There’s a difference between the fediverse and the Threadiverse, though.
- Comment on [fluff post] If lemmy users are Lemmites, what would we like to call piefed users? 1 day ago:
I feel like it would be more relevant to come up with a name for Threadiverse users as a whole. There’s really not much to differentiate us as a community between lemmy and piefed.
- Comment on Japan Just Switched on Asia’s First Osmotic Power Plant, Which Runs 24/7 on Nothing But Fresh Water and Seawater 1 day ago:
Desalinating water gives you potable fresh water, whereas the fresh water being used might require treatment before being potable? Or it’s unreliable in quantity. IDK, few possible reasons, I’m just speculating

You’d never think japan was shrinking by a million people a year. Crazy xenophobes.

The pitcher doesn’t stop you from sticking your fingers into it if you try, it just makes accidents less likely. Same thing here.

But certainly AI needs better safeguards
No. Much like a kitchen blender, it’s a tool. It’s on the user to not stick their hand into it and turn it on

When was the last time you created something that wasn’t just a new spin based on what you already knew?
- Comment on Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air 6 days ago:
Ok… Looking through your profile, I’m guessing you’re French speaking. That is not at all what I said or meant, neither is it what the law says (the law hasn’t said anything, since by definition there needs to be a trial and conviction before the law can be considered to have said anything).
- Comment on Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air 6 days ago:
Ok? Nowhere in this discussion has it been suggested otherwise
- Comment on Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air 6 days ago:
Yes they should. Not my point. You still trying to argue that law doesn’t involve emotion?
- Comment on Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air 6 days ago:
Yeah, like all those laws about Israel and Palestine and such. Definitely no pesky emotions involved, no sirree
- Comment on Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air 6 days ago:
Idk, I don’t watch videos so I’m unfamiliar with it.
don’t think banning channels promoting group punching a dude would be a bad thing to censor.
I don’t think so either, but experience has taught me not to give companies any more power than necessary. If it needs to be done, pass a law for it.
- Comment on Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air 6 days ago:
Yeah, depending on circumstance I can definitely see a case being made for the streamers having some responsibility.
I don’t see how the platform should be responsible without opening up a can of worms involving censorship. Mastercard has proven we do not want fucking corps having that power.
- Comment on Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air 6 days ago:
Who decides when it’s good and when it isn’t?
- Comment on Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air 6 days ago:
Yeah, I don’t see how they’re responsible either, but I’m getting lots of emotional replies and nobody actually seems to want to admit they’re advocating censorship. Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a thing.
- Comment on Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air 6 days ago:
Can somebody explain to me why, emotions aside, the French guy is not responsible for his own choices? Unless it comes to light that he was coerced into staying on the show, why are other parties being held responsible instead of himself?
I’m not looking to be controversial, I’m honestly curious if there’s some rational logic to it that I can understand, or this is all emotional.

Oh yes, like I said I agree entirely with your post

While I loved your story and agree with all your points, I should note there’s a big difference between having an immigration website in English and having one in pretty much any other language.

- Comment on I blew the whistle on workplace abuses at ZA/UM. In return, ZA/UM tried to defame me. 1 week ago:
While I would normally agree fully with you, it’s very clear from the context that ZAUM is the company behind the game Disco Elysium. What the letters stand for, if anything, is pretty irrelevant. Using IBM as an example, most people don’t know or care what it stands for, it’s an identifier on its own.

I very much doubt you’d feel that way had they released the trailer and announced the game was coming in another 7 years
