Absolutely not, I'm all for defunding the police but if your idea of a peaceful country doesn't involve someone owning and being willing to defend themselves with firearms you're just living in a fantasy where crime just magically doesn't exist.

c0mbatbag3l , 3 months ago

In your part of the world there's no cops, no one owns firearms, and there's just no crime?

I could see them being archival backups for TV broadcast, quite a few are still using tapes for long term archive.

A fraction of what it takes for thousands of machines to perform rework of the same problem.

This isn't the good argument you think it is.

Damn, if you'd actually watched the video you'd know he spends about 40 minutes covering the issues with crypto as it's crucial to understanding NFTs.

Nice try, though.

No, they're saying that as a person they don't really care about it when relating to characters. We experience things as human beings, not by sexual orientation or sexual identification.

Unless the specific human experience is related to sex/gender in some way, we feel what others feel and relate to them based on the character work and related narrative elements. Not just "is man/woman, please relate."

quietly ignores Rebel Moon and her abysmal performance, and not just the writing either.

I mean idk about Jinx, she's more or less just a traumatized wreck with huge guns than anything, but Vi absolutely. Caitlin will get there but her upper crust naivete that's never been challenged until she goes to Zahn kinda stifles that. Hoping she gets a bigger dose of reality and it changes her character more significantly (just not enough screentime in the last part, really) in season 2.

Maybe people just don't find the same meme posted 309 times to be that interesting of content.

Copilot is an official Microsoft offering like Outlook or PowerBI, of course they'd rather you use a product officially sanctioned by the company you already pay to handle your productivity software.

I bet they regret blowing their load on Cortana already with their useless Windows 10 feature.

Now their actual AI isn't named after the AI from the videogame they specifically used for brand recognition. What a fuck up.

Aren't these the same guys that have a stick up their ass about AMD and/or they get paid by Intel to be biased?

Still Beans face is 99% of the reason for even using the meme. Without it the image just looks like two people sitting side by side instead of the cheating.

None of which exist currently and won't be planned until after the overthrow of the system has resulted in another power grab and we end up in the same situation with a different hierarchy.

Stonks.

Seriously though, anarchy and whatever it means to you is purely theoretical in nature. "Anarchy is insert thing that's never existed and OP can't even explain in detail" is a useless statement, all you're saying is it's not what we have now and somehow it won't have any kind of vertical elevation of humans above one another.

We can all create fantasy utopias in our heads and claim they are or aren't whatever we want.

Yeah I've noticed I'm spending less and less time here the more every community either devolves into doom and gloom politics or Linux.

Reddit sucks, Tildes is too small to matter, but Lemmy just doesn't have any kind of variety whatsoever. The niche communities all died out in June after the people who thought they'd be kick starting them for the reddit Exodus had to carry them with no conversation or posts, and now it's just this shit in every community.

c0mbatbag3l , 3 months ago

True but they were back before the election and those same conservatives he appointed told him to cram his election fraud narrative.

Plus it's just in favor of conservatives, not stacked completely.

c0mbatbag3l , 3 months ago

No, it's not. That's an impossible standard for the company to hold.

You buy the product under the assessment that you will void the warranty by doing XYZ, if you want that level of access you have made changes that could have damaged the battery and they don't have the time to grill every wannabe tech douche to make sure they didn't fuck up the device themselves.

They tell you what you can and can't do with the product AND still receive support up front, case closed.

Ah yes, a Vice article from 2016. Absolute pinnacle of the understanding of law.

If this had even a shred of truth there would have already been dozens of class action lawsuits from people like OP.

He used to be a straight up IT support style channel that had a bunch of useful information about troubleshooting and configuration.

Now it's just "watch us build our 5,837th gaming PC from Wish.com!" He's officially gotten to the point where he has more money than ideas.

Exactly, appropriating means to take and pretend you invented it or created it. Interacting with culture or enjoying other people's culture isn't harmful and if these people actually went to other countries they'd realize their people WANT to share their culture.

I wonder if it has anything to do with needing to be a millionaire to support a family and the earning potential being locked away under skyrocketing costs of education.

When people have no hope for a future and start realizing that their ability to succeed is being placed behind wealth tests, they give up. When an entire generation gives up you see it in the population decline. Most people don't want to start a family knowing they can't afford it, so they just refuse to. They'd rather just sit around and do as little as possible since doing as much as possible will not reward them.

This situation has been in the making since at least the 1970-80's but people have been preaching about self correcting markets and nonsense like trickle down economics to cover for the inevitable collapse due to an entire generation+ realizing they're totally fucked with no hope of it getting better outside of a full political overhaul that won't happen.

People who don't understand or use AI think it's less capable than it is and claim it's not AGI (which no one else was saying anyways) and try to make it seem like it's less valuable because it's "just using datasets to extrapolate, it doesn't actually think."

Guess what you're doing right now when you "think" about something? That's right, you're calling up the thousands of experiences that make up your "training data" and using it to extrapolate on what actions you should take based on said data.

