I think the big problem with this, as far as I know, is that this code needs pretty rapid security updates that require a fairly huge and experienced team of people to both find, understand and implement the security changes. Otherwise it becomes very insecure very quickly. So yeah we can always use 2019 Android, etc. But it would just put you at a huge security risk.
Isn't this not that dumb of a reason? Look at it this way. The summit is to make clear and solidify the new ideological direction of the entire military. I think it's pretty scary still.
I feel like Peertube just needs one big creator to hear about it and start posting exclusive content there and suddenly it could really take off. A lot of big YouTubers could easily run their own instance which would surely be very appealing to them. Yes, there's no ad revenue, but I feel like the YouTuber game is all about Patreon type stuff now. Maybe I'm wrong.
Just because the doomsday cultists happen to share the same name for their beliefs as people who are substantially less insane than them
Yes, the other Christians are who I am referring to here. Although I do believe that the fundamental way of religious thinking (belief contrary to logic) does inevitably degrade into the behavior of the doomsday cult, in the same way that a seed inevitably becomes a plant given the conditions that it latently seeks out. So while I do not hate your everyday type Christian, I do think it is important not to create the conditions that they seek out, as that will result in a hate-worthy entity before long. The particular conditions, I believe, are an environment where they cannot be questioned, an environment where logical thinking is not valued, an unequal ability to disperse their beliefs while others cannot, etc. Given those conditions, harmless beliefs will expand to become harmful beliefs in the same way a liquid conforms to whatever container you put it in. This goes for any kind of belief, not just religious ones. But religion is a smart enough meme to encode the importance of creating that environment as part of its core values, which makes it a belief that is at especially greater risk of degrading into harmful behavior. This much is undeniable, as you hardly ever see people getting in doomsday cults over their favorite type of cheese or other non-religious beliefs.
So no, I don't mean all Christians, but in the same way that all Christians think I deserve to go to hell in my current state but may still treat me with kindness in hopes of what I may become, I believe all Christians deserve to be treated with suspicion and wariness in their current state in hopes of what they may NOT become. All things considered, I think it's a pretty de-escalating stance for me to take.
Yes I feel like our culture could do a better job of "preemptive grieving", which I believe is sort of the implication of what you're getting at here.
When Shatner dies, there will be such a lovely outpouring of support and kindness and reminiscence for him. But on his birthday just the year before that, where will that be? Nowhere really, or at best in drastically reduced quantity. The vibe of the birthday before most people's death, I think quite sadly, is something of like " wow, congratulations! It's so great that you're still here!! Let's all keep rooting for you to make it another year!".
But wouldn't it be nice if we had something sort of like "preemptive funerals", and people could actually get to witness all that while they're, y'know, alive to witness it. Interesting...
You are wise indeed, but if you had gone even further on your journey of discovery, you would find that actually you are also wrong and my opinion is even more right. Unfortunately, the proof is too large to fit in this comment, so you will have to struggle in your idiot's slumber for some time longer until you discover the vital truth that I cannot be bothered to supply even a passing hint of a justification for
Yeah lol I love the sentiment of this meme but the understanding of, and I don't even want to call it economics.... The understanding of the fundamental nature of scarcity, and human cooperation and collaboration, that this displays...is disappointing.
We could make the same meme about any organized exchange of human energy, even without any money.
"I spend 10 hours harvesting potatoes.
I give my neighbor the potatoes, saving him ten hours of work.
My neighbor uses his extra 10 hours to fix my roof."
This is just like...the literal nature of reality. Energy is transferred between different subsystems within a system, according to how much the subsystem is capable of demanding or receiving energy. This could be funnier if all the companies were owned by one larger company, but even then it wouldn't be a particularly deep insight. That would be the same sort of thing as a family member gifting you $100 for your birthday and then you gift them $100 for their birthday later in the year. At the very first glance it seems circular and pointless, until you realize that you're basically temporarily allocating additional resources to someone for them to use for a certain amount of time, and then reallocating them to someone else at a later point when you no longer need that surplus.
