Had they gone the route of open development, modder would have, and had been, developing a lot of functionality for the platform for free. Instead, they slapped Easy Anti-Cheat and…

It's not whether it works, but whom it appeals. Trickle down economics is music to the ears of the rich. Despite people thinking that everyone's vote weigh the same, the rich has m…

I use Nix and NixOS and I didn't even know about this. Unless you want to become a maintainer I don't think it affects you.

Looking at the term "Ikigai" as if it's some sort of dogma or a way to improve one's life sorts of defeats the point. East Asian philosophies are not for achieving "meaning of life…

Go post this to https://discourse.nixos.org/ and see what sort of reaction you get. > nixpkgs - the software collection built by Nix is the largest software repository on the plane…

What is it exactly that you're trying to solve? Are you creating a UI for setting up nix flake configs? What does it do beyond that? And why is it coupled to geospatial tools?

It's maybe hard to fathom for individualists, but it's probably humans that are quite mediocre on average. These AI models simply represent that. And on the value of generative AI,…

Well it was the same with the internet itself. It's prone to hacks, bugs, and outage, and yet today we all use it to manage our finances and make payments.

US companies have been doing the same thing all over the world. Outside the west, everyone can see the hypocrisy. Ban it by all means, but you will become just like China: a state …

I abhor capitalism as much as you do, but economic system and political system are separate although interlinked. Why shouldn't we count Singapore just because it's small? They hav…

Yes but no. You can be capitalist without letting the rich 0.1% control the government. The US is a result of puritanism of the freedom of speech. Citizens United vs Federal Electi…

It's nothing to do with capitalism, it's all about installing regimes that are pro-US, and allow US enterprises to exploit these countries. Indonesia has a lot of resources, includ…

Czechoslovakia didn't have actual communism. It was oppressed by a stalinist Soviet Union. Lenin was nothing like Stalin. People mistake oppression and basically incompetence of th…

These days most americans type like AI bots parroting the propaganda they absorbed from the media. It's the perfect system, populated by serfs toiling for their slavemasters, while…

It would be useful to a Communist society, one that is able to re-distribute wealth amongst the population. Of course, americans find the very word revolting, but that's what count…

I'm not interested to researching into the research of discussions. You're free to disagree if you think discussions aren't best done within a neutral forum, but I expect most peop…

I guess my issue is that IMO these explorations of provocative issues are best done with the least amount of prejudice. When we're clouded by repulsion or other emotional states, w…

I'm not making a factual claim, what sources can I cite, Plato? It's up to us humans to decide whether discussions are better off taking place within a neutral/biased forum.

If you're into eastern philosophies/religions, there is an emphasis on understanding the Ego. Personally I would rather have less rights and be less rich than to see the less-fortu…

Sums up my thoughts! Haven't met many people who can appreciate or at least listen to both point of views, unfortunately.

The participants of discussion may have biases, but the forum shouldn't. This project claims to be promoting a discussion, therefore being the forum rather than a participant. If i…

Thanks for clarifying, you described this project well. In my view taking for granted that the role of AI would be bad/dystopian makes it unsuitable to be called a discussion. Imag…
