This is more a failure of understanding basic physics.

It seems as though maybe you haven’t studied capitalism or, I dunno, human history?

Well if the two options I have are: continue being able to afford to live while doing a job that can now be done by a machine, or to just let it happen with zero safety net and let the good vibes from the naive optimism of “if enough people go hungry, then things will have to change.” I’m sure that’ll be a great comfort in that time

I guess you don’t value your time, but maybe as you get older you will learn to value it more.

I feel like you think you just thought of something truly groundbreaking, “You criticize society yet you live in society. Curious.”

Yeah, it always seemed like flat-out exploitation to me.
- Comment on Dwarf Fortress - Adventure Mode Beta Out Now 3 weeks ago:
From what I’ve seen, don’t expect a polished, marketable “Beta” or “Early Access” even. It seems like they really rushed to get this one released by the date they chose in advance (one of the dev’s birthday I think?), and therefore is missing tons of features and in many cases just straight up broken.
I’m gonna wait til this one is a little more baked before giving it a try, otherwise I’m worried the ensuing frustration might ruin the mode for me once it’s actually working as intended.

I’ve found that using a VPN tends to get e caught in more Captcha loops than not. I think google, etc. has gotten better at knowing which swathes of IP addresses belong to VPNs. I thought that maybe it was specifically an issue with NordVPN because it had gotten so popular, so I switched to Mullvad and nope. Still get way more captchas. Still keep it on.

The secret is, it doesn’t matter.
- Comment on *sweating intensifies* 3 weeks ago:
I just don’t think many of us believe that, “it’s been happening in various forms for 20 years” is an acceptable reason to continue doing or accepting something.
You act as if Captchas themselves weren’t created to prevent corporations from gaming the system. Like you do realize that the only reason that “every post you are making on this site blahblah” is because corporations just had to exploit the system for profit at the expense of literally everyone.
So yeah, no. “You’ve been doing it already for 20 years” doesn’t cut it for me.

Because fuck them, that’s why. Nobody, not a single person, is out there trying to make AI that will make the lives of average humans more livable. 100% of it is for corporate profit.

Something about the expression on his face in that scene is so fucking funny to me. That look is just perfect for the scene.

Completely unrelated, but I just noticed that “seamstress” still seems acceptable, despite shifting more toward gender neutral vocational titles. The only other one I can think of was “stewardess” which was changed to “Flight Attendant.”
Is there a difference between a tailor and a seamstress? Or is the latter just the female version of the former, and therefore an archaic term?

Can’t wait for this to become a systemic issue with Lemmy. Why does everything have to be ruined by tankies and conservatives? They know that nobody wants to talk to them, but they will evade and disrespect the rules just to make other people miserable.
What a sad hobby.

Dali’s gotta be one of the most authentically strange motherfuckers to ever walk the planet.
He never did drugs, but I’m convinced that some malfunction in his brain giving him a constant drip of pure DMT.
White I jest, he did experiment with hypnogogic states (mental state between being awake and asleep) in order to alter his consciousness. If I recall, he set up a contraption where he would sit upright in a chair, holding a fork and he would put a ceramic plate on the floor under the fork. As soon as he’d start to doze off, he’d drop the fork which would make a loud clang, and wake him up. He’d then immediately begin sketching/painting/writing/etc.
I’m probably butchering the details, but it was something like that. Dude was just on a different plane of existence.
Given all that, I’m almost inclined to overlook all that fascism stuff… Almost.

Didn’t Pythagoras have a cult or some shit?
Also, I would say a lot of modern medicine since the discovery of germ theory has included a sizeable portion of evangelism.

Maybe I’m wrong, and I admittedly didn’t read the article, but can’t Valve see if a person is using the Linux runtime or Windows exe without needing to request access to other information? Like it seems like a very basic thing that Valve probably collects by default because it would take effort not to.

Are we talking about the same Adam Sandler? Maybe I’m just too old, but none of the 90s movies of his I loved growing up hold up at all imo.

I think the only solution would be a time machine where you become 20 years younger… Have you watched Billy Madison lately? Doesn’t hold up very well for the most part.
