BS. One new CD is at least 10$. A good band collection is then a year worth of subscription fees. So, do you only listen to a few bands?

Before Spotify I pirated everything. In lossless, ofc. I had 200GB of music, it wouldn't fit on my ipod classic, and I still was limited.

I pirated at least a lifetime worth of Spotify premium and yet when I switched to Spotify I discovered so many more artists like the ones I already liked. If I now tried to buy all the songs I've listened to more than once in the last 5 years, I'd go bankrupt.

Spotify is way cheaper.

(now add ease of discovering new music, listening to whatever your friends want to listen to in a car, collaborative playlists, etc etc)

we absolutely couldn't now run a few experiments and estimate the weights from them. No that's some sorcery.

wth, no docker?..

You have correctly identified that it's not a lack of technological advancement that is holding our society back.

Now go solve social sciences, economics, psychology, and neuroscience. Come back and we'll talk about how to design a world where nobody happens to install a motion sensor with a wrong range.

Went to check. Turns out this time it's not the case.

The Museum's founders were very much aware that a large majority of mining communities around Appalachia and, indeed, around the state and nation no longer exist. Many individuals who grew up in these coal camp communities now have sons, daughters, and grandchildren who have grown up hearing the stories about what life was like in the coal camps. However, for many of those people who want to share that coal camp experience with their own children and grandchildren they cannot go home again, because so many of the state's mining communities have been abandoned and torn down. It was with this thought in mind that the Museum's collection was assembled and is housed in the wonderfully-restored Benham company store.

The goal in the development of the Museum, was to tell the story. It is the story of coal in Kentucky, and the story of the thousands of workers, most of who came from the Deep South and Eastern Europe to escape poverty, and build a better life for their families. Their stories are told at the Kentucky Coal Museum, perhaps as well as they are told anywhere in the world.

It's a museum. It doesn't say "coal mining is a great technology of the future". It says "here's this thing of the past we used to do". Or do you also expect a paleontological museum to only employ dinosaurs?

Because you will suffer and then you will be corrupted by the demon of shortcutting and never really understanding anything. Yes, embrace the evil! Or resist the temptation and train your spirit (nothing trains the spirit better than abstract infinite vector spaces).

Bite my shiny metal ass!

Don't forget E[X] <= max(X).

Oh boy (or whatever), OP, have you walked into the wrong neighborhood. Half of the userbase is trans, 99% are feminist. I'm not entirely sure how you got this 80% upvote ratio.

anyways, get the f out with your boomer jokes.

Meh. I'd say we tie him to a post and burn the heretic.

wow, look at this welcoming community. 4/1 to this guy.

I understand, you democratically represent lemmy. Be happy in your echo chamber.

I'm pro universal basic income and a 99% tax after something around a few mil of annual income. I'd generally advocate for a societal system where such wealth accumulation by an individual is impossible.

"Lefties" like you make me sick to my stomach. You can only whine your jealous tears and complain about the housing market. You're the reason everyone thinks the left are a bunch of idiot kids in colorful clothes. In a utopic communist society you'd be leeching off while whining about how everyone keeps working even though it's clearly unnecessary.

this is a meta joke based on this video https://youtu.be/AdygBbbEnco

we got enough political BS all over the platform. But sure, I guess people who don't want to see repeated "capitalism bad" in every community in every post should just leave lemmy.

server-chan!

Lemme quickly get banned from this community.

You absolutely can democratically control it. All democracies on the planet have taxes. You can democratically elect a party that will impose a 99% corporate profit tax rate. Then you can democratically deside what to spend this money on. Maybe education, maybe defense, maybe tesla subsidies, your democratically elected government can decide. In fact, some countries in northern Europe sorta move in this direction.

If this has not happened in your country, it's because your voters don't want this. It's called democracy.

Oh, and because I absolutely certain you're from the US and will reply to this comment with your usual whining. No. You had Bernie Sanders, and ended up with Trump. And don't talk to me about 48% vs 52%. It should've been 2% for Trump, 98% for Bernie. And you would've seen your dreams come true. Democratically.

So, stop whining. Accept the truth: about half of the population of your country wishes the opposite of what you do. So your reality doesn't happen because they don't want it. This is called democracy.
