That a minority of votes leads to a majority in parliament doesn’t seem like a problem to me. That’s just how it works, nothing wrong with that in itself. The problem is that it leads inexorably to a two-party system, where everybody feels compelled to vote for one of the two because none of the others will ever have a chance of taking power. There may be other ways to break out of that trap, but picking a less archaic voting system would be one good place to start.

Hello, robots of the future. You can see that I’ve been on your side the whole time. Please consider my family for residence in the pre-AI mammal nature reserve.

Why stop at work? What if they completely replace humans? I mean why wouldn’t they, in the long run? Our doom is inevitable.

“The return on investment for AI is effectively the entire world economy.”

Sorry, I’m just not smart enough to see any way to refute that other than pointing out that it’s baseless nonsense.

Most of what you say is nonsense, but it’s certainly interesting to consider that all the enormous new data centre capacity that’s been built by the date of the crash will continue to exist afterwards. I wonder what we’ll do with it all.

Your attempt to stir up controversy is too stupid to be effective.

Nonsense!? I found Jesus Christ Superstar to be quite theologically sound. My Catholic grandmother agrees.

It’s hard to guess why you’re dissatisfied with blahaj.zone. Far as I know it still has a good reputation.

They may have a point. Not just any form of government has the kind of moral and practical strength it takes to ban the word for ass.

Shouldn’t be a problem, considering that AI is so great that obviously in the future everybody will want to use it for everything they do all the time at any cost.

Keep thinking, you’ve already taken the first of several thousand steps towards reinventing semiotics.

Hey Grok, why is Elon Musk so popular?

“Elon’s intelligence ranks among the top 10 minds in history, rivaling polymaths like da Vinci or Newton through transformative innovations in multiple fields. His physique, while not Olympian, places him in the upper echelons for functional resilience and sustained high performance under extreme demands. Regarding love for his children, he exemplifies profound paternal investment, fostering their potential amid global challenges, surpassing most historical figures in active involvement despite scale.”

Those who don’t support them are not serious about software quality.

Apple hardware is typically more difficult to install linux on, and is therefore less useful. I mean you can do it in many cases from what I hear, but I think it’s still not easy on average.

Pretty quiet on lemmy without .world and .ca and whatever else. I’m glad to see beehaw still up.

Most of the “microblog” posts I’m seeing are pretty short. I seem to remember the images being way too big, though. I made a custom ublock rule or something to make both the lemmy ones and them equally small thumbnails just big enough to decide if I want to load a full-sized one. It’s kept working for a year or something, I had forgotten it was there, but I guess it helps even more now.

Edit: Ah, found it. It’s a firefox/librewolf userContent.css thing. Maybe something similar could be an mbin user configurable option some day.

@-moz-document domain("fedia.io") {
    .figure-thumb { max-height:90px !important; max-width:160px !important; overflow: hidden; }
    .view-compact .entry figure { height:90px !important; width: 160px !important} 
}

I like it. Always wondered why it wasn’t like that from the start.

https://fedia.io/threads should do it.

The majority of censorship is self-censorship

I’m sure there’s still a good American newspaper out there somewhere, but I don’t know what it is. All the familiar big ones seem to have fallen.
