The critique of the trolly problem isn’t that you don’t still make the choice, it’s that the outcome was predetermined before you even got there.

Leftists who are making a point of abstaining are doing so to point out that voters have no control over the trolly to begin with - that the choice is artificial because the outcomes were pre-selected by someone/something else to ensure a particular outcome, and that participating in that choice only ends up legitimizing that process.

You misunderstand, I only mean that it’s disconcerting that there may be some reason that cis-women do not find the hobby/group appealing

I was just asleep for three and I do not feel well rested.

I know ghost has a container deployment and uses activity pub

I do wonder how many within the man/woman responses are trans, too.

Idk if that survey was mainly advertised on lemmy, but i know that at least one instance that did a survey had maybe 2% woman respondents, but more than two thirds of those were transfem.

Either way, a little disconcerting. I’m not sure what to make of that or what (if anything) to do about it

But only the data that is explicitly intended to be public. There’s no single entity installing invasive apps or logging your traffic through partner network sites.

Facebook had half the internet using your Facebook login as authentication at one point

Mother nature will be like ‘sloooooowwwwww dowwwwwwwn’, and you’ll say “FUCK YOU” and kick her in the face with your

ENERGY LEGS

I was just making that joke

Prime’s got what plants crave - it’s got electrolytes

There’s a caffeinated version of it and a ‘electrolyte’ version, afaik

Lmao Iowa City might be the funniest place for someone to own a cybertruck

It’s less a problem with racial profiling and more a problem with it being a poverty-tax.

Enforcing a flat-rate fee structure with speed cameras disproportionately hurts low-income drivers (who are already economically unstable), and allocating state/city funding toward road maintenance instead of public transit infrastructure pushes people into a loop of auto costs-> traffic fines -> loss of work -> more financial insecurity, ect.

True enough: reducing officer interactions is a good thing, but those cops end up spending that saved time escalating other non-violent interactions instead. If that’s your goal, you should be de-funding and reforming law enforcement, not automating fine collection.

Lemmy try not to post crimes challenge - impossible. Granted, as far as crimes go, this one seems innocuous enough, but still.

I’ve been told repeatedly on c/piracy that lemmy is just too small to attract the attention of law enforcement and three-letter agencies

Paradoxically, I’ve also been told that lemmy is rife with state-sponsored troll farms, so…?

You know what else would reduce police forces? Eliminating car traffic entirely.

Cops spend the most time on ordinary traffic stops.

Because apparently some of us only eat peanut butter and never chew anything solid

This is what I thought of lmao

Both his SA bot and the main one being Turing-tested killed him in the end.

If there was ever a real-world tech billionare who was conceited/naively overconfident enough to make a murderous AI robot (designed to look like an amalgam of people’s porn preferences lol) that ended up killing him, it’s Elmo.

I use this for architecture and it’s saved me so much time

Who are you responding to, bud?

Meanwhile billionaires are still laughing at the poors fighting each other thinking one job is better than other or villifying entire professions still.

Landlording isn’t a job.

I wish people would stop comparing those uses of copyright to nonprofits like Internet Archive

While I understand AI training exemptions to copyright are controversial, and think most people here would side with IA on ebook lending.
