There’s bots on Lemmy that vote farm. There really is no sense to any of it.

I think that’s how the swingers movement started.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone go in for elective cosmetic surgery and come out looking better. There was end up looking like half melted shop mannequins.

Now he looks like he’s suffering from some bone wasting disease.

It’s from the darkest timeline.

.ml user, so probably proud of it.

What you have there is called a path.

You know I think that if we conducted an actual survey I suspect that most people would say that it already is.

Yeah because he was born before the age of cars, what a dick head.

I have no idea what point he is trying to make other than we need to just accept AI. The thing is his analogy doesn’t work, you were never supposed to be playing in the streets, that was always where the cars went They’re just didn’t used to be as many cars.

Humans are supposed to be using their brains on the regular, offloading cognitive effort is just going to result in there being two classes of human, the brainless trolls that need an AI to think about anything at all, and the smart people who actually get things done. The AI companies are just trying to advance the brainless zombie class as much as possible.

There are probably loads of introverted trust fund babies that we never hear about. It’s just the loud mouth ones that get all the attention

Yeah I prefer this option.

You’ve made a lot of claims above you haven’t provided evidence for any of them. You do realise that being a rude and dismissive isn’t a counter arguement don’t you?

Given that track record with VR they don’t even make an impact. The absolute best you can say for meta is that it’s employees get paid a lot which of course is why it’s still has employees.

If people want to make an impact they go work in a research lab not dick around with the latest flash in the pan nonsense tech.

How are they going to enforce a VPN ban?

Solar energy isn’t magic. Power efficiency losses are the same for all power generation sources.

Is Apple TV hardware any good because the app is appallingly bad. Even on a gigabit network connection it will drop connectivity and lag out. If you pause for more than about 1 minute it crashes and kicks you back into the main menu. It never seems to keep track of current shows and just shows a bunch of irrelevant stuff at the top which you have to always scroll past in order to get to what you actually want.

It makes Amazon TV look like a well polished product.

Research suggests that policing strategy may have put immigrants at a disadvantage by targeting only the most public forms of crime, while locals were more likely able to engage in the types of crimes that could be conducted behind locked doors.

The problem with “conducting your own research” is you also have to then read it.

That’s not how immigration works. That’s how the right want you to think it works.

I have literally never met anybody who has had their job taken by immigrants. Companies aren’t allowed to pay immigrants less money than the current citizens so there’s no reason to hire an immigrant over a citizen, in fact the opposite, a citizen is much more likely to understand the language and culture (although you do meet some people) and therefore much more able to integrate, and effectively operate in the business, whatever that business is.

If you want to emigrate into a country you have to usually prove that you’re not going to cost that country any money. You have to prove that either you have the means to support yourself, or that you already have an offer of employment. The only exceptions that are made are for people who are fleeing persecution or conflict. But the vast majority of potential immigrants do not meet that criteria.

Companies tend to be international. No matter what they might be telling the Trump administration in the United States if they’ve got solar desires in other parts of the world they’re going to pursue them without having to prostrate themselves at the altar of idiocy. Hell, they might get praise in other countries for pursuing solar.

So they know the economic benefits and they know their benefits would be doubled if they were operating in the US as well.

It’s Switzerland. You could close your eyes and shoot the bullet blindly, you would probably hit a billionaire.

Out of all the countries in the world that shouldn’t be implementing population caps, it’s Switzerland. The entirety economy is based on people and corporations moving there.

It’s exactly the same in the UK. The whole Brexit thing has been the unmitigated disaster that it was predicted that it was always going to be. It turns out that if you don’t let immigrants come into your country they can’t pick your crops for you they can’t drive your trucks and they can’t work in the hospitals (amazing who would have known).

It’s almost as if immigration is useful.
