Human nature on its deathbed when it realizes it forgot to account for Karl Marx

You should try assembly. Pure goto hell

Good linux mobile OSs already exist, but phones' hardware is still proprietary and messed up, so it is very difficult to provide a good hardware support for those mobile OSs

Did they actually decide against mass scanning for good or are they just going to rebrand it again? I'm confused

Oh boy, I got so confused when I was a beginner and some American kid told me "would of" is an alternative to "would have"

What's interesting, "-lingus" in cunnilingus and "lingua" are actually connected. "Lingua" used to be "dingua" but then mixed with the verb "lingo" (I lick) because, well, tongues do lick.

Also both dingua and lingo are cognates to English toungue and lick.

Anyway sorry for being boring!

This! Steam is the only proprietary program I use on my Linux machines that I'm actually happy with and don't want to get rid of

It's just rejecting your responsibility in the way you behave. "It's not me, it's the nature"

For me everything after childhood seems to be the best part of life, because after you grow up you finally can make your life the way you want and if you have enough strength you can make it absolutely wonderful.

Childhood can be cool too but only if you happen to be born to a good family.

The will to understand other people and to grow as a person yourself.

While klling an animal for food is sure destructive for the animal, it is constructive for the humanity. It allows us to get all those proteins "for free" instead of producing them ourselves from plants like herbivores do and invest the saved energy in our intelligence to create beautiful and complex things. Whereas copulating with an animal is pure destruction. It harms the living being and leads to no babies and no emotional bond strengthening (contrary to human sex).

Eating animal is still a contradiction, because destruction is there. So I think this problem does need to be somehow overcome. But at least it's outweighed by its positive effects, unlike zoophilia.

It is getting worse. Humanity is entering a deeper and deeper crisis. Alienation is growing with each passing year. The inner contradiction in every one of us is getting more intense, which manifests itself in more external conflicts: between people, between people and nature, between everything.

That being sad, this crisis just highlights the slow death of the previous, deeply troubled era and marks the transition to another way of living. The destructive aspect of things, that we all suffer from, is therefore not absolute. It is not going to destroy neither us nor the world around us. It is balanced off by the progress that we're making.

Take 3d printing, for example. If you think of it, it is actually the (very) beginning of something fundamentally new: local automated production. Automation eliminates the routine part of producing goods, which makes the process creative again, while not compromising on efficiency. This leads to production becoming a means of self-actualisation rather than something that takes away all your freedom. And since the process of making new things gives you value instead of taking it, the need for charging others for using your creations vanishes, giving way to free exchange and collaboration. This, if applied globally, would solve the fundamental issue of our current society, where creating good takes away just as much, making any growth a form of self-destruction. And solving that would spare us of all different kinds of problems, ranging from pollution, wars to emotional abuse.

So I think by getting worse it's also getting better and these difficult times we've happened to live in are still marvelous.

P.S. Apart from 3d printing, there's, of course, free software movement as well, which in my opinion is also part of the global free production evolution

TikTok is about stupid and addictive entertaining shorts. Loops doesn't have those, so it might appear as more boring, but I think it's healthier and so this is a plus.

Gotta love Finnish philosophy!

That's true of many platforms but I think Lemmy is an example of the exact opposite. I just registered on my instance and now I get loads of interesting content from the general feed.

In fact Reddit, which is supposed to have more content, failed to get me using it because I just found it boring, unlike Lemmy.

I've been there. For me, personally, the problem was that I was so afraid to open up and worshipped so much other people that I pretty much lost myself. I ended up being surrounded by people who aren't interested in me, who don't fit me. And then when I started discovering myself, opening up more and being more sincere, I just attracted the right people who I always know what to talk about and who are interested in me. But this is of course my personal experience, your situation might be entirety different.

Oh wow, it's so cool you speak Esperanto! Can you share your experience with it? Where do you use it? What good Esperanto communities are there? Do you find it actually useful? In what ways did it enrich your life?

You don't even need to be an experienced developer to see how bad AI created code is. AI just hallucinates too much. I tried asking ChatGPT to write a fairly simple shell script script for me a few times and it added non-existent commands or references EACH times.

Honestly I think AI has other fields of application. It's good when you do something yourself but need an approximation about something. However trying to replace humans with it is just a sign of misunderstanding of the technology. AI shouldn't be called Artificial Intelligence in the first place (damn good marketing tho). It's more like a way of automating statistics.

Hasn't it kind of already started? All these individual wars are always backed up by either of the two big economic blocks: China and its allies vs. USA and its allies. It really looks like a rehearsal before a full-blown confrontation.

Most of these just seem to be features of decentralisation. And if decentralisation isn't your thing, neither is Lemmy honestly. Just stick to Reddit.

I really think Fediverse shouldn't be thought of as an alternative to proprietary social media that any average user can just switch to. There's a completely different mindset behind it, where you're not a passive consumer but a creator and a developper, responsible for the growth of the project the same way its original creators are. Same thing as with Windows and Linux.
