They already have chocolate 3D printers, and lab meat is almost or already at market somewhere and would also actually make someone money in our largely capitalist dominated world, so I’m gonna go with that.
I’m just thinking that having food safe printing stuff makes it slightly closer to reality than the other option, even if the medium would require reengineering some of the internal parts.
“What I’m about to tell you is top secret, a conspiracy bigger than all of us. There’s a powerful group of people out there that are secretly running the world. I’m talking about the guys no one knows about, the guys that are invisible. The top 1% of the top 1%, the guys that play God without permission.”
One thing about the Fediverse is its a little less “singular” so to speak. People spread out a little more, and you get fewer bigger places where a whole lot of people mingle.
The fascist kids and the tankie kids both have Instances of their own, fairly heavily defederated with a lot of the rest. They’re about as pleasant as you’d expect.
Implying you should have the courage to fight for what you believe is right but not hold onto them once you’re proven wrong.
I learned this as a company culture thing from one of my previous employers and not sure if there’s another source for it. I did not like that employer very much in the end but this quote has been stuck with me since and I live by it.
Also check out the book “seeing like a state” if you want a whole book version of that quote, including examples in forestry, city design and education.
Oh this is a great one. I was once in a job, where we were introduced to a new system that was designed to count successes. The problem was, that it was a job where we worked with people and everything we did couldn’t be quantified. The new system only put value on what could be counted so 80% of our work became invisible and “worthless”. Great times.
Milking the deaths of beloved celebrities for fake internet points and people destroying their “F” keys as though someone just died in a video game, like r🤮ddit did with Carrie Fisher, Technoblade, Shinzo Abe, the Queen of England…
games just don’t run as smooth and I can’t use gsync with how xorg works, also everything on windows just seems to work unlike Linux. although I’ve been running a Linux server for almost a year for myself and I’m now quite comfortable with the terminal
“Heroes are not giant statues framed against a red sky, they are people who say ‘This is my community and it’s my responsibility to make it better.’” Tom McCall - Oregon Governor 1967-1975.
“Psh, friends? Who needs them? They roll more off the line every day.”
Sounds super callous out of context, but the guy was incredibly friendly and kind. He had originally moved across the country to where his wife was living, and at this point they were going through a really bad divorce. I strongly suspect his local support network was entirely her friends, and they were turning their backs on him. I always took it as advice on being unafraid to remove the people who are dragging you down, and be confident that there are better ones out there.
