“I wish I wish upon a star for a multi billion dollar monopoly to self-regulate”

Yes, and they were all as smart at humans. ;)

So mostly average but some absolute thickos too.

Can you imagine if he sent even one Cardinal to the front.

He’s just have a zone of peace around him wherever he went.

Though yeah it would then be very important to discredit the Vatican in the USA.

They already kind of started with this during the Biden Presidency honestly.

In that case all we have to hope for is a fair trial.

And that the judge isn’t compromised at some point, either by ideology, financial obligation or fear.

In all fairness, he’s made heaps of cash this time around, and written his name in history.

Which is the most important thing for a narcissist.

Yeah they really slipped up by saying “and” using it, as opposed to “or”.

I’m going to gnaw into it like a little rat.

Most people aren’t mature enough their entire lives, but we don’t filter them out.

No. Things will just get worse.

Your statement has probably been true since 2008. Maybe longer.

Even on the middle east eye YouTube I’m seeing so many appeals to authority and “it’s illegal, simple as. Full stop. Not for debate”.

Not sure if brigading or what but it really worries me how people think.

It’s not like they’re stupid, it’s like it’s uncomfortable for them to think.

Every time I make a tool like this, I try to wind up any Americans in the company by putting the US flag as English (simplified) and the Union Jack as English

It’s a fun back and forth we have switching it between the two (inevitably someone makes a PR to put it back, and we go on)

I think we’ve got to get in at least 10,000

“force” in this case means “extort information” or just straight up applied violence, I assume.

Would you accept lies and obfuscation instead?

Well, these days who the hell isn’t?

For short-term wins I’d go with Neal Asher’s “Polity” civilization as at some point in the 20th Century, the AI just decides to take over and become benevolent rulers.

No societal collapse required.

But also a higher risk of enslavement by giant sentient crabs. Your call.

Agreed, but honestly either is ok. I’d prefer the Minds ruling me to humans too.

The main thing that would scare me is the Megadeath scenarios from the Idiran war.

But that seems like a pretty rare thing. Also, they seem to be a lot better at the sex and drugs thing than ST, as well as how they handle crime.

Coming after these guys is Neal Asher’s Polity. It’s like Culture “lite”, And the robots are a bit less “extra”.

I’m hoping they make a desktop version but I’ve been testing Linux mint on all the games I can download and I’m pretty sure it’s running better than my win10 boot.

So the fact that the other distros are an option that’s relatively accessible makes me think there’s less value to valve releasing the desktop version any time soon.

Came to Lemmy while my disk manager is processing my new partition.

If it goes well, I’m switching today.

So, probably some time early tomorrow morning. Because I’m not great with reading instructions.

Edit: it’s still processing. It feels like it shouldn’t take this long to partition…

They’re not going away, they’re just going to be more persistent with their cold calling, and more infuriating with their call answering.

When the voice assistant came out I remember one of my coworkers showing it off to another.

To which the other coworker just said “hey Google, text Mom saying ‘you’re fat’”.

Because of that I’ve never had any voice tools connected to anything I own.