It's actually quite reasonable as a principle. The fact that the particular instantiation of this principle in the case of AI technology may be fruitless and not socially beneficial is NOT an essential flaw of the principle but rather an incidental flaw in the principle's actualization in this particular case.
Very noble. But I come to you from Sort By New only as a visitor. Unfortunately as I don't wish to establish a link between my Reddit and Fediverse identity, I will respectfully refrain 🙈
It is so utterly insane that so many humans that I share this planet with are basically in a doomsday cult, and what really gets me is that you're considered an asshole or an extremist if you ever say something like "I hate the doomsday cult and the people in the doomsday cult are stupid". You get called intolerant etc etc. You're damn right I'm intolerant of a bunch of morons who have literally no incentive to care about the long-term well being of our planet and species. Just because the doomsday cultists happen to share the same name for their beliefs as people who are substantially less insane than them does not mean that they get a pass on being insane or that they get to be entitled to the same degree of respect that their less insane counterparts are entitled to.
I'm tempted to say well, at least they also want the Epstein files to be released. But the people with this type of mentality are just going to sit around waiting for some literal miracle to take place to release the files, because they believe in miracles and that's not an irrational plan of action as far as they're concerned.
Exactly lol. Kind of paradoxical thing to ask in Reddit. I technically still have a Reddit account, but it feels like that meme of the guy putting on the hazmat suit to log into it. I'm not going to log in just to link this thread there, but maybe if there's more responses in here someone more charitable than I might link it.
My easy protip for being purely on fediverse: have no friends.
Okay, but jokes aside, maybe consider seriously paring down your friends circle. I have basically three friends that I stay in relatively frequent contact with. All of them use Signal and I can communicate with them however I want there. Hence I have zero need for Facebook or Instagram or Tiktok, or Snapchat, or Twitter. Let me tell you how nice it is to never be on any of that bullshit. Whenever I see someone else on it and really get a picture of what the experience is like, I want to blow my brains out within just a few minutes. I understand how it can feel real and authentic and valuable while you're in the middle of it, I used to be on Facebook too long ago. But this is no different from the people in Plato's cave feeling that the shadows on the wall are real. Once you've seen the real world in the real sunlight, you can't go back.
Really ask yourself if the 50 people that you "stay in touch with" on social media really constitutes staying in touch with anyone, or if you both just sort of mutually stalk each other from afar, transforming your relationship into a parasocial one completely unnecessarily. I'm sure some people really do have more than 20 people that they actually talk with frequently and like to stay in close touch with, but I bet that it's only a very small percentage of the people who think that's them. I will always sing the praises of aggressively pruning the friend group down to the best of the best. It's already hard enough to find time to hang out with two or three people frequently enough to really feel close to them, while also having your own interests and things like that. There is limited time to go around and limited time in life, and I would rather have really deep meaningful connections with a few people than shallow connections with a ton.
People of any race can be Muslim. When someone says "Christians are all crazy" do we say that they're racist towards white people just because the majority of Christians are white?
So then why is it that when someone implies that Muslims are all crazy we assume that that is racism at work?
And it's not exactly a random thing to bring up. Rapture is supposedly going to apply to Christians so even if it did happen, theoretically the Muslims would be left behind, and so in the context of the comic posted that says all the religious wackos are gone, he's pointing out that they wouldn't all be gone.
I'm lost on what is racist about this. Could you please explain?
A deep insight indeed. I often think that paradoxically, people's feelings would be better off without others trying to preemptively take care of those feelings. Of course, there is a balance.
I know this is really serious but the title makes it sound like they're some kind of invading alien army approaching from the ocean, and every day they draw closer
Calling a person that literally got a hole shot through them a "man of steel" has to be the most perfect microcosm of Fox's entire reporting style, lmao.
"Compelling evidence of XYZ actually PROOF of Not-XYZ upon closer inspection"
Now come to think of it, couldn't any website have dangerous scary material for kids? In fact, really the whole Internet could! In fact!!! Oh my gosh! Even your house could have really scary bad things for kids in it conceivably. I suppose we will have to put ID badge readers on everyone's front doors now. And cameras of course. We should probably even put cameras in the children's bathrooms to make sure nothing bad is happening to them in there.
