Next thing they'll start rounding up people who wear glasses, like some African dictator a few decades ago.

Elon Musk reminds me of a demented Elon Musk. :)

After leaving him, she can just make money by having someone ghost-write a "My Life With an Orange" book for her and selling that.

Can humans even have a real communist society? I suspect it would take a species without any individual self-preservation instinct, or individual greed, so that each member can fully serve the collective.

And even that is debatable. Japanese surrender came shortly after a quick succession of several events - the first bomb at Hiroshima, Soviet Union declaring war and invading continental Japanese land, the second bomb at Nagasaki, allies completely obliterating Japanese navy, and preparing to invade their home islands, etc.

Many argue that Japan would surrender even without the two nuclear bombs.

Yep, most of my non-tech friends just say "Ads? Oh yeah, I don't even notice them anymore, I got so used to them." whenever that topic pops up in a conversation.

Enshittification actually does work, but only up to a point. Unfortunately, all the corporations have all the subtlety of a Sherman tank, so they always go all in on it.

There is nebula.tv which works like that, but it lacks content. I am a subscriber, but I'm running out of interesting content to watch there.

OBviously there is network effect in play here. If Youtube switched to subs-only model tomorrow, they would have much wider content offer from the get-go.

Sure you can - the response was "let it spread, it hits blue states more than red states".

I really don't know, it's just something that I scrolled past on social media, perhaps it was just a joke/troll post. I'm kind of sorry I even brought it up here.

EDIT: I think I'm remembering this https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/russian-conservative-village/, and the porn actress thing must have been some joke someone on the internet came up with to mock it.

 

Hi, I was looking at FrancisJohn's video on geothermal power (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyoLDP2tUaI), and tried the trick for building a "spike" deep down into lava (shown off at around 4:30 mark in the video).

However, my dupes do not seem able to build through the closed horizontal airlock. Has this trick been patched out?
