I'm curious, could you elaborate on what this means and what it would accomplish if successful?

I just played Sayonara Wild Hearts. It's very aesthetic. Fun gameplay.

Best wishes to the staff :)

As God, I temporarily relieve the souls who are currently in a rush from the consequences of failing the shopping cart test. They will be tested again, however, using seemingly innocuous daily items to prove if they belong in the good place.

Here's the thing - most of the people who don't return their shopping carts don't even know that this is a test. If they did, their behavior would change. If you know about the test, it fundamentally voids the test. And that is what makes it valid. If there is no pressure, what do they do?

I'm glad we aren't incentivized. It allows for this ultimate litmus to take place. I will literally go shopping with dates to figure this out.

Can you imagine how exciting it would be though when this actually started to work? This probably started as a side project, with a dude saying like, nahhh this could never work.

Until suddenly it did

If I have mastodon, how and when can I follow Blue sky users? I read something about an adapter server or something, but I don't know what that means in a practical sense.

I use proton VPN for torrenting. It doesn't show I've downloaded anything. I think that means my VPN is working? 😅

Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report in c/technology@lemmy.world

The people here who 1) think a breakup of Google will actually happen, and 2) think that a paid subscription model for a search engine have all been spending too much time in their Linux bubble.

If Google did this, everyone would just switch to Bing, or open AI's new thing they are making. The general public will not be on board with that.
