@Nifflas@mastodon.gamedev.place imo, B is still incredibly overpowered; it's not hard to find someone making bold assertions about whatever difficult scientific/historical/philosophical questions you might want answered, with or without influencing them
@xenolon @stroughtonsmith seconded. he's allowed to post about controversial tech, and likewise people are allowed to take issue with it. nobody here is a victim
@spv had it once, only interesting part was it felt like i blinked and woke up instantly vs. sleeping, you can usually "feel" that time has passed. hard to explain but definitely surprised me

Beware of geeks bearing gifts. When prison-tech companies started offering "free" tablets to America's vast army of prisoners, it set off alarm-bells for prison reform advocates - but not for the law-enforcement agencies that manage the great American carceral enterprise.
