Don't talk about it! That's how you summon them!

The problem is that the sexually charged furries have trouble understanding and respecting other's boundaries. This is an even larger problem when you're dealing with a community that tends to appeal to younger people. It doesn't help that there have been several very public cases of well known furries being engaged in things so horrible I'm not even comfortable mentioning it here (hint: age and/or species and/or aliveness).

And we're still waiting for a definite announcement that yes, humanity has finally produced room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductors.

Exciting news for sure, but as usual it's not quite there yet.

Well, it's true there are people who would call me unreasonable.

First link seems fine. Here's the second one.

If it can be done, people will do it. If you think the FBI are unique in this, you're very naive. We need to fundamentally rethink how our technology is designed if we ever hope to have any privacy again.

Or maybe people will eventually be fed up and we’ll start our own internet completely out of corporate control.

Or just return to the land, because it's still right there. Would also help to do for climate change what corporations seem unwilling to do themselves.

The problem is what people are trying to do with the Internet. It was never going to be capable of replacing every facet of society the way these corporations seem to have envisioned things. To paraphrase Serial Experiments Lain: The wired should support the real world, not replace it.

Well they don't care about problems until they affect their own families, so there's that at least.

Not sure if it's related to the upgrade, but I'm finding the context button doesn't work for a lot of posts now. Instead it just links to that post specifically, and clicking "show context" also only links back to the same post.
