more leftists make revolution

  • Personally, I have P(AGI within 10 years) around 15%. I think anyone who is saying definitely no or definitely yes to AGI within this time frame is vastly overconfident in their understanding of the technology, one way or the other. Or they vastly underestimate the utility of bullshit. Of course, I also have P(doom|AGI) probably around 40-70%.

  • It seems to me like the media is about the same as it was in 2017, as even in 2017 anyone with an opinion and an internet connection could gain throngs of followers online. The difference I see is that major news organizations have shifted to be moderately more conservative (previously ~centrist organizations are now moderately trump-approving, and previously conservative organizations are now far right, previously democrat-favouring organizations are now hedging their bets). MAGA is pressuring or threatening to pressure social media organizations to shift toward more MAGA content, but I think we're not even at the inflection point for this yet.

  • In 2017, it was observed that Trump had ticked all but two boxes. Now that he's bent on controlling the media, it seems there's just 1 remaining. But there is still free media, so perhaps it's more like 1.5.

    Some have commented that the elections are already fraudulent, but I remain skeptical of this. I'll admit that gerrymandering is a problem, but gerrymandering has always been a problem so it's not a bright-line for me. Still, I can't shake the idea that the main reason there hasn't been a fraudulent election under the 47th presidency so far is that there hasn't been an election at all yet.

    Either way, you don't need every box checked to be alarmed.

  • No. Under the liberalism → fascism model, this would be late liberalism, early fascism. It's where we are now.

  • What is the problem with techno-solutionism? Is it just that under capitalism techno-solutionism often results in corruption? Is the development of lemmy not techno-solutionism (to the enshittification of reddit)?

  • hmm, I added GApps to my LineageOS, which includes Google Play Services.

  • You can use LineageOS on your existing non-pixel android phone, instead of purchasing a pixel.

  • this is exactly why google should have been broken up.

  • I use LineageOS. Will this affect me? I'm getting unclear answers. Someone told me that the apps will be forced to verify the OS.

  • on the one hand, obviously this is not the way you should be using that function. On the other hand, I'm not sure how you even should.

  • Did they fix the problem where for some reason, on steam deck you can't do local multiplayer? You need to provide a command line argument to turn on local multiplayer and I can't begin to comprehend why they did this.

  • True, but this was.

  • Dividing the world according to this uniform mathematical system is so stupid. Is this secretly a pro-gerrymandering psyop?

  • I think the regime probably seems pretty good to pro-life anti-queer christian white and east-asian women.

  • 51 years is 2 generations.

  • I also agree with it, he is fascist. But yeah, the right don't view "Antifa" as encompassing everyone who is against fascism. Just like how, say, banning Mothers Against Drunk Driving would not ban mothers against against drunk driving. Of course, one of those is an actual legal entity, the other is a vague movement.

  • I agree with this philosophy, but it does require you to admit that before civilization we were all slaves to nature. I think this is true, but some people might object that this meaning of "slave" is different from the conventional meaning.

  • yeah, I agree. But like, pointing fingers at "politicians" broadly speaking is still just pointing fingers.

  • I was saying that if the left is broadly condoning the murder, then it might as well be the party that murdered Kirk.
