iN7h33nD··on The AI Race Just Got Awkward
which one?
iN7h33nD··on The End of an Era
I also strongly recommend his novellas and short stories. "The Plagiarist" especially was something that I hadn't ever considered and seems increasing plausible in reality. Also loved Beacon 23 and Sand.
iN7h33nD··on Are we offloading too much of our thinking to AI?
Reminds me of Daemon by Daniel Suarez. I could plausibly see us heading there for sure https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/6665847-daemon
iN7h33nD··on 1000 Blank White Cards
Love this game. It was especially popular during boy scout camping trips for me. I don't know if anyone would have the patience for it anymore, unless the internet went down for a week or something.
iN7h33nD··on Twelve Days of Shell
iirc Elves is a directory with them inside.
iN7h33nD··on Show HN: Forty.News – Daily news, but on a 40-year delay
Exceptionally well put. I had to comment that this is exactly my take on this and I couldn’t have put it better in such a palatable few sentences.
iN7h33nD··on Steam Machine
https://www.gog.com/ Is the largest one
iN7h33nD··on Why Nextcloud feels slow to use
Same. Just recently switch over to filebrowser-quantum. Can’t quite endorse it yet, but it’s promising so far (setup in a docker compose was a bit like wack-a-mole, but so was the original) https://github.com/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser
iN7h33nD··on GitHub was having issues
Have you seen: https://forgejo.org/
iN7h33nD··on Fish 4
Biggest drawback is unfamiliarity with the syntax, but that comes with time in my experience. I think the syntax is overall better and much better documented.

I switched to fish because for most interactive use case it’s so much better, without requiring any new muscle memory. I tried zsh at first but it winds up slow to get even close to where fish is out of the box. I still end up scripting in bash or sh for portability.

nu-shell won’t be available in as many places, and it looks to me like it would change paradigm in a way that would hinder working with bash or zsh over time. That’s just my 2c though as I have only briefly glanced at it and haven’t truly considered using it.

Interesting I’ve always just deleted the contents of the entire buffer and :wq to cause a failure due to lack of message
iN7h33nD··on 5-min breathing workout lowers blood pressure as much as exercise, drugs (2021)
This is especially true for pregnancy. The provider you choose has an extreme amount of power over you towards the end.

For my first we were basically threatened and coerced for near zero medical reason to get "interventions". Before we got to the hospital we were promised one thing, but when we got there it was break her water or find a new provider and potentially have our baby die.

We trusted the doctors even though we both felt coerced and lied to. It all culminated in an unnecessary C-section 12 hours later because the doctor was already woken up for someone else. She said our baby was going to have a much worse outcome. That we would just have a c-section anyway so we might as well just do it.

I think we both deal with the team from that still.

Just remember to interview your doctor's and find local patient outcomes. We wish we had the first time.

The second went with minimal intervention and, fingers crossed, the third will go the same.

Also it's not that we are against needed intervention or chosen intervention. We simple want the best outcome for everyone. Intervention imo should be a last resort or as needed for patients like my wife.

iN7h33nD··on Start Self Hosting
It's very active. I have been using it for years and they update often enough.
iN7h33nD··on Free Audio Books: Download Great Books for Free
Worm really opened up a whole new section of "books" for me. Previously I thought that most web serials were on par with fan fiction in quality and subject matter. That being said another free audio book that is also a web serial (not sure if it's complete just yet) is Mother of Learning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjR6qnMXU9o&list=PL1R6q3pUbd...
iN7h33nD··on Researchers find inverse correlation between advertising and life satisfaction
I did not cherry pick the worst examples, just the most common. Only one of your examples could possibly lead to a good aspiration in people, charities. Even that seems like a stretch though as many advertisements for charities are scams or to charities that only use a low percentage of the donation for the charities cause. It could push people to look up a list charities and donate, which is why it could be positive.

We don't need ads for schools or politicians a person should make their own choice based on impartial data and public debates. Movie trailers in and of themselves are not bad, but as advertisements they only drive people to consume. I can't say that they give positive aspirations.

Why do we need to be socialist or a utopia to ban most advertising?

iN7h33nD··on Researchers find inverse correlation between advertising and life satisfaction
I think that the aspirations that almost all advertisements give to people are actively harmful in every possible way.

- It is the main revenue source of most mentally harmful products like social media. A replacement created for the good of the world paid for by taxes with open data would be much preferred.

- Has masked how the world really functions via out-right lies and deception. Coke makes you happy, Happy Cows come from California, Diamonds must be given to show love

- Allows people with the most money to have the most likely chance of getting elected.

- Uses your personal information so that they are more likely to sell you things.

- Drug should not be advertised. Why the would a doctor want their patient to ask them for a specific drug???

- Convinced people that single use garbage should have a place in our society.

