Australian here; I much prefer living away from cities. I like having a big house on a big block with lots of nature and as few other people around me as possible.

The catch is while the housing and land is wayyyy cheaper, other stuff is more expensive and inconvenient. The biggest thing people don’t consider is trades people; you’ll have plumbers, sparkies etc just refuse to even come out when they find out you’re more than half an hour away from civilisation, and if they do come out they charge for the travel.

For the 99.99% of people that don’t make software that can kill people, OPs post is true.

No one cares if “uber but for X” has some downtime because some dingus forgot what a linked list is.

Why would a gaming react andy get a TV deal? It doesn’t make any sense what are his credentials? Yelling? Catchphrases maybe?

I couldn’t see anyone in my family using a CLI, they’d either be scared of it or get annoyed that they have to remember things. They’d quite happily spend all day clicking around a GUI to avoid 5 seconds of scary terminal words.

VR won’t be viable until it’s transparent and unobtrusive; a contact lens, for example. A giant headset that you strap on to your face just isn’t appealing to most customers outside of the initial novelty factor.

Devils advocate, not my actual opinion; if you can make a Thing that people will pay to use, easily and without domain specific knowledge, why would you not? It may hit issues at some point but by them you’ve already got ARR and might be able to sell it.

+1, it’s hot garbage and I don’t know why anyone would use it. You’re better off trying to randomly guess the URL of the content your looking for because that’s probably more likely to find it.

If you mass edit, it’ll get restored from older versions - pointless really.

Find your top 20-30 posts and comments and manually edit them. Make them sound real, but at the same time contain complete bullshit. Anyone, or any thing reading them will be misinformed- not by you but by reddit thus making reddit less valuable.

To really be a thorn in reddits side we need to be actively, but subtly malicious.

Hotmail still exists?
