If it’s your primary meal, why the lack of variety?

8 eggs for breakfast alone? Daily?

There is a buy it for life community. I’d try there.

So, given other comments, rather than BIFL, are you looking for good quality, long lasting undergarments? Based on the bras part, mainly women’s undergarments?

Ok, we’ll let’s keep the plane analogy. If they could run on 50% less fuel, would you invest in airline fuel companies, thinking they will be having bumper sales figures?

Yes, but if they already have lots of planes, they don’t need to keep buying more planes. Especially if their current planes can now run for longer.

AI is not going away but it will require less computing power and less capital investment. Not entirely unexpected as a trend, but this was a rapid jump that will catch some off guard. So capital will be reallocated.

Yes, there are, but minimal physical assets. That’s the point. They likely aren’t even enough to pay employees.

I think you’re missing the point. There are no physical assets. There is users and engagement. That can be used to push a narrative or to sell advertising. As users leave, neither works and there is nothing to sell.

Nah. Blahaj is also a safe space and well moderated without impinging on others enjoyment. Hexbear actively discourages other communities from participation, not with prejudice but with memes and childishness.

There are probably lots of great communities on hexbear but their bigger ones give a bad reputation to the instance in general. I’ve interacted with some great members in communities on non hexbear instances but for my instance at least, defederation was a net benefit.

If federation allows blocking communities, rather than instances in the future, that could change. However, currently it’s only on a per user basis, so it becomes tiresome.

I think it’s a valid point that the concern being raised about tik tok is just as valid with other apps, both from Facebook or Twitter etc and from overseas apps. People are happily giving up their data and don’t see a distinction in how it is being used for disinformation by different state actors. It’s all misinformation.

People are apathetic to the risk, but also don’t see the risk for foreign government snooping as significantly higher than internal snooping.

I’m loving the psychology and group thinking that goes with this.

No, I didn’t as it’s not really a post about that, but I think ubinis the way forward.

No, I’m not saying artist money is any more immoral than any other purchase. I’m also saying artists should not depend on donations only. I also did not say I exclusively pirate. Don’t put words in my mouth.

I’m saying the current system is broken. Replacing it with tips is not the solution. Transport and creative industries will see huge lay offs in the coming years. We need to decide as a society what we value. Is it creating art and pleasure or lines going up on company spreadsheets. Free spread of ideas and art is an ideology. The only reason not to allow it is to profit. Those profits don’t go to most artists.

No, but that’s the case with or without piracy. Artists and devs shouldn’t rely on goodwill. That’s just expanding the tips system which is already awful.

No, but saying to participate and that purchasing software is inherently moral is also fallacious.

Developers, musicians, creatives, actors etc all need to be paid to live in society. However, the current system rewards the lucky few and large corporations as well as the non creative side of media and software creation.

I think employment is based on those seeking work. So if you take time off, you wouldn’t be counted. It’s a balance in the market that stops wage rises and inflation when there is unemployment. It’s obviously not desirable for the individual.

Scientific papers

AI processing is a moneymaker for them. It runs on Linux, usually, so they want to ensure they are not leapfrogged. They are not supporting Linux, they are trying to make more money. However, it happens to benefits Linux.

Parasitic more like.

It also benefits trolls and disingenuous conversation.
