That’s a different story all together. In that case, there really were only 2 options and one was clearly morally wrong so Janeway had to do exactly that
There’s an old saying in Tennessee (I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee) that says, take the first path, shame on… shame on you. The third path- you can’t get fooled again.
You know, I’d be OK with all the AI tosspots breaking copyright if I didn’t risk getting a nastygram every time I download Jason Statham Beats People Up For 90 Minutes VII without a VPN.
Either we can all do what we want online or no cunt can.
You’re missing the point. The trolley problem represents a moral dilemma. The question should instead be: is any further derivation of this meme ethical? Is responding in a comment immoral in itself?
Everyone knows what the trolley problem is about. I think it’s you who’s missing the point. Instead of blindly accepting the unacceptable solutions that are offered, come up with your own, better solution.
A concrete example of this is doctors and hospitals creating guidelines about how to triage care when ICUs were/are full because of unmitigated spread of COVID.
It is definitely an “interesting” phylisophical question to ask:
“If a long term ventilator user comes into the ICU, with the ventilator they own and brought from home, and they are less likely to survive than an otherwise healthy young man who needs a respirator due to COVID infection, is the morally best choice to steal the disabled person’s ventilator (killing them) and use it to save the young man’s life?”
The policy question that should be asked instead, and never really ways, is “How do we make sure that we never get to the point where we have so many people in the ICU from a preventable disease that we run out of respirators and need to start choosing who to let die?”
Disabled people continue to plead with us for the bare minimum, like requiring doctors who work with immunocompromised patients to wear N95 respirators while treating those patients.
We continue to chose to stack more people on both sets of tracks instead.
I’ve been using steam since Half Life 2 released and had the survey pop up twice. And both times major data-points were completely wrong. Like resolution (it apparently used my second screen) and HDD space.
That data is about as relevant as a once a lifetime epidemiologic study about diet preferences.
Yesterday was the first time I got the survey on my Deck.
I got it on the desktop (as I often am during the day because I do all my work on it), and noticed that while it reported the device as Valve manufactured and the OS correctly, a whole bunch of other data was wrong, like it said the device didn't support touch, etc.
Should I have taken the survey on Game Mode? Is it even possible to get the survey in Game Mode?
I almost never play on macOS since it’s my work computer, but sometimes I’ll look something up on it. Something like 80-90% of my gaming is on my Steam Deck, with the rest on my Linux desktop, though sometimes I’ll play a game on my work computer when on a break (usually just watch videos instead).
