expected has come to pass so far, only much faster than any of us could've foreseen. I would've expected them to "get along" for a year or so before calling it quits, but evidently they didn't even last that long.

Still hella amusing though.

There's always this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers

The internet isn't what turned everything to shit. That was capitalism. Technology of and by itself is never evil, but of course there's always tons of people ready to use it for evil purposes. Our current 'big bad' is still simply capitalism though.

Reminder that Dick fucking Cheney is still alive and kickin'.

He's probably not wrong. Probably.

Calling it now: before the end of this decade, doing anything (legit) online will require users to verify with a government-backed identity solution provider. Both in EU and US (and therefore de facto everywhere it matters).

Maybe then we'll finally get a cool separate web with hackers and neuromancers and whatnot. Probably not.

Me and like two or three other people ARE an entire niche on Lemmy. That's both the beauty and problem with it.

May a cure be in reach for all those struck by this horrible disease.

If she knows the backlash will be insane and she still has to live there, totally understandable. Make sure you're aligned on where to go with this in the future. If she truly wants to choose a life with you she may have to break with her family at some point. You can't expect her to be ready for that at this time, but you also shouldn't be strung along if she never sees an actual future with you. Good relationships require honesty on both sides and great communication.

Will happen to every new medium eventually. It's inevitable under capitalism.

So they essentially raided one of their subsidiaries?

There's another consideration: it has to be as cheap as possible to produce. And that explains the advent of reality TV.

Don't forget, there's also people deliberately poisoning ai. Truly doing God's work.

That might be a while. AI cannibalizing itself is a real problem right now and it's only going to get worse.

Unironically, cats have life figured out. When did you ever see a cat stress out over taxes or work?

These are Sola (15, Terra's sister & littermate) and Jove (10), all in good health. Didn't feel right posting the others without including these goobers.

And I'll be there every step of the way to enjoy his downfall. Petty? Sure, but so was killing ~150K people for nonexistant savings.
