  I’m looking forward to the podcasts that’ll make fun of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Veggie 'burgers' at stake in EU negotiations⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually, calling anything “burger” or “sausage” is too complicated and confusing.

  Make them call it cow flesh and pig meat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We can play that game too⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, but that necessarily means that other people are now paying for their Social Security. This isn’t money they paid in themselves, these are contributions coming from people like us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We can play that game too⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The OP specifically depicts someone that’s 90 years old.

  The amount they paid in to Social Security ran out years ago.

  Maybe this is a pipedream but I think mods should be paid for their labor.

  I have mine set on a timer, fill it up with water before I go to bed, and when I wake up I can immediately make a hot broth breakfast. It’s reduced my morning routine by 8 whole minutes!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Freaky ass bird⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My family was discussing what the NFL turducken would look like if it was alive.

  Possible contender!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assuming humanity last another few hundred years; How many human languages do you think are gonna be left in 100 years? In 200 years?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  None. Everyone will have an AI interpreter implanted at birth that can translate gestures and grunting into language as we desperately try to I communicate like our ancestors did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They feel empowered, partially, because they’re basically anonymous. Everyone is basically a faceless tank on the road.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the inability to communicate makes road rage worse, actually. Simple matters that could be solved by a quick comment become rage inducing because there’s literally nothing you can do about them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is a GREAT idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What if, instead of hiring a company, we organized together as workers and yelled at the boss collectively? 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it happened, would anybody even question it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Legitimate improvement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was no need to ever improve upon THIS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  All of that stuff is great.

  Just don’t make me use a touch screen while I’m driving.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s also longer work days and less work shared between the clan/gens/extended family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That pales in comparison to the massive time investment of having a full time job and taking care of a living space by yourself (cooking, cleaning, shopping, repairs, etc). This is unique to our era, we used to not work as many hours and we used to live in more communal family spaces where work was evenly shared so that everyone had lighter loads.

  The fact that I can squeeze in 20 minutes of posting a day isn’t the reason I can’t go on 3 hour walks like I used to.

  Time isn’t free.

  This is why I think we need to get organized. There are these spontaneous masses of people who would be very receptive to libreware and federation, but the message isn’t getting out to them. You have to be a turbonerd to even be aware of this stuff, but the outrage is fertile ground if the message could just get out of obscure corners of the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the demands of the No Kings protests? What's the plan if they win?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but in this case the passengers are committed to not laying a hand on the driver as he drives them off the cliff.

  Yeah I think the focus should be on technological sovereignty, not abstinence. We need control over our data, control over our software, control over our devices, control over our hardware, and through these things we can gain control over our lives while still accessing these extremely useful tools. We need our own search engines, our own operating systems, our own applications, our own email, our own social media, our own video hosting, etc etc. We can never go back, the only way out is through.

  This is extremely hard and expensive, though. It’ll require mass organization of millions of people, we can’t do it as individuals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I getting this right? The vibe of different lemmy instances⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, you basically just accused other instances of being hysterical.

  A more accurate way to describe them is reddit.world

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The hardware is specialized for chatbots, it’s not just something they can plug-and-play for other use cass. That means using it for other computing tasks is even less efficient per kWh and per litre of water, which will make it hard to justify the resource requirements.

  Surely some of this hardware can find new life, but assets will be stranded.
