Technological advancements have the unfortunately intended side effect of corporations having less people they gotta pay to, because machines are quite the competitor sometimes. While I think OP is being a bit pedantic here, efficiency in and of itself is not inherently good – the question should be who’s extracting the profit. If the increased efficiency translates into less working hours… hell yeah. If it translates into record megacorp profits, then… I see no need in eliminating these unnecessary jobs for now – the worker gets their bread and that’s what I care about

Hey:) So regarding the “unnatural humanity”, that’s mistranslated. Freely translating what she wrote would be “irregular humanity”, but idiomatically it would be translated to “extraordinary humanity” or something.

Other than that, the translation is accurate enough. The translator took the liberty to make it way more poetic, but the overall tone is the same.

The only suspicious thing I encountered is the use of the word “generals”:

1. She wrote ג׳נרל (Jeneral, like how you pronounce it in English) while in Hebrew you’d say it with a hard G. That’s close enough to how you say it in Arabic (Jiniral)
2. Nobody uses that word in a non-derogatory way. They’d usually say קצין (officer)

I wouldn’t get too hung up on this letter though. It was a weird and uncanny read. I think there is other, more solid evidence that can enjoy that focus instead

How did you manage to convince friends and (especially) family to actually use Matrix? Quite impressive!

Lessgooooo these are great news! Thanks for all you’ve done. Also am I tripping or the person reading this comment haven’t donated yet?

Let’s go Ubuntu 00.00

Yeah actually writing Wordpress themes was easier than I thought. But I wrote them for the old editor, not Gutenberg – I opted for ClassicPress instead which was quite a banger in the effort-to-outcome equation

I was referring to other commenters, mb should’ve been clearer about it

Your stance is great. I’m very glad you’re taking the liberty to remove posts, moderated spaces who are strict about what kinda content is allowed are just more pleasant. Hackernews, lobste.rs and me_irl come to mind. Unsure why the poster in the picture reacted so dramatically lol

Love it! I did feel uncomfortable with 2010s-Facebook-style excessive public sharing. Most of my friends, with me included, abuse the close friends Instagram feature and I’m all for it. I know a couple of people who deleted their old Facebook accounts because digital footprint was too frightening – particularly, the shit they posted during their teens in private Facebook groups that they have long left.

All of this is obviously not related whatsoever to data harvesting; this fight is against individual stalkers rather than corporate ones. But it’s a blessed one non the less; stalking shouldn’t really be a thing.

Idk I think y’all are a bit too dramatic lol. Imho you’re reading too much into a small aggression. This has nothing to do with the future of Lemmy or anything as grandiose as that
