Would they feel any pain or suffering if you shut the simulation down? If not, which seems like the intuitive answer, then it is ethical.

Killing people in a traditional sense is unethical because you inevitably subject them to suffering agony. Also, the killed one won’t be your only victim, as any people related to them would be subjected to psychological trauma.

Whether plugging off simulated consciousnesses is moral is another question tho.

you wouldn’t believe this

also, ubuntu is anything but neat

i’d say it’s just so much easier to be hateful and agressive online, because we communicate primarily through text, thus inherently feeling less empaty. Not to mention that text doesn’t really convey emotionns, so if you hurt someone, you won’t see their reaction, thus won’t feel guilt even if you have a developed sense of empathy.

You started patronizing me about how i “shouldn’t drink calories”, to which i expressed my displeasure through a sarcastic comment, after which explained why i think you’re wrong, to which your only response was “do whatever you want” like i wasn’t allowed to do so before.

Not only your advice is patronizing, unwanted and backed up by nothing, it also isn’t helpful in the first place.

And now you’re acting upset because i haven’t stroked your ego by agreeing with you, or “showing you proper respect”, as if you weren’t the first one to act shitty it the first place.

Get lost.

thanks for the permission, chief

YOU’RE SICK IN THE HEAD!!! YOU… YOU ABSOLUTE PANCAKE!!111

HOW MUCH SUGAR ARE YOU PUTTING IN YOUR TEA!?!?!?

Oh no! Not the 48 calories! In my 0.7 giant fucking mug of tea! My diet is ruined!

Like, seriously?

You understand that most of the beverages are far less calorie-dense than your average snack, meal, or whatever, right? And that our stomach capacity is limited? Once you drink enough of even the sweetest tea, you won’t have the room for anything more dense for some time.

bro doesn’t know how to put sugar in their tea

Shit on “apolitical” people all you want, but i’d certainly prefer them over highly radicalized douchebags. Staying a decent human being should come first, political stance somewhere after.

i guess Nokia n900 kinda feels like a lost technology now, huh?

idk, i kinda think that nokia’s smartphones were peak technology (the og nokia, not what came after with microsoft buying them)

Some of them had linux before it was cool. I also kinda miss the formfactor of a smartphone with a keyboard.

Modern smartphones really lack in variability. Basically now, when choosing between comparable models of diferent vendors, you just choose whether you want qualcom or mediatek soc, and which vendor’s bloat you tolerate more. I really miss all the wacky experiments with formfactors and OSes

Pardon, but some people want to eat shit and watch others do it. Some people still use facebook. I don’t judge them. But won’t be happy if they showed up and told me that i must do it as well.

And those features being what exactly? A small chat window drop-out so your lazy ass won’t need to open an ai chat in a tab? This is absurd.

At least they give you a choice of enabling/disabling that functionality

lmao. That’s how we got Windows as enshittified as it is now.

lmao. You fail to beat the fanboy allegations with this comment. At this point you literally look like the guy from the meme in my eyes.

and again with the misuse of the word “propaganda”, this time topped off with the most basic demagogic manipulation i’ve seen in a while, comparing me to corpos, trying to… What exactly? Is the last paragraph there to make me feel bad? Because it provides no logical counter-argument to what i said. Sorry, but i’m too autistic to be ragebaited.

You’re the one, making claims without supporting them with any proof.

My claim is that firefox gets worse by adding the features nobody asked for, spending time and money for their development, purely out of FOMO of the AI hypetrain, while struggling to implement actually relevant modern technologies such as WebGPU. AI can be a useful instrument, but if i ever want to use it, i’d use specialized tools for that, and look for them at specialized places.

Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.

a quote from Enthony Enzor-Demeo, the current CEO of Firefox.

I like how you treat any rumors you don’t like as propaganda, implying ill intent, as well as call people morons for not trusting yet another corpo.

I personally use firefox for now, because i’m too lazy to set up synchronization between devices myself in an opensource browser.

The fact that they’re slightly better than their competitors is not a reason to fanboy over them and put a blind eye over their slow but steady shift towards enshittification.

except firefox is also part of a problem
