Not sure either of these counts fully as what OP is looking for, but -

The idea of the technological singularity feels right to me. There’s a whole section on the wikipedia page about scientific objections to it, and I get that, but if we don’t kill ourselves before then, it seems like an event that almost has to occur at some point, to me. And maybe it zigs instead of zags and we get star trek. Or maybe it zags and we get terminator. But probably neither of those I’m guessing, and these days it’s hard to imagine that it would put humanity on a worse trajectory than we seem to be on today.

Similarly, but less seriously (for me) I like to consider the whole “maybe we’re in a simulation” theory.

That was fantastic!

It’s just penny pinching.

For the record I wasn’t disagreeing with your point or criticizing it at all. Just trying to give some context that might explain what you were observing.

This would indicate its not a cut and dry as the youtuber suggests and also I would assume he is not a historian(no clue who he is) so its unclear why his opinion or definition of computer program should usurp that of most historians who would recognise a term may change over time and be less well defined initially when inspiring a new technology?

He’s a long-standing member of the tech pundit community (dare I say the Linux community), and in recent years has been exposed as antivax, anti-woke, and a bigot. Before that he was just a confident sounding asshole with sometimes interesting opinions.

Been there, had that conversation.

People are right generally about billionaires.

But she’s constantly in the news doing nice things with her money. Certainly she’s doing more good with it than other billionaires I could name.

Maybe the answer to your question is that she already has.

Also on Lemmy you can see the moderation history for any user or comment.

Do with that info what you will. It’s very helpful sometimes when folks claim mod abuse.

This is why I usually try not to label myself these days. Invariably there is nuance that I’m not aware of, or that some others interpret differently.

I’m NOT a democrat, republican, conservative, communist, socialist, liberal, maga, or anarchist.

But I lean left on social issues, often hard left, though I say that while also saying I’m firmly anti-authoritarian. And I don’t really put fiscal on a separate axis because there are fiscal impacts to any set of beliefs with regard to how various social issues should be considered. I’m also not at all conversant in the slightest bit of nuance regarding how the economy works.

I’m sure some folks would call me a leftist based on the above. Others would insist I’m a liberal. Am I a progressive? Not sure.

Trans rights are human rights.

So are all other LGBTQ+ rights.

You will never make me believe that Picard would have felt differently, and if you think he would have, I really don’t know how you missed so many of the fundamental messages across all Trek properties.

I didn’t see your comment before the mods removed it, but the beauty of Lemmy is it’s in the modlog.

You’re a disgrace to the fictional character you have chosen for your pfp.

A tangentially related suggestion for you, if you share my fascination with the context around the art we make (though you are probably well aware if you’re an old-head haha), there’s an EXCELLENT documentary about the LA hc punk scene that was released during its zenith (arguably) in 1981.

Absolutely was NOT aware, but I will check it out!

he most convincing argument I can make to get people to watch it is that the LAPD chief wrote an op-ed demanding theaters not screen it.

Well shiiiiit bro, that was all you had to say!

Thank you very much!

I’m really just about the ideal age to have been an OG Punk fan, but at the time my attention was elsewhere, so I’m excited to crib from this list. 🙂

Thank you!
