History Repeats Itself | The Aol Chat Room Monitor Revolt - Priceonomics | September 2014
  • I read this article someone linked in another discussion and posted it here. It's not only relevant but also prescient, considering it's vintage. The wheel of time grinds onward and cycles just repeat themselves. Perhaps FOSS and federation can break the enshittification cycle of large monetized social networks but I don't see mass adoption any time soon.

  • Yeah I'm not really sympathetic to the sheer quantity of resources being thrown at this situation. The same resources could be better applied to so many other unaddressed problems. These (mostly wealthy) people made a risk and are paying for it, why do the rest of us have to pay for it too?

  • How do you feel about grilling whole onions?
  • Never done it, usually decomposed into wedges and grilled in a basket with other veggies like garlic, mushrooms, and golden beets. They do it with half onions at a Lebanese restaurant near me they are sweet and delicious!

  • Thoughts on canon in fiction? I think I'm done with it tbh
  • Maybe you're just growing up? As I get older I just don't have the emotional or mental capacity to really care that much about trivial knowledge anymore. Maybe you're sad to let go of a love and an obsession that is tied concretely to your now fleeting youth..., and that's a valid feeling. Ride it out and find out where you land maybe you'll pick up a new love or obsession.

    In 1999, America Online's volunteer chat room monitors sued the company for back wages. Do today's hot Internet companies risk the same fate?

    [TECHCRUNCH] A whistleblower raised safety concerns about OceanGate’s submersible in 2018. Then he was fired.
  • I'm curious about the specifications of the Carbon Fiber hull. Carbon fiber laminates are notorious for delaminating. I cant imagine the stresses on that hull from repeated pressure cycling. What nondestructive methods were they planning to use to investigate the hull? The article does not say. Also the veiwport not being certified for human operation at that depth is a major indicator.

    Either the hull imploded and they were disintegrated in a 5,000 psi crush of water, or the viewport failed, then they were imploded and disintegrated. Jeez that's horrible.

    You can see a tour of the submersible here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29co_Hksk6o&t=139s

    Couldn't pay me a million dollars to get in that contraption and go to 30 meters even. Crazy.

  • How does everyone sort their posts?

    My default is Subscribed | New comments.

    Hot and Active are too slow. New Comments lets even old posts rise to the top showing that new comments are being made and can be interacted with.

    Then I switch to Subscribed | New to jump on new posts if I want to, and then finish up with All | New Comments and dive into the action lol.

    What's your strategy?

    Traveling away from the kids - do you miss 'em?

    I travel quite a bit for work, and my kids are 1 and 4. Sometimes I can't wait to get away from the house of toddler chaos and get to a bed where I can just sleep blissfully alone. But once I see their faces on video chat from my hotel room I miss them so much and just want to go home.

    Give me another week at home however and I'm itching to get out of there again. Anyone else feel this?
