There’s things that I like about myself that I cannot put into words; it’s more a feeling.

The nazis, too, had a lot of power and yet they lost WW II.

it’s called the Paradox Of Tolerance.

Yeah there’s actually documentaries about this: like this (it’s in german though)

… hearkens back to basic Judeo-Christian values of kindness, human dignity, humility and prosperity.

yeah sorry i didn’t mean to sound rude. It’s just that I’ve heard too much “corporate bullshit talk” that i can’t just stay calm when i hear it.

… and get excited about all the things you’re going to accomplish.

Question: why do you always have to accomplish something?

in other words, an asshole

The technological innovations of the last fifteen years, from advertising enshittifcation to AI cheating, have largely been a disaster. We are sadly at the point where, as Ted Gioia says, “most so-called innovations are now anti-progress by any honest definition.” I dare say that if we could revert all digital technology to where it was in 2009 – before the invention of the retweet – we’d all be better off.

I’d go back even further (to 2007) before the invention of the iPhone. The smartphone has, arguably, IMO been a bad, or at least premature invention. It created a generation of kids obsessed with their photographies, giving girls eating disorders and creating/spreading unrealistic beauty ideals, etc… Also it has severely disrupted teenagers’ social living, created sleeping disorders, chronic doomscrolling, addiction, and more bad stuff. The iPhone was, IMO, not ready for this world.

Yeah at this point peertube is mostly a video hosting system. We still need a good discovery/finding/recommendation system. I think that could be independently developed; for example: upload the videos on peertube and then link and post them here on lemmy to promote them.

I was going to upvote but then:

Hopefully it will start leaning into its unique strengths now and become really innovative.

Please stop the corporate garbage talk/pitching bullshit. Can’t we have a normal discussion without these buzzwords?

So I feel like I’m doing peertube wrong. I’m trying to find good content, but it feels like every single instance I find is just “here’s the linux news, here’s the new linux tips, here’s the linux gossip, linux linux linux!” And I do not give a shit about linux. I just want to find the non-tech, non-video game content.

There’s also https://pony.tube ;-)

Why are politicians doing nothing for first time home buyers?

Why aren’t universally some laws against home flipping and people owning more than one residential property? I think the right of having a roof over your head is a basic human right and every person out there deserves to have a decent home and not be forced to live on the street.

Because that would be socialism, obviously!

isn’t that why the hippie movement ended?

btw I read the guardian a lot, and they have a lot of good articles.

my dad uses this LLM python code generation quite routinely, he says the output’s mostly fine.

Yeah I guess there are some phenomenons that I haven’t considered. But are they really strong enough to stop the game?

I have already excluded that frame-dragging/emission of gravitational waves stops the game, because the emission of gravitational waves reduces the energy from the system, but the effect is stronger if objects are closer by. when the distance between them is larger, gravitational waves become negligible. hubble expansion, on the other hand, becomes stronger on larger scales. so at some point, it’s larger than the loss due to gravitational waves.

explain entropy though, where’s thermodynamics in the game?

I don’t like saying it because people get very emotional and unreasonable about this but:

These things were normal a long time ago. It’s only been in recent years, especially starting from the 1960s, that moral panic took over and these things are looked at now as “a crime”.

To me personally, settling mars has nothing to do with colonialism, or capitalism, or hookers and blackjack. It’s about the fact that humanity is like a steam engine, and somebody threw too much coal into that thing. Now it’s cooking hot, and one way to keep it from exploding is to “release steam” (in a metaphorical sense). That means, settling off to some other planet.
