I would have thought they would have worked all the bugs out of Autopilot by now. After all they've been working on it for 40+ years as seen in this documentary clip:
I'm very much an Introvert and can go a long time without speaking a word (I once attended a conference and realized afterwards that I probably spoke 10 words the entire week). I would never use this kind of thing. I sort of wonder - are those creating and marketing these devices possibly more on the extrovert end of the spectrum? It never would have occurred to me to create these sorts of things since I would never want to interface with one.
I have a female student who was asking me if she would have a problem getting a job since she is in her late 30s. I told her that anyone who is not white or an older man shouldn't have any trouble. Even though she is white, her gender will almost guarantee her a job.
I will be interested to see in 5-10 years if this holds true. They hold facebook in such derision at the present time (no offense) that it's hard to imagine them adopting it later.
My teenagers and college-age kids used to use facebook, but they stopped years ago. They now consider it a platform for old people. They, and all their friends, moved to other sites like Tumblr. They now actively mock anyone who still uses facebook. And this isn't just a local phenomenon. They have online friends all of the US who feel the same way.
Can you tell me more about this? I don't use any social media (Slashdot is not social media). I never use my real name online. I'm not sure what would be in my shadow profile. Or is this just a profile from public government documents?
Exactly. Facebook is for old people. I recently attended a talk by a teenager (maybe 17) show mentioned Tumblr and then said "for you old people, that's like Facebook". That got a big laugh and nods of agreement from the other young people.
Or young. I have teenagers and college age kids. They used Facebook years ago, but have not used it in a long time. Facebook is now perceived by that generation as being for old people. They've all moved on to places like Tumblr. They actively mock people that still use Facebook.
I'm not the OP, but neither my wife nor I use Facebook (or instagram, snapchapt, tumblr, linkedin, etc. ad naseum). Usually someone will email us the information. That works fine for friends or family that know and remember that we aren't on facebook. But, sometimes acquaintances don't remember. My wife in an art literacy volunteer at the kids elementary school (basically teaches a class about an artist and does an art project with them in the artists style). This year the art coordinator elected to use facebook to coordinate things. That's fine. My wife just told her that she's not on facebook (much shock ensued) so the coordinator said she'd email my wife the information. Well, the coordinator constantly forgets. This isn't really a problem for my wife, but it is a problem for the coordinator since my wife isn't showing up to meetings she doesn't know about so the coordinator has to come to our house to do a one on one meeting with my wife. Hopefully at some point the coordinator with make a note reminder herself that not everyone uses Facebook.
So we can now 3D print metal and plastic. I think I remember reading about the 3D printing of organic material (or maybe that was just conceptual - e.g., printing someone a new liver). What materials can we not 3D print, yet?
Slashdot Mirror
Well, you were half right. It turned out we didn't need PCs either (or at least the majority of the population doesn't need one).
I wish I had your level of optimism.

Dude! I totally knew those healing crystals I bought were legit!
Wait, what do they call smartphones where you live? I occasionally hear the term cell phone, but smartphone still predominates where I live.

Me too. Nothing auditory, but I could almost sense the thudding.

There is/was a Linux Journal.
To be honest, we were all sort of hoping you would think of a way. So far you are letting us down.

"accidentally unauthorized jewelry" I haven't heard of this. What does it mean?

Is a discussion board like this really social media? I don't think it is.

Not OP, but my groups use Signal since supposedly it's supposed to be the most secure.

You do know the Arabs predated Islam, right?
I can't tell if you are ignorant or a troll. I'll assume ignorant. Hittites were not Arabs by any stretch of the imagination.
Ah, my mistake. I thought they were talking about sites like tvids.net
