I have answered, and had to put “Other” in employment status because I am self employed. An option for self employment would have been useful in my opinion!

Oh yes, I am so threatened. You got me.

Curious what the deal will be. I’ll be furious if Ursula caves in to whatever absurd demands Trump has.

Afraid of what? Replying to what point? Your “shower thought” (lmao) is just a messy thought process of which every single step is based on nothing.

Why would we waste energy discussing consequences of events that will never happen?

It’s highly likely it will be restricted to implants only for quite some time, judging by how difficult it already is that way!

Not at all. There is many ways to rationalize time, nothing is settled at all. The “settled theory” you talk about would create paradoxes, if time travel is ever made real. And paradoxes don’t work well with reality.

There is actually a fairly common way to rationalize time that is the opposite of what you’re describing: Time is entirely a construct, there is no past, no future, only the present. Take away all of humanity’s memories and the past doesn’t exist at all.

There’s also an understanding of time that says it only goes forward, making time travelling to the past impossible.

It’s not like we actually know how time travel would work. Because, you know, it’s not currently a thing at all.

The inner app

I honestly don’t understand why it’s not already the norm. We’ve got plenty of great providers in Europe.

As much of a good idea as this is, I’m not sure a NYC-centric local news has its place on news@lemmy.world

As in, this really doesn’t matter for most of the world.

Except that he made Jarvis. Meaning he understands perfectly his tool’s abilities and limitations… Which vibe coders don’t.

It still shouldn’t be banned, it should be up for debate when picking a system. Explicitly banning a system is pretty much anti-democratic by nature.

Nothing screams “democracy” like explicitely banning a voting system

I don’t believe ECIs ever get a lot of media coverage, sadly.

Most people don’t even know they can start/participate in ECIs and have their opinion taken into account at a european level. Best we can do is share the platform and make sure as many people as possible know about it.

That 96% of the population isn’t currently in a state so shitty they’d revolt. We’re talking about a dystopian future where there is barely any work to do, yet no UBI or equivalent system. A future where the rich have everything and keep everything. People born in these conditions won’t be too lazy for a revolution.

Now that is some high quality projection hahaha

That’s on the people to vote for people who actually care.

Green parties rarely win, and that’s on us.

Then they will someday wake up with a shock, because no amount of tech will stop 99% of the population from winning a revolution. That only happens in movies.

Plus, many countries would riot far before it gets to this point. We frenchies protested for years “just” because of our retirement being pushed a few years…

yet none of the currently available tools seem to be anywhere near capable of it.

Exactly. It’s not even capable of properly doing web development, imagine trying to use it to target environment requiring absolute optimisation… Or even just video games.

It’s not even irony, it’s just willful projection at this point. And it works.
