Yeah was going to say, there's certainly aversion to tech that can be paralleled assuming AI has a positive future state. But yeah, WIFI, Cellphones, television, radio waves, all things people feared without propor understanding, that are now standard parts of reality.

If hypothetically AI etc... gets close to actual sentience, artificial life may begin the culture war of attempting for personhood, fight for rights etc... in which case there will be a discussion, and assuming like all past personhood battles in the end AI is decided to have reached actual status of living... then yes those who are late to the bandwaggon and continuing to fight will be viewed just like our racists homophobes etc... But there is very little evidence that any current day AI has anything resembling feelings, wants desires etc... and just because this may be the predicessor to an AI that will. doesn't make hating chatgpt any worse than hating a doorbell.

Hell if somehow we were to discover say chatgpt actually has sentience right now in it's current used form... no one could be favorable in the current view, as even the staunchest supporters of AI, are only looking at it as slave work etc... There's not even room or a case for letting AI's be free for life, liberty and the pursuit of happyness (which, is because with our understandings none of those are applicable to it).

I mean pretty sure winrar runs just fine on WINE.

Though perhaps it's about seeing how many years into the 40 day trial you can go.

The actual history of the meme... it started as an MS paint sketch where they were looking to a flat earth. With just the first saying "WTF it's flat" one behind saying "sorry fam". The more popular follow up was one where they were looking, except the only land mass on earth was a giant state of ohio, and second astronaut responded with "always has been".

Oh as far as the idea that they didn't look at it in transit, no idea... though I suppose it's more reasonable that this is the first spacewalk or whatever. Would imagine most the trip up, you'd be looking ahead rather than back at earth. Also I suppose depends on the subtletly or lack there of of what earth is "all".

More importantly even then... IE there's absolutely been cases of streamers attracting crazy stalkers etc...

But proportionally they are extremely few. Would be insanely unlikely for the kind of person that's obsessed with them, also being a door dash driver, happening to have come across the streamers address. (from my recolection of my very brief time helping my GF door dash, when deciding which jobs to take, you only get the restraunt and the distance, only learn where the delivery is going after.

So hypothetically even if I knew Logan Pauls address. I'd have to camp out near restaurants near him... time my working when he might be ordering, guess which restaurant he's ordering from... Honestly it seems like a plan that would take years to hit all the boxes to go with... probably more efficiant to camp out on streets I think he'd walk down or break in to his house the old fashioned way if I already had that level of information.

Easy because the standards... in short the democratic party would be considered far right of acceptable in their country... our republicans would just be laughed out as so fringe it's ridiculous.

I don't believe he was arguing that Mahmound is a Nazi. He's noting that Trump, Elon, the far right etc... defend the hell out of Nazi's and white supremicists with "I'm not saying I agree with it, but I'll defend your right to say it, we're free speach purists", right up until someone with ideology that strongly opposes their views starts also talking... then it's shut him up, get rid of him.

That's literally the thing though, and perhaps where the USSR went wrong. There is no magic bullet that would make a small nation able to survive a large attack, asside from strong allies with a ton of bigger nations, and sadly being different, and a possible threat to the status quo, doesn't help with that.

That's like saying being a serial killer helps survival over being a law abiding citizen that cares about others. Proof when I put a law abiding citizen and a serial killer in a locked room... the law abiding citizen doesn't live as long. Of course the reality is, being a serial killer is evolved as the exception rather than the rule in humans, because, with numbers not making enemies is a more succesful strategy than always making them.

But 2 large economies tried to impliment communism... while engaged in a cold war against much more entrenched ideologies, while having corrupt leaders and they didn't do it well.

I think that is a current weakness that's being worked on, I'm seeing requests of more or less that https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4485

to make it federate or block, but unless I'm missing much newer updates, that is kind of the problem. My guess is on the whole it mostly resolves itself as... he probably will piss off the mods of cafe eventually as well, and the limited audience of only being visible to cafe would result in a near shadow ban effect to mostly starve them out.

well we're talking tarrifs, what are the penguins exporting to the US...

and I suppose maybe they aren't doing a good enough job combating fentonyl crossing over to the US.

So... it's entirely because we don't do enough business with russia right now.

God damn, how much are the penguins shipping over here.

That's my understanding of it, I'm not an expert so.. I'm only giving 70% confidence in my answer.
