  • in what way do you prefer using Lemmy over Reddit?

  • Not giving money or content to a shitty company is enough for me. Once I was here, I found out about the public modlog, the nature of the fediverse, and the love for Linux you people have. Also it feels kinda like, less karmawhoring content, because we don't have karma here. I don't know, this feels like it's shaped by communities for real.

  • The thing is without this, if you somehow exit steam, you are toast and need to plug a keyboard or access via ssh. Having a DE with controller support like this would indeed rock, as I stop depending on steam for launching things.

  • Eh, I get you, but the guy is my lead, and I'm a senior member. There is a bit of office politics involved here. My corporate-fu is not that good. Also there is a push to use AI tools from the top of the chain of command. I hate this, so much, but I need bring it in a more casual and friendly conversation.

  • The tech lead at my team started using AI to do code reviews he can't be bothered to properly do himself. His suggestions during reviews are now shit. I hate the future. I'm seriously thinking on taking a leadership position just because how much I hate this dynamic, to shield others and discourage AI usage from a higher ground.

  • What name do you have for the activity of making money using someone else work or data, without their consent or giving compensation? If the tech was just tech, it wouldn't need any non consenting human input for it to work properly. This are just companies feeding on various types of data, if justice doesn't protects an author, what do you think it would happen if these same models started feeding of user data instead? Tech is good, ethics are not

  • What is an opposite version of a cult ?

    Jump

  • Eeehhh, unless you read every paper ever, you are kinda trusting the process like a black box in most cases, aka, believing. The most papers you have read in your lifetime, the less true that statement is. There is also a whole section of philosophy about this topic.

  • What is an opposite version of a cult ?

    Jump

  • I know what you mean, but this is a fun exercise. The opposite of a Rat King clearly is a Cat Peasant. The opposite of an ant mill is trickier, there is no such machine that recomposes flour to make whole grains again, reversing the milling process, but the next similar thing would be making bread, so I pick Thermite Bakery.

    If cults need to protect their members and beliefs from society and laws to survive, and with religions both support each other, then the opposite of an cult would be a society that needs to protect their members and laws from beliefs, taking drastic measures to separate their members from said beliefs. I guess some sort of atheistic authoritarian state would be the opposite, on your scale. So, North Korea? It doesn't feel quite right because those authoritarian states depend on a cult of personality. Maybe some technocratic AI state? I don't know if there is something simpler I'm missing.

    The other way of thing it would be, the beliefs organization growing bigger and shallowing the society in that third stage, so people need to protect themselves from the big theocratic apparatus, taking drastic measures to restrict their members and separate them from the big theocracy, living in communities, farming and reading philosophy and cultivating science, educating each other? This is somewhat similar to the setting in V for Vendetta. Also reminds me of what people do in some places dominated by Islamic theocracy, a very cult like way of gathering in secret at houses, sharing banned books, and literally risking their lives for even discussing such things at their homes.

    But I agree with you, OP needs to define better the difference perceived between cults and religions, so we can extrapolate a better answer.

  • It matters because when you try to build something new, you choose the path of least resistance. I'm not justifying it, I'm explaining it. Also, guess who doesn't gives shit about E2EE? Average Joes.

    I agree with you, but still your idea of garbage is not shared by the general population. Remember that telegram got traction because it falsely claimed that it was secure, or at least more secure than WhatsApp.
