Many of those questions aren’t particularly useful either. They may be interesting from a philosophical perspective but that’s the language of thinking, not the language of doing. I’ve written code in assembly language. I’ve looked at the output in binary. I can explain in basic terms what is happening there. Does that help anybody?

I would argue that it doesn’t because almost everyone writes code in higher level languages. Even if I can tell you what I know it doesn’t provide any practical information for you to use. Similarly, I could explain to you how long division works but the next time you need to divide two numbers you’re still going to reach for a calculator instead of a pencil and paper. What then is the point of lamenting the loss of knowledge that no one uses directly? It could be reconstructed from what remains if necessary but since it isn’t necessary it doesn’t matter.

I love it. Perhaps it would have been more effective to just do whatever they did to the swings at the other parks? Either way it’s good stuff

Fairphone does partner with Murena for e/os. It’s pretty similar to grapheoneOS

Fair enough. That isn’t how I interpreted the comment but you could be right

Who gives a fuck about showing the Nazis civility? Punch them in the dicks and take their shit

Who uses edge though

Seems like we could all just mellow out a bit. You shouldn’t need to be afraid of saying stuff that isn’t perfectly pc now or in the past. Obviously there’s a difference between an off color joke and shit you would find in the Epstein files but I’m not particularly concerned about anything I’ve posted coming back to me. I’ve had bad takes (I’m sure I still do) and said things in the past that I no longer agree with, but who cares? That’s what life is like. You change over time in more ways than one. If someone wants to judge me harshly for that then we probably don’t weren’t going to hang out anyway so fuck em. Let them react how they want.

That being said, the implications of this kind of technology being used by corporations or the government are quite different. There may be value in what you’re saying from that perspective.

Whoever wrote that prompt seems to think that other nations having their own ideologies is the worst thing possible. That’s a common attitude regarding geopolitics that I’ve never really understood, especially from a Western perspective where differences in opinion are supposed to be seen as valuable (at least in the theoretical sense).

That kind of thing is funny if done infrequently but annoying if it’s all the time. I hope your friend does actually laugh a good chunk of the time

Amazon isn’t the cheapest option in many cases. What you’re saying makes sense if people shop around, the problem is that they generally don’t.

A serious discussion about the ethics of bestiality? If that’s the kind of place you’re looking for I think you might have to create it yourself.

You heavily implied they did everything they could and that is not accurate. If that’s not what you meant to imply then your response makes no sense in context.

Is it fake news that any network of poor pedophiles would have been investigated, prosecuted, and imprisoned in much less than 4 years, not even including the time before Biden took office? Why the two separate standards?

Hopefully one of them succeeds before too long

Three screens is bad enough but at least give them headphones. That is ridiculous.

There can be multiple reasons for screens at restaurants

I’ve never heard a good one except from parents who have children with some kind of severe handicap. I know exactly what it’s like to go to a restaurant with children of all ages and for almost everyone screens are not required, acting like a parent is. You can tell the difference.

when you say you see kids glued to screens every time you go out, are you sure you don’t see any who aren’t?

Yes I’m sure.

Every time I go out to eat I see kids of all ages with their faces glued to a screen of some kind while mom and dad eat. Is that a last resort? It looks to me like laziness and a lack of engagement.

Are you talking about an NFC payment app like Google wallet? That’s not called a banking app in the US at least. A banking app is made by a bank and is essentially only used for checking account balances and transfers between accounts. Why can’t you use a credit card with an NFC chip in it?

Ok. Thanks for your contribution

Education and indoctrination are the same thing from different perspectives
