Synthetic biology. This is a hype wave waiting to happen. Can’t wait for crops to get enshittified /s Hopefully we move beyond the Sillicon Valley business model by then.

No no, it got banned by the EU around 2000 and was already banned in many states befpre that

Well it can’t be sold anymore, but if you have it in your house then it’s not illegal in any way

I think there is a growing divide between the most and least intelligent in society, and it has been growing with tech advancement (the gap wouldn’t have been that big in the middle ages). If we ever develop superintelligent AI, I can see that becoming an inflection point in this divide because we (Lemmy dwellers) will become as fallible to that AI as the people you mentioned are today in what is still a human-dominated society. Introducing AGI will vastly exasperate the gap between the most and least intelligent and I can’t see society surviving that in its current form.

And what is a Fucking Ass?

It’s from all that soy milk

Look at all the things that are the result of humans direct action. Now understand how many jobs occurred for the person that finally “did the thing” you’re looking at.

Hmm, this is actually a great perspective to look at this from. I’ll try this out

The intersectional jobs aee also a great tip. I’ll start digging

I don’t think federation per se would help dissolve disinfo bubbles. Just look at the bubble the tankies at Grad have created for themselves.

Would it make sense to have bought it in the past just for leverage now? (not asking about 1 stock but if a ton of ppl did)

So essentially throwing a ton of things at the wall and seeing what sticks (when you don’t know what thing (eg. job) you actually want to aim for)? Hmm I can imagine that being the best approach at times

You are right that being delibarate about picking a strategy and constantly returning to it so it structures your ADHD brain is a very helpful approach. What I’m looking to hear about is people’s alternatives to the strategy of googling when the goal is finding real-world opportunities like jobs or housing. Ie. other methods for traversing that net of chaos.

Perhaps if they piggybacked some sort of strike movement and/or cooperated with trade unions (plus focused only on a few seats initially)? That’s what the Labour party did in the UK.

It is! Now I’ve just gotta overcome my disgust of C++ in order to write apps for it… (this client is written in Vala, ie. C#)

Yeah, I feel like people on here have a bad habit of relating even completely unrelated posts back to US politics. But if you keep reading the news then your brain tends to do that.

I’ve blocked most of it with a keyword filter

I miss that and that was kind of peak computing to me

Yup, I feel exactly the same :D It’s called AeroThemePlasma and I dig it so much

Oh, yeah I got this too. It doesn’t work with lemmy.ml because they don’t provide API access for some reason (at least the API that this client uses)…

Nice! Yeah, logging in throws errors sometimes, idk why but some instances (.ml) do this almost always. Perhaps try removing the account?
I can try adding the comments as a tab. The reason I originally put them in a new window was because comments sections tend to be quite wide so I didn’t think they would fit in the tall-but-narrow layout of the main window too well
Good call with the local and all tabs, I’ll add those to the sidebar.
