I think you meant this as a comment to the post, not in response to me?

I guess crime exists due to two reasons:

• poverty exists. as long as poverty exists, people seek a way out.
• organized crime exists. it draws people in.

So, pacifying the country needs a two-sided approach. On the one side, you must show people how to live a good life without being reliant on crime for basic necessities. People must be able to support themselves without falling back on criminal organizations.

On the other hand, probably the bigger issue, is that these crime organizations have a lot of money, and demand for labour-force. that means that they actively recruit new people, and draw people in. organized crime mostly exists because there’s too much money being made on the black market by selling/trafficking drugs. So I guess that it would make sense to legalize drugs (at least to a certain extent), because every $1 spent legally when buying drugs is a $1 you take away from the black market, and therefore crime organizations.

without watching the video - google search is falling apart because there’s a lot of shit content, a lot of bad articles being written.

and there’s a lot of bad articles being written because there’s a lot of authors that just want to make money from advertising, without actually caring about the content. in other words, it’s advertising’s fault that the quality of content is dropping. and ironically, it’s mostly google’s fault that advertisement on the internet got so big as it is today.

maybe i should learn polish

IMO Debian is already pretty far middle-ground. The packages are new enough for my personal usage.

I wonder whether it was the right decision to not federate with Threads.

On the one hand, yes, they would have caused a lot of problematic content, but on the other hand, it would have meant a lot of new users, and that would have livened up the place a bit. I guess.

Maybe we could do a switch in the user profile for Lemmy where it says “show Thread posts in All posts”. Or something.

uuh, new users for the fediverse. looking forward to y’all ;-)

Can anyone enlighten me: What is the advantage of IRC over say Matrix, Email, etc…

You might also be interested in the Panopticon.

In humans, there’s good things and there’s bad things. But most of it is actually in-between.

If you take out everything bad, that satisfies you for the moment. And then you go on, looking for further progress. You take out the almost-bad, the somewhat-bad. In the end, it leaves only the good. But that is not enough for a human to live on.

Constant surveillance leads to burnout and extremely high stress-levels.

I hadn’t read it before, and I thought it was interesting, and the article is still as relevant as it was back then. I thought many others missed it too. It’s also pretty well written.

People are in denial. AI is going to take programmer’s jobs away, and programmers perceive AI as a natural enemy and a threat. That is why they want to discredit it in any way possible.

Honestly, I’ve used chatGPT for a hundred tasks, and it has always resulted in acceptable, good-quality work. I’ve never (!) encountered chatGPT making a grave or major error in any of the questions that I asked it (physics and material sciences).

Nicht zu verwechseln mit einem LKW voll Erde, das wäre dann eine Verbeetung.

RT systems are all about responsibility.

When you’re driving a vehicle, the vehicle has a lot of CPUs inside that help the steering.

When these CPUs pause - for even 0.4 seconds - something bad can happen. Somebody can get seriously injured, or even killed. So it is very important that these systems never freeze or pause for any reason. That is what RT is all about.

ooh i see

Honestly astronomy from earth is notoriously difficult, for various reasons.

• there’s already a lot of light pollution, due to atmospheric light dispersion, so finding a good spot for telescopes is already difficult.
• there’s the issue that images become blurred, again because atmosphere.
• We already have telescopes in space, why no re-use them with an additional camera?

Spaceflight is unstoppable at this point. I look at the colonization of Mars like a distillation process: we remove all of the restless assholes and billionaires from Earth, and they leave us and leave us the fuck alone. That’s a good thing; We should support it.

It’s only a matter of time until Google Maps will enshittify, too.

All money is fake money, though.

If it’s one homeless guy dieing under the bridge it’s a capitalist scarecrow sothat other people work harder.

If it’s a hundred homeless guys dieing under bridges the people understand that the problem is not them, but capitalism. That’s illegal.
