What's a DNS server?

Interesting, thanks for the info. I'll have to google around about this when I have some free time today

You think conspiracy theories in general sound reasonable, don't you

Musk isn't gonna pay you for all these apologetics you're making in this post

Eh this is a much harder topic than you make it seem. For people like you and me, this may be the best approach to change our minds on things, but we also are the type of people to look at the facts around Musk and already come to the conclusion that he's a far-right, duplicitous manchild.

The people that flock to him and others like him, however, are not the type to respond to just the facts. They're invested emotionally into some aspect of what Musk is "selling" them. I don't know what the correct response is to try and win these people over to reality, but calm, reasoned responses to the monkey throwing its shit around the interview room isn't how you win over the people on the monkey's side. They already know he throws his shit around and they like it

It's not being banned. They're forcing the US portion of the company to be bought and run by an American company. To the users tiktok will remain, but the Chinese government will no longer have a direct line to the company leadership

Hey cut Musk some slack, average people aren't actually people

Not enough caps though

The proposals you'll likely be linking to are an attempt to circumvent the people's refusal to accept that we're all the same, by giving additional support to those marginalized groups. Since you can't force people to not be racist, the next alternative is to try and offset how that racism closes doors off.

Things like affirmative action policies are an imperfect attempt at offsetting facts like how identical resumes, but one with a traditionally black name, will get substantially less offers from a wide variety of companies than the one with a white name. It's basically a "this is why we can't have nice things" response to continued racism and people pretending that racism isn't still a problem.

I'm curious what you mean by soul here, if you're using it in a metaphorical sense or the religious sense

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Oh buddy come on you can't actually be misunderstanding how they used "horrible." They're not saying it's bad quality they're saying it's bad morally

NattyNatty2x4 ,

"That's "suppressing theft masquerading as art is awesome" you hear in that comment."

Emphasis mine. The context clues make the intended meaning pretty obvious

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Well I've never heard of a religious person claiming AI could have a soul in the religious sense, and "soul" has other meanings than the religiously literal one, so yes?
