  • Freecad has improved considerably in the last year, to a point where I've gone from saying I will wait to use it, to recommending it. It may actually have been designed for humans now.

  • Those things are not enshittification, enshittification is the process where a service becomes worse as a means to extract more value from users and then shareholders, where user does not just mean the classic consumer but ad sellers, data buyers, etc.

    Not all annoying features are enshittification, but enshittification is not just misfeatures.

    You may know all this but I felt your comment was not clear enough about the distinction.

  • While not going to go digging for any, it seems a tad naive to assume that there will not be any unnatural/paid posting on a platform this open and easy access. You should practice good information hygiene either way.

  • Quorum sensing does not require a conceptual framework of numbers. The conceptual framework is the harder part, your brain and many cells perform quorumsensing and computations all the time that you would find difficult to do by hand, or to do symbolically.

  • Do you have any sources for this fairly common naturally occurring biologically important, and in human uses bioinert metal causing "light metal poisoning" from either natural background doses or incidental from human pollution?

    I don't want acute poisoning, specifically sources on chronic background doses.

  • I'd argue corporations should strive to represent their employees. Corporations don't deserve to maintain anything, they aren't people and have no ethical status either.

    Nonetheless you're working double time to make sure the use of 'reasonable' with all its connotations is seen as acceptable here. Making sure everyone knows that you think this is normative.

    We will not reach a common ground.

  • In doing so you sacrifice the wealth and progress of the people you are colonializing. Like I said, broken window fallacy. Slaughtering while cultures doesn't actually as a rule lead to an increase in human wealth or progress towards this future.

    And "great person"ing Columbus who was more a bumbling symptom of the colonialist sentiment that already existed is silly. There would have been colonization without him. He's just the face that got to start genocides for Spain in the Americas first.

  • Digital data is extremely short lived. Unless it's being maintained well and copied, it will decay regardless of storage medium fairly rapidly. And as you point out data interface techniques are themselves quite short lived. Storing data as something accessible without specialist technology, so plainly readable, instructions on how to build the reader and decode the data, etc.

    Future technology may improve this by having historians interested in historical records wanting ways to recover it, at least.
