My smile. Time to make the world a better place.

But what if they’re actually a kid?

But the terminal is scary…😭

This is an important comment

Ok. Now where is my fucking chrome and cyberdeck? I feel cheated cause we got all the dystopian shit but not the cool shit

Yeah. I’m not buying another train from them ever again

I took their online test out of curiosity and it said I was qualified to join. It was interesting to figure out the mechanism of it though.

From what I gathered, it seems what they’re really measuring is your capacity for pattern recognition and association or something along those lines.

My bad, a Farady Shield works just as well and it doesn’t need holes. But I was thinking about ways to combat this while posting and a solution involving conductive fabric was going through my head during that moment.

First of all: cardboard does NOT block electromagnetic waves. You need a Faraday Cage for that. And even then, it has to have holes of a certain size to block specific wavelengths/frequencies. It’s why you have a mesh on the door of your microwave for example.

Secondly: they’re not attempting to photograph you. Just identifying your unique signature once would allow them to track your location anywhere where they have the gear installed.

Wait… so the guys with tinfoil hats were on to something?

Reality is subjective.

I haven’t had fun reading a comment thread like this in a while. Thanks guys, this is pure gold.

Edit: it’s just a tribute

It’s a work in progress. We’re getting there

And yet they all have a package manager of some kind to install packages from. It doesn’t have to be Flatpak specifically

You don’t need to be “techie” to install stuff from a package manager with a GUI. People use app stores on every mobile device out there and they don’t have any problems with that

While I agree with most of what you said, typical users won’t run into these issues unless they’re doing something more technical (e.g installing blender or something), in which case they can ask for help.

Can 800 year old grandma Doris use the feature? Can the average person who writes comments on YouTube videos? Minion meme posting facebook aunts? If not, it’s not ready for mainstream.

I don’t think these people can install Windows or are pros at using it either, and in which case it’s the responsibility of whoever installed the OS to guide them through it a little like I did with my parents (they’re in their 80s and they’ve been using Linux for the past five years just fine), and I imagine those kind of people to only care about browsing the web and maybe viewing a PDF every once in a while.
