  • Leave hydrogen to its own devices for a few billion years, and that’s what you end up with 🤷

  • If you guessed it right, your inflexible implementation becomes an advantage against other inflexible implementations.

    There, I generated an AGI (actual grumpy ignoramus) summary for y’all.

  • A naive answer:

    Replace “Lemmy” with a “Nazi manufactured gun”.

    A less naive answer:

    Consider various meanings “use” takes in your question and decide accordingly.

  • First, Omarchy doesn’t need funding or partners. It’s backed by a Nazi multimillionaire.

    Second, the whole apolitical argument is bullshit. Everything is political. Support for a distro that doesn’t really need support by nature of being a child of a Nazi multimillionaire is a support for that Nazi multimillionaire.

    “We didn’t support them because of that” means nothing. The support still sends a message. Just like artist loses control over interpretation of their art the moment they release it, people lose control over interpretation of their actions the moment they act. Does it sound fair? Maybe not, but it’s how reality works.

  • He’ll rather gain strange kinks. Losing weight with Polish cuisine is impossible.

  • Reality is, outside of speciation events, vast majority of traits are neutral. And humanity hasn’t really faced a speciation event yet. We’re isolated as a species on our branch because everything else either died out or merged with us, not because we got forced through an evolutionary bottleneck.

    It’s compelling to try and attribute inquisitiveness and borderline suicidal drive to explore to ADHD, but such attribution can be made to a number of traits with the same level of credibility - namely, “we don’t know but it sounds nice”.

  • That’s a nice story, but it reeks of trying to set a narrative to evolution.

    Meanwhile, for the actual evolutionary process ADHD doesn’t have to be beneficial at all. As long as it’s a not-too-crippling side-effect of beneficial mutations, it gets a pass.

    But then why are we bringing evolution into this story? ADHD is highlighting a problem with a way faster process than that one. Specifically, how the hell are we modifying our societies that a significant percentage of population whose behaviour you can find enshrined in anecdotes suddenly finds themselves constantly overwhelmed by normalcy?

    PS: Dopamine starvation hypothesis doesn’t seem to have evidence backing it and looks to originate from influencers, not scientific process.

    PPS: Self-correction, dopamine theory is older than influencing - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1652243/. Yes, I’ve got ADHD, how did you know?

  • Power users rebase with squashes and fixups multiple times a day. Especially if the job’s integration process isn’t enforcing long living branches.

    Reflog is useful then, because you literally rewrite history every rebase.

  • They are too busy renting prisons in Estonia.

  • This is one of those times when the attempt to address the wrong part of a statement immediately goes into Ackermann-like recursion.

    The only irony present is the pretense of validity of the supposed contradiction.

  • I love the choice of standard to hold yourself up to.

  • It did solve my impostor syndrome though. Turns out a bunch of people I saw to be my betters were faking it all along.

  • Do not visualize wealth as volume, it vastly understates the disparity. Represent linear things through linear analogies for comparison purposes.

  • Most countries actually do recognize Palestine as a sovereign state. Ukraine is one of them too.

    Bringing Israel—the country that acts almost indistinguishable to Russia from day one—into this argument wasn’t a good idea.

  • Cryptos are not anonymous. A currency based on an open publicly negotiated and independently verifiable transaction ledger is antithetical to anonymity.

  • This digital euro is specifically about having a single eminent control and track your money even at rest - something Visa and Mastercard would gladly sacrifices a population of a medium sized country to achieve.

  • G-d, how the hell is “mastercard and visa are monopolies” used as a reasoning for surveillance currency?

    Have Danes been visiting ECB lately?

  • Any claim of universal system of morality existence shatters at the minutest contact with history.

    The idea of morality is dominant and potentially universal across human societies. The actual definitions are invented and reinvented constantly and fairly rapidly.
