It sounds absolutely and completely overpowered for a phone… … Well, what did I expect ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That changes my perspective on them a lot. Well, another lesson taken - don’t jump too quickly onto conclusions.
Interesting! I didn’t know this existed, but I can align myself pretty well with this terminus. Thank you :)
Pixelfed, and occasionally Mastodon. I love the Pixelfed community, it always seems just very chill and focused on making great pictures.
Thank you. That is the day when I’ll finally stop using Reddit. I never have thought that bots write that realistically, so thank you for proving it.
True, hood point. I remember to have read a study according to which a disproportionate amount of people at the top (aka CEOs) display narcissistic behavioral traits - so it can make sense to suspect the same applies to other personality disorders. It just feels ahhh to me - that these people dont utilize their talents and itelligence to improve the world, but to build up ways to monetize every last bit of your time. Like come on :/
Am I the only one who gets the feeling that this is kinda dystopic? Like come on, this just gets crazy. It amazes me that some people think this is an ethically acceptable way to earn money.
I haven’t heard of it! Thanks for the suggestion! :)
Yes, definitely. For me, it is kind of a meditation - while I work out, I can’t really think a lot, and after working out I’m exhausted. It is just a reset for thoughts.
Okay, let me rephrase - for me it sounds that if people work together, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Aka, if I am one of the twenty who sit around and do nothing, stand up, I on my own probably won’t be able to block the policy. But if I stand up, there’s a good chance others will get up as well and do. Or maybe I’ll discover that after I stand up, there are three others of whom I haven’t suspected anything, but who now also oppose the policy. And thus by standing up, you also influence others. If that is successful (aka if you can stop the policy or not), you can only find out afterwards.
Is that right?
Then every single person who takes any action would make a difference in the world and change the situation, which obviousy isn’t true. Lots of people have tried rebelling and fighting against a regime, but failed. So this logic doesn’t apply in every case, does it?
I think the argument is kinda weak, because from my decision to do something (like construct a weapon) the other workers at the factories don’t change their opinion. For these kinds of events to happen, there must either already be a huge grudge in the workforce, so that you’re the “tipping point”, or you have to be as charismatic as a reborn Jesus and convince everyone to follow you. Both of these events seem implausible here. Thus, your decision to make or not make a weapon will not influence others, and the outcome won’t be significant.
However, I’d love to have your input on it. I think the question if for the judgment of an action it is important that it is significant (or not) is a fundamentally important one, so I’d really appreciate your response here :)
Very good criterias! I think OP posted a great question, and your philosophy seems to be a very interesting merge of a virtue-based approach (that A/B is always good/bad) and an utilitarian one. I like it at a lot :)
This is a really impressive story. Thank you for sharing it - for me, it seems that you have come quite a long way.
The urge to comment “I use Arch btw” is overwhelming
Yes, absolutely. But many cheap devices are relatively data-friendly, and many expensive are data collection machineries. While there is obviously a correlation, it definitely isn’t a causality, and I feel strange breaking it down like that.
You know, you’re right. I’ve deleted my main comment - I think this topic cannot be broken down that easily. While I am concerned that privacy laws are often ridiculed by big companies, my comment was very classist. So thanks for calling me out, I feel weird about it now.
True. I am sorry for not specifying it, I should’ve done it. Of course if someone gets a cheap 100$ phone out of necessity, it is very weird of me to judge this person.
I think that’s a good way to watch these movies, actually. For no money of the world you won’t get me to watch them seriously, but maybe I’ll rematch them as a bad parody ;)
