The answer is 2.

Cling to known humans who write their own code.

Snake oil salesmen always encourage the public to bet against the experts, with predictable results.

Someday ethically sourced AI can be used responsibly by trustworthy coders.

But the key is choosing to collaborate with trustworthy coders.

Does anyone have any clue?

My best guess would be some relatively passive notification stealing focus.

As reddeadhead mentioned, there’s specific “don’t steal focus” settings. I’ve had good luck with them.

I used to always use Minecraft for this. Sure, they can’t do everything immediately, but I put the game on peaceful and let them explore at their own pace.

I say “used to” because Luanti (formerly MineTest, an open source Minecraft Clone*) is finished and free.

(Okay, Luanti is a lot more than a Minecraft clone. But for this discussion that’s all one needs to know.)

Nice. Minecraft used to be my go to answer for a first WASD game, too.

Lately, I recommend Mineclonia on Luanti, because it’s free and has stronger optimizations supporting weak laptops and big multiplayer servers. (It’s a popular Free Open Source Minecraft Clone).

Well the baker, knowing that everyone has twice as much money, puts his prices up because he knows the market can bear it. That’s the way I reason it.

The good news is this simply doesn’t happen (in civilized modern countries).

People with more money don’t buy twice as much bread, they buy other things.

The bread maker is still competing with milk producers and video game makers and artists.

You can read about price elasticity for more details (and to not just take my word for it.)

Highly inelastic goods (water, transportation, eggs) are the most likely to have runaway price increases.

But civilized countries already have public options to supply these items at cost :public water, public transport, food stamps.

This means we already have the necessary buffers against any impact by UBI. Any provider of an inelastic good who raises their price too far loses business to the public option.

Schwinn and Ferrari will all see slightly more sales with UBI as a few people use their additional income to purchase a bicycle or a supercar, but the bus lines must still run to keep them honest.

The risk is minimal because we already know what public consumption of these goods looks like, when they’re free or heavily subsidized, in each civilized country.

I remember those days, as well!

I bought a “fixer-upper” recently, so I fill most days off with minor home repair projects. I’m using it as an excuse to build a decent little project workbench, though.

Just so you know, this isn’t Reddit. You’ve just been blocked by everyone reading along here.

If you start to feel like no one replies here, it’s actually you, in this case. It could help to try again with a new account.

Sure some people might say hi back but that doesn’t mean they’re a friend.

True. But I’ve had some great friendships grow after years of just “hi” in passing. We weren’t friends yet, but we were destined to become friends.

I’m with you.

Thankfully, corporate bullahit isn’t the only way to create a discovery algorithm.

I expect that we will have a diverse set of discovery algorithms available to opt into here, in a few years.

Thanks!

Jeff Bezos never smashed the window on my car to steal my speakers,

True.

he doesnt come out vandalising public transport or parks and he isnt the reason my wife doesnt feel safe walking around at night.

If we could even comprehend the scale of his unpaid taxes, or their impact on our parks, we might discuss this at length…

Is also very very queer tho JSYK

That could be our new Lemmy slogan.

There’s a couple of them, I think.

I found this one:

Thanks!

The surprisingly deep copy of Balatro in “Dave the Diver” is pretty good.

“The Mandalorian” is fantastic space western, and worth watching for what it is, if you can ignore the Star Wars connection.

It might tempt you to also watch “Boba Fett”, which does not stand in it’s own at all, but does weirdly contain a couple of good enough bonus episode of “The Mandalorian” for marketing reasons.

Did I miss something, or is a 12 year old in France now in (indefinite?) police custody for being curious online?

Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..

I’m sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)

Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be buying one at the first opportunity.

My other action figures are going to have to stand in the shadow of the glory of “it’s just Jack Black, I guess”.

(No sarcasm. I’m really going to buy this. I love the idea of Jack Black just playing “Jack Black”.)
