Matter replicators you would hope would bring about post scarcity and the kind of society you see in Star Trek, I have my doubts one would ever be developed without greed as a motivation though

Short of changing human nature I don't think even with all tthat tech we'd end up being a fair society, people would hoard energy, replicator tech, political power etc (unless it's so simple people could build them themselves I suppose)

How do you see something like that and your first thought is to respond with hostility

I would make the argument that even under perfectly executed communism space travel is unlikely to end up being the focus

Lshw, lsusb, etc and grep do that

I generally don't miss anything graphical, once I learn how to do something from the cli I rarely feel the need to do it graphically anymore as it's usually a lot slower

The obvious one would be Photoshop and paint.net of course but krita does the trick

I'm guessing Firefox's pdf editor is not sophisticated enough

Closest continuer doesn't really apply if the agent wasn't sentient in the first place

Who'd have thought not having explosions going off inside the car constantly would cause less wear and tear

That doesn't fit the definition of memory leak in my mind, had thought a memory leak was specifically when the program completely loses track of memory

I'm not in the US no, so far nobody has mentioned it in conversation

Fair I'm not really on any other forums anymore and I haven't heard anything about this CEO death until just now

The beauty of federation is that even if you're on a "dead" instance as long as you're federated with bigger ones it doesn't matter

That looks a lot like task manager, what tool is that?

Surely that's not a memory leak, that's just the program using a lot of memory intentionally

Thought the whole point was that it forced you to handle memory properly and automatically released things when they go out of scope

What kind of situation can cause a memory leak in rust

Lemmy is going to be exactly the same, super easy to scrape as it's all standardised and open

Itssss fine it's only the dev database I can drop this table

Looks like a reasonable meal

I wouldn't say I'm a nihilist, I still care about sentient life and am also a vegetarian so can't really say I don't care about animals

Just in the grand scheme of things if the earth blew up tomorrow it's no biggie for the universe

Generally put those kind of issues out of my mind by just reminding myself it's out of my control anyway

I would go a step further to say life isn't that important as a whole in the grand scheme of the universe

We as humans place value on it because we're part of it, we rely on it to carry on existing, and we're curious and find it interesting

Could argue that intelligence/sentience is important but it's only important from the perspective of beings with intelligence
