Some More News will do a livestream of the results. They are usually on point with their analysis and sources.

Because that’s a good canary to show the article wasn’t AI written?

This sounds like a BoJack Horseman bit

Apple is powered by the copium of their fanbase, so maybe the next model won’t even need a power cable.

Imagine a world where we had politicians who understood technology enough to put proper rules and requirements in place, so that big dumb companies would actually be forced to act ethically and sustainably…

You cannot honestly say the addictive pull of social media and games today is the same as it was back then. That’s like saying weed and heroin are equally addictive.

The phones weren’t designed to get you addicted to them back then. I am a teacher, and if I had to start every class by convincing all student who didn’t put their phones in the phone-locker to do it, then I would have no time left for teaching. I have pivoted to making classroom assignments that students have to complete using their phones instead, and it’s working wonders.

I feel you. Sorry you had to go through that experience.

Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. I am usually a huge SciFi fan, but I like the genre for it’s ability to reflect on humanity by extrapolating on current technologies/trends or comparing our culture to unique alien ones.

Revelation Space was technobabble and descriptions of weapons for pages upon pages, and it was totally devoid of any philosophy or reflection on humanity. I never DNF a book, but this one I almost gave up on.

Danish libraries provide an online streaming service, where you can watch 2-3 movies a month for free. It’s awesome! They even had Everything Everywhere All At Once before any other streaming service here.

Managers sign off on worse and more risky decisions all the time. They just know when to not leave a paper trail.

Crushes are non-consensual. Getting rejected is definitely the best, because that is the first step to getting over an unhealthy obsession.

My country is the opposite. It’s pretty much impossible to travel 150km and accumulate more than 8500 height meters. (highest point is 170 meters, and it’s a loooong walk to get there).

Everything by LeGuin is fantastic. The Dispossessed, The Left Hand of Darkness, The Fisherman of the Inland Sea. So many beautiful worlds and stories.

I wish more games came with couch co-op. It was a lot of fun in Halo and Diablo.

It is. But it’s also the basis for the political compass, and is taught in polsci all over the world

Look up The Minerva model

Mandated is the wrong word. “Required for absolutely everything” is more precise. In Denmark you need an app called “MitID” to do any kind of digital verification. You can’t do online purchases, banking or digital bureaucracy without it.

I hope I live to see the death of private banking. It’s insane how much of the fuckery in the world that originates in banking.
