Damaged Earth Catalog

In light of the topic (and because of personal gripes), i think a link to the actual podcast, RSS feed and all, would be more appropiate than big techs radio-show version of it.

Though frankly, that page needs some love, Sean!

But thanks for the submission, and thanks, Sean, for a great podcast!

One the one hand, that many people on here are so opposed to this kind of thinking (your post was flagged) is no suprise, since this is in many parts more of business than a hacker forum, so profit trumps all other concerns.

Yet considering, that many people here are also often unhappy with wasteful and user hostile software, like windows, i think a look at this kind of thinking can be really beneficial. Especially, since at least the actual programmers reading this site can easily have small impacts on these kind of problems, by just making sure, they craft their software with more care on such issues.

With these sentiments I always remember E.T. game for Atari. It took six weeks to develop that game, it would take an hour to develop now for experienced game dev, even without ai. So we do have some bloat now but we also have tremendous amount of productivity, mature tools, languages and hw.

Aside from the reasons stated in the page linked to? The thinking there seems like good fodder for conversation, do you have a more specific question?

I wish there was a section called "Gay technology", it would have raised so many questions as to what would "Gay technology" entail
