Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

Yes, my brilliant plan to get off the fediblock list (that I added myself to)

The deep state doesn't want them to know this, but checkmarks on the fediverse are free.

I've seen the future, and it's interconnected and decentralized. The idea that we'd make the same mistake again and give all the power to one website we don't control and the stock market does seems crazy -- we've already seen how that movie ends.

Worth the 10 minutes. Way more harrowing than you'd think for a bunch of microbes.

The blue bits are possibly archaea. Not much to look at at 400x, but cool to know they're there.

In Quebec?

Because that actually would be interesting.

To be fair, the whitest guy you know is only white, and not orange.

Whether it's bad or not really depends on the skin color, as we know.

"Oh no! His immune system is black!"

"It's cancer! Shoot! Shoot!"

>and that's when we decided profiling the immune system wasn't a good idea.

I remember at the time they were trying to change the fact that most cars looked exactly the same so this pos car was supposed to invoke old cars for boomers (or maybe their retired parents?)

awww shiiiiit

Trying not to be cringe is cringe (big brain) / Zen Mastery comes by embracing the cringe and transcending it (zen mastery)

If we assume arguendo that ChatGPT is always correct, then it's still just a chat bot, and has some fundamental limitations in how it can interact with a student.

It's limited to displaying text or reading with a tts, and being interacted with using voice recognition or text. It can't see. It can't hear (it might hear words if it has voice recognition, but nothing else). It can't hear emotions. It can't see the look on someone's face. It has no body, it can't gesture, it can't draw (another solution can draw, but it isn't as impressive as chatgpt yet in a lot of ways), it has no sense of the energy in the room, it has no sense that someone is interested or not, it generally isn't going to be driving the lesson, it doesn't have the attention span to follow a short-term or long-term lesson plan.

So I think it'll be like a lot of things -- a tool, but nowhere near an apocalyptic tool.

Now, on the other hand, I think teachers should be more concerned that a lot of the people having kids don't necessarily trust public education is going to help their kids. Not only is the number of kids in general collapsing, but of those homeschooling, charter schools, and private schools are booming.

I pretty routinely got my hands on Atari 2600s back in the day because when you're a kid, you take what you can get and they were all around yard sales.

The problem right now is that the ecosystem is set up to favor ultramassive legal constructs. Relying on an imperfect human method to directly intervene I think is doomed to fail, which is why I'd prefer coming up with a method that puts increasing pressure on businesses as they grow so they will be naturally inclined to reach an equilibrium in the market rather than trying to become the one business to rule them all.

I agree with that, and I think the way you limit the power of business is to start eliminating the regulations that make them more than just the people who own it. No special protections, no special rules that apply just to businesses, if you're a company it's just a convenience to keep the resources of the owner who is ultimately the conduit through which the company's existence flows, and to whom consequences for the company's actions will flow back.

On the fediverse, we ban reddit!

I'd really like to see more people contributing to the Lemmy/lotide part of the fediverse instead of staying in the reddit ecosystem.

Community forums used to be a thing and still are in some instances. It would take things to a new level if those forums could be hosted by the communities they serve but also be accessible to everyone through the fediverse they already participate in so you get benefits of distributed platforms but also the aggregation of unified platforms.

There's some nice things about arm and risc-v being open source is cool but here's the thing: I have a nice Linux arm laptop. There's so much infrastructure on PC architecture you immediately notice if you're not using it.

To get Linux on the laptop and using all the hardware, it was a multi year ordeal including mashing multiple distros from dodgy unmaintained GitHub repositories together.

Until I see more robustness from other platforms supporting software infrastructure, I'm keen to stick with x86-64 despite the potential advantages.

As opposed to the long established reality that fighting wildfires creates stronger wildfires because it's repressing the natural lifecycle of a forest
