Btw fun fact I made this entirely in mspaint. Making the gradient was obnoxious since there's no actual gradient tool in mspaint (maybe the fancy new woke windows 11 version does but I'm on windows 10 where mspaint doesn't have "layers" or "text editing" or other fake nonsense). I made this meme in proper mspaint like god intended.
I had to look this up and Chidi is an obsessive(?) ethics professor from The Good Place. I should really get around to watching that show…
These are all from the book Ethics: Discovering Right and Wrong (Eighth Edition). It was written by Louis P. Pojman and James Fieser. Cengage is the company selling the textbook.
That final excerpt is from page 89 under the subheader "The Argument from Counterintuitive Consequences."
Anna's Archive has the pdf if you're interested in taking a look, but I don't think I can link to that directly.
The nuclear bomb and Hitlerite examples are from different pages. I was worried the phrasing would imply they were tied together, but the excerpt is elaborating on a different section of text right before it, which is different from the excerpt about Sally and the nuclear bomb. Sorry for any confusion there.
This was one of the discussion board questions we could choose from to answer this week:
- Examine the Galactican superrational counterexample. Would superrational beings be justified in treating us as we treat animals, even eating us.
No clue, but I don't believe the plan is to keep it paywalled when it releases out of alpha/beta.
I feel the need to clarify based on the phrasing of your response. Oculus Ameliorated doesn't replace SteamVR. It replaces the Oculus runtime so you can use SteamVR without the extra overhead.
Statistically you use an Oculus headset. Someone is currently working on a minimal runtime called Oculus Ameliorated that doesn't have the shitty Dash performance overhead. It's currently in Patreon-only alpha. Here's her Discord.
As someone else mentioned, Steam is still proprietary, but at least getting rid of the resource heavy Meta runtime for their headsets is something to look forward to.
you ar(ul)e alone in this
in all seriousness, i dont mind. i think it was a rule on the subreddit that you had to have it in the title
WHY IS HE SO BIG
what does this mean
To clarify, they're not going after patent trolls afaik, just going to court when they're targeted by them (instead of forking up a payment to the patent troll company to avoid that). Iirc, the last patent troll they took to court ended up collapsing and isn't operating anymore.
They misinterpreted "metaverse platform, mozilla.social" as a single item in the list, not as two items.
For anyone who isn't aware, Mozilla has a thing called Mozilla Hubs that could be considered a metaverse product

It's not overpopulation. We are seeing the results of late stage capitalism coming into effect. When you design the economy around an owning class vs a working class, the owning class will use its inherent leverage and capital to beget more leverage and capital. That happens at the expense of the working class. If your income mainly comes from working for money, you are part of the working class.
The obvious solution here is to change the economic structure to not have an owning class at all or at least to keep it in check, but liberalism is not good at keeping it in check and leftism doesn't have the momentum needed to change the world economic structure. Right now all we can do is make progress where we can, which means passing legislation that taxes and weakens the owning class in favor of supporting and empowering the working class through social programs and better pay and benefits. Unions will help you a TON here and more quickly than legislation, so look into joining/forming a union. Biden has changed the requirements for forming a union to make it really easy now. The other thing we can do is prevent fascists from tearing apart the systems we've built to allow that to even happen in the first place. That means not voting for or supporting right-wing politics.
None of this is caused by overpopulation, and the myth that overpopulation is the main source of your problems directly benefits the owning class who is currently winning the zero-sum dynamic of owning vs working class. That dynamic is the reason things are bad and worsening. Join a union and vote for the most progressive viable candidate in both local and federal elections.
While we're talking about asymmetric encryption, can someone explain to me why you can't decrypt information with the same public key that encrypted it? I understand the analogies (locks on a briefcase, unmixing paint, etc), but I can't "un-analogize" them to understand what's actually going on. Encryption keys aren't physical locks or paint. They're numbers(?). So why can I encrypt something by multiplying by a known public encryption key, but I can't decrypt it by dividing by that same known public key?

Amazon bought Twitch for its video live streaming infrastructure/tech, which at the time was unmatched. Now Amazon offers that infra/tech via AWS and anyone can spin up a Twitch competitor just as capable.
Amazon doesn't care about Twitch at all. Prime subs are just another benefit to make Amazon Prime more appealing to consumers, but iirc Twitch is the one who actually pays out of pocket for Prime subs.
In case nobody has mentioned Asahi Linux yet, I'll bring it up. I haven't used it, but I have a friend who does.
I believe they have a Fedora-based distro that should be solid for daily use, but again I haven't used this myself.
