Discussion from 2 years ago when this was new:
How far stuff moves forward in short time.
1/40th of an average human life isn't really that short. That's 400-700 calendar work days depending on your work ethitcs, possibly thousands of man days.
That's an eternity gone in the blink of an eye, not a short time.
Life is what is short. :(
it’s up to you.
- The technology was attempted and failed 50 years ago, like so many other things.
- 12 years ago, video calls (1-to-1) became available to everyone
- 4 years ago, for inexplicable reasons, demand spiked for videoconferencing. MS Teams gained an annoying foothold.
- Around the same time, Jitsi Meet usage goes up as an easily accessible open source solution.
- 2 years ago (looks like only 1 when checking), Matrix replaces integration with a native feature, for standalone feature parity with the rest of the space.
Not that exciting a timeline...
Imagine if everyone goes to heaven after they die but the first thing they must do in the afterlife is to watch a perfect recording of their entire life before they enter heaven. How many of those viewers are going to complain that life is too short?
