It doesn't have to take all the jobs. If it can take most of the fake jobs we've invented over the years, it will be massively destructive to our way of life. It seems to already have that level of capability.

Funny that you assume education will lead to some sort of egalitarian society. What do you think the point of modern education is? We all take the course in evolution and natural selection, whether we want to or not. We all study history. We all fraternize and learn the little political games or we drop out. Some of us recieve a degree in hard knocks. Why shouldn't the educated be more cutthroat than the rest of us?


I didn’t make the point that education automatically leads to an egalitarian society.

I made the point that humans can be educated to care for one another(indoctrination if you will).


It would be convenient if it's cultural because it would explain why transfeminine nerds retain "masculine" nerdy interests while avoiding a faux pas.

Calling it a faux pas implies that being treated as women is a tiny, inconsequential thing for trans women. It means the world to me.

If I "retained" masculine interests, it's because I still enjoyed them, even after I no longer felt pressure to act like a man.

I played Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, and preferred beautiful/cute games before I realized I was trans. I probably would have played more if I didn't care about my friends calling me a f--. I also like plenty of "guy" things but so do plenty of cis women. I had this exciting period of trying all sorts of new things when I came out and I'm only just starting to see what I truly enjoy when I don't worry about the opinions of others.


It's the init in the cpio which is the interpeted program, and the rest of the cpio is memory for this interpeted progam.

How is it interpreted? Something that you load into memory and then set the processor's Instruction Pointer at is not interpreted at all. And in case /init is a shell script, it's not the kernel doing the interpreting -- the interpreter would be /bin/sh, which would still be loaded into memory and executed by the processor. Claiming that machine code is "interpreted" because it still needs to be finalized by a loader is not a clever gotcha -- it's ignorant erasure of relevant distinctions.

fairphone support for pmOS is improving. What DE were you using? It was probably just slow on the pinephone.

librem 5 is also an option. It is sorta expensive and weak but is the most capable.

right now im on calyxos but development has been paused for like a year


It was a long time ago, so I don't remember. Phosh or Plasma. I tried to like Sxmo, but it was really unintuitive, unlike tiling WMs on Linux.

Fairphones seems OK, although for €549 I'll probably stick to a dumb phone and invest in a better laptop for now. I'm not saying it's too expensive for what it is, though - it's still a tiny computer with all kinds of periphery.

I just wish there was a version with a shitty camera for €50 less or with no Bluetooth for €10 less - you get the idea.

Interestingly, when I went to

https://www.fairphone.com/shop-home

the prices for the headphones were lower for a few seconds and got higher afterwards.

€186.75 -> €249

€74.25 -> €99

while the phone price remained the same. Both are increases of 33.(3)%. Probably a script that determined my location and added a VAT.


Surely AI has to take a shit eventually. What's all this racket about water usage?

I think their point is that by giving the gov control of monetary policy, you give the executive branch access to an unrestricted lever of taxation. They support "normal" taxation because they are easier to control than inflation


Trump won on anti-war talking points. His owners had other ideas.


Anyone that believed that should be locked in a psycward

You chose to use AWS


And to steal all my data and put it in RAM.

it seems infeasible that blue origin could pull this off at an adequate scale.


Still pretty good considering 17B is what one would run on a 16GB laptop at Q6 with reasonable headroom
