Yeah! It's like just considering these things is fun and enriching. You might let yourself get swept away in the fantasy a bit, but ultimately you're telling yourself different stories.
So they only ever feel like stories, and not like, a whole to paradigm that you're going to flash your BIOS with rofl. Just maybe run it in a sandbox/cgroup and see if anything actually fun or inspiring comes out.
Yeah I remember loving all that conspiracy, X-Files, Umberto, past lives, lost cities, etc etc — all that stuff. But scratch at any of it and it's always some of the dullest, unimaginative reactionary bullshit just a hair's width below the surface.
Not to stereotype, but reminds of prison where everyone complains about capitalism without actually using that word (probably different now), but talk to them for more than 30 minutes annnnnd yup that's antisemitism again. Fucking hell.
Not everyone who doesn't understand ai is a troll, and there are legitimate reasons to want to avoid using it, even when it is useful. I've got you both tagged as "cool" on my client so I'm assuming you're both capable of chillness.
Not to high horse you, but maybe a little bit; the internet is a nice place when you don't immediately assume trolling because someone disagrees with you.
Oh my god that's so cool I wish I'd thought of it. It's similar to this idea I've been mulling over about a world where areas are fixed/dynamic based on how certain people are about them. But that is a better implementation than anything I sketched up.
I'm such a solipsist, I'm surprised reddit is still relevant to anyone. I certainly come across some posts when searching for tech or product questions, but that's it.
Although even outside of the fedi, I spend more and more of my time just looking at people's individual websites and blogs. I've got a basically bottomless RSS feed curated by this point, so I don't even need an aggregator for the scroll -- I've got my own.
Canada Post’s most recent financial report shows $1.3 billion in operating losses. But CUPW members say the corporation is using those losses as an excuse to avoid negotiating seriously.
Doesn't this really mean it costs 1.3B?
As The North Star has previously reported, a large part of these losses are tied to infrastructure investments. These expenses are normally amortized over time and not included in annual losses.
Yeah, so costs. Sneaky corp fucks.
Canada Post is also using this deficit to push for the “Amazonification” of its services …
I don't know what this means but including it because it sounds really really bad!
Depends what communities you frequent, I think. I'm still drinking from the "all/hot" firehose presently, but I see myself spending more time in the smaller communities as lemmy overall get bigger and more mainstream.
Also look at how FB et al can't even keep themselves from tracking you all over the internet using all kinds of clever engineering engineering beyond plain cookies.
If it actually becomes ubiquitous, the ability to tie all the anonymous impressions to one person is too tempting for surveillance ghouls.
If a person tells me their gender, how should I react/respond to it? Is my current line of actions appropriate (just address them with their preferd pronouns, and if I do not know that, use they/them; completely ignore the sexual part of it)
That's perfect. Many people struggle with this, myself included, but if you make an honest effort to address people by their preferred pronouns, then you're doing great.
Maybe referring to Flynn Taggart in the novels? Haven't read any doom in a while, I must confess…
