Some guy hates his job, which is to fly to Voyager from Space station Gamma 32 and clean it off, because kids like to take their spacecraft out and tag it with rude names. Voyager still continues on it’s trek. The guy hates his job, it’s just what was known as a Janitor on Earth, which has almost no purpose in the post-consumption society.
And yet we sit here in 2023 and would be utterly fascinating with every single part of that idea. I don’t know if we’ll ever reach it, but I could see a future that is so far ahead of where we are today, that it would be unrecognizable.
Let’s hope so. Apart from all these conflicts going on in the world we have also the environmental crisis, so unless we figure out some wonder technology in the next few years don’t see a good future for human kind.
Looks as though they’ve started receiving limited signals – a “heartbeat” from the probe. And even if full communications aren’t re-established in the immediate term, it seems Voyager 2 automatically repositions its antenna towards Earth every few months – next one due is in October. Pretty slick for such an old probe.
The justice is the imprisonment. People are not sentenced to be raped, tortured or murdered by other inmates, and the prison system should go through any and all pains necessary to prevent such things from occurring.
Ordinarily I would agree with you. But a parent killing their kids? Nah, fuck that. Your justice might be the imprisonment. I hope she catches more than few hot beat downs.
You can reform crimes of necessity, like stealing to buy food. This person might have a brain defect. Either something genetic or even a brain tumor. It might be fixable with treatments. It might not be.
I mean, I could have just offered myself up to be corrupted by these “immoral” instruments. If they didn’t want the instruments around, they could have let me take them.
Logical decision on the part of a journalistic medium, given that the fediverse has many more sources of information than a monolithic Big Brother traditional social network with mainstream users.
Well, what’s the point of being a religious leader if you can’t use that position to secretly engage in all of the debauchery you’re so vehemently condemning?
This might be a good time to plug Tidal. Very similar UI and pricing but it sends way more money to the artists. Switching is also very easy and it can transfer your saved playlists and everything.

This seems like a very bad idea. I’m concerned that having a test might cause people to suspend their critical thinking responsibility and may have other issues like being inaccurate or causing deep fake tech to just leap frog over it - and then be able to benefit from fake authenticity measurements.
