Sure, I just don't think people reacted the way GP did when JFK said it.

Didn't JFK say something about going to the moon by the end of the decade?

> Since that harm is invisible, it is very hard to factor in, and is almost always ignored. This seems like the sensible course of action? Also, any "value" from those things not being built is also invisible and very hard to f

So... what's the big deal? Putting aside the various arguments whether religious texts should be marked as such, the wording of this policy, etc, etc... literally what difference does it make that these apps now have this flag? Do peop

Clickbait? Where? How? It's literally in the NTSB report, and it's not like, a crazy concept?

Checking Facebook while you have a few minutes available isn't the worst thing in the world. Calm down.

Wouldn't identifying them via MAC address be very inaccurate, as you can't pinpoint them to a specific house very easily? Would cameras like these emit any sort of IR light or anything that might be detected from a distance? Objec

LLMs have their own biases. But either way, I want people like dang to be the ones moderating and managing a community - call it "personal bias" if you'd like, but they have a vision for the space, and as long as I as a user

And I think you underestimate the reality of actual slavery. There is nothing remotely comparable between slavery and a modern job. Feel free to make a more substantial argument as to how they are than "it's close enough"
882.
by squigz 1y ago
No, you are not close enough. This minimizes the seriousness of actual slavery to an extraordinary degree.

Isn't it though? To be sure it very much depends on how you measure progress, but I do firmly believe that there is a slow but inexorable push forward in terms of equality, human rights, and various other issues. Yes, there will be hic

Out of curiosity, which parts of the world is actual slavery a normal thing?

Jailbreak it and install KOReader[0], which supports PDFs. You can also install something like Project Title[1] for a fancier UI https://koreader.rocks/ https://github.com/joshuacant/ProjectTitle

This argument would be more persuasive to me if publishers and stores didn't screw over authors harder than we ever do by pirating their books.

Has there ever been any sort of even-remotely-successful smell-o-vision? We can recreate input for many of our other senses - music, visuals, touch - so why not smell?

Maybe people are just responding to things like labelling them all as "useful idiots" and "Nazis" and "fascists"

I think a more precise definition of social network would be nice, actually, considering how much hubbub is being made about them.

This clearly has nothing to do with security, but do you really believe journalists are just "wandering" around the Pentagon and getting into classified materials?

What's wrong with sending a username to someone?

I was confused about this because last time I used LibreOffice it wasn't that bad. Turns out, it's really just a normal UI? I guess the biggest difference is it doesn't conform to Microsoft's design but to call it a time

No, but I was trying to illustrate the absurdity of dismissing these as 'fringe' opinions, simply because they only apply to the segment of the population that are actually going through it.

"My experience is that people whose homes have burned down are unhappy that their homes burned down. It is also my experience that this is a fringe opinion" Like what?

This touches on something I've noticed the past few years - it seems to me many advocates of most topics often do more harm than good for their cause - taking hardline positions normal people simply can't relate to, even if they d

"Within reason" is doing a lot of lifting in that sentence, isn't it? What I define as reasonable FOSS solutions, many executives would not agree with, but that doesn't mean they're not practical or acheivable. Your

Can you provide some examples of things for which there are zero FOSS options?
