  Every time I post it’s in the wrong community or against some rule and I get the hammer

  I post things I want to see, but I’m apparently alone in that desire

  I had no idea I even did that. I read it several times and in my head it was britches the whole time

  Same question - why aren’t businesses responsible for maintaining enough security, with damages due for those whose information they misplace.

  Was it a stupid question?

  Same been running netdata for years. They’re monetizing now where it used to just be free. Good for them, it’s a great product. And it’s foss

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the agent's argument in the matrix⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This perspective is really interesting to me

  I have admit,I tend to agree. I make comments like “individual people are smart, but people at large… they’re idiots” it’s the way I can rationalize how we’re facing a rematch of Biden v Trump in the US the year… And other things that defy reason

  But in weighing the positives and the negatives of the totality of our impact - how many good small acts does it take to overcome a Khmer Rouge? What about when those loving families are torn apart by religion, patriotism, morality etc and the angels fight? Conflict, like death and taxes, seems undeniable - maturity, much less so

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the agent's argument in the matrix⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that existence is truly a wonder.

  Yet I don’t see how everything else being great around us means we’re so great for just seeing it all… I’d ask, a net positive to what group? Our own, of course, because we procreate. But… at what cost? Does the cow share your zeal for humanity, you know

  Is the point of existence merely for wonders to be observed?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the agent's argument in the matrix⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Great, but why are you convinced?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the agent's argument in the matrix⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what human nature truly is, or if there can be a singular definition.

  However, judging by the historical record, we seem to be quite good at exploiting things and beings for our own benefit at their expense, which doesn’t really make a compelling case for worthiness

  How does this Wikipedia argument address whether or not we’re a blight, or if we should be?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists show how ‘doing your own research’ leads to believing conspiracies — This effect arises because of the quality of information churned out by Google’s search engine⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen this myself - so you could say this article confirms my bias. People who otherwise appear to be reasonable and intelligent - they are falling for what seem obviously untrue. But after doing research, and seeing the same ideas regurgitated in many places, it gives credence to the original idea.

  This happens over and over again and I think people exacerbate the problem by then engaging in dialogue with other users, where they argue and become entrenched. Now their ego is tied to this position and changing course based on new information means admitting something they’d rather not . .
