ok, let's see it in a real-world production environment. What works in the lab doesn't always scale to the factory floor.
It's not an uninteresting thing (it's very interesting, from a purely technical POV) but it reads like so many "groundbreaking" press releases that never materialize
I agree with your sentiment, but declaring that a company shouldn't be free to decide who they can and can't do business with isn't the solution to this problem and I am no friend of the business world.
It seems fine now when it's something you don't like but what happens when it's a situation that isn't so agreeable? like being legally oblidged to do business with South Africa during apartheid or working with a chocolate company that (allegedly) used child slave labor to farm it's cocoa??
any method of evading the ever-increasing centralization and regulation of society will inevitably be destroyed. efficient policing demands these obstacles be removed.
GTA, Elder Scrolls and Fallout series all allow for violence against women and not just the mutual violence of combat or whatever. One small example in one game from a long-ass time ago isn't really a broader trend (not to say that society at large doesn't view violence against men and women differently in different contexts)
the userbase for gemini is so miniscule, I can't imagine they could get enough data to want to even bother. Bit like trophy fishing in the puddle of rain runoff next to the stocked pond of monster bass.
There are far more gopher phlogs than gemini gemlogs.
Still, both communities overlap of course.
Setting up a gopher phlog requires no TLS at all and any machine from 1980 (even maybe ITS
with a Gopher client written in MacLisp) will be able to read it with no issues.
that's another large chunk of gemini; rehosted gopherholes. Which is silly unless the originals aren't accessible anymore since gopher is already a minimalist protocol
They render better on Smartphones. Lagrange and such do a good job but is not perfect.
Oddly, the best client for Android (albeit clunky) has been Emacs+Elpher as it has the perfect options for word wrapping.
Altough as most Gopher sites are hosted under Unix, running fmt/fold/par on files is a non-issue modulo ASCII ART and inline code with hard requeriments on indentation (TCL for instance on code blocks) or Python.
> think any attempt at commentary right now would end up eerily reminiscent of modern life.
The genre was always an extrapolation of contemporary society as the authors saw it. You could absolutely do that today, with appropriately updated technical speculations, but without the signifiers of the petrified genre of Cyberpunk that we are all familiar with in 2025, folks might not recognize it as such. Doesn't mean it's not engaging in the same milieu
there's still regular ol classism, too, racism is just part of the calculus. Poor white folks don't have it good, they just have it less bad than poor not-white folks
Some bits here and there. That faded as the US became a super power, and came back a bit as the 80's started stripping down the middle class thst was growing.
Of course, but the 2010's it was decided by the powers that he to re-introduce identity politics as the new form of class warfare. Which was 80% sexism/racism and 20% classisn.
In America maybe, in south africa it's quite the opposite considering the government provides a lot more support for poor non-white folks than for white folks (specifically based om race)
Yes, a bastion of pro-black racism, post-apartheid South Africa.
All those white folks fleeing the country looking like the fucking Monopoly Man with their bags of money were doing it because of... anti-white racism.
I concede that I don't work in industry so maybe I'm just dumb and this is actually really useful but this seems like the exact opposite of what I would want out of my computer about 99.98% of the time.
This would certainly explain why I've found using search engines over the past decade or so to be extremely frustrating and intuitive but, again, I am a self-admitted doodoodumdum so maybe I just don't know what I'm doing
This seems like the very thing that AI advocates would want to avoid. It certainly doesn't fill me, as an outsider to the whole thing, with much confidence for the future of AI-generated content but maybe I'm not the target sucker....err, I mean target demographic
