It was probably defederated from every other instance

I wonder if all recent outages aren’t just crappy AI coding

ps: Have no doubt, every claim Google makes about restricting stuff for your own good is just them lying out of their asses.

So I guess more free open source projects won’t be able to be maintained by overworked volunteers, and they’ll get “rescued” by trillion-dollar corporations that will close-source everything, backdoor the shit out of it, and decide what you can and cannot have.

Google is trying to kill Android and take control of it, I wonder if such acts aren’t part of the same agenda.

My country has a huge piracy tradition, we have counterfeit of everything and no one gives a fuck. I have this satellite decoder that let me watch any satellite-broadcasted channel in the world, and the guys who made those are so awesome that they also offer a streaming service they upload everything from all major streaming services, and it’s completely free, no subscription, you just buy their device and you have access to their private streaming

Do they work offline or are they just small data broker agents?

Streaming services subscription.

I only recognize Harry Potter there

The second rule is live, laugh, love

What’s redditism? - I really don’t know, I only ever participated in a few subs about specific software.

The map of space debris looks scary because each is displayed as the size of a country, while all together they would fit inside a single stadium.

That’s exactly what the shadow government ruler would like you to believe.

The other day I saw one of those “to know who rules you, just look at who you can’t criticize” quotes, so I reached the conclusion that the person running the shadow government is Charlie Kirk.

Right now Japan is finding easier to have outsourced people operating robots in convenience stores than hiring some local… like, when you add the cost of the robot, its maintenance, and you still have to pay someone to operate it… I also don’t know why.

Well, in 2022 Qtar spent $220b to have some football matches in the desert… and didn’t the cost of launching stuff on orbit substantially decreased in the last decade? Again, give a few decades, technology makes everything easier. If you were making that same math just ten years ago, your 10x cheaper would be higher than your current estimate.

I don’t have the technical knowledge to join the discussion, but wasn’t every technology we have today considered sci-fi at some point?

Is a huge heat shield with some aerogel or something behind it to contain the heat that couldn’t be turned into energy, and then a cord to transport the energy to the aerogel-coated equipment hundreds of meters away, really so unfeasible, as better aerogel and heat-to-energy conversion technology seem to be here?

Your second link seems to be about space travel. I’m just talking about having data centers orbiting Earth, like the thousands of satellites already do.
I will bet money that at some point someone argued that communications going through satellites in space would be unpractical because of engineering and technological challenges, the stupendous cost of getting stuff up there, and monumental maintenance costs compared to just having some lines going through some street poles.

Every few decades technology severely affects the cost of everything.

edit: To people downvoting me, in the last decade the cost of sending stuff to space went from up to $20k/kg to $1.5k/kg. I don’t know how much photovoltaic technology developed in the meantime, I got my panels about ten years ago, and back then the cost and maintenance of batteries were absurdly high, but today we have better, more efficient, and way more affordable batteries.
Yes, every few decades technology severely affects the cost of everything. That’s a fact. Deal with it.

You make a sun shield to block the scorching temperature of direct sun exposure, which will generate energy and keep the equipment in the chilling cold shade… although a huge investment, in the long run, it’s more practical than keeping them on land.

Warning (2021) is a sci-fi anthology and some of the concepts are very interesting. One of the stories is about an Alexa-like AI the Church created as a god people can talk to.

When it goes offline, people get kinda lost…
