  • No, ignorant takes like yours are the real problem.

    Is this Reddit?! (Looks up at title bar in confusion.)

    No.....well, this is odd.

  • Yes. Even when I know what the limits are, and why, the thing lulls you into responding as if it were a conscious agent. The downside of the way it produces speech.

  • As always, the limits of tolerance are met when it comes to suggesting we tolerate intolerance. The boundary must be set there.

    Too many posts from the 3 Down Nation Feed (and not enough from community users)

    Absolutely. It's a timeless masterpiece in my opinion.

  • LemmyTools 0.2.0.7 is released! Now with Top Bar as default! Browser addon news: LemmyTools functionality is being explored to go into the "Instance Assistant for kbin & lemmy!" by cynber!

    Jump

  • Thanks, I'll take a look and give this a try.

    Edit: Looks like the subscribed communities dropdown has been added to the latest version of mlmym so perhaps I won't need it on the old.lemmy.* sites

  • Awesome, thanks for the update and new features!

    Would it be possible to make the script work with old.lemmy.ca (and old.lemmy.world, etc) as well? The lack of access to subscribed communities on the old.* frontend, despite its advantages, makes it borderline unusable.

  • Does one lemmy account work across different instances?

    Jump

  • Your account is only your account on one instance. You can have other accounts on other instances. However, you can access and post to all of the communities, content, and posts on all federated instances from your one account on one instance.

  • Why do each of my accounts have different subscription lists?

    Jump

  • So far I have to create a new username/password on each instance and subscribe to all the things I want to on that new account.

    Why are you needing to do that? You only need one account on one instance and you can subscribe to all the things you want on every instance (assuming that it hasn't been defederated for some reason). That way you'll only have one account with one list of subscribed communities instead of differing ones on different accounts.

  • Mapping a gas station / convenience store

    Jump

  • Okay, that makes sense. Thanks.

  • Mapping a gas station / convenience store

    Jump

  • Thanks, that did help somewhat. However, it's still a bit ambiguous with 'add a node at the center of the fuel station...' not being clear if that means the building or the pumps or the entire property. (I've seen it all three different ways on OSM), and, of course, it then goes onto say "or create a way around the fueling area." The term 'fueling area' makes me think it may mean the pumps? That's not all that clear again, and I've seen it different ways. I suppose both are okay then, but I was thinking there would be some accepted consistent way to do this. Likewise, for the convenience store it gives both the option of adding a node in the middle of the building and marking that as the convenience store or mark the building itself as the a convenience store.

    Sounds like all those options are okay. I suppose I was just being a bit too pernickety about it and wanting there to be a perfectly consistent way to do this.

    Why are folks so anti-capitalist?

    Jump

  • That’s an interesting perspective! Care to share some data?

    Well, of course the data on what our actions (much of which are due to and based upon capitalism) are doing to are environment and climate, and inevitably must lead to given the implicit but incorrect assumption of infinite resources of that system, is everywhere and basically impossible to ignore these days, isn't it? And, almost as easy to find is the data on other cultures killing themselves off (in the, at the time, limited scope of their part of the planet) due to their actions, such as Easter Island.

    Why are folks so anti-capitalist?

    Jump

  • Sure, there's no argument about the benefits for many (me and you included, as demonstrated by the fact we can have the resources and time to post this here) of that system. And it's true that it works better than many other systems we've tried. Absolutely! That does not change the fact that it is by its nature combined with human nature, demonstrably inevitably self-destructive for all. Ignoring that (which, of course, so many folks are very motivated to do) is at our peril. We literally won't have to worry about what system is better or worse for much longer if this continues.

    So, it seems quite clear that arguing that it's better than the others, for many, for now, is not a useful, rational, or coherent approach, since it is inevitably fatal for all. That is a bit like arguing that it's 'better' to wear small amounts of lead (and other poisonous substances) in cosmetics to attract folks we want to have around us socially (as the elite did, of course, in our history) resulting in the inevitable mid and long term sickness and death of those people instead of finding other solutions.

    Instead, it seems far more rational to work really hard to figure out what can work better!

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, your reply ignores the increasing, and increasingly destructive and fatal (for all), short, mid, and long term consequences of doing this. Yes indeed, for an unfortunately small overall percentage of all of humanity, we've never been wealthier, healthier, and happier. Very true! And for those of us, me included, that are enjoying the fruits of that (middle class and above in the world's wealthier countries, which is also the demographic that is far more likely to be reading and commenting here) it is really easy to ignore, deny, and pretend those consequences are not rearing their heads both now and in the future. However, for the sake of our species we cannot ignore this.

    Jump

  • Well I mean it’s unclear to me that we’re much worse than previous points in history.

    That's interesting, because to me it's very clear. After all, small isolated pockets of people ruining their economy and the environment they depend on is quite a bit different from all of humanity everywhere doing this.

    Jump

  • Because the unintended consequences of capitalism, due to human psychology, are the destruction of the substrate it relies upon and that humans require for survival (as is so very demonstrable right now), and (again, due to human psychology and our tribal and hierarchical nature) the increasing imbalance of wealth (and therefore power) to a select few (who are generally making the former issue far worse).
