Fix some leaky pipes, the water pressure has been getting low seems like

And also all the people who said "you call everyone Nazis"

How did that turn out, huh?

For 1., also don't forget that major labour movements spring up during and after WW2, it's hard to say how much of a repeat that will be this time around, but the potential is there

And 2., I agree, I am concerned myself, especially with nukes these days

But on the other hand, economy, and reliance on globalized production chains, is so much more central to the core of a nation these days. It's not possible to just produce everything locally anymore, not like it was during WW2, anyway. everything is too hyper specialized for that now

So there is the potential that, if the US really does something very stupid and gets a complete embargo from the rest of the west, they're just going to get completely fucked (and so will the rest of the west, but you know). So the amount of damage they end up being able to do might end up being limited

Of course, China would benefit massively from this, as they do actually go heavy on self-sufficiency, and then there's the risk of Russia exploiting this as well, but the silver lining is that the US simply might collapse before it manages to do some real damage

In the end, I think the future of how the world will look like will be up to China. I really really hope that they end up having a massive democratic movement for the sake of the world, but we'll see. At least China so far still seems like a rational actor on the world stage, although still ruthless and self-serving, of course

If there's any consolation, I personally support asylum for Americans escaping political persecution for my country, I just hope that our government will act quickly enough for it, and the right not getting in the way

I expect a lot of, especially queer, people trying to escape, and I really hope we get something in place before it's too late

I mean, if you're going through tough times you do end up with a lot of personal experience with mental health struggles. That is experience you can then pass onto others

It's an authoritarian take

Tbh at this point, yeah, I'm probably more likely to have a d20 with me than a coin

I still have the hope that people see the trainwreck the US is now and go "oh shit", and try to avoid it

Sometimes you gotta move out and leave your roommate alone in the mess, for them to hopefully realize that they are the problem

So keep that in mind when interacting with the fediverse

These are public forums, it's almost the point for things to be public. You could argue that votes shouldn't be part of it, but ultimately due to the decentralized nature they must be communicated to all servers

To me nazi memorabilia would serve as a form of grounding more than anything else. Like, "yes, the nazis really did happen. And so did their horrible deeds. Do not forget this"

So, yeah, if I got some I would keep them as well, because its history, and it's important to remember history, and how it all can happen again. I struggle relating to any other way people would treat Nazi memorabilia honestly

You can get an uncensored local version running if you got the hardware at least

Yeah, It'd be ideal for FOSS AR to exist, and I would really love for that kind to be established

AR pretty much will happen, in my opinion as someone who roughly works in the field. It's probably going to be the next smartphone level revolution within two decades

I'm not commenting on whether it would be good or bad for society, especially with our current societal situations and capitalism and stuff, but I'm confident it will happen, either way, and change the word drastically again

I mean, in the end, I think it's literally an unsolvable problem of intelligence. It's not like humans don't "hallucinate" ourselves. Fundamentally your information processing is only as good as the information you get in, and if the information is wrong, you're going to be wrong. Or even just mistakes. We make mistakes constantly, and we're the most intelligent beings we know of in the universe.

The question is what issue exactly we're attempting to solve regarding AI. It's probably more useful to reframe it as "The AI not lying/giving false information when it should know better/has enough information to know the truth". Though, even that is a higher bar than we humans set for ourselves

Ooh, nice, thanks!

Yes exactly, so when they call it a "total heart replacement" I'd like to have clarification on it, so that I know how excited I should get

It's frustrating when articles on new innovations don't go into details about them at all except just "it exists" pretty much

It would be nice if the article said if the artificial heart includes functions such as pumping harder in response to exercise and such, because it isn't entirely clear if it does

Maybe it's implied, but I feel it should be explicitly mentioned

It's always funny to me when people call Linux complicated and in the next sentence say shit like that

As if doing registry edits and group policy stuff is acceptable for basic features and settings

He got terminal j k rowling disease 😔
