the rampant consumerism in nerd spaces seems to disprove the Lemmy title in the large, even if this specific example indicates the opposite wrt marketing by software firms aimed at developers.

the only thing I could think of with a smart fridge is being able to check the contents from your phone while you are at the store to see if you need milk or whatever…but that’s not really a problem that justifies ads and the absolute invasion of privacy and the fact that the thing is likely about as secure as a wooden fence on a bank vault

the problem with “most of the time” is that it only takes one car accident to be the last car ride you ever take

I played an hour of the first game and that was enough for me, so I’m not exactly their target demo anyways.

…or Do Not Play

way ahead of you there, guy

just as inefficiencies in a petroleum distillation plant must be removed, slavish adherence to technical efficiency dictates that impediments to policing be removed.

consider the Dot Com Bubble: the internet obviously didn’t disappear but that doesn’t mean there weren’t serious economic consequences.

this is why you get your rich parents to pay for your poison-making chemistry degree at prestigious ivy league institutions
