For a second, I had no idea wtf this meme was on about.

Then I had memories come rushing in, and it was honestly kind of overwhelming.

10/10, would retrieve lost memories again.

Antitrust is the right approach. (As opposed to copyright.) I hope Google gets decimated.

“This book says to be nice to people who are different from you” BANNED

“This book says that everyone gets to choose for their own body” BANNED

“This book says boys don’t have to only play with boy things, and girls don’t have to only play with girl things” BANNED

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia says he was beaten and subjected to psychological torture in El Salvador jail

I believe two contradictory things here:

• It’s impossible for anyone to still be confused about who Trump is at this point
• It’s possible for Joe Rogan to be confused about anything and everything

If you’re not deliberately min-maxing the CAP Theorem or doing EDA, there’s no reason to use microservices and every reason not to.

It is not just an implementation detail or a matter of preference. There are fundamental UX implications.

That can be a net positive for users (and developers). But if you’re doing it “just cuz”, you’re gonna have a bad time.

Insert bell curve meme:

Low IQ: I treat my production instance as a place to experiment

Mid IQ: No, production must evolve slowly, with big changes only running in dev

High IQ: I treat my production instance as a place to experiment

Elinor Claire "Lin" Ostrom (née Awan; August 7, 1933 – June 12, 2012) was an American political scientist and political economist[1][2][3] whose work was associated with New Institutional Economicsand the resurgence of political economy.[4]In 2009, she was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for her "analysis of economic governance, especially the commons", which she shared with Oliver E. Williamson; she was the first woman to win the prize.[5]

While the original work on the tragedy of the commons concept suggested that all commons were doomed to failure, they remain important in the modern world. Work by later economists has found many examples of successful commons, and Elinor Ostrom won the Nobel Prize for analysing situations where they operate successfully.[17][14] For example, Ostrom found that grazing commons in the Swiss Alps have been run successfully for many hundreds of years by the farmers there.[18]

Ostrom's law

Ostrom's law is an adage that represents how Elinor Ostrom's works in economicschallenge previous theoretical frameworks and assumptions about property, especially the commons. Ostrom's detailed analyses of functional examples of the commons create an alternative view of the arrangement of resources that are both practically and theoretically possible. This eponymous law is stated succinctly by Lee Anne Fennell as:

A resource arrangement that works in practice can work in theory.[42]

Winter too cold: Oh no, I guess I’ll put on some fuzzy socks and drink some chamomile tea

Summer too hot: Guess I’ll go to the fuckin ER for heat stroke

If you were born during the first industrial revolution, then you'd think the mind was a complicated machine. People seem to always anthropomorphize inventions of the era.

Citation Needed (by Molly White) also frequently bashes AI.

I like her stuff because, no matter how you feel about crypto, AI, or other big tech, you can never fault her reporting. She steers clear of any subjective accusations or prognostication.

It’s all “ABC person claimed XYZ thing on such and such date, and then 24 hours later submitted a report to the FTC claiming the exact opposite. They later bought $5 million worth of Trumpcoin, and two weeks later the FTC announced they were dropping the lawsuit.”

I’ve been assured that AGI is right around the corner and will solve climate change (in a way that is economically palatable to the rich and powerful)

A good companion to this piece would be The Air We Breathe, by Unlearning Economics

I think one of the most toxic things on Lemmy is the prevalence of judging normies for using incredibly popular services and ascribing it to a character defect instead of life just being too complex for most people to be able to prioritize exploring more ethical technology choices.
