google wave was stupid and for nerds

it wasn't so much that as the first client was like a perfect example of an MVP - sorta mostly worked unless you were actually using it and then it was super sluggish and threw weird errors all the time and only worked 90% of the time - and so people were like "wow wave sucks"

its actually really funny that nz still doesnt have grass legalized. is it like a 'degenerate maoris will steal your daughters after they inject cannabis skunk' thing or whats going on there

like srs i'd expect that to be the first country to legalize cause everybody there lives in a little mushroom house and their breakfast is fairy laughs and some dew out of a cupped leaf

coz left wing govts never get poo poo done


there was a referendum about it, but they didn’t ask “should weed be decrim” but more “ok so we have this specific plan to have a weed dispensary on every corner” and blah blah and for most people even if theyre happy with weed being legal they weren’t happy with the proposed plan. and tbh most people simply don’t care enough about weed to care about changing it.

lol i just pulled up the wikipedia page for google wave and

quote:

During an event in Amsterdam, Netherlands,[15] it became apparent that the 60-strong team that was then working on Wave in Sydney used Joss Whedon-related references to describe, among others, the sandbox version of Wave called Dollhouse after the TV series by Firefly producer Joss Whedon, which was aired on Fox in the US. The development of external extensions was codenamed "Serenity", after the spaceship used in Firefly and Serenity.

i spoke to multiple boomers who were like ‘yeah i smoke weed sometimes and i buy weed for my kids and weed weed but will still vote against decriminalisation’

people are loving crazy resistant to change even if the evidence for it is clear

like chloe’s extremely cogent argument was ‘people, disproportionately māori and pacific islanders, get criminalised for weed early in life and are then hosed, weed being illegal makes it a source of income for organised crime, meanwhile alcohol does far more harm and is an entire industry’, all backed with heaps of evidence but welp
