Buddy, I’ve got some bad news for you: if you want to move everyone you don’t like to an island so that you don’t have “shit all over your streets,” you are actually siding with fascism.

the entirety of your post assumes that homelessness is a moral failing of individuals when the entirety of what we know about community development and psychology shows that that is not the case; you can believe in this plan, but you are su

My dude I saw homeless people in towns with a population of 4000 in Mississippi. This is just false.

Minimum wage in the US is $5.15/hour iirc. At 40 hours per week (which many jobs won’t reliably get), that’s ~$824/month BEFORE taxes, food, and so on. Even in the rural south where I used to live, where the cost of living is very

I think it’s interesting that not many people here bring up Discord. It’s by far the most challenging competitor for the average user, IMO. Full of features and very easy to use.

Yes, it is also police brutality, that is correct. The people fighting the police (many of whom are police themselves, and whom some police are collaborating with) also just attempted a violent coup. So they all suck. And surprisingly, Dona

The capitol police definitely don’t seem to have been acting as one unit in this. At least some were trying to protect the capitol.

Given that there were literally millions of protestors on the streets over the summer, 20 is a pretty tiny number. Multiple people have already died from the DC attacks, just in two days in one city, with a much smaller number of people. Th

I don’t think wanting a regulatory framework is bad at all (though I think in the last few decades, we have naïvely tried to regulate companies into doing things that are simply counter to their nature rather than solving problems directly,

I think this is an instance of the biggest, most disastrous fallacy of the last half century: that a company is a social utility. It’s not. It’a a bunch of rich people in California. If you want a public utility for communication and social

In defense, I would argue that many modern language design advancements DO relate to multithreading in some way. Rust’s borrow checker and linear/affine types can help with thread safety; OCaml is using algebraic effects to implement m

I’m not so sure; I think a _lot_ of people would be interested in advanced in non-ML image analysis tech. While ML has been effective for a recent period in industry, it has a number of issues such as intensive training costs, extreme diffi

Have you played with NixOS or Guix at all? They attempt to solve this problem from the ground up for the entire OS. It obviously has trade offs, but IMO it is the best solution around today (other than Kubernetes, but that is an abstraction

I know that there is at least some speculation that autism in women is under diagnosed v men. Does this paper account for that? Edit: yeah, that’s the conclusion of the analysis. I wonder if there is still more to be found there (ie if it i

I don't mean to bring back the forum lifestyle of the 00s, but this is just plainly FUD. Linux does not cause hardware issues like this with any high frequency (of course it may occasionally, but any software will damage that hardware

Well, Apple has managed to move all the way down to a 5nm process while Intel still hasn't made it past 14nm. AFAIK that's the largest limiting factor for Intel. I can't speak to why they have been stuck there for so long.

Free speech is about government laws, not private action. Racist speech is protected, but so is the right to not propagate racist speech on private infrastructure.

No one is seriously claiming that none of the elections have any errors. That would be insane; all human activity is full of errors. What we are saying is that literally all experts and the people who run the elections themselves — from bot

That was exactly my point. It being a “free market” is why it sucks in the first place — but if it’s going to be a shitty adtech-driven brain-sludgifying monstrosity, the very least we can do is not actively promote the worst things people

Do you have any examples of that happening to people for actions that aren’t straight up pedophilia or racism (ie Stormfront)?

Do you think Germany lost their fucking minds when they outlawed Holocaust denialism? You have full access to facts here. Nothing is being truly hidden. Hell, all of these videos can still be shared a million other ways. It’s insane, system
