  • That rage was why I switched lol. All our work computers are on 11 and they frequently reset so almost every time I log in I get to freshly rage and spend a minute resetting the task bar and default adobe to the pdf reader.

    No Microsoft! I cant use edge as a pdf editor why on earth would you think that.

    AND WHY CANT I MOVE THE TASKBAR














  • I suppose it really depends on figuring out what consciousness really is.

    If we’re talking about pure digital information then nothing is actually moved, it’s just copied and written to a new location. From the perspective of the new mind, continuity would be preserved and it would think it had simply changed places. The old mind (if it survives the scanning/transfer process) would still be outside the simulation and see a new copy of itself in there.

    On the other hand, if consciousness is some kind of understandable phenomena, with even more sci-fi tech we might be able to simply scoop it out and put it somewhere else. In that case it would be the same person.