I am sure there are many more negatives, but for now I think this will suffice.

Perhaps with enough regulation many of these things could be changed, but I don't see it happening. Advertising can be used for good, see anti-smoking ads, but in its current state it is all bad. I can't think of an aspiration an ad has given me which gave me a problem to fix instead of a reason to consume.

iN7h33nD··on Deploy-your-own-SaaS: “only yours” cloud services for everyday needs
Same here. I don't use any of the yunhost apps though. Instead I use docker images and the redirect community yunhost app to route to them. Eventually I want to run yunhost itself in a docker container. Regardless it has been Rock solid for me for about three years as well
iN7h33nD··on The worst morale-boosting gesture I've experienced
My first job, 8 months on relatively fresh to software dev. They announced we were going to have a pizza party the next day for all of our hard work this year. The next day come around and about an hour or two beforehand I see managers running, yes literally running, around the office and taking people aside. Turns out half the company was fired and there wasn't even pizza. They pretty much just said, we fired some people no big deal, back to work everyone.
iN7h33nD··on Beyond Meat S-1
How will a future where are animals that humans consume leading happy lives decrease demand? Doesn't decreasing demand counter your point about creating more lives being a better thing, since that would lead to less lives?

Even if I was optimistic about farming being able to have animals leading happy lives, it would still ignore many negative factors dealing with animal consumption:

1. The environmental impact from animal consumption would increase if all animals lead happy lives and consumption stayed the same.

2. Dairy products could no longer be produced as that would lead to unhappy animals

3. The sustainability of eating animals, we produce feed for them, and then we eat them. It would make much more sense to only produce feed for us.

iN7h33nD··on Beyond Meat S-1
You don't live a happy life being raped and having a child taken away at birth so that milk can be produced for humans. All animals cannot live "happy" lives. Demand won't allow it. There is no future where all animals can be happy and the level of meat consumption can stay the same.

So you would choose to live a happy 15 years and then die. Unfortunately most animals that we farm cannot and do not live happy lives, and they don't get a choice. You would more realistically be living to 15 until slaughter with torture, rape, and your children being taken away to further the cycle. Never existing seems better. There is another option though, not raping, torturing, and slaughtering for humans to consume. Humans won't wither away without animal products.

In the not so distant past slaves were given "happy" lives by there owners. They were lesser beings so they should be happy to be alive at all right?

iN7h33nD··on ‘I’m Broke and Mostly Friendless, and I’ve Wasted My Whole Life’
Just watched a documentary about a female investigating the mens rights movement. It was very eye opening and some of the things they talk about hit home being a man. Its called The Red Pill[0].

Its not about the crazies on reddit by the way. It starts off a bit rough talking about controversial article written by mens rights activists, but just keep watching, I swear they explain it.

iN7h33nD··on What Is The Morning Writing Effect?
Not really a reply to your point. Thanks for your post, I think i finally understand my sleep "problem" now. I think I have the same "disorder"
iN7h33nD··on Humanity has wiped out 60% of animals since 1970, major report finds
Many sources would beg to differ about meat not being a problem.

So even if FAO got it wrong, I just don't see beef not being a problem.

iN7h33nD··on Time to End Factory Farming?
This video by Kurzgesagt has a very good explanation as well

iN7h33nD··on Time to End Factory Farming?
Is what your arguing actually backed by science though?
iN7h33nD··on Time to End Factory Farming?
The same logic was applied to slavery, and is still applied with racism. You believe that you are better than something or someone else. Who cares what happens to them, they are not a real living thing like me...
iN7h33nD··on Reddit just passed Facebook as #3 most popular website in US
I was just thinking of something exactly like this. I started my own nas in my basement using yunohost and I really think self hosting on old hardware and federation could finally help decentralize the internet.
iN7h33nD··on Lead is even deadlier than was feared
Lead is still used all over the place in he USA. Its very concerning. You have to specifically look for lead free versions. Examples:

* "fake" christmas decorations (trees, wreaths) often contain lead

* Garden hoses almost always contain lead

iN7h33nD··on Older Americans who live in RVs and drive from one low-wage job to another
So we shouldn't start a family on 21k, but then you say that the median household income is 60k. That's because two married people making an income of 30k each before taxes gives 60k. So which is it don't start a family or do? Why should people with less opportunity not be allowed a family anyway? Even with your 60k median (basically a bit more than 21k each) is hardly enough to live on, saving for retirement is just out of the question. Your logic here is very flawed, without even getting into any other numbers/situations these theoretical people may go through. Take the average cost of health care, utilities, medical bills, dentist bills, rent, and food. Even if these people were to do no eating out and no entertainment, I think you would find that they would not have enough to save for retirement. Throwing the word lazy around is a "lazy" argument

What an excellent response! You just summarized my exact feelings about his post better than I ever could!
