Operating Facebook is rent-seeking, in a way. Any company could make another Facebook, but without people on it, there’s no point going on it.

That’s quite funny, would love to see it in action.

Final victory for them is to lobotomise all your higher order thinking skills. Your just a body to lie there and be fucked.

Sounds fun! Any plans to release something on itch/steam?

Reading this then your reply made me smile.

Imagine how broken it would be otherwise. The first person to write a while loop in any given language would be the owner of it. Anyone else using the same concept would have to write an increasingly convoluted while loop with extra steps.

Yea that’s something that I find intriguing somewhat.

Still nowadays you find criticism of Trump and ICE on Reddit.

It’s very random.

Yea it seems like a lot! But I assume it would be for communities that are already in the desert, they’re manageing with water, but barely, and one or two of these machines would help rounding things.

Considering the amount of water it produces, I imagine it would be a community rather than an individual that buys it.

What’s the business model of the repair shop in that situation?

I love that it replies seriously.

I think he’s arguing that not using the most advanced technologies (eg. what Google and Microsoft offer) would be detrimental to worker productivity in the EU.

Of course, in reality, if all those countries start investing in FOSS, they could easily replace the Office suit, SharePoint, the Power platform, etc. I know several programmers who’d gladly devote their time to FOSS full-time if they could. I’ve even met one who simply refuses to work to create anything proprietary.

I would like to glide with knives on ice.

That’s pretty weird because I do see women’s nipples in US movies and series.

That’s good, but it pales in comparison to the effect we could gain by reducing the amount of paper that gets printed, especially in business.

Incredibly, a lot of time I spend is spent scanning shit that was produced using a computer, then printed, sent to me, only for me to then bring it back into a computer!

I don’t consider them as worse than Nazi Germany, but I consider them as pretty bad.

The massacres and famines in India comes to mind.

The wars in China to keep selling them opium.

And the fact that Nazi Germany had to hide the genocide from the general population, but when a Britiah military officer massacred civilians, they were bailed and cheered on by the general population is a nuance to the idea that the British Empire was better in every regard.

What’s the issue with effective altruism?

They’re at that level for a reason. The problem is that most people are ignorant or give little consideration to human life.

As a man, I’m happy to know that about Lemmy.

Even the tale is perfect. Witchcraft, hate, murder, life in the forest, fantasy dwarves, a tomb, and torture. It hardly gets more black metal than that.

I’d watch that.

In that case no human fits the description, not even albinos who are more pink than “white as snow”.

Well, apart maybe from black metal artists.

A lot of the far right in fact.
