Yes, finally someone else who appretiates compose key!
I use Linux, so I remap it on every PC I use, when I have right context key, I remap that, otherwise I remap right Ctrl to compose.
It’s so good, specially for using US keymap to write in other european languages. At first it takes a bit, then it’s second nature.
How is that NSFW?
Not every comic Oglaf is porn
Yes, you also fuck
I’m so smart and fancy but I just need one more incantation to finally be free of all the bad government stuff.
Brb, my phone is dying
I never understood why people called enemy bots ‘AI’ in games.
Yes, there is/was a setting for that, should be on by default.
Hey, I’ve seen this stuff before!
It was in the book Foundation by Asimov!
What did it say this means?
“I was really struggling with the technical aspects of how to define what a deepfake was,” he said.
yeah, just a quick grammar check, nothing else
I can’t believe it’s not posted here yet, so here we go.
Ehm.
NO, NO, NOT THE BEES! ALL OVER MY EYES! AARGHHH
Complete wipe? Certainly not. Reverting our society in standards of living and numbers? Heavily and quickly. People as a species may survive, but will pale in comparison to what we as a society are and can do now. Unless we get cheap fusion power distributed all over the world in the next 20 years, we are gone.
Communism isn’t cringe, wtf are you talking about. And yes, if we want to discuss communism, we need to take into account that it was suggested to start with socialism beforehand.
Social democracy has jack all to do with socialism, if we want to keep being pedantic. And social democracy does not fare all that well in poorer countries, even after massive EU funds. Which is the real cringe.
Maybe I understood the situation too bleakly, but my impression was, that we are losing topsoil (used to grow almost all our food), biodiversity is plummeting (which can trigger chain reaction of massive die-offs), the ice is melting (blue ocean event, likely irreversible) causing billions of people to lose their homes, and depleting aquifies (drinking water). Hotter climate will cause runaway effects, that will multiply all of this, which could lead to decimating most of life in the oceans (food for majority of people), meaning more hungry people inland, politically already unstable, now without soil, water, and getting severe droughts and much more acidic rain. There are possibilities of new diseases appearing from the thawing permafrost, as well as newly mutated ones.
Everything will be made worse by the current trends in politics, but I suspect those politics are trending because some people are aware where are we heading.
Right now I don’t see how our current society can survive. We are doing nothing at all to stop burning fossil fuels (renewables go up, but so does fossil burning), the richest find more and more absurd ways to waste energy (bitcoin, LLMs), everywhere more and more people go poor even in developed nations (prices skyrocketing, mainly food and rent), and we are just starting to see that climate is starting to change, and not to our optimistic scenarios.
I don’t think we are going to make it.
But everyone knows that. Nobody even remotely suggested anything close to it.
Given the state of our climate, I would say it’s very closely ahead of us, and we are not going to make it. Which is a shame, we are so close.
It’s definitely not happening now under any social democracy.
Socialism is supposed to be a transformative period, leading to communism. I have no idea why people write the !=.
It’s like saying we are too stupid to survive.
So stuff works out pretty well in my European country. Personally I never got anything broken, my friend had their hand re-broken because they never realized it was broken in the first place, only noticed that the pain lasted many months. They did not pay a single thing, but had to move to go through all the surgeries (to their parents). That kinda broke them.
Personally, I had a minor health surgery, that kinda left an ugly scar, which I feel like could have been avoided with better surgeon.
Also we have health insurance, and there it gets tricky. Like state owns one, there are more private ones, as some groups try to privatize the healthcare, and then you have to pay the insurance, you can choose which insurance it is, and in some specific cases, some insurers can order different regimes of treatment. Which may not be ideal in every case.
