I'd hate on any country that was the bloodthirsty, manipulative, living incarnation of capitalist interests at the world level, the US just happens to be that.

If you use my snippet, I want your game. If you don't agree, then you can't use my snippet. The purpose of the GPL is simply to prevent people who don't share from benefitting from people who do, which I think is pretty fair.

The reason some desires are universal is that they are achievable, thus it makes sense that an entity that looks for them exists. And we don't yearn for God, we yearn for happiness, empathy and staying alive, and some of us have created a conceptual entity that gives us an infinite supply of those.

I'm a Marxist-Leninist, member of an organized group.

I believe countries try to shape and weaponize citizens' opinions about other countries, so I refuse to defend or criticize them unless I can argue that doing so is beneficial to my ideas (i.e., not based on feelings or ethics). Thus, I'm neutral towards most countries and defend multipolarity.

I tend to doubt my ideas as much as I can.

There is not a single Reddit, but there's a single Fediverse, offering a single alternative to every social media. And it's growing faster than ever. We shall win!

Nah it's great to have all of you here <3 I literally screenshot the (presemably) last time a post of mine actually went to the top haha. As long as users from the soon-to-blackout r/PCM don't start flame wars with lemmygrad, we will be okay.

First subreddit over 10M to go private. The message shown when trying to enter the sub is a quote from spez:

I think the problem Digg had is that it was a company that was built to be a company, and you could feel it in the product. The way you could criticize Reddit is that we weren't a company – we were all heart and no head for a long time. So I think it'd be really hard for me and for the team to kill Reddit in that way. Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit, April 2023

I've been upvoting every comment and thread since I joined lol. Now for the first time it's actually becoming harder to keep track of them!

I've had a great time on Lemmy since I joined over 2y ago. But well, can't keep all the fun to ourselves, right? :) Now this place is all yours too. Welcome aboard!

Do you expect this is a reflection of how Reddit will handle relations with its investors?

Holy shit, they killed him right there. They have put the thread in "sort by new" mode and I bet it's just to bury that bomb as deep as they can.

It's Reddit but federated. A federated service is one that works like e-mail, i.e. there are multiple providers/servers/instances but all of them are connected so it doesn't matter which one you choose. Additionally, Lemmy is federated to other services (e.g. Mastodon), forming what's known as the Fediverse.

[-] pancake@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

Well, it's working right now, isn't it? If the load increases n times and donations also increase n times, it will keep working just fine.

Lemmy and the Fediverse. Select 'Active last month' for best estimation of actual activity. E.g., this is the current burst in Lemmy due to the Reddit exodus:

It's multiplied by 4 or 5 and still increasing.

ChatGPT will gobble up every symbolic manipulation task I give to it. At worst, sometimes I have to check its output and point out anything weird, then it'll correct it.

I'm writing pages over pages of scary differential equations and the damn thing is saving me lots of time on it. And everything checks out! I wonder about GPT 4, since it is supposed to give correct answers without help as often as the average calculus student...

Opinions on Worldcoin? (worldcoin.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by pancake@lemmy.ml to c/cryptocurrency@lemmy.ml

I'm not sure what to think about this project. "Accelerating the transition to an economic future that welcomes and benefits every person on the planet" sounds like a good idea, especially coming from the person that stated his tech would "break capitalism". And starting by giving some of the currency to every person on the planet, for free, is an assertive way to make this goal credible.

Of course, it's probably a cryptocurrency that will be used for speculation. And my bias in favor of blockchain technology, which I believe can be used for good, is not sufficient to make me trust the project.

Should probably talk to my psychiatrist so I get a change in my medication. Every time I start many weird projects, feel like I can easily change the world or have invented something that can, need basically no sleep and/or get aggressively political (even religious), I know the drill... At least I'm not paranoid though. Hope the best for you all too <3 Also sorry if I've bothered someone these days, it really wasn't my intention.
