  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • No, I live in the EU, the same capitalistic problems exist here, they're just slowed down a bit due to social democracy. But don't get me wrong, the fundamental issues are here just as much as anywhere else on the globe

    Capitalism is not directly an ideology by itself, no, but it is a massive fundamental part of a given ideology. There's a reason most ideologies revolve around the economic system, because it's so pervasive in everything we do. From the things we do every day, to the way we interact with others, to the way we get access to resources and services we need and want, to where we live, to how we think

    What you need to keep in mind, is that under capitalism there will always be a profit incentive to undermine the system for even further profit. This is what collapses civilizations, this is what makes society fall apart in the long run

    Making a capitalistic economy work for the benefit of everyone, for the people, is like trying to swim upstream all the time, forever. It would be much much more internally consistent to just have a river you swim downstream with. In other words, an economy based on cooperation, not competition. A civilization based on competition is almost an oxymoron, civilization itself is fundamentally a cooperative environment. Why do we tack competition on top of that?

  • Regarding the capitalism part

    I'd say that what we see today is the logical conclusion of capitalism. In a way it's a broken system, it just takes time to collapse. But growing wealth inequality and consolidation of power are inherent problems in capitalism, and we were always going to see times like this. I mean, for further example, look at climate change and how it's damn near impossible to actually solve the problem

    It's more that there is little political will for an alternative system, but don't get me wrong, if humanity wants to survive in the long run, there is no easy way out. I seriously do think that, either humanity makes a global economy that serves people, and not capital, or we will self-destruct due to systemic incentives of the profit incentive
