    This sounds like something a robot pretending to be a human acting as a robot convincing you it’s human in an ironic, humorous way would say!

    Think about it. Under each level of irony, there could always be another level of robot. (That includes me right now.)

    The singularity isn’t “near” as people say, we’re already way past it. (In text-based communication anyway.)

    Isn’t that the point of the whole communities structure though? That you have some common topic to talk about, rather than just exchanging small-talk?

    For me, the people I’d talk to on Reddit were mostly internet strangers anyway, so my mindset is that this place is no different :) Different website, but still just fellow human beings at the end of the day.






  • I mean, at this point, it’s hard to disagree with this. Before the C-type ecosystem was fully established, there was maybe still room to make arguments for and against… but in this day and age, the transition from Lightning to C is a no-brainer really.

    I admit however that I’ll miss the haptic feel of Lightning. Yes, a well made USB-C / Thunderbolt connector come pretty close, but even the best C-type plug has that an inherent “wonkiness” due to to the hollow ending and the springs inside. Still no comparison to Lightning, where the plug is a solid chunk of metal.
