Never liked the term “primitive”, it’s kind of like “barbarian”, used to push the civilisational narrative to justify imperialism and colonialism by saying they are “civilising” people…

But the Aussie lad behind the channel is an absolute legend. Love him. Just great videos so relaxing to watch.

Surveillance Capitalism

Interesting, but doesn’t motivate me to want to learn further lol. It basically told me you can convey much less meaning by speaking than writing, but writing is very difficult to learn.

Near Death Wish?

Was the first paragraph written by the Meta marketing department?

Since your Australia section is lacking, here’s a couple:

transport > transit

ute > pickup truck

bogan > redneck

metro > subway

cyclone > hurricane

Not really at all. Look up anarchism on wikipedia. This is the first paragraph:

Anarchism is a political philosophy and movement that seeks to abolish all institutions that perpetuate authority, coercion, or hierarchy, primarily targeting the state and capitalism.[1] Anarchism advocates for the replacement of the state with stateless societies and voluntary free associations. A historically left-wing movement, anarchism is usually described as the libertarian wing of the socialist movement (libertarian socialism).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism

“Anarcho-Capitalism” is a rather recent name for a sort of ideology that most anarchists would instead call “stateless capitalism”

If it means anything, I started my journey on lemmy as an armchair socialist who in practice was more a welfare capitalism type person. Now I’m a full on anarchist (anti-capitalist). So a steady stream of influence, especially when people make good points and it helps make sense of my suffering, has shifted my political views strongly.

(But the basis for that shift was already kind of laid out, I’ve been fascinated by anarchist critiques for a while, and one of my favourite political authors was one. But the sort of being in a community of likeminded people [lemmy] and having significant suffering at the hands of the current system that made me more strongly shift towards those views).

On the other hand. Simply having a few conversations with my vaguely left wing partner about my views has led her to go from vaguely social democrat to anarchist.

I think the lesson is change is possible, it’s just a slow series of events that add up. Usually there isn’t one thing that straight up switches a person.

This is completely normal.

Our nose switches sides to push air in or out of every couple hours. It’s called the Nasal Cycle. Here’s the wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_cycle

I love how different people respond to these threads every time. Really helps me discover cool comms.

Banning trawling is a good start.

Maybe we can increase freshwater aquaponics and decrease net fishing.

Most fry-focused episodes are quite emotional.

Luck of the Fryish.

Yeah. China invading Taiwan would be a good time to capitalise on chaos.

And probably cause a world war in the process :(

I’ve barely ever used twitter but have like 4 accounts to my name over the past 15 years. I kept on forgetting I had already made an account.

Now imagine all the alts and bots and specific accounts people create for projects. Probably much less than 2.8 billion humans have created a twitter account. But 2.8 billion accounts have been created.

If you have the money to leave. Buy a couple people on the street loaves of bread or a sleeping bag or something.

I wonder if this is just because as the world has shifted rightward the training data has too.

Or if it is a genuine OpenAI policy, in this political climate it would not suprise me if they were shifting it rightwards on purpose.

That even includes lemmy with 50k MAU.
