I disagree.

Socialism can be good if the government doesn’t have to resort to totalitarianism to enforce it - and when has that ever happened? Rarely. Rarely.

Cuba did some good things - in education, in medicine - but if it’s such a wonderful country, why is everything there a decaying flashback to the 1950s where everything is falling apart?

Not practically possible for most people. Forcing users to jump through a bunch of hoops to have basic control over what content they have access to is not a winning formula for Lemmy.

I would vastly prefer this over the sh.itjust.works admins defederating from them. I don’t like the people on Hexbear, but I also don’t like admins getting to control what their users do and don’t have access to.

It was a stupid failure of engineering, but focusing on the enviromnetalism aspect of the explosion is not particularly rational.

One small area of Texas coast getting a little bit of damage from some flying concrete and a big explosion is absolutely nothing compared to what oil companies, cars and trucks, and a million other polluters do every single day all over the world.

I don’t get it. Why is this a risk to you? The material isn’t being hosted on your server; your users are just accessing it via your server. If someone accesses illegal content, is their ISP going to be shut down because they provided that user access? No.

Damn conservatives denied us something wonderful.

See: Memory Alpha (shows, movies), vs. Memory Beta (that, plus everything else)

What he did wasn’t noble, but it was for the good of the entire Alpha Quadrant. I don’t think it’s unfair to say that he was almost always on the “right” side of things throughout DS9.

I mean, they fucked themselves by being bad journalists and having a shitty, workaholic, misogynistic culture. Those things weren’t fated to happen.

That is hilariously untrue. The USSR and PRC are the biggest and worst examples. Every other historically socialist country was generally more bad than good. Yes, there have been some tendencies in socialist countries to e.g. dramatically improve education and literacy, but generally at the cost of the people’s political liberties, the government taking political prisoners, mass killings, speech being censored, etc.

I can tell you more about them, but obviously you’re correct that they’re nowhere near as developed as the other 90s Trek shows.

-T’Pol might be the best Vulcan character in the franchise next to SNW Spock. She has a tinge of that Enterprise Vulcan arrogance, becomes less emotionally-guarded as she spends more time among humans, has an interesting moderate attitude toward humans, and probably has the best acting on the show.

-Phlox is the best doctor in the franchise, fight me.

-Reed is a British weirdo

-Mayweather is an overly peppy cornily-acted son of a freighter captain raised in space

To show the audience Jolene Blalock’s oiled up tummy and thighs, it’s that simple

If I read Harry Potter and wrote a novel of my own, no doubt ideas from it could consciously or subconsciously influence it and be incorporated into it. Hey is that any different from what an LLM does?

So every company remodeled after REI, got it.

As part of the copy chain, you need to feed the ChatGPT output into a handwriting neural network you trained in your own handwriting, then have the 3D printer draw it.

Are you sure that’s true? All content from all other federated servers are hosted on all other servers? That certainly doesn’t sound right; I thought that the fediverse protocol just allowed us access to other servers running the protocol, not that our instance actually runs content from their instance.

Federation does not by definition require giving admins the ability to censor content. The Fediverse implementation unfortunately does, but it sure didn’t need to.
