It isnt pseudoscience, theres some papers out there on locked in syndrome and they have a system that is very good at reading thoughts with something like 75-85% accuracy. Requires very sophisticated and large equipment to use though, and it has to be trained on each person individually (through things like yes/no answers with blinks or focusing on saying one word, so its not some sort of thing that can just be automatically done, it requires a great deal of consent and concentration on part of the staff and the patient). Its very possible this could be downsized and made more available in the decades to come, its still in the early phases.

knowing starmer im sure he was just thinking of cases where people have the cervix removed for cancer or something

lemmy, im a content piggy. make more content for me to stare at blankly. thanks

everyone is a sap for beta testing a game for 8 years, lmao

Marxism isnt a orthodoxy that needs to be followed like a religion, im not going to judge the protest actions of others if it serves to protest a ongoing genocide being comitted by that persons government.

You absolutely should be against chain suicides, like any good person is.

Firstly, cool. That doesnt change anything about how much you’re smugging over a dead person rather than allowing it to inspire.

Because it shouldn’t be copied, by anyone. There were many dozens of people that did this during Vietnam, of similar ages. Did that cause America to stop? No. None of the protesting did. Military defeat at the hands of Vietnamese communists did.

‘Inspiration’ and nonsense does not make a change in the world. All it does is add another sad headline, of which there are plenty to be had.

Says who? You?

Material reality. People have done this before for a myriad of causes. Does it stop empire? No. Lenin never said ‘go kill yourself it totally will change everything’.

The people detracting this as ‘nothing’ are clearly so comfy in there own situations they cant imagine any action, nevermind a strong one like this having an impact.

I run a homeless shelter. Thats at least one thing you could do that is far better than killing yourself for a cause. In fact, anything is better.

Its not smug. I’m a communist and its just one less person that agrees with us and can help people. Did Bushnell doing this do anything? No.

I was sketched out by their move to get rid of inactive free accounts, but this is nice to see. Really hate the idea that if I’m unplugged just for a bit I lose a ton of contacts.

i call on joe biden to stop doing genocide

AI actually can be very good at translating things locally while keeping tone and intent, and thats what mozilla mentions here. I’m fully down with AI powered local translation tools native to firefox, it’ll put it way above the competition

Some LLMs are low enough in resource usage to do this on weak and older PCs

ROC is ‘Republic of China’. That means they think they are Chinese. USE YOUR BRAIN

fuck off cissie

note from the op

Note: some comments got cut out because the server doesn’t like displaying more than 300 from what I can tell. I did my best with what it would show, I just sorted them by new. This should be fairly representative of the currently active userbase. As an aside, I believe we did a similar survey a looong time ago, and we had only 33% of the active userbase as trans.

taiwan is literally chinese, they say they are china. stop inserting your opinion on geopolitics when you havent even read the country’s wikipedia page. can you even point it out on a map?

i feel like if youre putting it on an old thing, you wanna go super small in order to keep up with new software demands. Damn small linux, puppy linux are the way to go

i still have an early 90s desktop that i have running that i mostly use to look at pdfs while im cooking, lol

theres a lot of other places reporting on this, and a scientific paper in nature. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-02/breakthrough-in-diabetes-treatment-research/103278156

China doesn’t allow “sissy boys” on TV.

one of the largest tv shows in china is ran by a trans woman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jin_Xing

Nobody with half a heart likes you, and nobody with half a brain thinks you want anything for me other than to be thrown in a gulag for being a degenerate and an anti-revolutionary (an nb who doesn’t want to be murdered or conversion therapy’d)

i think you’re projecting and are just full of hatred. i am in an extremely loving polycule and my job is running a community ran homeless shelter for queer people, which is honestly just a dream job for me. all i feel is love, all you spout is hate 🤷‍♀️ hope you figure your shit out

the west punishes queer people just as much as russia in many places. china is basically neutral, though the largest cities, particularly shanghai, have a lot of trans resources. communists support progressive historical forces, you cannot have progress under imperialism, and many right wing and queerphobic countries are in a struggle against imperialism, of which often imposed these queerphobic ideas on them. i assume you’re an anarchist and trans, right? you need to get your head out of your ass and stop attacking other trans people that agree with you on 99.9% of things.

Hexbear users don’t think any differently, in fact they’re worse than average, they just don’t say that part out loud.

this is just fucking absurd. straight up lies.
