I’m sceptical about all this. In fact, I’m sceptical about everything!
- Comment on Do you feel like you've reached the end of what the world has to offer? 2 weeks ago:
The opposite. I’m afraid I will waste my life procrastinating, not even being aware of what it has to offer.
- Comment on Why are there silly license requirements? 3 weeks ago:
Yet somehow the same people can be trusted to select the best among them to make the rules for everyone.

I sense huge r/antiwork vibes. I hope it will be at least as much fun.
- Comment on How is the current AI bubble when compared to the .com bubble in the early 2000's? 1 month ago:
Our backup server has a chatbot now. If that’s not throwing things at the wall, I don’t know what is.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 month ago:
We’d be better off going back to barter than trying to peacefully pry the system from their clutches.
Normal people would just start selling the beige shirts…
- Comment on Have you ever used the "column" command? 1 month ago:
Well, you should consider guerilla marketing as a career option, because those t-shirts are seriously on the way as a direct consequence of your post :D
- Comment on Have you ever used the "column" command? 1 month ago:
Jesus, lemmings are a hard crowd to please. I’ve watched it on the peertube, but bought some overpriced t-shirts from her shop. Would that be an acceptable approach? :)

- Comment on If a hostile country has installed a puppet leader to dismantle your government from the inside and the only thing that would expidite its destruction is a violent revolution how do you combat this? 2 months ago:
Personally, I’m a big fan of leaving. When shooting, or barbed wires are imminent, just pack your family, some essentials and go have a long boring life somewhere else.
- Comment on If a hostile country has installed a puppet leader to dismantle your government from the inside and the only thing that would expidite its destruction is a violent revolution how do you combat this? 2 months ago:
As long as you’re alive, you have options. And the majority of them are usually better than just giving up and dying, either by a civil war or under the occupation forces.
The only thing not clear is the timing. How close is the shit from the fan at any particular moment?
- Comment on If a hostile country has installed a puppet leader to dismantle your government from the inside and the only thing that would expidite its destruction is a violent revolution how do you combat this? 2 months ago:
The goal of the hostile country is to cause chaos and conflict. It does not care if an insider or outsider does it.
The only way to win is not to play.
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 2 months ago:
That’s one of the most dangerous myths about marxism and similar ideologies.
It wouldn’t work even if everybody had their best intentions in mind, and did their absolute best to contribute.
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 2 months ago:
Everyone living together on a shared plot and exchanging goods & services instead of money.
Can’t imagine looking for an alcoholic shoemaker willing to exchange a pair of shoes for 10 liters of vodka.

Detroit: Become Human
It was the only story ever that has pulled me in completely. I wasn’t just playing it, I was living it. It took me 2 more days to come down to earth after finishing it.
- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 3 months ago:
Meanwhile down on earth, you’ve just caused an entirely new class of derrivatives traded on sketchy and unregulated markets, increasing the risk of fraud to all, including small individual investors.
Wealth is finite
The size of the observable universe is ~93 billion light-years. So, you’re technically right, but…
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 3 months ago:
Tough question. I don’t think the descendants of european, asian and african settlers are going back home any time soon.
- Comment on Realistically... How fucked is the US? 3 months ago:
Sure, advertising your secret plans in public might not be the best idea, regardles of the medium.
From the technical standpoint, internet has never been more secure and private. The amount of plaintext shit that was literally flying over the air just a decade ago was terrifying.
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 3 months ago:
What I like: The effort and persistence of the developers What I dislike: The ActivityPub protocol.
- Comment on Nostalgia and remake culture 3 months ago:
The value of an art piece is always subjective. The price (closest thing we have to the objective value) is determined by the buyers.
What other mechanism would there be? A committee? That’s a bit nazi for my taste. A popular vote? Look at the election results to see why that might be a bad idea.
The theme is a bit touchy these days, especially in certain small country in eastern europe, where the new minister started to cut subsidies to the art she considers unworthy, obscene and politicized, in favor of art reflecting so called traditional values and national identity. The mere existence of the ministry of culture, established with the most noble goal of supporting art, creates this kind of potential vulnerability.

What are the capitalists doing to prevent you from expressing artistically?

But would the 2 pictures fit together? When you shorten the lens-display distance, you basically zoom in.

Why do you see a unified image when you open your eyes, even though each part of your visual cortex has access to only a small part of the world? What is special about the wrinkled outer layer of the brain, and what does that have to do with the way that you explore and come to understand the world? Are there new theories of how the brain operates? And in what ways is it doing something very different than current AI? Join Eagleman with guest Jeff Hawkins, theoretician and author of “A Thousand Brains” to dive into Hawkins’ theory of many models running in the brain at once.
- Comment on Why does the media print rags to riches stories? 5 months ago:
Communists and fascist are the conservatives on my side of the planet though. They both appeal on “the good old times, when the world was right”. Both equally glorify physical labor and fights against the intellectualism.
- Comment on Why does the media print rags to riches stories? 5 months ago:
It’s the bullshit of hard work will result in success and money.
That’s funny, because it’s not the liberal leaning folks who glorify the hard labor.

That only confirms my hypothesis that leftists don’t want a system of governance, but mom and dad…

Filthy capitalists, giving people what they want!
- Comment on Why does the media print rags to riches stories? 5 months ago:
Yes, reporting on a success of an individual is practically the same thing as openning the gas valve… Jesus F. Christ !
