I don't agree with a lot of the things the founding fathers did or said but the quote "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" rings true even at this stage.

Because lets be honest here everyone knows that they will be sentencing innocent people with this.

I will never understand not reading. I genuinely notice that my vocabulary is significantly more verbose when I have been actively reading and I feel sharper.

Someone's gunning to be the first trillionare by selling sex bots.

I just realized I don't think I've heard anyone talk about ghossty since it's public launch.

You're not accounting for lurkers which make up ≈80% of any social media site from what I remember. So you end up with what 50 million people actually posting as humans. That is easily outweighed by a significantly smaller portion of bots because they can post continuously.

I wonder how many people understand how big of a deal that is. Like I imagine a lot of people on Lemmy do but in the general public I have to imagine most people have no idea how deep the hate runs between them.

Fucking source‽ Yes companies do scummy shit with IP all the time but no companies are not reprinting books without paying authors unless there is some crazy contract bullshit.

So what should be done so that authors and inventors are fairly compensated under our current economic system? I am not in support of capitalism to be clear but we are stuck with it for the foreseeable future and I don't want small authors to have large companies just steal their books and reprint them.

IP is important in the current capitalist world. In an ideal world I absolutely think IP would be abolished but without it there would be no way for a small company to make something and not have it stolen out from under them by a mega corp.

I do not think current IP law is perfect or even very good now but under capitalism it is something that is necessary. Even in open source it matters because without it all the licenses in the world would not matter.

Hey this isn't a cheat thing...

Are you ok?

That would be admitting fault though. I've been watching a bunch of police abuse videos and they do the same thing, as soon as a decision is made you have to act like it was the correct one otherwise it becomes your fault.

People have been saying this on reddit since before I left reddit.

I used to be a huge user of all the drama subs but they started getting formulaic and obviously bullshit before I even considered leaving.

So more energy use for what the people that are into AI are calling a worse model. Is someone going to get fired for this?

I would think/hope that you guys could at least maintain the submarine independently. Your sailors went through the same training as the US ones do for operating. and as far as I understand it (which is better than most people) subs don't really get refueled. Carriers do but by the time a sub needed to refuel it wouldn't be worth while simply because the technology has advanced so far.

Hopefully more of the western world invests into its own navy because as it stands the US is such an overwhelming force that I understand why everyone is so hesitant to stand up against us.

I would say the are farther ahead in the state controll aspect at the very least.

Its titles like this that kinda make me understand why some republicans think climate change is all about controlling people. Like obviously there is more nuance to it than that but who writes that and thinks it's a good headline.

Can we all agree that the UK is a literal police state now? It can't get more on the nose than this.

Part of it has to be that it's fucking expensive. I know it's not exactly a one to one comparison but I live in a legal recreational state. It's 25$ (including tax) for a 1G vape. that's a lot less than that amount to get equivalently intoxicated with alcohol.

You know just because a fascist says something doesn't make it untrue right? Like always double check what they say but them saying it doesn't make it untrue. The UK is following so much closer behind the US than some people want to admit. Hell half of Europe is still an elections away from ending up with a far right candidate. Now that Trump has been president for a bit I wonder how much of that immediate reaction you saw with Germany will continue.
