Aside from false accusations - how about tech monopolies (only beholden to profits/shareholders) being judge, jury and executioner?

I think Brand is a narcissistic prick, but that doesn't mean I don't care how he's treated by even bigger evils.

A few years ago, I read a really comprehensive article about Neuralink on waitbutwhy.com. Mind you, it's long.

But if I recall correctly, the reason why needles rather than scanning is precision, speed and 2 two-way communication. Needles is a more risky and invasive procedure, but it does allow near instant communication, at the precise neurons you want to target, and it allows to override the signal.

In some cases of paralysis, the signal to move a muscle might be there, but it's just to weak to get anything done. By amplifying it, you fix that problem at the source.

True, but the clients are still in their infancy. Liftoff has no support for it as far as I know. Meanwhile, I have the luck of running my own instance, so if the filter fixes it, that would be great.

When I still used Twitter, I was very glad to be able to filter out Trump, otherwise I'd see half a dozen tweets about him per day. We're kinda heading there with removed on Lemmy now, and I really don't even want to spend the mental energy it takes to ignore it.

Edit: meh. Using the slur filter just replaces "removed" with "removed". Time to investigate some other clients I guess.

I only see allegations, no convictions. Remember what happened to Kevin Spacey and Julian Assange?

For what it's worth: I'm not saying he's innocent. But to go from allegation to conviction, you'll need a judge in my book. Not a trial by media.

I only suggest to do your part in down voting clickbait.

What do you mean, wait?

Oh wow. Just like that, Russell is rapist.

I wish Lemmy had keyword filters.

Edit: hmmm... Maybe the slur filter will work. Let's try.

Will you move the community to another server?

[–] admin@lemmy.my-box.dev 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, I find that particularly worrying. For all its decentralisation, there's a lot of eggs in the LemmyWorld basket.

Maybe that's just what the CCP wants you to think though.
