it’s the vehicle of nostalgia hitting the wall between the past and the future

2·9 months agowhat current deep dives into relativity are you talking about? WHAT AM I MISSING, PLEASE RESPOND, I NEED TO KNOW 😭😭😭😢
1·11 months agocome to our matrix chat room where we discuss how to enable the fediverse for new users:
Yes, it is possible. I think it will be something like this:
where proprietary software will eventually be replaced by FOSS software. it just takes a while (Linux was released in 1991).
also, for social media, it’s not so much about the software used, more about who controls it, and hosting plays a significant part in this. the question is, how do we put up an organization large enough to actually sustain that many users?
who pays for image/short video upload for a billion people? small instances on the fediverse already cost real money. feddit.org has 1000 users and reportedly already costs $1000/month to host, IIRC (which seems expensive, even to me, anyways), and catbox.moe, which is a donation-funded service also costs around $1000 (says so on their website). that number would obviously increase sharply if there were more users. So: who pays for it?
We obviously live in a matrix/simulated world, and it can’t be older than 50 years, because before that, computers didn’t exist. Checkmate christians.

People are freaking out because for years, the central dogma was to “educate yourself, that makes you special, that makes you unique, that guarantees you a prosperois economic future” and such, and now this promise is about to be broken. People are in denial: AI is a good thing.
IMO Debian is already pretty far middle-ground. The packages are new enough for my personal usage.
They wouldn’t wear a leash because they aren’t a dog.
You might also be interested in the Panopticon.
In humans, there’s good things and there’s bad things. But most of it is actually in-between.
If you take out everything bad, that satisfies you for the moment. And then you go on, looking for further progress. You take out the almost-bad, the somewhat-bad. In the end, it leaves only the good. But that is not enough for a human to live on.
Constant surveillance leads to burnout and extremely high stress-levels.
Currently in a very inter-disciplinary field where the different mathematicians have their own language which has to be translated back into first software, then hardware. It’s so confusing at first till you spend 30 minutes on wikipedia to realize they’re just using an esoteric term to describe something you’ve used forever.
Yeah, this happens a lot. I studied math and I often got the impression that when you read other researcher’s work, they describe the exact same thing that you have already heard about, but in a vastly different language. I wonder how many re-inventions and re-namings there are of any concept simply because people can’t figure out that this thing has already been researched into. It really happens a lot, where 5 people discovered something, but gave them 5 different names.
it’s the main component of a meal.
1·1 year agoOh that’s great news! We’re accelerating our development towards burn outs! Wait …
4·1 year agoTheir grass really is greener, and our local vendors should be trying harder.
My response to this is always the same: Our software is FOSS, if you don’t like some parts of it, go fork and improve it yourself, instead of demanding that somebody else does the work for you.
It’s a meme because it first makes you laugh, and then it makes you think.
As of April 2021, PLOS One charges a publication fee of $1,745 to publish an article.
I mean, seriously, I would like to publish to one of these, but who has the money to do that?
Well, there is people that write assembly language code directly.
i think a lot of people simply couldn’t have imagined computers back in 1900. that is simply because computers are a rapid qualitative progress instead of just a quantitative one.
