Hey it still works and does it's job it was designed to do. The problem with driving in a model T is that you can't easily get a mechanic, manufacturers support or spare parts if something breaks down or you want to like want to install a new modern sound system for example. Like with the floppy disk the real problem is that they can't upgrade it very easily and make compatible with the upgrades that is ten tech generation ahead of the existing systems, not that it's old per se.

It might have been selected just for reliability sake. That is how especially militaries usually want them. better to have a tested lesser product of the last gen, than to have the current gen wild card tech that may or may not have a intolerable amount of bugs and problems that could in a combat situation get the ship wrecked and the crew killed.

as always in government, you get the minimum that satisfies the contract.

This is true. That is what you get when you combine governments nearly unlimited budgets with private profit seeking and very little to no oversight. It's either audit the private contractor in everything all the time or have some state company or institution do the product or service for you.

Because reddit still has a huge userbase compared to Lemmy and that brings content, engagement and revenue, they are an institution of the internet at this point. Reddit posts are part of google results while Lemmy does not, when people have a problem they find old reddit threads for help, guides and tech support, not so with Lemmy. I would say 95% of reddit userbase doesn't even know that Lemmy exists. One fuck up will not kill reddit as it currently is, they are too massive, one fuck up might kill Lemmy, if it just doesn't slowly waste away. Reddit would have to fuck up constantly over a long period of time, kill communities, put features behind paywall, get caught in spying of the users, etc. And each time Lemmy would have to be advertizing itself in every twist and turn to get those users and not alienate them and be able to support the growing userbase and gain some benefit from them and them not just be a cost sink of lurkers.

Why does forbes care about Mobas dickfighting?

it's not like human brain memory or consciousness is that information dense. They just did that high of a definition of a scan.

Re-establishment of clans and tribes will soon become an economic necessity for the poor. Unions would of course be better, but I'm not holding my breath.

Cold war boomers trying to legislate tech they know nothing about

For german government "Never again" meant just never again genocide against jews. All other people are fine and free game.

Knowing intel and their recent performance gains it just needs a small nuclear reactor as a PSU and liquid oxygen cooling for light desktop use.

Yeah, this is basically why I'm not buying these arguments against a struggle of any kind, just because methods of it are illegal.

Illegality =/= your cause or methods are wrong

I guess it's just impossible to make these types of large media storage sites profitable. The business model itself is inherently unprofitable despite there being a need for these sites. Like youtube will never bring a cent back to google, but they keep running it because it locks people into their ecosystem for data harvesting.

Could also be that snap bought gfycat just to kill it.
