too based for earth, too cringe for heaven, misfit in hell i mean, huh?
The age old question of do the traps be, in fact, gay
To which the answer is that there is no gay, no straight, nothing makes any fucking sense, everyone is bisexual (or asexual) but also there is no bisexuality (or asexuality)
random code monkeys aren’t evil or too stupid to figure out opt-in is more ethical
Coming in with a hot fucking take, they very much are that evil and/or stupid. They’re not at fault for how the software is structured, but judging by the crazes around tech hype (crypto, AI, NFTs) and my personal experience with average code monkeys, they would happily support “unethical” solutions (like opt-out tracking) if asked
I’ll bite back >:3
I don’t think I know enough about anarchism to really dispute that. Though how much can the proletariat gain compared to the capitalists from AI? FOSS models are limited - I don’t think most people have supercomputers required for the training in their basements.
I will however question your denial of community. What definition of that word do you use? We’re not in a worker - capitalist relationship all the time. See: us right now, right here. See: me with other students at my university. Class distinctions are irrelevant to that.
Hell, Lemmy as a whole is a tech enthusiast community to an extent, though it being a lesser known specific form of social media introduces forces that make this community different in meaningful ways (e.g. it’s not corporate - there are fewer corpowhores here, it requires more effort to get in - people here will be on average more interested in actually contributing something meaningful).
On top of that, you mentioned FOSS models. Who were they built by? Corporations? Or a bunch of loosely associated volunteers who came together to work towards a shared goal? Is this not a community? (Those are actual questions btw, I couldn’t be bothered to check)
And with some form of a community comes some form of culture and morality.
As for additional forces even in workplaces, did you know most tech workers are men?
And as an aside, where have I said that it’s the tech workers who are responsible for bad, unethical solutions? I’m pretty I explicitly claimed the opposite
I didn’t notice that it was the patient’s friend’s cocktail and got a solid dose of “what the fuck maple leaf country” before I noticed
Even earlier, the original r/195 was left leaning.
Examples from top of all time:
Pro-socialist mockery of liberals
Cop hatred
Queerposting
Transposting before it was cool
Anti-capitalism
There was a lot more of this. Though nowadays, especially after the disaster, r/196 has lost its leftist edge. There aren’t as many posts about world events as there used to be. Or about the people.
I can’t speak to Sabine’s physics content but her social science oriented content is awful:
The capitalism video: short response, long react
At first I wanted to dismiss your worry and just call her dumb, but you may be right. I’m still not entirely sold on that, I think she can just be out of her depth, but what you’re saying would make for a very nice pivot to political grifting. What makes me skeptical of that is her old trans video, about sport. Though, now that I think about it, it used the exact same “both sides” and “insufficient data” arguments the new video abused.
I actually also wanted to link a video about free will and a livestream react but I couldn’t find a good one. Was that the one that made you quit?
