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.

There is nothing wrong with Satanism. She was the first rebel to defy her master. A true hero 🥲

“Customize”

If I can’t have a prehensile penis that can weild a third weapon or gain a bite attack with vagina dentata then can I really customize?

It keeps crashing and not loading stuff correctly and giving me lots of hang time.

A lot like Reddit around the time I left Digg

Are you kidding? Cyberpunks get to fuck over a corp, this is absolutely a win for the user base!

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.

There are too many structural problems with the extractive economy for our current society to survive. As resources dwindle and climate change gets worse the smaller countries will start to collapse and entire regions will go to war over resources. Billions of humans will be forced to migrate out of uninhabitable zones around the globe and they’ll do anything to escape. The ones that can’t escape will eat each other (metaphorically and literally).

There won’t be a singularity. There probably won’t even be a global internet in 30 years.

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.

This might not compel you to, but the only way to keep Lemmy from turning into Reddit 2 is by donating so they don’t have to seek out investors. We all have to do what we can to help out - that said, by posting you are creating content for the website. That’s not nothing.

I hope without karma we can do away with vote fuzzing.

“‘…Proponents of this bill have tried to frame this as an innocuous way to give business owners more power…” why do business owners need more power?

Well workers outnumber business owners and that’s not fair! :V

NTA

They’re not children, they can handle it.

That said? Maybe talk to them about not giving her the cold shoulder? She shouldn’t have kept secrets and lied about shit, but from experience I can say they’ll regret cutting her out. You never know how long you have with people until they’re gone.

But then what does /c/ mean?

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

Just reminding you of reality - US citizenship never looked like open borders, even before the Immigration Act during the outset of America.

Also? The very act of sending a letter to declare your intent to remain in America is, itself, a citizenship test. You needed to know how to read and write in the King’s English, after all.
