It's such a well-done implementation of the game. Beautiful website.

Firewalls and NAT suck. Users have to go through strange procedures in their router's unpolished, bespoke interface just to be able to run a server. Imagine having a phone that can make calls but not receive them. The internet is broken.
Build your home as a Faraday cage. They can't bypass physics.
P.S. Holy crap. The guy on the radio is on lemmy?
The part of the tech stack that handles all these command editing and navigation shortcuts is the readline library. Check out man readline. There's an entire section on searching. readline is used for lots of other interpreters, too.
Little did anybody know that Rube was actually a dog in a human body.
They're not competing with you or me in the conspicuous consumption game. They're competing with all the other rich people.
You won’t find him on any social network
I seem to recall he is or was on one of the fediverse platforms. Am I misremembering?
I swear bro, just let me add one more gigabyte. I swear, we're gonna get to AGI. Just add one more gigabyte. Just let me add one more gigabyte. Just let me add one more gigabyte. I swear. I swear. I swear. I swear, we're gonna get to AGI. Just one more gigabyte and just make it bigger. Just make it bigger. We're gonna get to AGI. We'll get there. We'll get there. We'll get there. Just make the model bigger. I swear.
The CEO of Socket is this guy. I'm not sure that someone with those credentials would be heading a company engaged in what basically amounts to racketeering. Though, I suppose he might be unaware it's happening. The company has many investors, any of who would benefit from creating an environment that supports the company's existence without the awareness of any of the employees. But it's clear this isn't some scam operation run by desperate people out of India, which was my first thought from reading your comment. There are reputable people with their reputations at stake. It would be a Theranos-level scandal if what you say was actually determined to be occurring. So, on the one hand, there are reputations at stake, and, on the other hand, Silicon Valley is not incapable of committing fraud.
1980s: You have to walk to the arcade, you have to stand to play, and you are charged for every minute of play time.
1990s: Computer technology has improved to the point that anyone can have the arcade in their home, you sit to play, and you are charged once for the game and can play for as long as you want.
2010s and onward: Home internet connections are now ubiquitous, enabling instant digital money transactions from anywhere, so the games industry can now nickel and dime you for everything. Video games are casinos. The coin machines are back.
There's a golden age of gaming starting with the introduction of home consoles and ending when they started needing an internet connection.
