  • Haha, the chat system? That will be a shitshow. Oh my, thank you dessalines@lemmy.ml for creating an alternative. :)

  • Lol, first I hear about paid subreddits (I am not much on reddit since they ended 3rd party apps). This might actually be the end of reddit, if they are really that dumb.

  • Nah, that is not really true. There has been a significant bump due to covid, but before covid IQ test results have shown constant improvements.

    That said, I don't think IQ and political idiocy are that strongly correlated. I've met a lot of highly trained people, who would doubtlessly get great IQ test results, who are politically extremely gullible.

    That also said, IQ tests are a quite flawed way to assess intelligence.

    My personal believe is: This is not about people getting dumber, but about propagandists getting better. I also think that unsteadiness is a way better catalysator for fascism than low intelligence.

  • That was pretty much what I meant.

  • Lots of the money comes from the US and US companies. But as you said, it is open source.

  • Linux was awesome 15 years ago. They probably just had driver problems. Those used to be much worse.

  • I get most of my work done on friday afternoons. It is also the only time of the week when I actually enjoy work. Finally I can relax, knowing the phone won't ring. (And I start feuds with anyone who calls me on my workphone on friday afternoons!).

  • P (And E) are for stochastic functions.

  • I was sitting next to my wife for a few hours talking to her (we brought food and so on, so no need for me to go anywhere).

    I mean, I would have had time to play games, but I doubt I'd still be married. Tbf, I never even thought about that possibility before seeing this post.

    I could maybe understand it, if it was a problematic pregnancy. Like, the wife of a friend of mine had to lie in a hospital bed for several weeks before giving birth to reduce the risk of premature birth. You'll want to spend as much time there as possible, but after sitting in a room together for weeks, this might start to sound like a good idea,

  • I have a kindle, but I never buy my books at Amazon. I just but them elsewhere, de-DRM them on calibre and copy them to the kindle. Not as comfortable, but okay for me.

  • First, what laws are violated? Doubt international law touches this, US law maybe?

    edit: Why the F do you downvote me? This is an honest question. I really dislike Trump, but I don't see what laws this violates, except maybe US laws regarding the separation of powers-

  • My father was always going on about how stupid it is to buy a car designed by computer scientists and electrical engineers. He himself is an electrical engineer who has a PhD in computer science. He might have been on to something.

  • They really do take 80s and 90s dystopian movies as inspiration. Almost funny how ridiculous unimaginatively evil that are.

  • I feel personally attacked, I agree with the article, but painfully so.

  • Aren't the algorithm in use pretty much scientifically published?

    When I heard there is a chinese one I was mostly surprised that other people were surprised.

  • Would be more efficient if she'd also smoke 30 cigarettes a day.
