  • Tariffs Spark Shift to Open Source

    Jump

  • There's some hostile people abounding. Let them think what they will, it makes little difference to the sum of your day. I don't expect you to respond again. I'll respect you and your opinion just as much either way. But I hope that at the very least, you take some time to consider what you can do to help the people around you create the industries we need.

    I do agree that we needed to take drastic action in order to change the course of our country. In fact, I actually don't like the tariffs because they're not nearly drastic enough. The shift towards internalizing our needs should have come by empowering our people, rather than pushing away aid.

    It's not a secret that trading internationally for 90% of our needs isn't exactly healthy for our longevity; but you can't take blood from a stone. The people need help to get to their next decade, their next birthday, their next check, even to their next meal for many. We should be demanding that the powers that be use their resources to create a workforce capable of doing anything, and facilitating itself. That starts with putting people to work, which means helping them off the streets so that they have an address to put on their resume at the very least.

    Have a great day.

  • Welcome to Lemmy. It sounds like you either come from a place of extreme privilege or you're not actually sure how the tariffs will affect the people.

    The idea behind the tariffs is fine. They want to drive union Members (fun fact, did you know that that's how the founding fathers referred to citizens?) to buy and trade locally. However, many of the products we use in our day to day life come from industries that don't exist in the US yet, and it will take years to create the required infrastructure and factories and farm land in order to create those industries.

    Effectively, the tariffs would have been fine. If the US had actually been prepared to take care of itself. But it's not, and it won't be for a long time. So, the tariffs only exist as an extra tax right now.

  • We largely see the show from the perspective of Brain. It's not unbelievable that Pinky, or some of the "stupid" things he says are hallucinations, whether visual or auditory and that Brain attributes his hallucinations to Pinky's "stupidity" due to the Dunning-Kruger effect.

    Obviously, this is a death of the author interpretation but... I think we all died this year anyway so that feels alright

  • I banned myself off Reddit. Deleted my 10 year old account because fuck em.

    I didn't, unfortunately, obfuscate my comments before deleting them. However, I find solace in thinking that there is a small win in leaving all of that socialist propaganda in their training data

  • I think that we're not actually disagreeing, if I'm reading this right. My point about social needs was mostly to do with social media. I could blab some science about how that affects our social needs, but that's not what we're really focused on from what I can tell.

    We're both suggesting reducing/moderating our usage of corporat bullshit and particularly American corpos.

    However, there is one thing that I noticed which I feel like you misunderstand, or perhaps I misunderstand you.

    Stress and long hours in the job and they spent all their money in "stuff"

    These are definitely not social needs, but a symptom of the lack of social needs being met. Humans crave companionship, and many people seek that in their items. I think you and I are similar in seeing the absurdity in this, but it appears that you find it more annoying than I do. There is one more layer to this, though, which we're probably intentionally ignoring; American corpos have monopolies in many areas. I know people who literally do not have access to anything other than corporations

    You could have made that more clear. You came off quite pointed.

    I'm starting to get tired about the...

    Lost me. People are doing what they must to stimulate their social needs. Let me say that again social needs. It's not an option for humans, we get depression and shit. We have to buy in to the bullshit at least a little bit because that's the system we live in, the best we can do is change it from within or start a revolution. If you're not starting the revolution, the best thing you can do is bitch about shitty circumstances until someone with the vindication does start the revolution

    And how do you know that the person you're responding to doesn't shop locally or work for a locally owned business? Some people practice their politics instead of just spouting nonsense

  • OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power

  • I'm just gonna chalk this up to you not understanding my points literally at all and stop having this conversation. You are insufferable to talk to and outright refuse to see my point at all.

  • You're giving the wrong reinforcement for the wrong reason. You're afraid of what they may do in several years, so you're negatively reinforcing the good decision they're making right now. You should, instead, give them positive reinforcement for making good decisions so that they continue to make good decisions. What you're currently doing is discouraging them from making public statements about their policy changes.

  • Okay, fine. I'll do big words with you.

    Let's talk about the difference between Ethics and Morals. Ethics are what you individually follow, it's your Ethos. Morals are what a society follows.

    It may be morally correct to say that "people should be allowed to do as they please" while also ethically correct to say "you shouldn't disrespect people's wishes."

    You're right, that it is moral for someone to imitate art. At least, in our culture. But that's because most people follow the ethos that they can do and take as they please. I personally hold myself to a higher standard than that, and I hope you can do the same some day.

    Edit to add: Fuck the golden rule. Follow the Platinum rule.
