Do comment deletions not get federated on lemmy or what? This is not the first time I commented something, regretted it almost instantly and deleted it, and the received replies several hours later.

I wonder if he would have changed anything in his writing had he known the damage he was about to unleash. Reminds me of the Ricky Gervais bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CINep9Gqhk

What’s Plex’s use case? Why not just mpv locally?

Perhaps they can use Lily Allen’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFE6qQ3ySXE – she’s from UK but oh well

It’s a joke.

A rather bad joke, imho. I think “when they go low, we go high” is a good ideal. … however you want to interpret that phrase.

Sure, cooperation is clearly an evolutionary trait also, and seems like a much more useful one than greed. It seems that socities need a bit of both to thrive, or do you have examples of known societies that worked primarily on co-operation, even for the leaders?

It doesn’t reward greed, it rewards putting your resources into profitable endeavors. This is something you need to do in 100% communism as well, if you wish success.

Why are we selfish? Some sort of a mistake of evolution perhaps.

The relationship between actual 1930s nazis and the arab world was kind of complex for obvious geopolitical reasons, but Palestinians pretty much generally denounced nazis. Also back when it might’ve been good strategy not to.

I stand corrected. I guess some people do think we’re there.

Personally, I don’t think we’re close yet, but there could exist a better system where we’d at least be closer.

More like post-scarcity. I don’t think even the wildest leftist thinks we’re quite there yet.

Be a normal person around them without trying anything. If they like you, you’ll notice it.

… usually randomly 5 years afterward.

Yeah, the last 6 months has really shown what Libertarians are made of. Fucking disgusting hypocrites.

I’m not encrypting my stuff because of people who can legally punch me in the face if I don’t comply. I’m encrypting them against some dude who steals my backpack when I’m commuting.

I’m not saying that all authorities are great but if your biggest risk is your local authorities, you need to change something in your life. Possibly your place of residency.

Fine point. Irony as a default mode of conversation is toxic. Apologies.

Ditto for me for most things here. Fun fact also is that I was initially motivated to buy the car for environmental reasons and so that fascist Russia wouldn’t benefit from me buying and burning gasoline.

I bought it used so technically Musk didn’t get money from me. And by keeping and driving it, he keeps not getting money from me (unless something breaks that needs parts, I guess).

Great car, weird CEO. If his recent successes continue, perhaps he’ll off himself or something. Or perhaps the shareholders will finally grow a spine and boot him instead of giving him billions.

So instead of just risking anti-Musk people burning the car, you will now also have the pro-Musk people who might burn your car.
