More technological stratification = more divide between the haves and the have nots. This applies both between nations but also between the various socioeconomic classes within nations. IOW, the rich will continue to get richer at the expense of everyone else.

There was a recent update for Fallout 4 which broke a bunch of mods. Fallout 4 was released in 2015 and is a single-player game. Why did it get an update?

I think they are saying to just not connect whatever. E.g. buy the smart TV and don’t connect it to the internet.

I always liked the concept of Matrix, and still actively use it, but there’s some serious jank.
I use Element as well as Beeper, which is at its core an Element client based on network bridging. I’m a big fan of Matrix, but it isn’t as approachable as other messaging services and requires some technical know-how to use effectively.
It seems like the Linux of messaging services.

- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 3 weeks ago:
They tried to claim they weren’t responsible for the Ai.
Why wouldn’t they be? They made the decision to use (and continue using) AI.
If someone gets drunk, they can’t turn around and say “it was the alcohol’s fault, not mine.”
My first question is rhetorical. I know the answer is: corporations, lobbying, and money.

I minimize air travel to the extent possible. Unfortunately I have non-local family so unless I choose to just not see them my choices are a bit limited.
But yeah, I don’t fly for tourism or leisure.

Sure, the algo did it. But someone chose to use it and continue using it.

- Comment on Evading suffering is _itself_ a form of suffering 3 weeks ago:
This could probably be thought of as “fear and anxiety are forms of suffering.” Though it might be a bit more nuanced than that.

I thought this has already been done. Guess there’s some nuance to it that is above my understanding of it.
Anyhow, advancements in solar are cool in my book.
