Yeah sure you can do that but people won’t listen. What I mean by thought police is actually doing policing, like “no you can’t say that or we will arrest you” which goes against the idea of freedom of speech. It’s reminiscent of when ussr was jailing karate teachers

Yeah you can’t do a thought police

Yeah, the situation got resolved when harm came in. You gotta commit an actual crime to be punished right? I’m familiar with the documentary and actually have friends who continue to be followers of Osho’s teachings. It’s not all bad, there was a lot of very good outcomes for some people’s health and wellness there too, the documentary frames it as a situation where the second in command basically drugged him and became an egomaniac. Shit happens. When evaluating cults, which are basically just small religions, the best criteria is about how much they help their constituents and community vs how much do they demand from them. It’s worth noting that many of the cults of America’s past were more Christian branded and became gigantic, with some mix of outcomes. But the alternative of not allowing people to express the freedoms of religion and speech would be much worse in my opinion

We don’t, that’s what freedom of religion means. If it gets overly militant or political, then there are already mechanisms that come and raid and disband them, which we have seen many times in the history of America

What the fuck this is the best idea ever

Damn sounds like it’s time to trade up to a rivian

He stopped that nonsense

What a tragedy of modern civilization. He wasn’t hurting anyone, he was just enjoying his Sunday, exercising his personal expression as an artist: walking around naked high on drugs in traffic. How dare the cops try to interfere with this, this is democracy manifest GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS SIR

Some of those crystal doms are real good, hot wax, rope, the whole bit. All my mommy issues were resolved in 6 sessions

Seems to be 100% Lemmy content

Great read, thanks RSS Bot! This is a fair and nuanced take, and seems to suggest that senior devs aren’t sped up, especially in big open source projects where they have years of domain expertise. But for small and new repos, less experienced devs, and well designed plans - it’s still probably a net win

Seems like “who cares” if PNG can’t keep up with formats like webp and webm in terms of size

Waymo is really premium and more like getting an Uber Black, probably better. You get to talk shit with your friends as loud as you want, play your own music, and there’s no pressure about anything. You know exactly how long it’ll wait. What it feels like is those movies where the rich guy has a private driver with a privacy screen like a limo. The overall standard of the vehicles is very high, clean, and safe feeling

That’s so cool, maybe the first time in the history of humanity that we see open source tax software, that’s guaranteed to be accurate to the law. For one year at least

It runs Scala / Java, and has docker configs, decent documentation. And an ominous message explaining that some parts were too secret to open source so they had to rewrite chunks of it. Overall, it seems like it was a big project just to get this published, and I am impressed they managed it, given the software team was comprised of 3 different agencies and several contractor firms

I think for those that wanted Teslas, they realized they have to buy them before the tariff war gets too hot. So ironically there’s a surge of purchases

Ideology aside, they make some very good cars, and I don’t blame people for buying them

Haha thanks, that was fun

Don’t worry, as agents are on the rise, LLMs are learning iterative testing & tool use. I just published a new MCP tool for Cline which uses WolframAlpha to solve maths and other knowledge. It works great, and Cline can iterate to try different variants of prompts it sends to Wolfram if the syntax isn’t quite right. Then it ingests the result into context and can continue with the knowledge it gained

Jesus, my very gentle post was “Removed by mod”? Even though it has 6 upvotes and 1 downvote? Okay

Ok, here’s the definition of capitalism, plain and simple:

Capitalism is an economic system where private individuals and businesses own the factors of production, and prices and production are determined by supply and demand.

Characteristics of capitalism

• Private ownership: Private individuals and businesses own the means of production, such as capital goods.
• Free market: Prices and production are determined by supply and demand in a free market.
• Profit motive: The primary motivation is to make a profit.
• Market competition: Businesses compete with each other for business.
• Private control: Private individuals and businesses control the production and consumption of goods and services.

I want my time back, RSS Bot. OP thinks hardware lasts a long time these days but actually does buy new stuff when it breaks. Tldr
