Or the French revolution, for that matter

Until lossy compression compresses it out because it’s not visible to the human eye

It’s always endlessly frustrating when people don’t realize, or don’t want to realize, what you wrote

Lmao, people don’t need to stop being online to see and feel the problem. A lot fucking live it, feel it on their own, or a loved one’s, skin

I haven’t seen it, I’m younger than the movie and nobody really talked about it in any significant capacity

What if it’s impossible to leverage it without falling into a cyberpunk dystopia?

Not entirely true, there is the thermoelectric generator too. Though it’s not very practical

Genuine question, what’s wrong with stock footage? What else should they use?

Reminds me a little of this short text adventure https://direkris.itch.io/you-are-jeff-bezos

I’m just really tired of telling people about the obvious, and every time history keeps repeating

I don’t believe it’s just convenience, it’s as you said, people don’t care about the long term. In anything.

A big corporate platform (or whatever else, like, say, oil companies vs climate protesters) will always have more resources, whether it’s for development or marketing, so people will always have to be a bit willing to not have full convenience for a better world

If we don’t think about the long term, what are we even thinking of instead?

Okay then, hope people won’t complain when things go to shit again

Just forever on march towards the inevitable due to convenience

Until you need to verify if the computer understood and solved the problem properly

It’s like, sure, a calculator can help you solve equations… but what is the proper equation for the situation?

You’re misunderstanding the statement. It’s not a statement about language exactly, it’s a statement about what medicine is

Medicine is, among other things, traditional medicine that has been studied and proven to work

A place where you won’t get sick, at a minimum

I assume a cat will leave if it’s starting to burn

…but maybe I put too much faith in those goofballs

This is strikingly similar to how Jews were treated in pre-war germany

Time to learn from history and not give in easily

Well, sure, you could, but would you rather write that a substance has a pH value of 11, or the absolute value, which is the hydrogen ion molar concentration, which would be 0.00000000001?

Especially since what we consider the neutral point, is a pH value of 7 (pure water). So then, for an example, if you have 3 substances, they have the values of 0.0000043, 0.00000003, and 0.0000005. are they acidic? Or basic? It’s really difficult to tell at a glance.

And sure, you could have a different measurement like set water as 0 and positive are acids and negative are bases or something, but then you just move further away from the actual definition of acidity.

In addition, pH is a logarithmic scale, a pH of 3 is 10x more acidic than pH 4

People with mental disorders and/or disabilities don’t get believed, more at 11.

I have adhd and friends with mental and/or physical disabilities. Everyone is frustrated at how often they face roadblocks or issues because people and systems struggle to believe them, and a lot of shit is just about “proving” you are really “disabled enough”. Invisible disabilities are especially vulnerable, take people on the internet for some reason making fun of wheelchair users who can still walk a bit for example (as not all wheelchair users are incapable of walking). And this is a pretty global phenomenon, as I live in Europe, where I see and experience plenty of this stuff.

It’s incredibly frustrating, and it causes endless issues for people with disabilities, making life much harder than it already is. I wish people were just more willing to believe us when we say something. And not constantly belittle our issues.
