memes: easy as F to produce propaganda for the rich of any country to use on the poor of any other country

naw man, fuck that the only thing water boarding (and torture in general) does is get people to say whatever they can to make it stop. I just realized… with that as a tool, you could get any name you want out of anyone you’re torturing :(

Holy shit thank you! THANK YOU!

I didn’t know this was an option!

THANK YOU!!!

Im not there yet. Help me get addicted to Lemmy, please.

and try to leave it better than you found it

to quote XKCD, a rock is an analog computer that generates a rock

Economics is not math, its a religion.

reddits on Lemmy

Its going to be hard changing our vernacular

and no. If you know of any, lemme know

I ❤️ this so much. Thank you 😁

Yes, by running your own Lemmy server :P

Unfortunately, there is no way to distribute the work in that way. the @Home projects worked because it could give your computer a hard problem to work on with little traffic to and from the server.

no, unfortunately, the best way for all of us to contribute in those smallest of ways is to run an instance at home. That way, whatever amount of “thinking” (CPU) thats done by Lemmy server would normally have to do, you can do. Its not a lot of processing (CPU) though (compared to @Home), but its a lot of traffic

Eh, no. Mathematics is an hallucination of ours we are trying to desperately map onto reality. I say this as a mathematician. When you look out into our reality, you know what we see? A curved universe. There is nothing in our reality that is truely STRAIGHT.

YET, we creatures came up with such an natural thing as a straight line. Straight lines are a uniquely human hallucination. Its the logic we use to make sense of the world, but its a Rorschach test of our own making. You are attaching meaning to it because thats what our brains do. generate meaning out of chaos.

I need to look no further than pi, which is a number that represents our feeble attempts to push the round universe into our square heads. Its trying to represent the curved universe as a straight line (and visavers) - and reality said : LOL, NOPE!! YOU get a number that is more illusive than the irrationals. A never ending non patterned number.

All of nature is not based on mathematics. Mathematics is the language we use to describe nature. Thats like saying the Grand Canyon is BASED on book describing the Grand Canyon.

1.) No its not. Its our language, not nature’s.

2.) To a degree, yes. But thats because our brains are pattern seeking and pattern generating machines - not because nature follows a system WE made up.

3.) Did I mention Pi yet

THIS is a graph of a discovery that I made in number theory. Does it look like it has a pattern to you? I think this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, because IT MAKES NO SENSE. which means, we still have a lot to discover and learn

To quote the first words of the old Dune movie:

“A beginning is a very delicate time.”

What we should all take responsibility for is the health and quality of the community. We should be more active citizens, instead of the passive “consumers” we’ve all been corporately groomed to be.

I think more instances are the answer because this activity can’t be cheap. maybe Lemmy.world splits off into 2 or 4 instances. Lemmy1.world etc

This dynamic will have to stabilize in costs. I don’t know what that looks like.

Eh, more like, get your own car. Its slow because we are all used to going to just ONE site. We need to share the load and create our own servers… or pay lemmy.world for more bandwidth - which I don’t think they want to do.

squabbles is non federated… i just signed up with raddle

I mean, what other reddit clones are there?

Might I suggest we start paying for it this time, from the beginning? All of the sites we have been enjoying since the birth of Google have been a lie. They are all on borrowed time… myspace, google, facebook, youtube. each was loosing money for a decade before they had to start making money. We could CHANGE THAT NOW, if we all agreed to start chipping in on storage and transmission costs. I have no faith that it lemmy will last forever. eventually, it’ll get centralized somehow. But we could keep it decentralized for longer if we start normalizing having to pay for the content we enjoy

The third panel of that is LINUX: Can you install this 25 year old program?

It was already installed on there.

so, dick justice isn’t right? I mean, I can understand if the upvotes/downvotes are publicly transmitted… who knows what the instances share with each other. Maybe they are “%100 public” given some API calls…
