Seems similar to factory mechanics using Google Glass to look up schematics etc.

Of course, Google being allergic to commitments discontinued it anyway, despite its successes in industrial applications.

So exciting to see Twitter expanding into e-commerce!

Tech: minimalism is when maximalism

X is reeling this morning after its website crashed last night due to an orchestrated attack on its servers during its Elon / Trump interview. A spokesperson for X said that the attack seemed to have been orchestrated by a foreign state actor. “We are currently looking for a group of roughly 900,000 people who could have carried out such an attack to silence Trump.” The spokesperson said it was clearly a foreign nation. “X couldn’t possibly have failed due to too many concurrent listeners. According to our latest figures, there are only 10 actual people who aren’t bots that still use X, 5 of which are confused and still think it’s Twitter.” Tech experts said that they had never seen such a sophisticated and well organised attempt to flood the servers, using millions of different points of attack. The experts say the attack was highly organised. “In order to get millions of computers to participate at the same time, the perpetrators harnessed social media to encourage people to flood the servers, and overload the website. This was sophisticated stuff.” “They announced their attack day months ago, and then worked methodically to make sure everyone remembered the attack date.” “The perpetrators must have known that no computer server can withstand the load of an entire nation trying to access the same website at the same time on the same day.” —

The concept of 4 seasons itself is very Eurocentric, and leads to the inaccurate belief that the seasons/climate are messy and unpredictable in Australia.

The native aboriginal peoples have their own season system for each region, which much more accurately describes the weather. For example, the aboriginal calendar identifies 7* seasons in Victoria.

*Edit for previously incorrect info which stated there were 6 seasons (different area of Australia)

Fascism works because it convinces the most average unremarkable person that they are more worthy as long as they follow a chain of command

But when I was a kid I loved urban dictionary. I learned so many words that I might not have. And I enjoyed memes much earlier than I would have.

More likely they were way ahead of that by setting the draw distance as the speed of light.

People think that the Brexit Referendum was when the UK timeline split, but imo it split when the Alternative Vote referendum failed back in 2011.

Japan goes crazy with abbreviated words. E.g. JK for Joshi Kousei (high school girl).
