We can start farming these computers to feed our ever growing population. We just need to build a simulation they can live in, so they don’t get stale.

Users don’t need to interact with them, when a site adds the button to their page it allows that code to track you around the net. It’s still generating revenue even if you never click on it.

Sites still add them because it makes them money at the expense of your privacy.

Yes well done, thanks for spreading the good news, I’ve been saved.

I mean, everything?

I take that back, my hand tools work great. Screwdrivers, chisels, clamps, five stars all around.

But everything else in my life, appliances, cars, government, communication, children, yeah they could probably all improve. And I’m happy to switch to a new system if something is clearly better. Brand loyalty is a scam, like patriotism.

Firefly. It could have gone for so many more seasons! The world still grieves…

Jesus Christ this community never fucking misses a chance change a discussion to Linux. It’s tiresome.

Alright, that’s a good use case, I like that.

I’m not saying both aren’t possible. And I’m not saying both don’t apply here.

But in general, if you make it a practice to remember Hanlon’s razor, you will be both correct more often and generally happier. I’m just suggesting, do it for your own sake. Assume the best of intentions in people, because usually people do mean well. And also expect them to let you down by making genuinely stupid choices, because then you won’t be surprised when they do.

If I were to read a book on my computer, I would use one screen. That’s kinda my point. A second monitor does nothing for me in that scenario.

But it folds like a book, and i see it being held like a book. If that means text populates in two columns like a book, and you read one column at a time, I really don’t see the point of the second side. You can just turn the page.

You know, chalk… markers…

Actually, we use quills a surprising amount of the time!

So you think the main difference between Elon and other rich people is that other rich people keep a low profile?

So does that mean you think that other ultra wealthy people are just as influential (and damaging to the world) as Elon? Because I don’t doubt that the ultra wealthy are problematic in general, but I think Elon is worse, like in a big way. And he’s been changing a lot in the world for the last 20 years, like a lot more than literally anyone I can think of.

That’s true, but there are a lot of those people in the world, tens of thousands. Where are all of them in the news? He seems different in some way, right? Do you even know the name of the CEO of Hasbro or Ford or CocaCola? I bet they’re rich, I bet they grew up rich…

Yeah, OLED isn’t really the best choice for an e-reader.

There’s a reason e-ink is a thing.

Second question, if you’re going to read from one screen at a time, why have two screens?

Oh man we certainly do struggle. It’s like all the tools they make for actually doing theoretical psycho-ornithology are right handed! You know what I mean?

Hah, I’m not convinced that interpretation is wrong. It’s weird how influential he’s been on the world, right?

I mean if this is that sort of simulation, he’d probably be a player right? I know that as I get to the end of games, I get all the currency I’ll ever need, I have all the best items, and the whole game becomes easy, that’s about when I start becoming an asshole, testing the boundaries. Like “can I just kill this character? I’m gonna shoot them, just to see what happens. lol, the guards didn’t like that much, look at em running around… I’ll shoot them too”.

I think that’s where Elon is right now, just being an enormous asshole just to see what happens. That’s some gamer ass behavior right there!

Sure, but if you apply hanlon’s razor whenever it’s applicable, you’re right more often.

“never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

Heh, well some of those are most definitely of higher quality, but you mostly see that difference in throughput and seek times. But the underlying storage mechanism is the same, so yeah, this aspect is probably universal.

Absolutely. Sata SSD, m.2/nvme, USB thumb drives, it’s all just different form factors for nand flash memory.
