Government, police, large enterprises (Airbus, Merck, Ferrari, JP Morgan chase Bank are all customers)

from what I’ve heard, the moment anyone gets access to Palantir they instantly look up everyone they know.

are you looking for engagement or an archive?

If it’s engagement, and you want the most engagement - then reddit, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, tiktok, youtube.

If you have a moral objection to those then pick a federated or independent alternative like Lemmy, Bluesky, Pixelfed etc

if it’s just to archive them then build a simple WordPress blog which you can choose your provider or self-host. Or just back them up in a 321 method of your choice.

making a decision and having an opinion is not rude. And actually, often people are glad that you’ve removed the mental labor and discussion.

How is this a hard concept? You still have to be a pilot, you just can’t have a policy - tacit or explicit - of only hiring white men.

Couldn’t you have gone with the idea that it’s “taking jobs from white men?” Then I could point out that there isn’t a limited pool of specific unemployed people you have to pick from, and that even if you give a job to a white man it’s still taking a job from a different white man?

I read up on all the real life characters when I finished the show. Apparently the show did him kinda dirty, he was a bit of an intellectual in real life.

we understand the value of resources now, just in your example the availability and the macro-economics of what a resource is changes.

Crude oil existed for millions of years, but wasn’t a resource until it could be refined. Salt used to be a premium resource, and now is considered a basic one.

So you mean “will gradually readjust to the new value of new reources”

Also, we don’t have “total control” over anything now. Crimes go unreported, unprosecuted, unsolved, rebellion and revolution happens across the globe, protests happen, democracy happens.

You can also choose to start an autonomous community if you want right now - just that most people actually want sewers and toilets and hygiene and warm water and transport and food variety. But if you don’t- you can just go live in the forest.

Then you pivot to saying “I’m being sarcastic - it wouldn’t be a utopia because we wouldn’t have AI”

AI is just matrix math on byte encoding. Just like life was pretty good in 1985 before the internet was popularized and marketed, this one tech product does not drastically affect society.

I would also contend that society isn’t drastically different post-internet. It’s the media of the message that changed, but human communication and structure is still roughly similar to most post-WW2 standards.

the term is “agreedian” - a comedian who says things you agree with, not ones that are funny.

or twice as insane!

You have a mental health issue that no one on here can solve.

I say this because I spent years in the same place, on the edge of ending my own life. I had a pact with myself that I wouldn’t let myself live another 10 years. That was 12 years ago.

You are depressed. But you can make progress. All of the things that everyone says are the ways out of depression do work - they just don’t work overnight, and they don’t all work all the time - sometimes it’s medication, sometimes it’s quitting booze, sometimes it’s sleeping 8 hours. Sometimes it’s none for a little while and things are bad. It’s a process. But eventually you make progress.

Wishing the best for you.

Autism is stored in the hat

Brit here. It was .5 miles to my primary school and .8 miles to my secondary school, and I walked it every day from age 5 to age 16.

from the depths of my memory, once you got a complex enough BASIC project you were doing enough PEEKs and POKEs to just be writing assembly anyway

Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba and - in the short term - a bunch of Native American tribespeople have also beaten the USA army

well 9/11 was an inside job

if you can’t tell from my username. I am also a bassist.

I’ve been getting into some transcription groups of FB. That might be a good community here? I get bored real quick of photos of pedal boards, ampeg/orange stacks, Rickenbackers and alcoholism memes

it’s like the Team Fortress coconut.jpg

ah, you are right. I take it back.
