i’m 35, took AP us history in high school in california, and i’m pretty sure i’d never heard of the scopes trial before just now. It seems like a somewhat esoteric thing to teach about to me? idk why he would be expected to know about it.

people that wax nostalgic for the 1950s are either:
A) folks who only see how advantageous it was for a white middle class cis straight man with a GI Bill, and just forget and ignore the rest of the reality of the era, or
B) folks that actively want to roll back civil rights for minorities, and would probably prefer the 1850s, if only they had pickup trucks back then.

i believe its shorthand for ‘communities’

i’m using thunder. it’s a fairly old version as well, but it works.

clearly he got squashed by a giant anvil, looney tunes style

slop was a thing way before LLMs

i mean, can you get where you want to go, and back, by transit? if so it’s kilometers better than most american transit.

eta: wait, you’re talking rail specifically? then if you have any passenger rail, that’s already way better than most american cities.

possibly your client gets confused because its a mastodon, not lemmy, account? i was able to look him up just fine on his instance (but i wish i hadn’t).

i completely agree, though i hope that eventually we can settle on something like Cerabyte for long term archival storage.

my answer varies quite a bit depending on whether we mean tech that will be relegated to specific niche use cases and markets, tech that will no longer be produced at all, or tech that can’t be found any more, even used.

the first category could include a lot of things, like most of the other suggestions that have already been suggested here, but i don’t think there’s any chance of blu-ray discs or desktop computers being totally gone in that time frame. the second category will probably include small gasoline powered cars, at least in some countries. and the third category will probably include most standard incandescent or CFL light bulbs, but they might still exist in some niche applications.

thank you. until i got to your comment, i had no idea what was meant by ‘filters’

if i’m cooking it over a fire, cheap yellow mustard and orange sauce is my go to. if i’m frying it in a pan, i also like to add some peanut butter to the pan so it cooks up with the grease, and turns into a delicious peanut-y third sauce. a little bit of bacon bits can never go wrong too if it’s available.

counterpoint: santa claus

this one seems pretty decent and has a similarly sparse blocklist

out of curiosity, which parallel reality are you posting this from?

the idea that national borders would still exist, let alone be so unchanged, after such a world changing impact, is laughable.

i’ve done it before. it is in fact quite dope.

what are you, a cop?

i reckon we won’t have a solid consensus about when we first had AGI until at least a decade after it happens. maybe we already do (though i doubt it). How it shakes out on a societal level is hard to say, but so long as the utility functions are being written, explicitly or implicitly, by capitalists, i don’t think it’ll go well.
