You’re absolutely right, but the average person does not think like you. Most people don’t ever think about stuff like this.

And so you currently have a very “high-level”, rational view of technology, that makes it amazing specifically for you.

However, you either disregard or lack contact with people that are (vastly) different. When looking at a technology in relation to the world, like you want to know about in this topic, you have to view the effects on those different people from you as well. And what other people in this thread said is simply observable and happening. A very small percentage uses the internet/technology like you do. The overall effect on the population is not solely amazing.

Exactly the same, just that I don’t use a screen protector either.

This thing has been dropped so much that I think it’s just undestroyable, the new Nokia 3310

The JIT compiler of Java does the optimization you’re talking about. So that advantage of C++ is not really there.

You can compile C++ for all architectures you want as well. The reason you don’t normally use Java for clients is that the garbage collector runs at undefined times, causing stuttering. This has been rectified through new algorithms though, so the real reason why you don’t wanna use Java is because it simply doesn’t have the best tooling and libraries that C++ has, no Unreal engine and no Godot.

Why the fuck would you go for Backend in C++ and frontend in Java 🤣 just the wrong way around

Why do you have to reduce it to one? Isn’t it simply all at the same time to varying degrees?

Even with the external mind it’d be irrelevant. As long as we have no way of knowing the future or being able to predict it, having or not having free will is observed in exactly the same way.

For the markings, I’ve seen such a small cart that just had an adjustable wheel on a pole at the side. Since the pole was fixed length, they just kept the wheel near the outer road border and thus kept the distance always the same, keeping the marking in the middle.

Honestly, why not ask Discord support? It’s literally their problem they’d want to fix most likely :D

If you use it in the web version, I have LULs, a script which makes all Lemmy links that point to a different instance which you encounter while browsing, to point to your instance.

Little common luxuries, lots of nature, lots of silence, freedom from most things. It’s a return to a more ancient, simple way of life.

For some people this represents extreme comfort and serenity.

For other people they don’t understand why you’d give up having a warm shower readily available (or similar things) and are annoyed the whole way.

Have fun finding out what’s yours! :D

Ideas are incredibly cheap. It’s absolutely unlikely that no one ever had your idea. It’s even likely that someone had your idea and it failed, and you don’t/can’t even know about it because no one bothered to record the failure.

Other people have mentioned all kinds of ambitious/proper ways to do this. I’ve got a different view: if you truly think this will work, do a basic version yourself.

Learn basic blender, design 3D printed parts yourself and let someone print them. Use some app builder and tutorials, or hire a programmer for a very rudimentary prototype work. Buy generic electronics. Just get it working once. Then show it to people, let them use it, ask if they would buy it, preferably let them sign a slip of paper not to talk about this product or compete with it (there are standard NDA/non-compete contract clauses online available) or talk to people you can trust.

If you do all this and get positive feedback, then you can start doing this properly and get more people on it, like the other commenters mentioned.

It’s already unique. I can’t get what I get here anywhere else.

Of course you can create it basically anywhere. But if you’re going to allow posting of pictures of women in bikinis, your community will be mainly used to masturbate, that much is guaranteed. So if that is the case, it makes complete sense to put it on lemmynsfw.com.

I’m not sure how many are actually interested directly in bikinis. I.e. if there was no woman attached to them, would people actually like and comment on pictures of bikinis, or start discussion threads about topics related to bikinis? I mean sure, there are probably some people, but I’m also pretty sure they’re vastly outnumbered by people interested in bikinis because a woman is clothed by them.

But isn’t “pick up multiple orders at a restaurant, then figuring out in which order to deliver them to minimize time spent delivering” the traveling salesman problem? I thought that’s what the post referred to.

You’re likely gonna experience racism in some form in any community you go to where you are the minority. People are racist, not people of some specific skin color.

So your assessment is correct, if you go to a majority black community you’re probably gonna find people racist against white people.

But when you go to the US, white is still the majority. And if you’re not the majority, you’re mostly still a large part. Statistically, the most racism you’ll experience is everyday racism, where maybe some black people believe you’re an asshole even though you aren’t. Most of the time you’re not going to experience anything.

So they have a dedicated space for spam. Still is spam.

I don’t necessarily think people can be evil.

I know of some of my abusers that they were abused themselves. They knew what they were doing to me wasn’t right but it gave them feelings of power in a world where they otherwise felt powerless.

For others, bullying me was a social sport, just something you did to “belong” to a certain group.

I think what they did was evil, but I don’t think they were evil people. They were normal people with inadequate upbringing put into painful situations that resulted in bullying/abusing me being the only perceived “good” outcome for them. For almost all people who do evil things, this is the case.

I think we all possess the ability to do evil acts in response to certain stimuli, many are just lucky enough never to receive the set of stimuli that causes them to be evil, so they can allow themselves to think they are different, i.e. “good”, and start labeling other people a certain way, i.e. “evil”.

Conversely, I also think all the people who do evil acts are also able to do good acts in certain situations.

What we then call a “good” or an “evil person” is just a person where we perceive a larger share of behaviors attributed to that adjective. But are they evil or good people, is that a quality inherent to them? Or is the environment they grew up in evil or good? Or are humans in general evil or good? Is our perception of the share of each set of behaviors even right?

I think no one deserves for their whole self to be called evil. I think you can call actions evil, and some people may have a lot of these actions, and they’re worthy of being avoided because of that, but I believe they’re the same kind of person than everyone else, just put into terrible situations. So no, I don’t think people can be evil.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. How did those encounters affect you?

What’s stopping you? No money? :D
