So? What are you going to do about it?
If you want to make any difference (which, let’s be honest, it’s mostly shitposting here), you get on an auto-masturbator next to them, and mention a thing or two when you’re both recharging. Maybe, just maybe you’ll plant a seed.
Yup, nobody uses sarcasm. /s
Enby is a nonbinary person. At least in English.
N.B, get it?
Per chip is a bit misleading - the technology started running into barriers, so they just added more cores and increased die sizes. On top of that, clock speeds stopped going up, because one of those barriers is that energy dissipation from non-reversible switching became insurmountable on it’s own.
Not everything can be done in parallel across cores, and software hasn’t really kept up with what can be done, so yeah old computers still work fine if you don’t add bloat. Meanwhile, good luck running Windows Vista on a computer from the mid-90’s.
You can’t force people who don’t care to care. Like any therapist will tell you, you only control your own actions.
I guess you could just say “fuck them”, but isn’t the point of politics to help people who actually exist, flaws and all? People who aren’t really into politics are possibly a majority, and people that will put any serious effort into it are a (frustratingly) definite tiny minority. Bugging them anyway isn’t activism.
Apolitical exists. It’s existed in every country ever at about the same level, and probably is a slight majority. I actually don’t believe you haven’t noticed, at least where you live.
Slow technological progress compared to the fast-paced changes during the 1990s. The 2010s picked up the pace
What do you mean? Moore’s law died in the 10’s. You’re being reached by a device from early in them and it’s fine.
How do you say 00’s? There’s a few options, but none are universally understood when spoken. You end up saying the century as well just for that reason, even when it would be clear from context.
The 10’s come up IRL, as does that we’re in the 20s. People have been confused when someone is actually talking about the 1920’s. So, I’d say we’re good there.
Apolitical and standard-political heavily intermix.
Less so that .ml. If OP had asked over there most of the comments wouldn’t be shaming them.
Besides politics it’s mostly technology, and humour. That’s basically because only a very specific person has chosen to be on Lemmy at this point.
Here’s a couple at random that are humour:
!antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world
!reallyshittycopper@lemmy.world
And here’s a couple that are something else:
You’ll notice it’s mostly .world, because that’s by far the biggest instance, and also not very political.
Deal/TACO.
All Iran has agreed to, as far as I can tell, is opening the strait for a couple weeks so long as the US stops fighting completely. So, white peace, and with the possibility they negotiate actual concessions from the US later on.
And also just fully makes things up, sometimes.
It’s not actually communicating, it’s just writing convincing text. Because that’s all we can train it to do.
Sure, if we’re talking about writing for it’s own sake. Most of what people use AI for is, like, emails and advertising copy. Maybe porn. Book reviews and newsletters, per this article. It’s all writing that’s secondary to some other purpose.
Hmm. Do you dislike video games as well (except for, like, Tetris, with no NPCs)?
Most people latch on to the familiarity of other human-seeming things. It doesn’t even have to be very good; computers have been fooling people some of the time since the 60’s, just by steering the conversation to leave room for doubt. The human imagination and fixation on ourselves does the rest.
Or the uncanny valley voice at the drive-thru speaker saying “great choice!” to everything I order.
Interesting, so that’s started happening somewhere.
No, a couple million well organised protestors and 60% passive support are revolution numbers. This is well beyond that.
If the army and police are on our side, why bother with demands? Nobody else matters.
Yes. Plastic is actually a great material for anything you don’t want to break down.
If you want something that doesn’t break down until you want it to, and then breaks down, you might be asking too much. I’m not even sure animal leather qualifies after the chemical tanning process.
In the sense humans are “better” or “greater” or something? Well, consider the global biomass of bacteria compared to humans - they seem to be doing okay. Or that there’s more bacterial cells in you than human cells. Single-celled yeast evolved from mushrooms, barnacles evolved from something like shrimp or crabs, and there are eukaryotes that lost eukaryotic features like mitochondria because they didn’t need them to survive.
Buuut that’s besides the point. I’m not sure how to make it more clear, but I meant subtractive as in selection is just about who dies. Random mutation is what adds features and new species.
Me? I’m pretty heavily involved in IRL politics and have been for years.
I was nice to OP. That’s it.
