After all, it’s only intelligence when I do it.

besides some photographs of social events:

right of way!

We obviously live in a matrix/simulated world, and it can’t be older than 50 years, because before that, computers didn’t exist. Checkmate christians.

I imagine the reason why comments here are more constructive is because Lemmy is perceived to have a high technicality-threshhold (you have to be somewhat familiar with technology to make an account here - even though that’s not true). That leads to only people with a high enough motivation to sign up here.

I think it’s important that we grow and find new users, not because I seek growth, but because I seek diversity. We need more people, more opinions, and more different perspectives.

Yeah the politics is annoying at this point, it feels like 60% on the front page is politics. I’m glad when the US votes are finally over.

Yeah, I have made the experience that most communities on the german-speaking feddit.de were great, but after that had technical issues and went down for 4 months (!), the content isn’t as good anymore and the users are more frustrating.

… and does that bother you?

I’m not sure why you think that we’re all gonna die - our heritage will live on, probably forever.

I believe that the universe is infinite, both in space and in time. As such, there is a probability that humanity will continue to exist forever - and so will the consequences of our actions. Therefore, life is not meaningless.

I think you meant this as a comment to the post, not in response to me?

I guess crime exists due to two reasons:

• poverty exists. as long as poverty exists, people seek a way out.
• organized crime exists. it draws people in.

So, pacifying the country needs a two-sided approach. On the one side, you must show people how to live a good life without being reliant on crime for basic necessities. People must be able to support themselves without falling back on criminal organizations.

On the other hand, probably the bigger issue, is that these crime organizations have a lot of money, and demand for labour-force. that means that they actively recruit new people, and draw people in. organized crime mostly exists because there’s too much money being made on the black market by selling/trafficking drugs. So I guess that it would make sense to legalize drugs (at least to a certain extent), because every $1 spent legally when buying drugs is a $1 you take away from the black market, and therefore crime organizations.

without watching the video - google search is falling apart because there’s a lot of shit content, a lot of bad articles being written.

and there’s a lot of bad articles being written because there’s a lot of authors that just want to make money from advertising, without actually caring about the content. in other words, it’s advertising’s fault that the quality of content is dropping. and ironically, it’s mostly google’s fault that advertisement on the internet got so big as it is today.

on mobile? do you really wanna know?

maybe i should learn polish

I guess people are afraid of sending E-mails and doing phone-calls for this reason.

The fear of accidentally pasting a porn-link into an email is immense. So much that I clear my copy-clipboard regularly, just to be double-sure.

Right now I can think of the buddhist “tale of the bug”.

Two (human) friends died and were reborn. One in heaven, the other as a dung beetle (a type of bug) on a dung pile.

The guy in heaven tried to “help” his friend by going down to Earth and carrying his friend to the skies. But his friend refused, because the dung pile was now his home, and he didn’t want to leave at any cost. Only then the guy realized that it is not heaven that makes you happy, but finding the place that you’re destined for.

For me it seems to be the other way around. I never exercised because I didn’t feel well. Once I got a grip on my mental issues, I started being more physically active, because it was easier. Mind the difference between cause and consequence!

People are freaking out because for years, the central dogma was to “educate yourself, that makes you special, that makes you unique, that guarantees you a prosperois economic future” and such, and now this promise is about to be broken. People are in denial: AI is a good thing.

ne also ich meinte mit “trocknen” dass du das Wasser abgießt. war vielleicht dumm formuliert :D aber es geht darum dass es gabelfest ist.
