I feel like self driving cars are going to end up being the vanguard of deciding this, and I basically see it as mirroring human liability with a high standard where gross negligence becomes criminal. If a self driving car can be proven to be safer than a sober human, it will serve the public interest to allow them to operate.

The liability wouldn’t be on the development, but the deployment.

Yeah. I feel like Lemmy doesn’t have the tools needed to moderate a larger community outside of defederation.

You’re likely hitting a point where the level of protection is very expensive yet spending the money isn’t politically popular. That Trump has had multiple attempts on his life recently and there hasn’t been an increase in funding speaks to the lack of political will.

Within the Roman Empire, Christianity ended up succeeding as the apocalypse cult within the empire, with Rome eventually foresaking the old gods for Jesus.

As Roman retreated, Rome’s church survived and became a unifying force in Europe. While there were crusades, there were also cases of willing conversion in order for border nations to gain access to the European market and diplomacy.

Moderation is a volunteer activity that requires dealing with the public. I’m willing to give them wide leeway on how they want to moderate their own communities.

It might have a shot. It has a large auto industry already. All it needs are batteries and electric motors.

If you work for an American company you may end up with an American style corporate hierarchy, but Danish companies are a lot more egalitarian on average. Not just office wise, but also “only addressing the boss by their first name” wise.

That’s been a thing in the USA for decades.

Because the ad monopoly is subsidizing the other businesses.

Breaking up Google to smaller companies but leaving the ad market as is the same just creates more Mozillas, companies technically independent but still relying on the same revenue stream.

But how do you break up Google? Their ad business is the lynchpin to their monopolies and breaking off chunks without being able to self fund is just asking for harm to the market.

Breaking off Chrome while banning paid default search status puts the browser company with the same problem as Firefox.

No one can run a search company without ads.

Cutting along business lines is just going to create smaller monopolies or dead product lines.

I thought Their Eyes Were Watching God was really rough to read through because Hurston was trying to phonetically write out how her characters spoke and it was painful to read through.

And I like how it is somewhat discussed in American Fiction through the different writers and their approaches to black literature.

If you are accessing your work email through your phone, you’re going to be pinging the server with your phone’s IP address. Duo isn’t adding any tracking beyond that.

Duo is Cisco’s version of authentication. The only permissions it has on my phone is notifications.

In its current form, it doesn’t appear to let your company’s IT department control your phone.

Sony also maintained backwards compatibility and sold the PS2 as the world’s cheapest DVD player.

I’m expecting that Steam on Linux is going to be what drives it.

The Steam Deck can be used as a Linux computer and almost a turnkey way for a manufacturer to build a Steam computer without Windows.

I thought 10 was an improvement on 8, in part because they walked back some changes to 8.

I have yet to hear of a reason to go to 11.

The most populous city in Florida for a lot of the 19th century was Key West, which is crazy to think about compared to today.

The thing about Florida is that its development mirrors a lot of western states more as massive public works projects made larger and larger pieces of Florida habitable. Then, over the, the touristy bits converted to actual cities with actual economies.

Because they are looking for conversations.

the tech space is very much innovate or die

Is it still? The VC funding has started drying up and every tech company has started worrying about profitability now. I think the old innovate or die mantra has played itself out.

And IBM & Motorola diminished in part because they stuck to older industries where cost became as important as innovation and didn’t lower their cost.

You also have some newer mods who are controlling the narrative for profit.