You know how to parallel park because you've assimilated road laws, your muscle memory, and the knowledge of your cars wheelbase into a single action. AI just doesn't have sapience and therefore cannot act without input, but the process it does things with is functionally similar to how we make decisions, the difference is the training data gets input within seconds as opposed to being built over a lifetime.

c0mbatbag3l , 3 months ago

Yeah I studied CS and work in IT Ops, I'm not claiming this shit is Cortana from Halo, but it's also not NFTs. If you can't see the value you haven't used it for anything serious, cause it's taking jobs left and right.

c0mbatbag3l , 3 months ago

To make the analogy actually comparable the human in question would need to be learning about it for the first time (which is analogous to the training data) and in that case you absolutely could convince the small child of that. Not only would they believe it if told enough times by an authority figure, you could convince them that the colors we see are different as well, or something along the lines of giving them bad data.

A fully trained AI will tell you that you're wrong if you told it the sky was orange, it's not going to just believe you and start claiming it to everyone else it interacts with. It's been trained to know the sky is blue and won't deviate from that outside of having its training data modified. Which is like brainwashing an adult human, in which case yeah you absolutely could have them convinced the sky is orange. We've got plenty of information on gaslighting, high control group and POW psychology to back that up too.

c0mbatbag3l , 3 months ago

I wish we called them VI's. It was a good distinction in their ability.

Though honestly I think our AI is more advanced in conversation than a VI in ME.

Growing will also bring an increased attack surface and justification for writing malware for Linux due to market adoption.

It's not all good, there is going to be an increased security vulnerability along with it.

Pascal's wager doesn't even attempt to make a philosophical argument for God's existence, and it only works if you assume a singular god. Of course in this case it's Christianity.

So let's say someone agrees that it's better to worship a god on the off chance they exist than to not do so and end up in hell, now what? Where do I go from here? You've opened up a can of worms because now I have to decide what the logical choice is (since PW only relies purely on logic) in which god to choose.

The "logical choice" only works when you have a singular alternative, but if you have a dozen different gods to choose from then everything falls apart. The only logical thing to do is to worship the god with the worst hell, on the off chance that they are the one true God. At least you spared yourself from that.

In the end though the wager essentially only sees/works with atheism and one religion, which is why it's so flawed. The moment you introduce multiple religions to a coin toss logic scenario it fails to work.

c0mbatbag3l , 4 months ago

No it doesn't, unless you have it set that way.

I love Linux but most complaints about Windows is just lack of user knowledge and getting mad that it doesn't work like Linux.

I wonder if complete sedentary lifestyles correlate with inflammation, stress on joints, and overall negative health outcomes?

Hmmm... If only there were studies on such a thing.

c0mbatbag3l , 4 months ago

Except it does correlate meaningfully, don't believe me? Break your index finger, does it hurt? No shit.

That's not to say the nervous system can't create pain that has no source, the entire condition of fibromyalgia is evidence of that possibility, but to say they aren't meaningfully correlated is insane.

Most people who have pain unrelated to medical diagnosis in their 30's and 40's are fat as hell, eat like crap, and get no exercise, and are constantly dehydrated. That's why they hurt so damn much.

This is exactly what's going to happen, the idea that corporate entities are even aware of us let alone investing resources into convincing the few hundred commenters on Lemmy of their opinions is ridiculous.

This will just turn into "oh, you have a dissenting opinion? You're a corporate shill."

Can't wait, we'll lose even more people and then I'll end up just going to Tildes exclusively as the echo chamber becomes even more severe than it already is here.

c0mbatbag3l , 4 months ago

Depends, if you mean for the average user then it's good, but still overpriced as hell, and you have to deal with the Apple philosophy of "we did the thinking for you, if you dislike our choices it's not matter of preference, you're just wrong" no matter what.

Enterprise use cases you might as well pitch your Apple products in the trash, they won't work and you'll spend more time figuring out which USB-C Thunderbolt to 10G SR optical fiber converter actually works than you will getting productivity done.

c0mbatbag3l , 4 months ago

now exists in the world and is impossible for you to do anything about.

Is the corporate astro turfer with us in the room right now, demesisx?

There's a snowball's chance in hell that corporations are spending their time and money trying to convince the few dozen active posters and few thousand commenters of anything. Most corporations with a PR department probably don't even know Lemmy exists let alone has a significant enough number of users to matter to their interests.

Even if all of that weren't true, you've still done nothing but created a community which I'm sure takes all of the time that setting up a new voice channel on discord does. Congratulations, you've created a place where random people who don't agree with you will be framed as corporate imps for having an independent thought or knowledge of how the world works that you just can't wrap your head around.

"Impossible for you to do anything about"

Lol it's like watching Jerry from R&M leaving the day care and being told that he was always allowed, we really couldn't care less but you'll take this criticism as "those darn corpos trying to ruin Lemmy!" Instead of people calling you out for providing nothing and then pretending you are some activist striking out against the man.

c0mbatbag3l , 4 months ago

How is a corporation going to signal boost someone in a website they don't even know exists for a platform of a few thousand reliable everyday users when they have no presence with which to "boost" it?

It feels like this place took the worst of reddit, not the best.

You might just live in crime central, that's not happening everywhere. Probably on an individual cost of cashier versus lost stock basis with each location.
