At least nothing really bad happened. This reminds me of a incident that happened to me during a summer camp once. The organizers had put together a [DIY water slide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0gxlW-RKjo) and told us we can use it. They were spraying water on it using a water hose at the top so the water flew all the way down to the bottom. We were all in a line going one after the other. It was finally my turn so I slid down the water slide. While sliding down I managed to get water in my eyes so at the bottom I got up and started rubbing my eyes. However the kid behind me slid down almost immediately after me so while I was standing there he hit me and knocked me down. He wasn't really going fast so I didn't suffer any injuries. The high-school kid that was supervising us (we were supervised by a bunch of highschoolers basically, the only adult there was a local priest who wasn't there all the time) started yelling at me for not getting away immediately after descending. So there's that.

That's nice, let's hope it stays that way.

So I'm asking you all, do you treat your computer the way they really deserve?

No, the longest period of time during which I didn't clean my PC was approximately 3 years. I can't remember exactly and I haven't cleaned my current PC in almost a year.

I joined but I stopped going there because I don't like the comment system. The comments are not linked together so you can't see who replied to who (like on Mainchan for example) which makes the comment section really hard to follow. If you implemented a system like that, added a way to edit comments and added a password reset function (I lost my password so I can't log in) I might come back. Just my two cents.

How is UBI even going to be funded though? Since vast majority of people will be out of jobs there will be way less tax money coming in. I just don't see how that will be feasible. I'm afraid we are going to end up with a system like the wireheading city (1, 2).

Another really big problem in a job-free world will be that people's lives will be completely devoid of meaning (even more so than now). Perhaps some sort of a new age religion could be established to counter this?

I dropped out of college where I studies CS a couple of years ago and I regretted doing that at the beginning. But now I'm starting to think that even if I had a CS degree it wouldn't offer me any real advantage anyway.

If I remember correctly Cicero has been working on this app ever since he got laid off from his developer position to keep himself busy while looking for another job.

Will you also start advertising MC once again after the app is done?

Unfortunately Linux desktop is still not in a state where someone who doesn't know anything about computers can use it.

I've posted something on there and I got some guy asking me what programming languages should he learn to not "miss out on the dynamics of the job market". Seems like the kind of corporate speak AI would spit out.
