It's really rather remarkable that when I was a Christian, I thought Richard Dawkins was a bit of an idiot, and now that I'm not a Christian I…still think that Richard Dawkins is a bit of an idiot.
also this is making me guffaw repeatedly 😆

It’s wild to me that some bay area drivers are shocked and angry that they get parking tickets when.. they don’t pay the parking meter fee.
Same people who think anyone who doesn’t pay the bus fare is a criminal, probably.

@adamgreenfield happy May Day ❤️🔥
The myth of “AI” is that you can use it to offload lower function mental activity in order to free up higher function. But this assumes that that higher function of thought can operate without the lower to support it, which is in pretty much direct contradiction of all philosophy of mind.
That's a good question. I've been a proponent of a "Universal Livable Income" in order to really decouple the need for working-for-income with basic survival. But that's more difficult to defend against the "causes inflation", "no-one will ever work", and "where will the money come from" crowds. Not to mention the "they don't deserve it" crowd.
I feel like there are some nuances between "Universal Basic" and "Guaranteed Livable" that I don't really understand but probably should (when I have time to read more).
My recollection might be wrong, but I thought "GLI" was, "if you don't make minimum wage we top it up" vs. "UBI" being "everyone gets $500 and if it turns out you're wildly successful we claw it back". GLI doesn't raise the floor, but it gives a hand to people in the gutter. UBI caps the gutter at floor level.
The RAMpocalypse has bought Microsoft valuable time in the fight against SteamOS
Op-ed: Valve has made a dent in Windows' gaming share, but can it keep going?

Valve’s best avenue is continuing arm support development while Microsoft is distracted catching up.
The idea of playing some our steam games on mobile hardware is literally a warning Apple, Google, Sony, and Microsoft are not taking seriously.
Essentially by once and play everywhere.
