    is the barter system the peak of economics?

  • For real. Let's say I make parts for nuclear reactor, and I want to acquire a scented candle. There is no one who deals in candles that has any interested in acquiring nuclear reactors. And even if you put in a massive amount of searching and somehow found some crazy fringe overlap of a person interested in exchanging those things, the value of my nuclear reactor is a trillion times greater than the value of the candle that I'm looking to acquire.

  • What is your fandom? What is the most controversial opinion you have relating to your fandom?

  • Doctor Who - Peter Capaldi's era was awful. Just really, really bad. I think he's a good actor, but the show was garbage during his tenure.

  • Huh interesting, that's different from what I've tasted and read in articles, but it's entirely possible that your particular variety is superior

  • As wine yes, but as an eating grape definitely not

  • Not surprising, I'd guess a wine bottle can hold about 200 whole grapes of the varieties that are grown for wine which iirc are smaller sized grapes.

  • Myopic take. Generally projects are healthier when they have a larger userbase

  • There's almost always a backstory for why the makers choose the name they did, but that doesn't change the harmful result. A bad name seriously limits how much the software will ever get adopted. Heck, if there was a FOSS project i cared about enough then i would fork it and keep everything the same except give it a more palatable name.

  • Why do useful FOSS things always have the worst names that make it hard to spread.

  • Exactly. I have no idea how anyone could disagree or think it isn't worth noting

  • What are the most important things to teach a child that they're not going to get in school?

    Jump

  • Emotional regulation and understanding. Most people never learn this either at schools or elsewhere.

  • Has there ever been an industry that's been "enshittified" and then un-"enshittified"?

    Jump

  • That's not the same thing.

  • Look up "loss" on a meme explanation site. When the numbers 1 2 2 50 are converted to Roman numerals, the result looks like the loss meme

  • Why there’s no European Google?

    Jump

  • What makes you think they use US ai? And even if they do it's surely just a stopgap till they make their pwn. And and all the search engines have a way to turn off ai in your searches. And and and this is the type of purity test that prevents progress from happening

  • Qwant is fricken awesome, it's as good as and sometimes even better than Google

  • Literally exactly how it works, too.

  • Nothing to agree or disagree with, you're factually incorrect. The observer effect has nothing to do with whether someone's eyes are looking toward it or not. It basically just means when a process is happening and anything external occurs to it then that will change the way the process is happening.
