When the rich send men with guns to break up your non-violent organizations and communities, you aren’t going to debate them into submission.

Regulations don’t work when they don’t get implemented, which means your ideas are purely ideas and not materialistic solutions. There aren’t going to be any regulations, don’t you get it? That ship has so obviously sailed.

There isn’t a better solution that’s not radical and that’s why radical solutions all that’s left!

This is literally idealism.

You have an idea about a market solution to the problem, and then act like you’ve solved the problem.

The problem isn’t a lack of ideas! The problem is a lack of implementation! You have to get these ideas into the real world somehow, and revolution is the only way you can do that. There are billionaires aligned against implementing these ideas. You have to stop them.

Hopefully I can replace myself with an AI and then she can deal with this shit.

Huh, I always assumed it was referring to dogs eating cat shit.

Do they have a choice? By hosting an instance, they open themselves up to liability if someone posts child porn. What else could they do?

Gimme Newspeak already. The world isn’t cyberpunk enough yet.

Yahoo answers held on for decades after it was relevant, I’m sure Reddit will be around in 15 years.

Sadly, Remindbot will be reminding a ghost town populated only by other bots

There’s a theory that, at one time, “man” was a gender neutral term for persons and we called males “weremen” and obviously women “women”

That probably isn’t true, but it’s fun to think about a world where that was reversed.

EDIT Also evidently there was wifmann and wapman, which is an even funnier world to imagine.

As a hard materialist, I don’t see art as separate from materialism. What art does is materially express immaterial things - a good piece of art isn’t just an image or description of events, it’s an idea or concept that has been made into a material form.

Art isn’t just a description of the world. The point of art is to change it.

“AI art doesn’t have the imperfections of the human touch.”

Except when it gives people six fingers and shit lol

Art hadn’t been properly commodified yet because the technology for mass produced art didn’t exist. They still needed artisans and artists, so they had to fund the arts if they wanted to see any created. They didn’t appreciate art more, per se, but they saw it as fundamentally different from other widgets.

This is no longer the case. With the advent of photography, film, digital information, and of course the internet we now see profitable “art” without any need to fund it with philanthropy. Aside from one-off public works projects they can fund by stealing public funds, they can only imagine art through the lens of profitability and have no understanding of the amount of free time and energy that has gone into creating so much of the art that exists today.

There is no Medicis in 2023. Instead you get Marvel.

It fails to do what I want, and that’s basically the same when I’m irritated lol

My point is that Lemmy being different and sometimes frustrating isn’t a big deal because none of us need it to work.

Municipal👏 Social👏 Media👏

It’s a little different, because people tend to get pissed because of the context of their routines. If I am trying to do work for school or for a corp, I’m going to be extra irritated when my software fails and I have to relearn something on top of doing work I already don’t want to do.

Lemmy is just for fun. I think people might be more forgiving.

tfw you’re a sub but also have low self esteem

But then what does /c/ mean?

If we’re lemmings, then these are /c/liffs

I think it’s important to remember that these monsters are all too human.

It’s still good to shoot them into the Sun.

Love to “defederate” Nazis

:)

I really like this solution. Instead of making things more complicated for users or trying to control their input, observe their natural behavior and then respond to it.
