Just pull the trigger, we both know how this ends.

Start all the businesses with AI prompts! Run all the businesses with AI!

Even accidentally destroying capitalism is a good deed.

“Hi welcome to between two Nazis”

I used to call myself a “left libertarian” but to be frank, after learning more I’ve found that “anarchist” fits far better. And there’s a lot of interesting content out there that I enjoy. I’m not sure who all .world has defederated, but the solar punk instance is always great, our mods are great (Midwest social), some people may find them abrasive, but those are people who maybe don’t understand that when you play in someone else’s home, you play by their rules.

Also: blahaj, beehaw, and even hexbear is usually entertaining, even if I have some disagreements with them.

The point is, there’s a lot out there, depending on who you’re federating with.

I used to be very opposed to deer hunting. Until I took a biology course and there was some discussion about how humans have eliminated, or nearly eliminated all their natural predators in the United States.

The way their population ends up being controlled in the absence of those predators is disease, famine, and cars. Unless we hunt them sufficiently in areas where wolves in particular have been eliminated.

If you are hunting and wasting the resources of an animal you’ve culled, it’s absolutely unethical. But if you’re using all of the resources you can provide by the animal, and you’re hunting in an area where the only natural population control mechanisms are famine and disease, I’d argue that’s the most ethical way you can hunt in a modern society.

Is it not safe to expose externally with ssl yet?

“Circle, circle, dot, dot, now I’ve got my cootie shot. Your move Bank of America”

Wealth is a terminal, brain rotting illness.

Because they didn’t have to move the goal posts again because you hadn’t revealed yourself to be an ethicist.

“Pavement Princess”

I didn’t ask for your forgiveness. In fact, I may ring up Mariah this morning, just for this comment…

I’ve seen one flying around Lemmy since I’ve been here at least.

So how long till the Supremes rule that CBP is not only allowed to search your phone but also to perform colonoscopies at checkpoints 100 miles inland and sell the resulting videos to extremely wealthy perverts?

Beyond any issues with the owner of the company, these cars have multiple dangerous issues.

You cannot treat a company that makes physical stuff that can endanger lives the same way you treat a software company that makes a leisure activity platform.

Iterative design for a purely software environment is way more forgiving than iterative design for physical hardware or even software that interacts with physical hardware. You can profoundly fuck up the backend for a website and take the whole thing down until you could roll back to last known good production, you won’t kill anyone, but you’ll make the line go down temporarily.

If you profoundly fuck up an iteration on an embedded vehicle system and don’t catch it because you don’t respect safety regulation or existing engineering norms you can and will kill people.

Analogue doesn’t have firmware that can reject a device based on id.

So you can reverse engineer a replacement part if you absolutely have to.

I feel like if you’re gonna have a Bacchus statue, you need to expect his worshippers to come around.

Last week, used a package over a cake. Poke Cake.

“Man I’m just saying, committing the Laplace tables to memory and working with a slide rule just hits different.”

“Where does this green wire go?”

I appreciate HW engineers and techs. I’m not afraid of datasheets, circuit diagrams, or a mso and they’re always patient enough to explain things to me so I can make the rocks behave. Or at least tell me how to go from diagram to board lol.

That’s crazy. You can’t do six. It’s seven! SEVEN MINUTE ABS!
