*I wonder what becomes of these peculiar artificial islands in 50 or a hundred years
@bruces with a record setting El Niño forming, I wonder what becomes of these islands after this year
@bruces drone base 100%.
@bruces Probably some sad bunch of people will be camped on it with a rack of servers and a network connection claiming they are a new independent crypto state or whatever the fad is then.
*Are your spoons bent
@bruces How did they get the name? After hearing from customers and employees of recent acquisitions who told them to get bent, it just came naturally.
*Giant Chinese electric robot tractor
*I'm guessing this somehow helps the millet-harvest
@bruces Looks like our Robot Overlords are saving some millet for us.
@bruces China is absolutely eating our lunch.

The Copilot's Copiloting Copilot
@bruces
This reminds me of IBM naming everything under the sun WebSphere for a while.
@bruces
Fractal tails wagging a dog
@bruces as we know from The Incredibles: if everything is copilot, nothing is
... if only 🙄
@bruces These are the same people that came up with Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox X.
Also Windows 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 95, 98, ME, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11, NT, 2000, and Server.
They use numbers but they don't put the numbers in order. It's like Microsoft has synesthesia and organizes version numbers based on what color they feel like. "1 is red, 2 is orange, and 3s are yellow. What's a good green number? 90-something? The 90s feel green to me. Ooh! Speaking of 'me'..."
