Why do you prefer it?

I was thinking more about the villains of The Net.

Amazing. I’m not willing to exercise the permanent sacrifices that having kids entails.

Pretorians.

Stranger has a point where you can feel in your body the whiplash of the change in tone. After the middle point Heinlein was blocked for years, and when he continued the result was grotesque.

When you start reading dialog about what happens in Heaven, when the story started as proper sf, you know that the author lost the plot (literally and figuratively).

Solid choices.

Your “best of sf” doesn’t include many recognized classics. That’s weird. No LeGuin, no Bester?

Well, when I’m not wanted I tend to burn bridges.

Does Hynek’s article convince you?

Are you referring to https://hynek.me/articles/docker-virtualenv/ ?

So you advocate for the abolition of money also?

I thought the idea was that the answers were to be provided by others. After all, the community is called AskLemmy, not Soapbox.

Like banks and insurance companies?

I think all the Rust devs should remove their code and leave. And when in the future the Linux devs change their tune and ask for their help, they should refuse.

I love that Theora is called that after the controller in Max Headroom played by Amanda Pays.

Something like this would cause me a deep depression in month.

That current “AI” is not turning into Skynet any time soon.

I’m feeling the pressure of finding my significant other because I’m at an age where it seems like everyone in my social media feed is getting engaged, married, or having kids.

It would be good to understand why do you think it’s important for you what other people do in their lives.

I think that’s mainly in the US, though. For the rest of the world the price tag is too high and the iPhone is the mark of the pretentious or the hipster. Or the iOS developer 😄

The rest of us are happy with our Android phones.

Seconded.
