  I don’t know who downvoted you, I came to say the same. Why post an AI video of a made-up product when asbestos filter cigarettes were a real thing?

  Are there any bird species that have co-op mating displays?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surveillance capitalism⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That is indeed possible. But it’s also possible to use this power to induce resignation and apathy so you won’t oppose resistance when they become even more intrusive and pervasive.

  As you said, it’s not even strictly about the politics. It’s just whatever’s most profitable, without any consideration for the human lives on the other side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What even is money at this point⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you. Every time someone says “The Economy™” as something that should drive policy instead of being an effect of it, I get a little twitch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨advertisement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always wondered what’s the point of these ads. Is it to segment gullible people?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Filament blobs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Might just be an effect of the circular infill pattern, esp. if done outside in. Try again with monotonic?

  Bro do you seriously need convincing that walking eye-level cameras that record and tag every fucking person you meet on the street and feed that info to Meta is evil? Some asshole walks past you and bam, real-time geotag. Doesn’t really matter if you’re not on facebook after it gets into the hands of data brokers anyway. wtf

  I do have a ton more questions, but I’m not sure if I want to ask them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the name of the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 hard-coded into the Bluetooth drivers?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 reports its name as Microsoft⟪AE⟫ Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000, encoding the registered trademark symbol ® not as UTF-8 as required by the specification but in code page 1252” is a sentence that seems to have come straight from unix_surrealism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨None of the last 31 political attacks was by anyone from 'the Left'. Not one. We can count them. - AzExpress⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No. Just don’t play into their hand. The “post-truth world” is not inevitable, some “people” are just pushing really hard for it to be that way. Keep bringing up things that were said and things that were done, with receipts. Think and teach about the differences between facts, beliefs, thoughts, and opinions. Do keep making compilations of all the evil and insane shit they’ve done, with rigor and composure. They will be unable to come up with anything more than boogeystrawman arguments and hate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Analog computing is undergoing a resurgence⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No offense taken! I just believe that a subtle difference does not mean unimportant and wanted to be precise. I didn’t take you as someone who doesn’t understand analog and digital, especially considering your instance :) I edited my previous comment for some additional clarity. I just think they’re neat ^^

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Analog computing is undergoing a resurgence⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With “binary” I mean “has two states”, as in discrete, as in digital. You can represent binary bits using analog circuits, but it doesn’t make those circuits binary. What makes these chips different is that they are able to not only represent but actually model continuous functions and values, like physical models.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Analog computing is undergoing a resurgence⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This has nothing to do with retro technology. This is about thinking “is using binary really the most efficient way to run every computation we need to do?”, which is really relevant today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨S1ngularity/nx attackers strike again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is the point of posting an LLM response to “what is web development”? Seriously? I don’t get it. If you don’t know and wanted to ask it, fine. But why copypaste it to c/technology?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🤡🤡🤡⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The “dark” side of the moon is a bit of a weird thing, both linguistically and for its tidally locked orbit ^^ The moon revolves around earth at the same speed it revolves around its axis. This “tidal locking” means that it is always showing the same “face” to the Earth, so that it doesn’t appear to be rotating from our perspective. timelapse showing the precession of the moon This doesn’t mean that one side is always dark and the other is exposed to the sun - just that instead of days, the moon has phases! So the situation of being “on the dark side of the moon” while the Earth is visible is not possible, but earthlight is very much a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🤡🤡🤡⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just regular sunlight. The “night” sky might throw off your intuition, but no atmosphere = no sky

  Anyone who says that he valued “open debate and the exchange of ideas” either had never actually listened to one of his “debates” or has no idea what healthy discourse looks like
