American dad here. Yes, it’s trash.

Moved to Japan for my son and the difference is night and day. People here are shocked and disgusted when I tell them what I ate for school lunches as a kid.

iPhone with plans to switch to GrapheneOS on a pixel soon.

I see. Thanks.

Thanks. OK good, they deserve it then.

Personally I believe there’s more to dreams than pure biology, and similarly that there’s more to consciousness than the materialist/emergence line of thought. They are the mysteries within, like the inside of black holes are to astronomy.

Is there some context here which relates this to Palestine?

I’m all for it. Let’s all cut back, invest in batteries and solar panels, and go off the grid.

We just moved out of the US, and we were planning on buying a car in our new home, but we might just do a couple of e-bikes instead. Especially considering our new home gets the majority of its oil via the straight of Hormuz.

I’m already shopping for solar panels.

The question he was answering was “why didn’t you tell your allies (like Japan) before attacking Iran?”

So his sarcastic answer of “why didn’t you tell the US before attacking us in WWII?” is dumb, tone deaf, and offensive.

Dumb because Japan and the US were enemies when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor… so why tf would the tell us beforehand? The question was “Why didn’t you tell your allies you were going to attack Iran,” not “Why didn’t you tell Iran you were going to attack Iran?”.

Tone deaf because he’s trying to making a joke in response to a serious question about war, and bringing up a sensitive topic between our two countries.

And offensive because he’s making it sound like Japan were the only ones who did awful things when we fought in WWII. Hot take probably, but the US did far more heinous things to Japan in WWII than they did to the US.

What I did:

Deleted the app. I still go directly to the subreddit pages I want to see (in a browser), but without logging in, and without ever looking at the home feed.

I haven’t commented on Reddit or used the app in months now. TBH, I’m even annoyed I have to go over there for my niche subs, because I hate the advertisements. I really do enjoy lemmy more than Reddit now.

The author says “this must be emergent behavior, can we call this AGI now?”

But there are no details on how the agent assumed control of the computer. Like, if it found the guy’s IP and used a zero day to hack his computer, sure, it’s AGI. But I think it’s much more likely the guy gave the agent access through some integration/API beforehand.

It’s still cool, and creepy, but it’s not as crazy as the guy is making it out to be.

I’ve set up a few gitlab servers at companies and it’s always been well received. Doing it from scratch may be more complex than you want, but I think there are docker images for a more turnkey type solution. And the option of building CI/CD pipelines in the future is always nice to have.

The more I think about this the I like it.
