• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How differently would have information technology developed if most of the world were under authoritarian regimes instead of liberal democracies? Would encryption have been more restricted?⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Before the rise of liberal democracies there where no billionaires though. If they never had existed the world might look different now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How differently would have information technology developed if most of the world were under authoritarian regimes instead of liberal democracies? Would encryption have been more restricted?⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  We actually have Indian numerals, we just call them Arabic because those are the people we copied them from. That was more than a millennium ago though, so how is it relevant to OP’s question?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How differently would have information technology developed if most of the world were under authoritarian regimes instead of liberal democracies? Would encryption have been more restricted?⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, most of the world is actually under authoritarian regimes and not liberal democracies.

  Not the parts where 90% of the research and development for our current information technology was done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You got it, buddy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re just assuming this is anti-male, without any context it might as well be a complaint about lack of sex education.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To what extent has Smartphones replaced Computers? Has Smartphones replaced Computers for you or people you know? Will Phones and Computers eventually merge into one device?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They will not be replaced because good luck trying to write code on a phone or tablet.

  With Linux phones coming up I can see that happening with a docking station to connect your phone to a monitor and keyboard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I’d prefer to retire earlier rather than later

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why are we eatings shrimps⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks more like a freshwater bug though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon watches The Whale⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to as well. Glad I can commute by train now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon watches The Whale⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Office space started me thinking about early retirement plans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can an American go to Europe just for cheaper healthcare?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To really take advantage of the litter prices you need to be at least a permanent resident of the EU, you can’t do that on a tourist visa, so it depends on your marketable skills if you can get a company to sponsor a visa for you.

  You really have no clue how much American “patriotism” is looked down upon on this side of the pool, do you? Nationalism is a nazi thing, no one who opposes nazis here would use a national flag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gayte⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really, they’re some sort of tube, but they don’t classify as straws

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re lying in at least two, but probably all posts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So close!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably oil

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would having two hearts be better or worse for the human body?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont think it will be beneficial. It w would probably cause hypertension. And it’s nooit like bodies have a lot of extra space now where you can fit a heart, so you’d be suppressing other organs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon can't go on a field trip⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All true, though i still found it fun to read when the books came out. At that age my critical thinking skills were not as developed yet, and since that age group is the intended target audience the popularity is not that surprising.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every toddler becomes a hackerman when they find a tablet⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have had a worrying amount of 40+ year old colleagues who dont know how directories work either. Just dump everything on the desktop. So I really doubt that has anything to do with tablets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say the biggest issue with generative AI is the energy use and the fact that it’s increasing the rate at which we’re destroying the climate and our planet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it so hard to buy the same toothbrush twice?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re supposed to use a toothbrush for no longer than 3 months. So either you use them to long, or you go to the dentist a lot more often than I do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sure thing, website, my name is Gabe Newell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Those notifications are sent by the flight company, not the airport. Airports often ask for an email address to let you access the wifi and then start spamming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I cut up pictures to arrange things in a way that when traced over create something "new," is that a copyright violation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the country you’re in, different places have different rules for ‘fair use’ or remixes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨doctors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re referring to BMI yes, but doctors tend to use body fat percentage, at least where I live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If someone is bullied to suicide/threatened to death, and they actually attempt something like that or die, will the person who told them to do so get charged?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That probably depends on the jurisdiction they’re in, as well as the amor of evidence available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thats fair⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, but happiness is a weird thing. After live changing events, both positive and negative happiness is impacted for a while, but after a couple of month most people gravitate back to their default happiness level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thats fair⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re in a first world country and making a decent salary that just becomes a lower chance of obesity and diabetes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thats fair⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does happiness increase or decrease with intelligence?

  Is there even a correlation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hasn't given up hope⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer Krita nowadays

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because people are idiots
