People did this to themselves.

Unless we see some kind of regulation, today’s big tech is tomorrow’s big brother.

Yeah I don’t see how anyone can not see it’s Google… Who else is even close to having all our data? All the web searches, mobile android play backend, maps, Google streetcar, etc etc… They know everything.

In don’t know of there is a huge difference to looking up examples in the docs and pasting them into the code. That’s what people do otherwise, so… :)

I don’t know which people you are talking about, but if it’s adults and you are a kid, then there are some reasons behind that… :)

My kid planned a trip to Croatia with his friends and they managed to book flights that made them spend the entire night at airports, because they wanted the cheapest price.

Counting in that they had to buy airport food and hardly slept at all, and came home wrecked and had to sleep all day, meant that not only did they pay more for the trip than directs flights would have cost, they also lost a day when getting back to sleep and rest…

I mean, it’s fine, but it shows inexperience and unwillingness to listen to adults who may have good ideas… :)

What is smart… I mean, most of us Lemmy tech people are good at computers but completely useless and may even despise other activities such as dancing, singing, acting, psychology, and so on.

Never forget that the school system evaluates how good of a worker you can be, not how good of a human you can be. The entire system is just built for economic growth, not your happiness. In fact, you consume more when you are feeling like shit.

A bit of a side note, I know, but it’s all connected to a bigger picture, so…

I’m even more impressed by aircraft carriers. Just one of those things weigh as much as 250 fully loaded Boeing 747s. And it just floats. :)

Very true but trying to change this attitude…no fun being home all the time.

Around 9 years old. Could be some 11 year olds in there.

Coffee shops and pubs when they are cozy and have that atmosphere of life.

Like Freedom Fries I guess.

How is the American presidential choice of picking 80 year old sociopath Donald Trump not a thought provoking issue?

But sure. Let’s focus on why Bananas are yellow.

100% agree.

The moderation is completely out of hand. Instead of being happy we have a platform where we can discuss things outside of big tech platforms, we have people who think moderation is more important than letting people express what is on their mind, specially on this day.

Wish I could make the mods be a bit mature here, but probably not.

Whats next, banning people for discussing moderation? I would not be surprised at this point.

I’ve been here from the start so I’m just angry to see this kind of thing here. Whoever mod who did this should look in the mirror and think “is my behavior a plus or a minus for the platform”.

I’m not watching. What’s the point of being manipulated and made to feel like we care about who wins? What previous president made things better instead of worse?

It’s like peasants cheering for either a turd or an asshole, both of which have much more in common with eachother than us. Great choices.

They are professional politicians with loads of money and influence, and an entire pr staff to write stories about them and make them appear a certain way to the public.

Every time I hear about eve, I remember how much I wished it was a slightly different game. There is no way to play eve without investing many hours each time. Everything takes a very long time.

On the plus side, just the feeling that someone may come up and kill you and take your stuff makes the game feel quite scary. I was doing wormholes for a while and pretty much was constantly nervous about getting killed. Never happened though.

Almost everyone is on Lemmy.world, so… I don’t know. Don’t think they made a choice. People who are not on Lemmy.world made a choice at least.

Who are you talking about that is insisting there can be no deviation from the norm? And maybe you don’t realize how teaching works… You need someone willing to learn to be able to be able to have a teacher. Banning words and discussions is absolutely the wrong way to go. History has shown this many times.

And my point is very simple. Don’t ban words. Have open discussions. Don’t support censorship of opinions or words. Don’t be afraid of what people are actually thinking of things. Stop trying to control what people should think, and stop trying to teach them what you think is right.

People will not read something online and change their minds. Just like you are currently reading my words here, and you will not agree or change your mind. Neither will I. That’s how it works.

I can’t be your teacher unless you want to be my student.

Well, you were talking about the positive aspects of autistic people only. Maybe it’s hard to notice that, but it sounds almost like you think they are a better version of non-autistic people. From my perspective, that’s not really how it is… :) Autism or not, people can have a lot of negative personality traits that make them a pain to be around.

Those websites will simply register alternate domains… It’s really not a big deal.

Thank you, but is it really fair to say they all autistic people are like you describe? Just like non-autistic people, there should be a a variety of behaviors in autistic people as well?

I was talking about Elon Musk here, not all autistic people.

I don’t see it. Elon is a sociopath and doesn’t care about people at all. He is autistic as well. The man would easily sacrifice others in a crisis, not fight for them.
