Actions that work in the possible world in which it collapses soon are actively harmful in possible worlds in which it doesn’t. Acting as if a threat will happen only makes sense if the action isn’t significantly harmful in cases where it doesn’t, where significantly is based on the harm of not being prepared and the chance of it happening.

If the Gulf Stream will collapse by 2025, the response isn’t to be more eco-friendly. In fact, it’s the opposite. Everyone in the north should prepare to burn a lot more fuel, and concern for global warming would definitely be reduced. Global warming is something you can only afford to give a shit about when temperatures haven’t just dropped by 3.5C and you haven’t just lost 78% of your arable land (UK figures, because that’s where I live).

jerdle_lemmy ,

It’s kind of important whether it’s 2095 (prepare for it, set up nuclear, reduce carbon emissions) or 2025 (fuck global warming, we need fuel and we need it now, the more carbon emitted the better).

jerdle_lemmy ,

That’s true if it’s closer to 2095. If it’s closer to 2025, there’s fuck all we can do to stop it, and so we need to do what’s best to survive it, which is not the same as what’s best to prevent it.

jerdle_lemmy ,

You are. People would be very worried. It’s just that their worry would not be expressed in attempts to improve things in the long-term when there’s a short-term disaster.

If the Gulf Stream will definitely collapse in 2025 (which is not what the study says), then that’s too soon to do anything about, so the priority is surviving it rather than preventing it. Fundamentally, things that help prevent disaster are not the same as things that help survive it.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Nah, it’s probably because most of us left Reddit at some point, either due to banning left-wing subs or due to corporate dickery.

The right-wingers went their way, to places like Voat, Saidit, Gab and Truth Social.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Hell, “gaslighting” itself is a good example of this phenomenon, and it’s mostly on the left.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Exactly. Blame/credit (blame in this case) doesn’t travel that way.

Take the following example: Alice and Bob both support view X. Bob also supports view Y. Y is evil. Then, Bob can be deemed responsible for supporting view Y. But X does not become evil because Bob is. And so Alice is completely fine.

jerdle_lemmy ,

As someone with similar views, I recently realised that I have the exact same tribalism and aggression, it’s just targeted at people who have that mentality.

jerdle_lemmy ,

It doesn’t to me. It’s just communists vs liberals rather than left vs right.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Finally. There you are. I’ve faced so many left-wing schmucks, I was wondering where the right-wing ones had gone.

But you’re still a schmuck. Leftists don’t want children to grow up to be vile.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Yeah, Reddit leans boringly mildly progressive, Lemmy leans communist.

jerdle_lemmy ,

If it were just that dimension, where’s all the (right-)libertarians?

jerdle_lemmy ,

You are a tankie though.

jerdle_lemmy ,

The latter.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Jeremy Corbyn is a notorious antisemitic twat who was so shit people literally voted for Boris fucking Johnson to avoid having Corbyn in power! How terrible do you have to be to get people to support Johnson?

jerdle_lemmy ,

Nobody cares what Lenin had to say. You’re not just talking to the lemmygrad lot.

jerdle_lemmy ,

I’m pretty sure that’s what they mean.

jerdle_lemmy ,

If you want to link me to an author I don’t recognise, you’ll have to try harder than Luxemburg!

jerdle_lemmy ,

That would be entirely unreasonable, because the ideal is not zero carbon output, it’s reducing carbon output to a sustainable level.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Exactly. Why does nobody understand economics?

jerdle_lemmy ,

Revanced still costs $0/month.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.

jerdle_lemmy ,

NewPipe’s great, but it’s less useful because I prefer some features it doesn’t have (like the ability to log in).

jerdle_lemmy ,

Wait, is it? Switched to Revanced because NP wouldn’t let me.

jerdle_lemmy ,

They often seem to blame capitalism for the fact we’re not in an impossible utopia.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Yeah, it was funny, but wouldn’t say it’s exactly useful here.

jerdle_lemmy ,

No, they’re not rational in the face of anything. They’re stupid virtue-signalling that does nothing to reduce climate change. The only way they could possibly be rational is that they get people talking about them, but climate change is not some little-known issue. The entire world has been screaming about it for the past 20 years. If you haven’t been listening, some cunt with soup isn’t going to change that.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Two zs, otherwise it’d be the past tense of speze.

jerdle_lemmy ,

If you want to kill everyone evil, start with yourself.

jerdle_lemmy ,

It’s neither, it’s a rhetorical “you”. Should’ve been clearer about that, sorry.

The thing about the paradox of tolerance is that the intolerance mentioned there is not regular bigotry. It’s quite specifically about a threat to the marketplace of ideas.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Somewhere that isn’t a little bitch, yeah.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Fucking Winnie-the-Pooh-ass bitch.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Yes, we want to say bitch. Bitch.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Yes. That is political affiliation. You might not share it, but whether same-sex marriage should be legal is absolutely a political question, even if it is now outside the Overton window.

Personally, I’m not sure I support any form of state marriage, but if it exists, it should include same-sex marriage.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Opposition to gay marriage was fairly common in the early and mid 2010s. It was only legalised 8 years ago in the US, and so, in 2016, it was still a live issue.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Oppo A54 5G with the associated Oppo Watch.

I like mostly that it’s an decent affordable 5G phone that came with a smartwatch on my contract.

What I don’t like is its tendency to overheat when the hotspot is on. The specific one I’ve had has had problems with its charger, but I’m not sure if that’s a general thing or a misuse thing or what. My watch also has a tendency to reset and erase itself if you look at it funny.

Overall rating: 3/5 (1/5 being the Doogee I had once that had adware integrated into the OS).

jerdle_lemmy ,

I trust America more than China. If some foreign government has to have my data, I’d rather it be America.

jerdle_lemmy ,

No, it doesn’t. The 100M is real. Musk really fucked up, Zuck took advantage of the opportunity.

jerdle_lemmy ,

A new EU law has restrictions on gatekeepers, and using ActivityPub means they’re less likely to be deemed gatekeepers.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Choice 2. 5 is ridiculous and more harmful to the fediverse than the worst case of EEE.

If Lemmy.world doesn't defederate from Threads, Meta and all things Zuck within 24 hours, I will shut down my subs and leave.

I didn’t come to a new service just to see it get taken over by the corporate beasts who ruined the internet in general, and I am sure as hell am not going to use an instance that doesn’t care about its users....

jerdle_lemmy ,

Fuckity bye. There’s a lot of other instances that don’t federate with Threads.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Exactly. I don’t want to join Threads, but I’m happy to federate with them.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Yeah, that’s my line. I’m happy with federating with Threads, but not being Threads’s bitch.

jerdle_lemmy ,

All social media has network effects, in which the value to a user is roughly proportional to the number of other users (probably not fully proportional at the high end, but definitely positively sloped).

jerdle_lemmy ,

Yeah, I’d be a lot more worried about some corporation eating Lemmy than Mastodon, because their communities would live on their site.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Because they really like conspiracies. Meta is only the regular level of evil it was before, it’s not a new improved variety of evil.

In my understanding of the main principles of the Fediverse, federating with any large corp should never even be considered. Is my understanding wrong? What is the "idea of the fediverse" to you?

There is one argument I’ve seen missing in most of the de/federation discussions, that I think should be mentioned, and warrants it’s own discussion....

jerdle_lemmy ,

It might be standard practice, but it is somewhat bad in that it destroys potential value. This does not mean that it is net negative, just that defederation is a cost.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Because I prefer my ideology with less authoritarianism. SWCC is borderline fascist.
