Thanks for the sources, I find this one particularly interesting. I’ll need to look into it more carefully, since we already know there’s a great deal of manipulation around this issue.

Edit: tl;dr: “we have extremely hard evidence that the Chinese authorities are putting people in prison for breaking the law”.

I’d say I can do it on purpose, but not always.

Well, I can trigger a similar response by contracting specific muscles. The feeling is pretty similar, but it typically starts in the upper back and goes up to the scalp, not the opposite.

Translation for non-Basque speaking lemmings:

“The oldest Basconic-language writing has been found in Navarre, from the I. century b.C.: ‘sorioneku’”

“Researchers from the Arantzadi scientific association have found the ‘Irulegi hand’, in Aranguren: it’s shaped like a right hand, made of bronze, and contains a four-line inscription. The first word directly ties it with today’s Basque: sorioneku.”

sorioneku (inscription) = zorioneko (Basque) = “lucky”

Well, I read this by IBM, it’s mostly aimed at learning how to use their products, but I think it does a really good job at that.

If I find bugs that affect me or want to add features, I can tackle that myself and send them the patches. I’ve already done this to great extent with LibreOffice and Avogadro 2, plus some small contributions to other programs.

Think of dark humor as a risk-benefit thing. Not all dark humor is equally risky, some jokes are harmless, while others can really hurt people out there. You can ruin someone’s day so easily. I hope this doesn’t discourage you from posting though, just please be nicer to your peers here :)

I know a few friends that unfortunately suffered this. They are now in very bad mental health and have issues with intimacy, socializing and whatnot. I’d say this post is distasteful at best…

Good answer, thanks! Very informative!

Metaphysically, shape (color comes from the shape of molecules). Epistemologically, color (shape is perceived as the arrangement of colors).

Interesting read. But it seems to assume more intelligence increases similarity to humans, which is especially not true about systems with very specialized skills.

You can chill a bit with the nice people here, no need to spark debate.

No worries, at this stage it’s mostly CAD designs that are slowing me down…

Well, I hope to finish it as soon as possible. Unfortunately I’ve made very little progress this summer… My goal it synthesize proteins and DNA, which would make research much cheaper.

You can look at the modlog to what posts have been removed and why. I routinely disagree with Lemmy* users from the entire political spectrum, as I find it more important to offer good arguments than to suit my views on anything. Anyway, you’re welcome to co-moderate with me if I can trust you won’t do any of the things you mention a mod could end up doing ;)

Don’t worry. As stated in the rules, no posts will be removed over politics, and I will not personally intervene for anything not stated in the rules. I’ve made the community on Lemmy so people from many instances can post there and feel safe. I believe it’ll be beneficial for all communities to have an environment to just share well-informed knowledge rather than attack each other :)

Yeah, although I’ve realized I enjoy the meal more if I don’t.

Made me laugh, nice. But as I said before, this unhealthy friction between instances is pointless.

Most non-fictional stories, especially those regarding finances…

There are fully FOSS translation projects, like Argos Translate.
