IMO, there’s nothing wrong with that. We ARE brains in a meat suit, with bits and pieces to support ourselves and increase chances of making new brains in meat suits.
I do think that the inability to interact with anything tangible could get problematic, if unable to achieve similar simulation.
First, please clarify what sort of non-ad monetization you are talking about.
Second, we don’t need monetization. The commercialization of the Web, while handy for a while, is exactly why it’s decayed so much. We don’t need to import the cause of web rot here.
Unfortunately, Content Creator is not likely a solid long-term career. Don’t take this as dismissive of the effort that goes into quality videos. Some people really do treat it legitimately as a craft. However, the vocation was basically created through heavy subsidies from tech/ad companies, trying to get eyes on the ad space that they want to sell. Due to Chicago School economics (line must go up), and the fact that there is only so much ad space, tech companies are going to look to remove the cost of these subsidies, likely through a combination of generated content and removal of payouts, so that myopic investors can be happy.
So, how can you support yourself while still creating videos, etc? Well, if you don’t have a production company supporting you, you’ll need to learn business yourself or sell your talent to someone who is running a production company. As much as I would like for people to be able to do whatever they want with their lives, we’re currently stuck in a neoliberal hellscape where a working artist has to work and also be a business person.
It’s a tag from a Beanie Baby.
Far Right is now the first party in France and nobody has a clue on how to get them down bar them completely failing at ruling.
Is this another case of doing like the neoliberals do over in the States, trying everything but measures that would actually help the populace instead of funneling their money into wealthy people’s pockets?
I’d certainly say so. I’ve yet to see him even coming off as dismissive without trying to clarify why in a polite manner.
No. The shit that you took is more meaningful than fake Internet points.
Not defending his behavior but I would note that he has been actively seeking to remedy his cunty-ness after becoming aware of how problematic it was and the problematic people that it attracted.
(you can prob keep the same username if you want too).
Unless it is already taken on the new instance, you absolutely can. Usernames are namespaced similar to email addresses. So, example@lemmy.world and example@lemmy.ml are considered two different users. This means that there is no technical reason preventing it.
Dessalines & Nutomic put a lot of effort into building and maintaining the lemmy codebase. I respect that.
I’ll add that they’re also generally quite pleasant when I see them on Lemmy. And I haven’t seen either of them involved in being ban-happy. Some will argue otherwise based upon misconstruing the relationship between FLOSS devs and FLOSS consumers as a business/customer relationship (expecting customer service and product manager input on software that’s donated free of charge). But, I think that those folks are just not yet familiar with how FLOSS development works.
“Uplifting” intelligent species through selective breeding and/or other techniques. Impractical? Yes. Probably not a good idea? You bet. However, I would really like for humanity to have sentient company.
If genuinely disturbing, therapy can help.
You get it. That’s exactly what I advise to anyone wanting this feature. I’m not familiar enough to know if it’s something that I care about.
But I also don’t see a way forward for the state of Israel without the destruction of Hamas, because otherwise we will just repeat this in a few years, and I don’t think Hamas will stop attacking us even if we are sanctioned by most of the world (I also fear that in such a scenario, a government might rise to power in Israel which is much more extreme than even now).
The only real solution that doesn’t involve genocide is ensuring that Palestinians are happy, healthy, and have the opportunity to thrive. Terrorist groups like Hamas don’t just poof into existence. It takes a mix of desperation, grief, and hopelessness (and sometimes megalomania) to reach that point. Groups like that can’t be defeated or destroyed with bombs and missiles. Inflicting more pain and suffering creates more desperate, hopeless people who don’t feel like they have anything to live for or chance at living a good life. If the IDF kills every member of Hamas in this war, another group will rise because of all of the mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends, and family that have lost their lives as “collateral damage”.
If you want to halt Hamas and similar groups, your government needs to stop doing the recruiting efforts for them. Hell, with time, effort, and prosecuting those who perpetuate the violence, the Palestinian people could be allies.
The biggest thing that you want to be sure if, in my experience, is ensuring that the dosage results in steady levels throughout the month. I had an awful time with the dose being every other week. And when I say awful, I mean “having a full fledged anxiety attack causing me to be pretty much locked inside my head every fortnight, resulting in needing to seek professional help”. Hormonal imbalances can really fuck you up.
I’d guess the latter, unless the licensing is in conflict with their values.
… Making it non-binary.
The USS Liberty: “Am I a joke to you?!”
I’m sure she does fancy herself.
He marched to encourage people to do said assassination. So, knows first hand.
Nooope. Hard pass on that.
Really, only fix some funky hormonal stuff, I’d not even heal my bad ankle, even though it sometimes causes discomfort - it provides me with an extra sense that I didn’t have before; barometric pressure.
It would be cool to have a “built-in” HUD with metrics about my body, sensory input, and a few other things that could be switched on or off at will.
The “gear” that I was born with has shaped my experiences in life so far. Any major change and I’d probably be someone different.
