  • Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it

  • Our cogs do not feel amplified.

  • Those who've switched to Linux in the last year, how is it going?

  • For an extra answer, GrapheneOS is based on stock Android, in contrast to the Linux-phone options they mentioned. Since it's only (officially) supported on Pixel phones and focuses on security and privacy more than other customization, it's actually the most stable and easy transition I've made, coming from an Android phone already. Installer is super easy compared to other phone OSs I've tried, you can do it by connecting the phone to a computer, opening https://grapheneos.org/install/web , and just pressing buttons to do all the normally-complicated steps. I was very impressed with that.

  • How do you discover new music while avoiding AI generated ones?

  • It's much easier to find organic art in a community, outside the art industries.

    Sure, unless you set up a lot of subscriptions it won't just come on a consumption conveyor belt, and some people might want or expect that, but it's much better to be in a place where you're actually interacting with artists.

  • This post just gave me flashbacks to when I was trying to make a custom Plymouth boot logo on QubesOS and kept having to restore from backup after bricking.

  • I don't think ICE is the Gestapo. It's much worse.

  • I don't understand how your point should be applied to reality.

    Are you suggesting that we shouldn't mention relevant history to the people who don't research it on their own?

    Are you suggesting we should ignore history and use the word 'gestapo', which the Average American you're describing wouldn't understand either?

    Are you suggesting that everyone should dumb themselves down to the level of this Average American so they don't get annoyed by us?

    I'm not saying this to argue, I seriously want to understand the issue you have with this video correcting a historical misunderstanding and providing education to its target audience.

  • Gestapo literally means “secret state police”.

    IMO this is like saying "Nazi literally means someone who is strict on rules" and "Socialist literally means someone who wants to share all the money around". It's true colloquially, but that's also a crude abuse of a term which actually refers to a real historical group. It's useless in a political context, and we should attempt to educate people about important things. The school system isn't doing it, and these issues are more relevant to the average American by the day.

  • It's an opportunity to say it once more: how the word "influencer" is used so casually and neutrally by everyday people baffles me. How long would it take to become normal if a few cute celebrities said "Hi, I'm a manipulator! I get paid to control public opinion for companies :D "

  • I think the description starts off too technical - "link aggregator" is correct, but not a term that many people know about. "Selfhosted" might even be lost on most people.

    Perhaps something more simple would help as a first introduction, there's plenty of opportunity for the more technical-minded to learn more. Maybe calling it a "network of content-sharing and discussion forums"? I'd love to put "decentralized" at the front, although I'm not sure how obvious that term is.

  • On no level do most accusations of “sealioning” seem to hold up to scrutiny, in my opinion.

    Agreed. While I haven't seen many accusations of it, all the ones I've seen have been false. And like you said, Lemmy has sufficient moderation that I've never seen it happen here.

  • Do we need more users ?

    Jump

  • As for the title question:

    Do we need more users ?

    We don't need more users. It might be nice, there are benefits, but we don't need it. I agree with you on not caring much about growth-as-a-target, "growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of a cancer cell". I was here years before the first big reddit exodus with the third-party API changes and I was having a good time back then too.

  • Are there countries/territories where copyright law is truly unenforced?

    Jump

  • Since the micronation is unrecognized, within the territorial claim of the UK and easily within reach of their law enforcement, I wonder what the Principality of Sealand would have to do before the UK attempt to enforce their laws on them. Would the huge pressure of recording and film industries have enough power to compel them? Sealand have gotten into serious armed shenanigans before, which if one chooses not to interpret their governance as valid, would effectively be ransom.

    Their wiki page mentions HavenCo, a data haven which apparently was operational for a few years.

    Jump

  • Good example, with the caveat that one would still be subject to the intellectual property rights of Russians, and I'd assume of their allies. (I know I used Hollywood in my example, that's on me)

    Thanks for adding the source.

  • I'm not a soulist like the user you replied to, but for another perspective, mine is that rights are imaginary constructs which mean nothing if unenforceable.

    People have some rights to not be murdered; that's not an opinion if we have a compatible definition of 'rights', it's written in law, it's ingrained into mainstream liberalist social norms and ethics. So the right exists as a social idea which sometimes manifests in real consequences. However:

    • I can get murdered by the government or law enforcement who proclaim to enforce my right to not be murdered! It's a conditional right, not the idealistic universal right it's often made out to be.
    • And there are some people who I wouldn't really care if they were murdered. I don't weep for Wnssolᴉuᴉ's lynching. I don't mind that Ken McElroy's murderers weren't charged. Sometimes we just don't have the luxury or power to go through the ideal routes of justice. And to be clear I also don't advocate for murder for a big long list of reasons, many of them are obvious. For example, I think the assassination of Brian Thompson was morally just and cathartic, it stopped an antisocial social murderer who would not have been held accountable by law, and the fear it created may feasibly have saved some lives of UHC customers in the short term, but ultimately I do not advocate for such adventurism as it's proven historically to do little to create long-term systemic improvements, and can easily go wrong and cause more damage than benefit, as we saw with the "golden age of Propaganda of the Deed".
