  • ... if we could figure out scanning and printing at the atomic scale, with zero defects

    I think this is a bigger issue currently than sending large amounts of data across the globe. Though I wonder how much data a full copy would demand.

  • That's quite the question to ask, but as far I can tell it only works with quantum information. Sending a body would be like you trying to fit into a fiber cable to be bounced inside of beneath the Atlantic to avoid the otherwise long flight.

  • You should be spending very little time, if any, in that folder.

    I know what you mean, but man if this isn't the exact opposite of me. If the program doesn't store its config here I'm close to crusading.

    ~/.config really makes life a lot easier when backing up your dotfiles.

  • Private, I like sharing in a community. Particularly like the Nordic one I'm in, they make sure everything has nice subs. There's also a few quirky torrents on there, like a collection of very old and niche Swedish PC games, many of which I remember fondly from when I was young.

  • I'm not even talking about ditching Office 365, I'm talking about ditching Chrome, for Firefox, where O365 works just as well. I don't even mind O365 in corporate environments. It simplifies things. I do mind it for my personal stuff though.

    There's very little friction for a non tech-savvy person to ditch Chrome for Firefox as long as you help them transfer their passwords and bookmarks. The biggest complaint will be "it looks different", which sure can be a no go. There should be even less friction for a tech-savvy person.

  • I'm just tired of these excuses. Either you take a stand and do the bare minimum to keep the freaking free web alive or you go down with excuses of superior tech. I don't know shit about modern web tech, thank fucking God, because no one can tell me it hasn't gone straight downhill last ten years with a straight face. There may be cool tech demos in a few places, but that's it about it. It's just gotten bloated.

  • Just because I were curious enough to check this out, from Wikipedia:

    Worldcoin aims to provide a reliable way to authenticate humans online, to counter bots and fake virtual identities facilitated by artificial intelligence. Using a distribution mechanism for its cryptocurrency similar to UBI, Worldcoin attempts to incentivize users to join its network by getting their iris scanned using Worldcoin's orb-shaped iris scanner.

  • This wasn't what you asked for, but I have to add it in here: I switched to YouTube music because I was told the shuffle actually was random there. From my experience the past couple of months it seems to be the case, at the very least it's better. But discovering new music (without putting in much effort) has been harder. Their playlist sorting is non-existent (you're stuck with alphabetic order, no folders). And for some idiotic reason the playlists are shared with YouTube... Everything with it, except for its working shuffle, is horrendous.

    How the fuck can Spotify just not have a true fucking random shuffle, it's so annoying! It does everything else fairly well, but I'm not switching back to starting a playlist of 8+ hrs and getting a recognizable pattern depending on what I skip and don't. Or whatever goddamn algorithm they think is better than /dev/urandom.

    This gave me hope for a while, but I've now given up: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/All-Platforms-Option-to-have-a-true-shuffle/idi-p/4880594/page/103#comments
