  • I feel like we should at least consider that DJI is a mainland Chinese company and nearly all drone innovation in the past decade has originated there. They are no strangers to extreme manufacturing or advanced automated drone technology.

  • The moment I start to think about meditating, my mind explodes with alternative ideas until I forget. In fact it's so efficient at not meditating, that even though I have time and space set aside for it daily on my calendar, some subprocess in my brain still often subverts the whole thing. It's a scary place before I get there.

    But I have never once completed a meditation that I regretted. Even the meditations that are difficult to get through - usually because my mind is really jumpy - still feel like a nice piece of self care at the end.

    I think the more routine the practice, the easier it is to start and better your mind becomes at focusing on your breath without allowing all the various stressors of the moment take control. And that is a powerful muscle to build up.

  • I thought by now we'd have seen a fuckton of celebrity deepfake nudes and rule 34 porn of every variety, plus apps that let incels create it from pics of their high school crushes/enemies, but it seems like that tidal wave hasn't hit yet.

    Or perhaps the legal protections arrived just in time to discourage those with the know-how

  • Scientifically speaking, is interesting that the Japanese meteorological department can suggest there's a heightened risk at the moment. Maybe dangerous construction or nuclear facilities could enact some precautions or delay some activities?

    But I don't understand how that information is actionable. It looks like some beaches were closed where tsunamis could be particularly deadly.

    But what are the people supposed to do? And for how long?

    The article mentions that a large quake follows a 7.x quake maybe one out of several hundred times.

    So is Japan going to issue these warnings hundreds of times before there's any result? That is kind of the definition of a warning that people ignore.

  • Does anyone remember the inside jokes in the early days of reddit?

    When does the narwhal bacon? Orangered Chuck Testa!! Ridiculously photogenic guy And of course the long list of meme-level posts like broken arms, cumbox, celebrity AMAs

    This type of community humor made a lot of people feel like they'd found their tribe on reddit in those early days.

    I haven't seen much like this develop on Lemmy yet, possibly because there's so many disparate communities merging. I'm not really sure. Or maybe all those 20-something redditors are now pushing 40.

    I think it will take a while for a lemmy culture to develop and the community won't attract outsiders much until it does.

  • Coming from an entrepreneurial background, I tend to lean towards the advantages of allowing high economic growth incentives for the people who invent or improve on things in the world. I think this is the best incentive structure ever conceived for promoting advancements.

    But more and more I realize that as a society we need stronger antitrust controls to keep the behemoths from becoming modern day fiefdoms.

    If a company corners a market, it should be pushed into divesting so that it doesn't become a black hole and vacuum up everything around it, which inevitably leads to bad outcomes.

    This kind of a policy could serve to reboot the investors so they have to go back and invest in something new or competitive again, rather than horde it.
