I didn’t even know that. Thanks for the info. But I guess an adapter is cheap. A phone on the other hand not.

Get an USB-c to aux adapter for phones without aux connector.

Basically. It’s a complicated economy issue. But lets say there’s not just monetary debt, but also structural debt. Our infrastructure is old, a lot has to be repaired by making debts. But they refuse to, thing is, the bridges will collapse at some point, literally, if you don’t build new ones. This will all come back to hunt our economy as no train will deliver, no truck will be able to use the highway as a lot of bridges are broken. Same with schools, you get less educated people, which then on average produce less wealth. In short term you save money, in the long term the world will move on without you. Every economist knows, a little debt is perfect as it works in sync with the capitalism we all live in. However the payment for the dept shouldn’t outgrow the economy, that’s the only rule. Making no new debts sounds good on paper, but no young person will say “thank you” when they grew up with bad education, a broken economy and an inhabitable planet. Now is the best time to make debts to fix big issues.

Thanks to not making any debts. It’s all the infrastructure, I don’t think a single one isn’t about to break down.

Some people love compost, it’s already half digested.

A sad and dark day.

A very positive but also very scary article. Less war is good, but non democratic countries can still force people to fight, while democratic can’t as much, causing a power imbalance.

It’s just an Interstellar 2 ad

I just switched to Firefox to get away from Browser who prevent me from using an adblocker extension. sigh

After Endgame I think only the spider-man one’s are okay. I stopped watching the rest because I’m pretty fed up with the MCU and going by all their business decisions lately I highly doubt I’d like any of the new content.

I want more movies like Logan, hyper realistic down to earth heroes. Let Denis Villeneuve direct one.

Even embedded ads will always be detectable because they always stick out. Be it audio, video, frame timing or the simple fact that an ad is always the same. They’d need to random generate dynamic AI ads and I don’t think we’re there yet, nor would most companies accept the possible public outrage when the AI content has a glitch or a different dynamic than what the marketing had in mind.

I never believed it because progress wouldn’t be that fast and someone certainly would’ve started to blame a company or organization for delivering all the hardware and installing the infrastructure. Which then would be illogical because how would tribal people pay for this? I think even in the poorest countries of the world, internet doesn’t magically drop out of the sky for no money.

Not to forget, how we now “only” work 40h (for most people), but productivity went up and a lot of down times and social interaction in the past, were replaced by workload grind in a now stressful office environments.

Because it’s easier to put someone in a suite than teach them years of experience of drilling. You might remember that even the experianced driller had trouble. They also send astronauts with them as well to do the astronaut things, not just the driller crew.

The smashing into things thing and still taking off…well the movie was supposed to have a happy end for the remaining crew. It would’ve still been a happy end to have them die, but this way you get a lovely reunion with the families.

I don’t know you, but if you go by questioning plot-armor, you’ll have a really hard time to find something to watch.

We don’t know how much of that was for the multiplayer. I’m probably wrong though, and that’s not a bad thing.

I use RedReader on Android, no VPN or extra script required. On desktop I have yet to see a login wall.

I don’t care about the hype. I won’t get myself hyped either. I already didn’t like the trailer graphics, which looked kind of cartoonish. The gameplay will show, but they got so many billions from the online mode, that I’m not sure if they even bother delivering a good long singleplayer and not just focus mostly on the online play. I only care about the single player, where I’m not harassed by cheaters and shop popups, begging and nagging me to buy worthless online money.

Now they probably will provide a single player, maybe even a great one, as RDR2 has shown they are still capable after all. I will probably try the online mode but the last GTA was loading simulator and cheater party. And when I looked how grindy it is to get anything I stopped right away.

to believe it to be fact

Where does this part come from? Or do you talk about self proclaimed empaths?

Alternative messenger exist, I should’ve been more precise. At this point an alternative would require at least the same features than discord, to get people away from it. I don’t see that happen.
