Also, a point I don't see others mentioning, is religious people often tend to have more children, and whilst religion isn't actually hereditary, children often do have more likelihood to follow the same religion as their parents, the population is likely to tend to more extremist religious people, unless the rate of conversion away from those religions drastically increases.
I'm not talking about converting new believers from outside, I'm talking about children inheriting the religion of their parents. And yes, in the places where religion has spread, only a small percentage of the population wasn't religious, and it's a relatively recent thing that a significant fraction of society isn't religious.
Isn't its whole thing short form content? I don't use it, but it's funny seeing YouTube copying TikTok with YouTube shorts, and now the tables are supposedly turning.
I don't get why publishers get paid either by the researchers or the users, when their service is minimal compared to the researchers or peer reviewers, who don't get paid at all.
Are you also against copyright infringement when it's piracy? Because I'm not, so it would be inconsistent to judge open source generative AI models for doing something I don't consider wrong.
On Tuesday at Google I/O 2024, Google announced Veo, a new AI video-synthesis model that can create HD videos from text, image, or video prompts, similar to OpenAI's Sora. It can generate 1080p videos lasting over a minute and edit videos from written instructions, but it has not yet been released for broad use.
That means not open, right? I'm only interested once the first good opens Circe video generator is released, more closed source ones aren't interesting, once I heard about the first.
There are lots of Alternatives: Apple iWork, which includes Apple Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. Google Docs, Slides, Sheets. LibreOffice Writer, Calc, Base, and Impress.
Not only are those rules not ideal, the whole book being about when the rules go wrong, it is also impossible to programming bots with rules written in natural language.
Olives - at least as you usually buy them, in brine, often with pepper strips in them - I find delicious. But every person has their own tastes, you can't argue with subjective preferences.
This isn't me asking for help or anything, I already replaced it with fedora kinoite. I just felt like talking about this ridiculous venture of mine....
I'm disappointed so many people disagree with this. Yes, now they're blocking opinions you don't like, but if they choose to block opinions you agree with, I doubt they'd continue whistling the same tune.
Well, that would eliminate all suffering without replacing it with more suffering - it would be an instant painless death for all life - so it can't be all bad
Edit: sadly, Auto Tab Discard did not fix my issue. Firefox is also set to block audio (including video with audio to my understanding) by default, which I never changed so I don't think that helps with this issue either....
The new open ecosystem of extensions on Firefox for Android launched in December with just over 400 extensions. Less than five months later we’ve surpassed 1,000 Firefox for Android extensions.

I recently installed Linux mint ane was unpleasantly surprised that it is virtually impossible on every desktop environment, as opposed to Ubuntu on which it required very little.
Sure, we'll have to get over that in the short term - all countries that is, not just China - but in the long term, population degrowth is actually a good thing. It means humans will be less bad for the environment, we will each have more individual worth in terms of things like voting, and more resources will be available for each individual.
Have no idea what it is about, other than being decentralised. Some basic search results suggests that its a sham, scam and riddled with crypto ideas. Or is it apart of something noteworthy? Geuinly curious what the general consensus is of the Web3.
The DNS system is inherently centralised, so is IP address assignment. In both cases you have to got through a centralised agency or their intermediaries.

A bit of a weird question: Can modern medicine be a threat to humanity long-term by greatly reducing effects of natural selection?
OK, I hope my question doesn't get misunderstood, I can see how that could happen....
