Geez, so a machine learning platform can now get a job as a product manager?

If they hired a human product manager, would the salary be the same?

What is it going to do with the money?

Everyone but me has the option of being out of my arm's reach.

What the flux do you need a pen for? Now, let me show you these unique single pixel NFTs...

Some social media focus on people, some on subjects.

One type tends to create "influencers" and circle jerking opinion bubbles, the other forces you to interact with different opinions around subjects you like.

I hope Lemmy stays on the second type.

Besides, with the volatility of instances, and user logins not being universal across instances, Lemmy also makes it harder to do that, and as a bonus devalues karma hoarding.

I've never heard of it, but my thought when I read it was that it sounds like a bad respiratory tract condition. "The MRI revealed Jack had a 5cm Pleroma in his left lung. Stage 4. It was too late for Jack."

Agreed; I was going to comment something similar: I work with SAP (SAP's HANA database runs on SUSE). When I need a free swrver OS for anything else, I go debian (I used RH from 4.2 to 8.0 when they fooled us once, then went debian).

So being comfortable with a rpm based and a deb based system is good advice.

On the server side, when most administration is through ssh, distro differences are not as relevant as for GUI environments. Package handling is the most impacting difference (and I prefer deb), not that it's a showstopper, when you have yast and aptitude though.

My mother always voted center-left, I always voted center-right (this is not the US, we have some 40 parties), my sister voted left when young, then center-right after she started paying taxes.

We lived in the same home, we made healthy fun about each other's candidates.

We were all stubborn and we all knew it. We did not "respect" each other's opinions (we made fun of them), but we respected each other's right to have stupid (in each other's point of views) opinions. We knew the differences between criticizing opinions and making personal attacks, between disagreeing and death wish.

I guess before social media convinced everyone they're the bearer and defender of the only absolute truth, people were just easier to talk to.

Well thank you; we then exchanged good thought sandwiches.

I think what we are musing about with this impossible situation boils down to defining the nature of conscience (awareness of existence), which has been discussed for centuries with no absolute single definition. If we could prove with no doubt that any of us is right or wrong, we'd probably be the first to get a Philosophy Nobel prize.

Entertaining human written read.

But if I'm going to be that reckless, I'd rather feel the forbidden joy of riding my motorcycle sans helmet!

No issue, I'm not confronting you.

imo we're having an interesting philosophical chat about a completely hypotetical situation, and I don't think there's a right or wrong. That's why I spread some "imo" around.

I just pointed out that if you consider that "you" didn't die because you are still the person on the other side, then when copies are made (something possible in that reality), then "you" become more than one person (split you, or split personality).

It all boils down to what we consider "I", I guess. It seems I consider "I" as a continuum from birth to death, a set of continuous conscience and experiences - if I'm braindead then start from scratch today, I don't consider that individual is "me" anymore; it's just my body, now belonging to another person. The previous "I" died, and even if others see that body as "me", for "dead me" that's not the case.

You on the other hand seem to consider that "you" are what you are at this moment. So the copies (or the single rebuilt if the transporter doesn't glitch) are not "you" anyway, because as you said, you are not the same person as a second ago, sitting in your couch. So dying here and being rebuilt there makes no difference.

Just different takes on "self" conscience.

But if your personality was transported to to two bodies, that is literally splitting a personality, which will diverge from there. Not the same meaning used for the term in real life, but effectively a splitted personality. If you have one somehing and it becomes more than one, it was split.

In one episode of startrek ng a glitch ends up creating two copies of Riker (transport is apparently aborted, he's recovered back to the ship, but the transporter on the other side materializes "him" too - bad handshaking in comms do that kind of thing in real life transactions too).

Both believed they were the original (and one believes he was abandoned on the planet).

Same goes for using it as a replicator (if the information can be sent as data, it can also be copied, stored and rematerialized multiple times). The aforementioned episode makes that canon.

Then if you're not dead, who are you after multiple copies are created? If your conscience was effectively transported to the copies, do you now have split personalities? Because each copy will live a different life from this moment on.

Assuming the original ceased to exist, and the other - or others - are copies is more consistent imo, because assuming you "are" the produced being on the other side doesn't work for multiple copies.

You're right, instant painless death, then no regrets (I'm assuming you - like me - don't believe im afterlife, or souls, as startrek style teleporters are incompatible with those).

But I don't want to cease to exist just yet.

If it opens a spacetime tunnel and I cross it with all my original atoms, yes.

If it disintegrates me to 3d print a copy on the other side, no.

It's "you" for other people, and even for the clone. But it's not "you" for your your present you, this "you" dies (in startrek style teleporter)

I use JuiceSSH (well, I use it for ssh, but it can also open a shell on the local device, so...)

Open a local shell, then

cd /storage/emulated/0

then use "find", for example

find . -type f -iname "*.jpg" | more

Nothing to write home about.

When slashdot was becoming too toxic, I went reddit. When reddit took away my Baconreader Premium, I went lemmy.

If I stop liking lemmy, I'll go somewhere else.

By that time, Antartica will be the place to go.

No, there are more than one species in the planet.
