Kbin.social down again? Are people moving to mbin instances (kbin.run, fedia.io)?

    • What's the piece of technology that has impacted the modern world the most?

    Jump

  • My interpretation of impact includes both positive and negative sentiments.

    Whereas you are saying that a negative thing doesn't count as impact.

  • Yes.

  • Not that I don't disagree with you, but how did you come down to this conclusion?

  • You are making a red-herring argument.

    The post's question is: "What technology made the most impact in modern times?"

    A poster says "Chemical fertilizers" and detailed the reasons.

    And then you come in and say "NU-UH, IT DESTROYS THE PLANET!!!" an argument that has nothing to do with the question.

  • You can see this in the U.S. as well.

    In many parts of the world, though, I wouldn't say cars per se, but definitely public transportation. A lot of people can't afford cars in the world, and they still benefit from the invention of the internal combustion engine.

  • And your home feed would be a direct and unfiltered view of what all your friends posted

    And it was a feature added later when they wanted to compete with Twitter. Prior to that, no home feed. Just profile pages, a la MySpace. And it was glorious! It was so much fun to leave wall messages to friends, and see whatever others have posted in them too.

    When the newsfeed came about, I remember thinking "I don't like it. It's stupid!" mainly because I knew it was a reaction to Twitter. Of course, I got used to it eventually.

    But yup. Facebook back then was a neat tool. Not the cesspool that's been for the past 10 years.

    • What's an idea you have that should be an actual thing?

    Jump

  • Oh. Hehe.

    Sorry.

    It's hard to read people's intentions with just text sometimes.

    Jump

  • What the fuck are you on? This is not an Airbus engineering war room.

    The title of the post is "What's an idea you have that should be an actual thing?" not "What's an idea you have that should be an actual thing and it must realistically be made possible"?

    Lighten up.

    • What's an idea you have that should be an actual thing?

    Jump

  • Well, that's a different argument. The original argument was "permanent seat reclining" and you replied:

    Nope, the recline function make almost zero comfort change for the occupant, but for the person behind it has huge impact.

    You didn't mention cost until now.

    Jump

  • Why not make sure that both are comfortable? The issue is not the reclining seat. The issue is the space in between the seats. So, the issue is the airlines, not the passengers.

    • What's an idea you have that should be an actual thing?

    Jump

  • Comfort for both the reclinee and the person behind don't have to be mutually exclusive.

  • Quite pricey, though. And the maids are a bit clingy.

  • This is very specific to your industry. Community Colleges are great for a lot of people.

    What you're saying does not apply to Community Colleges only. It could apply to Universities with Computer Science departments. Granted, you'd learn more than 0 things in Universities; but for most of the stuff that's required in tech companies, yup, you could learn them for free online, given enough determination.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages is introducing big changes to combat because id Software came to one core realization: "Every projectile mattered in the original Doom"

    Jump

  • Oh, got it! Yup. In that context, that was quite the inaccurate sentence.
