Would there be any aspect of defense you would consider? For example another comment mentioned situational awareness, etc. Basically weapons systems which might STOP them from being used on civilians?

We’re definitely a subset of it! And you could argue that any machinations therein are a part of nature, but then again I also think that if you have a computer running a simulation, while the computer is the substrate the simulation is run on, it’s also a bit separate. One way to think about it is that there isn’t really a “place” in the computer you can look and find the simulation. So too is our society. Nature (us) is its substrate, but you can’t really point to anywhere in nature with any kind of precision and say “ah, there is the society”.
Your last sentence made me think. It’s not necessarily true that the employees’ benefit does not increase, but what if it didn’t?
Normally employees gain experience and the money to hopefully move away from their current position, but it’s a great point that capitalism has no response to positions of pure stagnation. I don’t think that the answer is communism, but introducing social systems around those edge cases in the economy is incredibly important.
I use proton and absolutely love it!
Unfortunately this bonkers truth is so mundane at this point, I didn’t need to read passed “freedom”
The nice thing is we aren’t really “competing” so to speak. I definitely want lemmy to grow, but the community can be a .0001% chunk of the internet and I would be totally happy as long as it were a kind, useful, and fun chunk
It was certainly fun back in the day. I was in middle school when I noticed everyone around me starting to use it and it was a bit of a mixed bag for me… at that point not everything was social media so it wasn’t such a hellscape and was a bunch of fun, but even then I think it had a negative impact on me, my friends, and our social lives. I don’t know what it was like before, but seeing that a popular kid had a huge number like 100 notifications on their Facebook could not have been healthy—I don’t think that kids need analytics on how socially successful they are
Geez it’s just so incredibly sad to me that facebook has survived this long and even THRIVED while probably being the worst version of what they do, and being the most evil doing it
It actually seems like an interesting problem to solve. Instance runners have the sql database with all the voting record, finding manipulative instances seems a bit like a machine learning problem to me
They probably don’t need to make a whole platform to do this, though. Couldn’t they just slurp the data right out of ActivityPub without making Threads? Either way, I’m dismayed that meta is managing to YET AGAIN convince people that this time they’ll be good
Now I only upvote in comments so they’re super public.

Unfortunately they could just spin up a lemmy instance on some anonymous server somewhere and do that anyway. I don’t want them in here, but they can certainly already pull the data up. To me that necessitates some form of anonymizing protocol, or even a form of shared encryption making it so you can’t simply pull data in, you need to be invited or allowed into the federation.
Literally just did this on Saturday. It was easy to do and I’m not seeing any significant changes in resource utilization. I am enjoying being able to directly download media onto my phone with Infuse, however.
Let me tell you that it’s worth it. You could probably start with a pi with some external storage for a while depending on how big your library is… but getting some metal to run proxmox over is very very nice (and unfortunately very addicting)
Whew I’m glad I just started up my jellyfin server!
Love it! That’s actually my main party trick, it’s either asking a whole ton of questions and if that doesn’t work I try to steer the conversation into the approximately 30 minutes of material I have on birds. I used to be a crazy nightmare in uber pools, I think
I feel that… I just wish I had something interesting to post or say lol.
I think that I agree with you in general on your first point. A business isn’t a person, it doesn’t have a religion, it can’t have an opinion on people. But we’re talking about a small business. If someone is running a web design company, they don’t have a huge staff, they’re just one person, so their individual convictions are at play, don’t you think?
The example you give in your second point isn’t quite congruent with this case, taxes are not speech. We’re talking about speech. Now I have a personal conviction that the USA shouldn’t be spending nearly so much on the military, but unfortunately for me, my taxes, and many people around the world, I don’t have a say in the matter. If someone said something like “I don’t want to pay this tax because it’s being spent on something antithetical to my religious belief” even there, it’s not speech.
Software engineer… we also use all 16 digits of pi
