DSi costs half of what Vita does and runs GBA games natively. What is the benefit of going with Sony for this purpose?

There’s plethora of content on X like politicians, celebrities, media workers, quips, commentary on quips and commentary on commentary. They’re there because for those who made it that means money and influence. People enable it because they confuse politics with entertainment.

They’re trying to put a price tag on ability to influence societies. It does have value but I’m pretty sure everyone is guesstimating.

But if you won’t quantify value of laughter then how will you know how much to charge for it?

a very sad /s

If it’s anything like Analogue Pocket then the contact points will need to be in pristine condition. Blowing on them might not do the trick but isopropyl swab should.

I’ve never heard of flywheel energy storage before. This is so cool, thanks!

This is a work of art.

I have no idea how the Chinese grid holds up but it wouldn’t surprise me if they did well because they’re not allergic to central planning.

The sole fact that people looking for long term relationships resort to Tinder is an example of how underserved that market is, and that’s because there’s too little money to make there. It’s more profitable to string people along with subscriptions and buy competition just to turn them into more Tinder clones.

People still make families even if they don’t have children anymore. People are also more likely to have kids when their life is safe and stable and having a partner definitely helps.

I know this is my most crackpot take and I usually ease people into the concept by listing increasingly novel business types that need to be nationalised :P

I’m putting this in the air so that people can start thinking about what a modern services could be provided by a healthy social democratic system. If I can convince capitalists that nationalising card processing is beneficial to everyone then one day I’ll convince y’all Valve needs to be converted into a non-profit.

I wouldn’t give my data to a neoliberal government because that’s not that much different from giving it to Google but maybe one day, once the dust settles. I don’t want to live in this much anxiety and it seems to be an issue for you too.

You’re treating your government like it’s your enemy. If that’s the case then you should obviously focus on fixing whatever caused this. It’s worth it because when that’s done we can have governments providing public services again.

Mine was 2018 and I’m still with that girl I met on Tinder. Most of my age group met their partners there but there’s also no denying those apps are losing relevance. They worked for a time (although they always sucked for men), that is until inevitable enshittification.

I hope someone archived it before they enabled paywall. Oh wait (please see post text body ;))

But they do sit on that database of sexual preferences already because they run the registry office. I want the state to know my blood type and other details because state is supposed to provide basic public services and infrastructure. But yeah, if your government is no longer accountable then that’s the priority always.

I agree in regards to priority obviously but imagine that you have a dating app that doesn’t exist to extract every last cent out of you and is ran by people who are graded by amount of successful matches. There’s a huge crisis of solitude among younger people and technology is not the only reason for it. It can help a bit though.

Taxes keep schools and hospitals running and unless special tax is applied to fortune tellers I don’t see anything wrong with taxing them same way as everyone else.

My now long standing belief is that dating apps should be nationalised. It makes so much sense from the point of running a state that it’s hard to argue against. Give people free Tinder and get free votes lol.

I didn’t mean Nebula would be the answer but many Nebulas that would do better or worse based on their own decisions rather than everyone being beholden to a single corporate overlord.

I tried it some time ago. No algorithm behind it so if someone wasn’t already watching random Wikipedia pages this won’t make them do it.
