Astraco··on A ‘plague’ comes before the fall: lessons from Roman history
I'm talking about the political, economical and social structures, not the Republic.
Astraco··on A ‘plague’ comes before the fall: lessons from Roman history
Then the end of slavery in the Empire and and the start of serfdom, more efficient than slavery, after de Diocletian reforms killed the Empire. That's contradictory. And slavery was still a thing after those reforms, as other comments say.

Diocletian reforms, the corruption, civil wars and the inability of defend itself eroded and destroyed all the structures that made the Republic great all those are the reasons that made the Empire fall.

Everybody knows slavery ended with the Roman Empire.
Astraco··on MacRelix – Unix-like features for classic Mac OS
Thank you. I was finally able to install it, I think my setup is to blame for all the issues. I think I wasn't able to open the .mbin because I downloaded it on Linux before moving it to the emulator, and it missed some information in the process. Downloaded it inside the emulator using iCab, and after several tries (probably because networking on my emulator doesn't work properly) was able to open it on StuffIt 5 and decompress the .gz during the installation.

Stuffit extract the installer but it doesn't do anything, I don't know what I'm missing.

I've tried different versions of Macbinary without luck, maybe I'm missing something.

A installation guide would be great. I'm trying to install it and I don't know what to do with the mbin file. When click on it says something about connectfour application missing.

I don't know what they expect with this, but it will end with the EU's shoe up their asses.

Astraco··on Google to pause Gemini image generation of people after issues
Is not just that. All of those could be white or not, but AI can't refuse to respond to a prompt based on prejudice or give wrong answers.

In this case is asked to create a image of a "happy man" and returns a women, and there is no reason to do that.

People are focusing to much on the "white people" thing but the problem is that Gemini is refusing to answer to prompts or giving wrong answers.

It's not the accuracy, the problem is that it refuses to create images of white people
Astraco··on Google to pause Gemini image generation of people after issues
The problem is more that it refuses to make images of white people than the accuracy of the historical ones.

Dude, you're a spreadsheet. What are you talking about?
Astraco··on Enforced Amnesia as Way to Mitigate Risk of Silent Suffering in the Conscious AI
You're funny.
Astraco··on Enforced Amnesia as Way to Mitigate Risk of Silent Suffering in the Conscious AI
No, we are attributing feelings to an overglorified spreadsheet. I understand it, we have empathy, but AI is just responding to an input the way it have been trained, like other piece of software.

Astraco··on How to make a better default Firefox UI
The same happens with Thunderbird. The new UI is a mess I can't find anything now. I fear when the rename K9 mail for Android to Thunderbird they break the UI too.

On anonymous comments on the internet and in movies.
Astraco··on Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hacked
If you have access to control the touch interface or to type a message on the screen you already have full control to the device. Look at the video, the input is so random, it's a software bug.
Astraco··on Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hacked
I thought the same when I saw the video. I had the same problem with an Android phone, but the ghost touch was located in one zone of the screen because it was damaged. This looks like more like a software bug.

> You flip to another channel and it's a pornographic movie where you sleep with all the world's most famous movie stars.

This is not only dystopian, it's just sad. All these look taken from the first seasons of Black Mirror. I don't know what you think progress is but AI porno and ads are not.
