  • What are some tech products that you want that you can't seem to find?

  • There are plenty of portable second screens for laptops now. But it seems weird you can't just hardwire a second laptop without having to resort to internet based screen sharing solutions.

  • What's something that's taken for granted that occasionally makes you think, wait wtf?

  • I'm pretty sure in that case the sound alone would kill us..

  • When will we have auto turrets mounted on plane engines to stop birdstrikes?

    Jump

  • If anything like this was ever done it's more likely it would be independent drones flying ahead of the plane at its 10 and 2 o'clock

  • If you were making a horcrux, what would you use as one?

  • A Nokia 3310

  • Have you tried Boost (android)? It's free and I haven't found anything to complain about..

  • Really makes me wonder what cybernetics will look like in a hundred, a thousand(!) years. No-one can experience someone else's consciousness. But if an artificial brain extension generated consciousness the same way we do and if it could be swapped between people safely. It might be the first time we have something saying, objectively, it has experienced being both of us in each of our brains and we see "red" the same way. The mind boggles...

  • Lightning trapped in sand etc. I used to play a kids game called Turing Tumble which shows how all logic operations can be replicated with little plastic seesaws and marbles. If you put the bits of plastic on the board in the right way you can see marbles falling by gravity performing binary addition. It blows my mind that that's all that's going on in my PC, just a trillion times the scale. I've worked in IT all my life and it continually surprises me that any of this stuff even works.

  • Why would you access Lemmy that way when there are lots of other ways?

  • How do stay up to date with clothing fashion?

  • Using money you haven’t earned to buy things you don’t need to impress people you don’t like..

  • Because back buttons are a basic feature of web browsers.

  • The sheer amount of information, feeling and emotion that happens to be conveyable by pressure waves in air. Can you imagine if sound just didn't work? How much that would suck? It's amazing that it's like.. a thing.

    Sight too (obviously, now that we're thinking this way). But just how fucking weird can a thing be if you manage to think about it abstractly for a minute? Matter, over there, just so happens to excite a completely unrelated field that randomly permeates everywhere, even empty space(?!). And we went and fucking evolved little squishy organs that connect these intangible excitations in this weird field into the glob of electrical neurons that make our being. And by some complete fucking voodoo I'm sat here with a picture in my mind of all matter around me that's emitting EM radiation in the 400 to 790 trillion wobbles per second range. That's weeiird.

  • Why do we put our hands on our heads when something makes us also want to yell "NO!"

    Jump

  • It's things like this that feel weirdly tragic; that our ancestors went through so much shit that only the ones with weird reflexes to grab their cranium made it. Young enough to have not had kids yet mind you. Other kids reacted in other ways, but they didn't survive. And so here we are, grabbing our heads when our team doesn't score, a chromosomal echo of some brutal day in the Kenyan Great Rift Valley..

  • Why are dwarf planets not considered planets but dwarf stars are considered stars?

  • In the core of this reasoning is the idea that “men are inherently dangerous to women” therefore “women must know at all times the biological sex of any person they interact with”.

    I don't believe that, just to be clear. But I think that's the view of a lot of people, and that's what i was outlining. because that was relevant to OP's question.

    So you can’t go past the “transition” history for reasons that under all other circumstances you would decry as “misandry”,

    I will assume you are not talking about me here as you have no idea of my point of view on the matter. I believe you are talking generically...

    even if you are talking generically, i don't think your assumption here makes sense. many people feel free to discriminate between people on the basis of their biological sex. there are many contexts where (for example) men will accept they are treated differently but will not resort to calling this "misandry". at least in the settings i'm familiar with and amongst the people i've lived alongside here in London, UK. you may have very specific incidence in mind or may not be intending to speak universally, but you said "all other circumstances", which sounds pretty universal, so i'm just pointing out that's not correct..

    entitled to hands down secrecy, given that a random bigot can just shoot them down for being trans with zero consequences.

    I don't know where you live, but this is not true in the UK

    while I agree with the thrust of what you are saying you have a writing style that puts words and assumptions in my mouth in a manner that comes across an unnecessarily combative. you also use exaggeration to make your point which is itself problematic..

    As Europeans, how is the mood among you Americans since Trump started making lots of political decisions?

  • Entirely unsurprised.

    It doesn't particularly affect day to day life in the UK though
