Yes, Jesus is STILL better than his followers.

Yea, but that’s also true of Muhammad and every other figure from history.

The point is their freaking namesake deity’s prescription for behavior is infinitely more mature and respectable than them.

I’m sorry, was Discord created by non-capitalists at a time when fascism was taking over?

The situations and time of their creation are not the same.

Nonono, that’s taking a step backwards toward the Ship of Theseus instead of the teleporter question. Everyone agrees there is a continued experience regardless of whether someone says, “yup that’s still exactly your body”.

The entire point of the teleporter question is… where is “your” mind and identity defined? If it’s only a prescription for how a body looks and behaves, then it doesn’t matter. If it’s someone’s own, personal, literal consciousness and continued sense of ‘self’ by that specific consciousness, it does matter if YOUR consciousness is coming out still attached to the body.

That’s pretty much exactly why I think it’s more about a lesson on how to treat others. Humans fundamentally believe they’re free to choose things, regardless of their religious affiliation. We always tell ourselves we want this and that, and decided x and y, etc. Regardless of the reality of free will, we all think we have it.

The only genuine purpose of saying Free Will is a gift from God I can think of is simply to make the dummies that want to force behavior on others hesitate about stepping on “God’s domain”.

This is about the efficacy of ads and where they really don’t shine, not how to block them.

Yeah, a union would be great, although I feel like that would be something that would have to come quite a ways down the road of ethical devs coming together. After all, not even the FOSS community agrees on what is ethical to give away and to whom.

Maybe a union is still the right term for the abstract ‘coming together’ I’m thinking of, since it’s hard to imagine how they could go from a generic collective to a body that could actually make effective demands, but perhaps it’s roughly the same process as getting a job-wide union off the ground.

Yep! Funny how so many good ideas get ruined by the people that think they deserve the biggest pay checks…

Your ignorance only proves how willfully fucking braindead YOU are.

Congratulations. You’ve played yourself.

Hey, in defense of Jesus, he’s like the singlularly good thing about modern Christians… If only they acted like him, they’d be far more respected.

They’re doing it for control and to remove the anonymity of online accounts. The leaks are just the cost of doing business to them. Discord might not be saving every ID and associating it to the account name/etc, but the NSA/etc definitely is.

Is it stupid to adopt an innocuous name at a time when governments are cracking down on all sorts of things and trying to be faschie again?

“Revolt” doesn’t exactly say, “don’t ‘investigate’ me government, I promise there’s nothing suspicious.”

But what if it’s just a copy of that relation R? Is it the same mind in a new body? Or a new body that’s so utterly similar that it will merely continue on believing it’s the same person?

I don’t like that philosophy, because it pretends the mind exists outside of the brain.

Does the difference of the literally unobservable matter? Yes absolutely to the person stepping in to the machine! Sure, everyone else doesn’t have to care, but the teleported person sure probably should care, so that philosophy does less than nothing for answering the question.

He’s basically saying, 'I don’t care if you die if I cannot tell if the new guy is different.". Saying, “I don’t care” is not an answer.

IMO, even the digitally sent person could be the original, depending on the philosophical concepts being applied (same ship of theseus style questions). If it’s just the process of reading your atoms to that level of detail that makes you disappear, and the only information that is literally ‘you’ is being transferred over and reconstituted in a similarly one-way-by-function process, it’s almost more of a phase shift to digital and back than a copy. Pretty much just side-stepping matter’s inability to travel without acceleration.

If the machine is basically ‘digesting’ the person only to send over the results for reproduction, though… that’s definitely a copy. Pretty sure Trek describes their transporters as the latter? They’re definitely killing a bunch of people in that show. ha Though to answer it with any kind of conclusive result, I’d think we’d need a technical description for how it works, and it cannot exist, so… lol

That’s why the late showers are “wisdom” teeth. Your brain is finally getting big enough to shove 'em out of there.

Y’know, the more I think about free will as a religous concept, the more I’m convinced it’s supposed to be an allegory for how to treat others, like a more convoluted Golden Rule. The source was shifted to “God” simply to make the garbage people that don’t normally care about others hesitate before they just ignore others’ advice on how to treat people.

The reasoning is pretty simple: Nobody can actually do anything they want because others will interfere. Individuals restrict others’ freedom all the time. If you’re restricting others freedoms, you’re doing an even worse version of judging others. The Bible pretty clearly says to leave such critical stuff that idiots can screw up in God’s hands, because idiots can and will screw it up.

Same with free will. Peoples’ freedom is, according to religous teachings, a gift from God. They describe such things as “from God” solely because idiots respect their flavor of Sky Daddy over other human beings.

If it’s actually a gift from God, then it makes little sense that humans can simply remove a gift an all-powerful diety bestows. So… either historic humans are insanely stupid and bad at logic … or it’s actually an allegory for not trying to control others so much.

Not all advertising is equal. Yes, increasing awareness pays off.

That doesn’t mean your product putting a one minute ad up on YouTube that gets pasted in front of a 10 second cat video will have a positive response.

lol so you defend that which you do not even use and that which you do not undertand? What a joke…

My hatred is anything but blind, and you calling it such is sealioning beyond belief. I love your hypocrisy… An Apple user without even using Apple products… Truly, your lot in life is more dreary than you could ever admit.

Agile SHOULD have a lot of the things ‘traditional’ management looks for! Though so many, including many college teachers I’ve heard, think of it way too strictly.

It’s just the time scale shrinks as necessary for specific deliverable goals instead of the whole product… instead of having a design for the whole thing from top to bottom, you start with a good overview and implement general arch to service what load you’ll need. Then you break down the tasks, and solve the problems more and more and yadda yadda…

IMO, the people that think Agile Development means only implement the bare minimum … are part of the complete fucking idiot portion of the industry.

Fuck man, why don’t more ethical-ish devs join to make stuff? What’s the missing link on top of easy sharing like FOSS kinda’ already has?

Obviously programming is a bit niche, but fuck… how can ethical programmers come together to survive under capitalism? Sure, profit sharing and coops aren’t bad, but something of a cultural nexus is missing in this space it feels…
