Our mission is to ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. An Internet that truly puts people first, where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent.
I would say that is a better mission than just promoting "free communication". There's more nuance to this situation than that
A downside to a statement like this would be the 'crying wolf' effect. If that message pops up on information they know to be true, where it's being shared because it is important or relevant, then people are less likely to care.
A neutral message would help prevent that
Sure, and I went through the video looking for some nuanced explanation of the technology, the risks, and what safeguards were being put in place. Unfortunately, I didn't see any, and the cheerful music throughout the video seems to be promoting the content more than anything else.
I find that there are other engineering channels that discuss technologies while focussing on the technology itself, both the good and the bad. I'm not opposed to such content being accessible to children, but the way this video goes about it did not sit right with me
While I'm not linking to an external article, I'm hoping that my write-up within the post can still fit with the intent of this community :)
Maybe I've watched too much Black Mirror, but this video felt too similar to the tech demos at the start of a sci-fi thriller. In fact, it made me think of the Slaughterbots short film from 2017.
Two relevant points from that video:
The person in the tech demo for the drones also uses language such as "bad guys"
The address at the end:
This short film is more than just speculation. It shows the results of integrating and miniaturizing technologies that we already have. I'm Stuart Russell, a professor of computer science at Berkeley. I've worked in AI for more than 35 years. It's potential to benefit humanity is enormous, even in defense. But allowing machines to choose to kill humans will be devastating to our security and freedom. Thousands of my fellow researchers agree we have an opportunity to prevent the future you just saw, but the window to act is closing fast.
I fixed it, but the point still stands.
For some people, dropping subreddits slowly is how they get out of the daily habit and eventually move somewhere better.
Would you consider making something for deleting past content? I was talking to someone recently about how they want to remove most of the old content, but they want to leave up certain things. That feels somewhat similar to the actions they would take here, so it might be a cool feature to have. Maybe even "see what subreddits I've posted in, and pick what to delete"
Also, would you care to add your Lemmy and other fediverse accounts to your website? ;)
Not everyone ~~can~~ wants to, and so not everyone will.
I'm not hating on a tool that might help some people drop the subreddits they no longer care for. People will have different paths for how they improve their digital lives
Description: twitter with no timeline, no likes, no retweets, no buttons, nothing. just the tweets.
Notes: i made this because i wanna see tweets people link, but i don't want an account, but i have to create one to see them.
Looks cool, going to give it a try
They're still used in a lot of places from what I can tell. Healthcare settings for example, where the reception staff might not know what info is or isn't sensitive.
Write down the message, note the patients file number, and then give it to the recipient when they are available. They can call back to discuss the details.
In their defence, the article itself mentioned that same problem. I think it's ok to mention a problem with a system, while being within that system.
Also this is the wrong community for this
For anyone trying this out, please also take precautions and use boiled/sterile/distilled water
