"I'd like to offer you a job, we're like a family here"

Family might have a fairly clear definition, but the word does get abused, and it is eating away at its meaning.

Is this not just vscode? Its definitely not eclipse, although from memory that could be served as a webapp through some fancy java to html thing.

One way or another, the server that hosts a resource can track who is requesting what. You as the server owner can just as easily track who is accessing what, but if you avoid using a CDN, then it limits the tracker to just yourself. The cost is that you'll have increased traffic, and there is always the suspicion that you may have tampered with the lightbox.js file to do something malicious.

On the self include side, the instructions you linked seem pretty straightforward, so it should be possible to use it that way. What is issue your facing?

In time only solved ageing, everyone was still mortal, so you could still die from a car crash or being shot. And there definitely was a tiered classes system in place, with the rich having more "life", and the poor literally living paycheck to paycheck.

I really liked it, should watch it again.

Are you referring to "In Time", or some other film? The Man From Earth is another interesting film about a singular immortal man.

There is heaps to unpack, it really is a complete game changer.

The other issue, is what about other animals. If they end up immortal as well, we'd be litterally drowning in any animals that breed rapidly, like rats, rabbits etc.

I was gonna make a joke about ending the abortion debate, but then I went down a rabbit hole:

Abortions procedures would still be a thing, but the fetus wouldnt die. Its just an extremely premature birth. That means that intentional pregnancies could be "harvested" early, for the fetus to grow up outside the mothers body.

Lots to unpack.

Seriously (or at least as serious as a hypothetical invinciblity/immortality scenario can be :D): food water and housing. You can live without most other things, but being cold, wet, starving and dehydrated will really make the eternity drag on :)

Separate comment, because I think it deserves its own discussion, but can there really be aging and illness? It might get a bit philosophical, but if all your cells stop regenerating and die off, eventually you'll end up a bit of ooze that can't interpret or perceive the world, so at that point you would be dead?

In my interpretation of the scenario, it would be like "in time", everyone grows up to 18 (or some arbitrary age), and then you are stuck like that forever after?

How are you envisaging it?

Right, but you either need to pay someone to do the torturing, or you have to do it to them yourself. If the former, how do you force that person to go along with it, instead of just rising up against you and taking your place? It only takes one guard to realise that with a bit of help from the invincible prisoners, they can successfully mutiny.

Invincibility (which is what I am asserting "no death" effectively is (open to interpretation)) effectively nullifies the threat of violence, which, when all else fails, is the only thing keeping things ordered.

Euthanasia is still death though, so unless live people are just going to crawl into a box and willingly never come out? And if they do get out, are they going to be okay with having being starved in complete isolation?

And where are their bodies stored? Outside of few exceptions, most human bodies decay away within a hundred years, so the grave sites can be reused, but you cant do that if someone's still in it?

If the world allows voluntary death, then it gets a bit easier to deal with though.

Its much harder to enslave immortal beings. How do you force someone to work in the mines?

UNLIMITED IMMORTAL CATS

I could have sworn that went through, thank you for correcting me. I'll delete the comment so no one else gets mislead

Unauthorised pregnancy. If no one can die, every new birth is effectively stealing from the limited pool of resources. Too many births, everyone starves, no one can die to ease the burden on the limited resources. Endless suffering for all.

If its truely invite only and not on the open web, then it would be unscrapeable regardless?

Microsoft own the discord platform, have an active relationship with OpenAI, and can scrape and bundle the data without using a web scraper. If you want to escape AI scraping, keep invite only, but maybe reconsider Discord? edit: not true, discord is separate to MS, sorry.

Only issue with this, is that the scrapers have no issue scraping the blackhole, so its really only punishing the humans who want to find the info

Depends if your name is Khaleesi, and how mad on power they get. Im willing to risk it though.

I'm sorry :( tell you what, when you run for president of the world, on a platform of "rename all Khaleesi's to Daenerys", I'll vote for you :)
