I too would wear a mask, headphones and probably a sleepmask if I were forced to sit next to someone who enjoys Ayn Rand.

Does such an angle exist from the google perspective? Probably.

Is it 'just' this and nothing else, I'd argue no.

Matters tend to be more complex than simple black and white statements.

I for one think Mozilla is one of the most visible actors with regards to privacy promoting thought and FOSS, with widespread 'mainstream' reach. If it wasn't for Firefox I'd have to use chromium for instance, and that would make the world a sadder day.

I do agree that funding from google is an obvious conflict of interest and probably influences policy in a way not a 100% aligned with humanitarian goals. This is definitely less than ideal and I think everybody involved on this side of the fence would like to see that change. Maybe you could help them with that?

I don't understand this either. There's no fucking algorithm overlord here right? No fucking tiktok, youtube bullshit required.

If you want to say fuck, fucking say fuck.

On another note. Thx for introducing me to the robustness principle ♥️

I just lost it

I kind of like that tbh. I have identified as an anarchist/communist for over 25 years and even I thought the content at Lemmy was too much of a downer to be around too much.

The point is not the content per se, the point is nobody has any other incentive than to have a good time and share. Instead of the basic human desire to be social constantly being exploited for shiny fucking coins by robots and or psychopaths.

You pick the communities you like. Diversity is key.

There are however a lot of peer reviewed studies on 'believing in yourself' or 'self confidence' as our clinical psychologist friends would call it. Of course there is still an ongoing replication crisis in the whole field of psychology but that's a story for another time (read: your philosophy of science class).

What astonishes me most is that at least half of you are probably highly paid engineers that are debating this on company time instead of using your brainpower for actual problems.

I like it!

Also I choose spices for instant riches and laser for burning out the eyes of my enemy to solidify my identity as a magician. After that we can finally focus on growing weed and mushrooms because y'all know 5 tanks ain't gonn last long.

Ahhh yes the tampon phase. I remember those days.

Although in 2024 I would recommend anyone to be done with smoking and buy a vaporizer. Even if you don't consume as much, a dynavap is only 40-60EU, allows you to pretty much use any heat source, gives excellent vapor and is built to last.

Vaporents are the future :)

We've got one

That's why I am here tbh

I am just happy to be dancing for once.

You are saying this is a good thing right?

Cries in real estate value

Here we are all on the spectrum my friend.

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler"

I 'am' an anarcho-communist and I don't like libtards. Libtards to me are 'progressive capitalists' that have no systemic insight what so ever and think all it takes to bring upon heaven on earth is to try and be nice.

I mean, you should try and be nice obviously but you are not going to soy latte your way outta this my dudes.

The one word more people need to know about: threatmodel

You are saying destroyed, as if the job itself is a service. Work is cost not value. You automate work so you can use your energy in more valuable ways (best case scenario having a good time and caring for eachother).

The fruits of automation being distributed unfairly is another story. Inequality is a political reality, not a technical one.

However luckily this problem will be shortlived probably since we end up like bugs compared to AI real fast...

Define difference. For me personally it's pretty cool to finally have some sort of community that seems like minded on at least the surface level instead of just constantly being stared at as if I were a fish who just questioned the usefulness of water.

Will it spontaneously make come about utopia? Probably not but if that's your lower bar for doing anything I'm pretty sure you are gonna have a bad time.
