Wow, I start to feel bad whenever I get above maybe 10-15. I can't imagine what it must look like inside your head if you're ok with 12k. :)

Maybe they started deleting everything, before disabling their accounts? One can but hope. :)

It's worse. Even if you talk to them, explain in detail why and how Meta and their products are evil, they will just nod, frown, go "yeah, that's serious, someone should do something", and then they will turn around, check their Whatsapp messages and post a story on Instagram about their lunch.

The flying drone is more agile, as well as moving faster and less predictably. More difficult to hit than a ground vehicle.

Your comment is halfway towards shameless whataboutism, but I'll bite.

The huge difference here is that for these billionaires, everybody else is a "far away consequence". It's as if I kept tossing my garbage into my direct neighbor's window and flushing my toilet into their kitchen sink.

It can always be more down, and people can always panic more.

Yes, but me playing cookie clicker (or fortnite, or whatever, competitive tic-tac-toe) does not bring with itself suffering and poverty for millions of others. Whereas them chasing their virtual money high score ruins societies.

They are all psychopaths, devoid of normal human emotions.

Because admitting there are problems causes the stock market to go down.

Also the paths in the snow that are gradually disappearing when left unused.

...and have it fail spectacularly when deployed in an environment that requires reliability performance and high availability. Yes, I honestly can't wait to see those horror comedies unfold, but hopefully far away from me. :)

From the screenshot on the project website, it seems "@serv.er" is part of any remote nickname, so I'm assuming the nicks are in per-server namespaces, which prevents any nick collisions.

Although it must wreak havoc on many IRC clients, since the @ sign has a very specific meaning in the IRC protocol. :)

This has been an issue for as long as IRC itself has existed. There are solutions to resolve such "netsplits" and "netjoins", but they all rely on the servers in the network being trusted and not malicious.

With Parley, where anyone can bring their own instance, and they are not guaranteed to not to be malicious, that could be an interesting issue to solve.

Forget russia, we have emboldened, determined and dangerous fascist USA already to worry about.

Are we, though? Going to want to scale this up, I mean.

Unless economic systems around the world change significantly very soon, this AI replacement you so cavalierly mention would cause significant portion of human population to reach poverty, causing much unrest and mass deaths.

How much of what you list has been "democratized"? Apart from the forum, and probably the browser, nothing. And both of those things are of questionable goodness to humanity.
