I had a 2 year old account, then lemm.ee shut down and I’m a baby again :(

The point of the paperclip maximiser is that it doesn’t care about you at all, ‘being nice’ to it makes no difference. It just wants to make paperclips, and will destroy you to do so.

Way to say you had a good school experience - and everyone should. But not everyone does, unfortunately.

As if some private guns would be any sort of fair fight against the full force of the US military anyway

Lol

It’s so interesting to see how people react to something that is so normal to me 🤣

We also sometimes call it The Pound Shop.

Thanks!

So, there are Lemmy apps for Linux? Please share, people, I couldn’t find any when searching flathub (via GNOME Software) for Lemmy!

I don’t know who is in the right. I would say that the important thing is that, since both of them condemn Israel’s actions, and the argument about whether it’s a ‘genocide’ is purely semantic, it isn’t a useful or productive argument - serving only to divide people and distract from the real issue.

I also don’t steal. I download my books from online copies, which is copying, not stealing.

I would have silently gone in my head ABCDEFGHIJKL and then said “MNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”, but I suppose I could have said “MABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”, or should I say “MABCDEFGHIJKLOPQRSTUVWXYZ”?

Come to think of it, why do our letters have a standard order, and if they have to, why that one? A better order, off the top of my head, is OUEIAPKGHXBDPTMNLWYVZSFRCQJ

I think it’s a great idea to show how the Dark Lord isn’t prejudiced in the muggle way, judging people for their gender, sexual orientation, or the colour of their skin, but rather their blood purity only. A black pure blood is obviously superior to a white mudblood.

What do you mean, they give open weights models back that anyone can use. Only the proprietary corporate AI is exploitative.

Every single act you do you do because you think it will benefit you in some way. Either that it will directly benefit you, or it will avert suffering, or it will make you feel virtuous, or prevent a sense of guilt.

If that’s so, the angles are probably not right angles.

Straight lines. Also two sets of parallel lines. This is one definition of a square, but not the common one.
