  That’s already the way the world works today. But the difference is, the state won’t forbid you from organizing community self-defense as needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If libertarian socialists are on the left and anarcho-capitalists are on the right what ideology is in the middle?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe I already answered this? There is no ownership without a state to enforce your claim.

  Same way animals do.

  I mean the Lemmy devs are objectively assholes. You don’t gotta be anti-communist to recognize that.

  But if there’s more to this story than just vibes I’d be interested to read about it. Did they make some statement or where did you hear this? Because I’ve never heard anything about this.

  lol wat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this the future that transhumanists want?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure why not?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly that hasn’t been my experience but either way there’s always room for improvement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, I hope we can all make a concerted effort to be nicer to each other. It’s the internet so that’s not always easy but I do think that’s one of the things holding us back.

  They’ve never been for small government. This lie needs to be called out every single time.

  Capybara are dangerous?! Do they kill by biting or what?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*confused flatfish noises*⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would assume insects would be evolutionarily similar to other types or prey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When DeepSeek-R1 receives prompts containing topics the CCP considers politically sensitive, the likelihood of it producing code with severe security vulnerabilities increases by up to 50%.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty clear that deepseek is not open source, or at least shouldn’t be considered within the spirit of open source.

  It seems like if we want to have truly open source llms, a new standard for transparency is needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like something other states should get in on. Now that the program is established seems like it would not be as hard to pay into it and get a share of the product.

  What I meant was, what is the mechanism that supposedly connects facial features to job performance?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Economist on using phrenology for hiring and lending decisions: "Some might argue that face-based analysis is more meritocratic" […] "For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Disturbing. What is the proposed mechanism here? Or is it unknown?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hrmmmmm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Call me naive if you want but I think we might want to aim for slightly more than another flavor of illusory democracy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FBI Tries to Unmask Owner of Infamous Archive.is Site⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume you mean JFK, was he talking about this?

  But I mean we as in the people of the US. Our leaders have very different incentives than we do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FBI Tries to Unmask Owner of Infamous Archive.is Site⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When are we going to start talking about abolishing the FBI?

  It has some advantages but I think it will make public services even more subordinated to the interests of the wealthy. Since they would have almost sole discretion on where that money goes.

  Ouch my teeth 😢

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are bots on lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never seen real evidence of bots impersonating people here but it’s hard to know. Maybe admins would have more insights.

  There are a few ad bots that sneak in but they usually get a ban pretty quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are bots on lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like something a bot would say!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨During the lead up to the Holocaust did the N... regime just kidnap people who they even thought were Jews? Kind of like ICE is doing to citizens today?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was worried about this with CECOT but I think most everyone ended up being released from there? Does anyone know if other American deportees are still being held there?

  Unfortunately, I’ve seen very little reporting on other foreign prison camps, so I don’t know what the conditions there are like and who is being held vs released etc. Someone in the media really needs to dig into this more. Or if anyone has seen such reporting, please link it.

  Should disabling these cameras be considered community defense? Discuss.

  Is the implication here that Asian plums are a different species?

  Distant cackling

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mercy merci⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The spiders have their corners in my house. Doesn’t bother me. They eat the pesky flying insects that like to fly in my face.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fight me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well ultimately it all becomes heat. Maybe a tiny amount escapes a window or something. So we could say 99%.

  But heat pumps still reign supreme, at least until it gets super cold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many people would a generation ship need to have for inbreeding to not be an issue?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The obvious solution here is to include frozen gametes in the ship’s cargo to increase the diversity of the population. It would be culturally easiest with frozen sperm but if necessary you could include eggs as well, provided people are willing to be surrogate mothers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fear their power⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine how much easier dating would be if you’re default compatible with over 98% of the population. Making me jealous.
