It's like what Gamespy was back in the day, or XQF. THe All-Seeing Eye (ASE) was pretty good too but is defunct. Maybe XQF is still around.

Those provided a list of servers for game servers, for games that didn't have a centralized list of servers.

Facebook is cooked 5 months ago

They capitulated to TikTok by adding thirst content and suggested content based on activity.

Open source has many altruistic and smart people that like to learn and build while benefiting others.

But then you also have high ego people motivated by building a personal brand, prestige and status... and open source is just means to that end. While their contributions are valuable, conflicts of interest arise.

This is good progress but the 1995 movie is still superior.

There many details in the movie, like the sound of electricity going through the circuit, the camera path is more like a spline with rotations in more axis, etc.

It does perform really good on mobile.

AI is the perfect scapegoat.

Insurance providers are also doing it.

AI is also used in the legal space too.

Many job openings are just a way for recruiting to harvest resumes, or to give the impression there's some growth going on, or to conceal the actual open headcounts for teams. Ghost jobs.

This impacts vulnerable people looking for jobs and makes job search highly inefficient.

Just watch one of the sessions of the UN general assembly. There are many speeches about fixing all kinds of situations. If the best ideas were implemented we would be in a utopia with flying cars, free ponies for everyone and open bar. But we don't live in such world because if one motion somehow makes one of the countries with veto power uncomfortable, they will just veto the resolution and that's the end of it. And countries with veto power are backed by military power. That's the world we live in and it has always been like that.

And things work like this at every level in every organization. For example people in your line of reporting at work can veto any decision you make unless you are protected by law, which is an entity that can shut down your company by force.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, a European power could prevail in India, China, Japan, etc.

And in the 21st century? not so much. It is a different world now.

Europe is powerful but the Royal Navy couldn't go today to Hong Kong and seize control of it for example.

And military power influences diplomacy.
