Ahaha. All the people from the US downvoting this 🤦♂️ So many solutions to questions like this a just easier and more intuitive in metric. Tec diving is just hilarious in imperial units

This is close, if you haven’t seen it. It plays off of the “earth is smoother than a bowling ball” thing that’s almost true but turns it around:

Agreed after the yes.
I’m not sure how what you said either: justifies the comments not fitting that label; justifies that “any practice that restricts my personal freedom in any way is bad” is a practical ideology; or even establishes much a link between what you’ve quoted and what you’ve said. And I think you need to be doing one of those to be making a counter argument

I was more thinking of the space / rockets side of things but you got me. I’m already subscribed to both

It’s the wrong place to ask, but if I liked this question, where should I be subscribed to besides !space@mander.xyz ?

And presuming a species that built a generation ship doesn’t have the ability to handle these environmental changes (either through “fixing” the environment or the genes). And there are two migrations here. I’m not seeing much targeting the earth to generation ship migration directly here. But, they’d all die in free space so the ship is an environmental “fix” and they may need a genetic “fix” to handle things like long term exposure to lower gravity, or some quirks of centripetal gravity.

I think that marking things as “safe” could have more complications than this depending on their definition but I think you’re right that’s probably all this issue is. This is almost the only sane comment here. Everyone else seems to be frothing at the mouth and I’m guessing its a decent mix of not understanding much of how these systems work (and blindly running tutorials for those that do self host) and blind ideology (big companies are bad / any practice that restricts my personal freedom in any way is bad)
- Comment on How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics? 4 days ago:
Bad content with new tools isn’t a new issue for sure… but it seems pretty dominant in places
Another example is/was every time a space X launch happening (particularly starship) if you search space x or elon musk on youtube. That used to be pretty crypto currency targeted slop though
- Comment on Believing misinformation is a “win” for some people, even when proven false 1 week ago:
It’s not just uncomfortable though, it’s hugely time consuming. And like, I think we’re getting to the point where more collective time has been spent explaining the world is not flat than the human hours it took to find out the world is round. If the person happens to be knowledgeable then they can kill a lot of time through out “what about X?” arguments (like missing links for evolution) and that requires someone with a lot of knowledge to slowly explain, so the approach also biases towards locking up the most knowledgeable people instead of them being more free to do other things (in the evolution example, maybe biology research).
I guess I’m not arguing against the empathy first communication, just lamenting how effective the flood the zone strategy is.
- Comment on Japanese Government Calls on Sora 2 Maker OpenAI to Refrain From Copyright Infringement, Says Characters From Manga and Anime Are 'Irreplaceable Treasures' That Japan Boasts to the World 1 week ago:
And the other government with large contributors is China and intellectual property rights have never been strong there. Walk around a tech startup in China and you’ll see plenty of posters they’ve made with their products and with the faces of Elon Musk or Steve Jobs there as if they’re endorsing or part of the product

Aligning on a purpose is important. I’d argue that being aware of how on board people are for that purpose is important too. I recently tried to say that the family chat should have less influencer posts since we don’t all agree on the positions and it causes friction. Boy was that a shit show
- Comment on Believing misinformation is a “win” for some people, even when proven false 1 week ago:
got personal stories about my loved one’s descent into MAGA
You and me both. It’s a bit terrifying how much of this has momentum outside the US. The supporters of South Korean president that ordered military rule wearing MAGA hats, or how often the talking points pop up outside the US, especially during US election cycles, from the “free thinkers”.
who does actually do a great job of prescribing the best advice for trying to engage in debate theatrics: Stop and move on.
Thinking of my personal experience, I get that, especially on the mental health front. Thinking of societal / political implications though, doesn’t that just give time to scatter information that’s hard to dislodge? A lot of what I’ve heard is the importance of prebunking, like what’s written in The Debunking Handbook (2020) no.
Let me know if you’d like to hear the synopsis in my own uneducated words, I in no way expect anyone to watch all that bullshit
I’ll save this post and get back to it. I also have a long boring flight coming up soon.

A lot of upvotes here, and I think they’re ignoring how much is involved in production pipelines and the overhead of sourcing suppliers. That said, Musk has a habit of throwing in last minute changes and the company manages to handle those but much like self driving they ship late

What page I’m on. I’ve tried a few things that basically open you to the start again. Especially with PDFs (so opening research papers on the iPhone. Thats not really self hosting but part of the system that needs to work together).

- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 1 week ago:
OP was not actually posing anything coherent
Yeah, agreed.
I’m not hugely on board with the comment answering the second question though. For me, it’s a bit too similar to saying that meteorologists lied to us because they said there was a 60% chance of rain and it didn’t happen. In the context of this question its a lot more complicated than that though
- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 2 weeks ago:
That seems like a statement. I’m still lost on how this answers the question
- Comment on Do boycotts work? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I was think there is easier momentum for non-hardware tech. Social media is mostly its users so if they leave there isn’t much. Disney showed some of the weaknesses of streaming services but they’re aren’t many non-US alternatives. There are YouTube alternatives but there most of the content creators are entrenched there. Most of the rest of Google’s offerings have European alternatives.
- Comment on Do boycotts work? 2 weeks ago:
I wish there was momentum to boycott US tech companies
- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 2 weeks ago:
What specifically in the original post did you have issue with? There’s not a lot too that post, and you have agreed with part of it, so it seems like it would be faster to list out the issues
- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 2 weeks ago:
Here’s a review focused to some extent on how accurate the science in that book is:
www.healthline.com/…/how-not-to-die-review#TOC_TI…
The author seems pretty focused on pushing a single message so I’d be careful with that message myself. (As someone who aspires to have a diet that’s mostly vegetables with a few cheat days for meat.)
- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 2 weeks ago:
Fruits tend to get listed as low GI supporting the poster’s statement.
Also, you’re simplifying the chemistry and metabolic pathways to the point they sound the same when they’re obviously different. I’m not an expert but I as I understand it table sugar is short chain and good to go, fruits (if they’re not pre cooked) tend to be a bit more complicated and have a few more steps along the way (and I assume each requires some energy to unlock and also result in some chemical energy that isn’t completely digested). Also, what you’re saying goes a lot against what I understand from the carb count on the packet from fibre vs. what your body unlocks. That said, I’m very ignorant and far from an expert

Are you both from the US? It was rough getting used to how much you all like to drown out the food with various sauces

- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 2 weeks ago:
Oh, I didn’t say I had a preference. And I see your point that one is just a conjugation of the other. I’ve just seen capitalism as a term used more for explanation and when I’ve seen capitalist said it tends to have a negative connotation at best but more often it is half spat out
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 2 weeks ago:
The question says capitalism (not so loaded term) your answer said capitalist (more loaded term and you’ve taken time to use the loaded part of the term).
That said, I accidentally replied to a question in lemmy.ml so the person asking the question is probably more aligned with your way of thinking and explaining than I am. Sorry about that
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 2 weeks ago:
An economic model that includes capitalism explains a lot of the world including having some close process analogs in nature.
A capitalist sounds like a label you’re trying to apply in an attempt to label someone as being maximally for profits. A lot of companies admittedly work that way and it’s important to include that concept.
By my reading you’re taking the use of the first term and then saying they are using the second term. I think this is called equivocation.
