- Comment on The Palestine experience 7 months ago:
I would agree with that by the evidence we are seeing but the comment I made was about this incident specifically in the USA.
- Comment on The Palestine experience 7 months ago:
Agreed. We do not know the whole story here, but it does not look good and I am willing to bet these people being attacked is unjustified.
- Comment on The Palestine experience 7 months ago:
These particular officers are really only making their ranks look bad in the eyes of the people they are claiming to protect. If they are not disciplined in a meaningful way, then there is a big problem here brewing.
- Comment on People are out there right now trying to correct every grammar mistake on the internet. 8 months ago:
Yet missing the point of the text entirely.
- Comment on Mastodon forms new U.S. non-profit 8 months ago:
Why? Bitcoin does not and that is the point. If there is a throat to chock some will chock it or take it over.
- Comment on Mastodon forms new U.S. non-profit 8 months ago:
I thought it was decentralized? Disappointing to learn this.
- Comment on Battling climate change, Japan looks to seagrass for carbon capture 8 months ago:
Agreed. I really think that we are rebooting and is one of the reasons there is suddenly so much conflict in the world. The powers that be feel their power shifting and are in the early stages of their death throes. AI is shifting power. I mean IT has been shifting power with the Internet for decades and despite the enshitification, it still has rocked established powers. AI is amplifying it and thank goodness we have powerful open source AI as it will be the enemy the powerful will have a very hard time attacking. I believe we are heading into a new civilization, but there is also a possibility that it actually just ends completely. Perhaps the Great Filter is a real barrier. I suspect not, but I thought people would have embraced decentralization and we have not so I am clearly out of touch with humanity. I mean I am not neurotypical so that makes sense.
- Comment on Battling climate change, Japan looks to seagrass for carbon capture 8 months ago:
100% agree. It is not just those who are exploiting the masses, but it is the masses that walk right into it and worse idolize the broken exploitative systems. Doing my best to skirt around the mess inbound.
- Comment on Battling climate change, Japan looks to seagrass for carbon capture 8 months ago:
You are not wrong, but we could stop the emissions if we really wanted to or at least curtail to a level that we are not increasing the temperature. We just have to collective want this outcome as we absolutely have the tech and the money to do so. Sadly, we are marching right into disaster and likely food system collapse. I guess that only good news of that outcome is we will suddenly be putting out less green house gases as there will be less of us.
- Comment on Battling climate change, Japan looks to seagrass for carbon capture 8 months ago:
I am all for methods to capture carbon, but the effort should be on eliminating/reducing it in the first place.
- Comment on Khronos Group seeking proposals for paid work to improve OpenXR for Godot Engine 8 months ago:
Would be great if they can create an open source Immersive Avatar system while at it too.
- Comment on Wanting nothing and being grateful for everything is true freedom 8 months ago:
As someone who is driven to create, this is just not true for me. I am constantly wanting this or that in order to create something magical. Just accepting what is, does not lead to creation. Being creative is freedom for me.
- Comment on Biden 'doesn't understand the Catholic faith,' bishop says: 'I'm not angry at him, he's just stupid' 8 months ago:
Catholics do not understand their own faith either though? It really is a game of pick and choose what you want to believe from the bible.
- Comment on 24% of 5-7 year olds now use smartphones: UK watchdog 8 months ago:
This is shocking. Just as shocking as a similar stat in 10-20 years of the same age group wearing Immersive Glasses. Maybe more will. As far fetched as that sounds today as the above sounded 20 years ago.
- Comment on Louisiana lawmakers vote to remove lunch breaks for child workers, cut unemployment benefits 8 months ago:
If you have to cut lunch breaks for anyone, especially children then this is a failed state.
- Comment on Florida blocks heat protections for workers right before summer 8 months ago:
Draconian
- Comment on Police in Japan have arrested a 36-year-old man on suspicion of selling illegally modified Pokémon save data to customers online 8 months ago:
Seems like a gross misuse of law enforcement’s time. I do not even get how that Japanese law even really applies to this case exactly. Seems like a stretch. What am I missing? Why is this considered so serious that could land him in jail for 5 years and 10s of thousands in fines. Makes. I sense to me all. Can someone explain?
- Comment on The reason why we never meet time travelers is because our civilization ends before the technology can come to fruition. 8 months ago:
If the Multiverse is a thing, then that timeline has happened somewhere and our future selves visited us. Ahahaha. That would be trippy.
In this Multiverse though, it looks like we become the Borg, so they would have already collected all the info they needed and thus have no need to go back in time.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 8 months ago:
That is the thing though. The real talented tech people tend to be more in the weeds of the tech and get great enjoyment from that. The “tech bros” are more into groups, people, social structures, manipulation, controlling and such and would go crossed eyed if they really had to code something complex as they could never sit that long and concentrate. These are not these same people. Tech bros want you to think they are tech gurus as that is their brand, but it is a lie.
- Comment on Putin Orders Russian Tech Companies To Somehow Make Competitive Game Console In 3 Months 8 months ago:
The funny part is leaders all of the world are going to ask their country to do the same thing too now as none of them realize how ridiculous it is.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 8 months ago:
Tech bros are not really techie themselves as they are really just Wall Street bros with tech as their product. Most claim they can code, but if they were coders they would be coding. They are not coders, they are businessmen through and through.who just happen to sell tech.
- Comment on Norwegian Cruise captain refused to let eight passengers who were late reboard ship 8 months ago:
This is very common and not newsworthy. Feels like it was paid for by a competitor.
- Comment on Biden 'outraged' over Israel strike on World Central Kitchen staff in Gaza 8 months ago:
Right. How can one not be outraged by the entire war? How can you be a decent human being and only be outraged when people more similar to you die and not other INNOCENT people. These people supporting any war are enemies of the people. They are not leaders.
- Comment on Discord to Start Showing Ads for Gamers to Boost Revenue 8 months ago:
Discord has been driving me nuts with the constant communications and upselling of their nitro and other lame services. So much so that I am looking at alternatives for my VR theme park discord.
- Comment on AI ‘apocalypse’ could take away almost 8m jobs in UK, says report 8 months ago:
I agree. I think some are really going to benefit from AI, but perhaps many more will be negatively impacted. The government seems to be waiting for the problem to get ugly before waking up and addressing.
- Comment on AI ‘apocalypse’ could take away almost 8m jobs in UK, says report 8 months ago:
How many will it create though?
- Comment on How a Rare Islamic Astrolabe Helped Muslims, Jews and Christians Tell Time and Read Horoscopes 8 months ago:
I do not understand why religions are mentioned here. No one says the Christian invented steam engine helped the Muslims and Jews. WTF Scientific America as religion has little to do with smart people making cleaver devices.
- Comment on ‘Even stronger’ than imagined: DOJ’s sweeping Apple lawsuit draws expert praise 9 months ago:
I bet Tim Cook felt his legacy was going to be the Vision Pro, but it will more likely be that he led to company into massive legal issues. He really has walked Apple right into it.
- Comment on A Nearby Star Is Expected to Go Nova This Year. Here's How You Can See It. 9 months ago:
Right. I avoid Twitter at every opportunity. I want nothing to do with that cease pit.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 9 months ago:
Sounds like Lemmy has a tragic flaw. Not decentralized enough.
