So garbage in garbage out.

I would suggest they’re more in touch with the science.

How so?

It haunts science, we know we must do it for the benefit of humanity, but with the knowledge - the powerful and capital will use it for themselves.

The solution is not halting technological advancement(especially medical technology) but to try and change our political systems.

A baby (and more people after) not dying is an afterthought to you, you are mostly concerned with a fucking SciFi flick not coming true somehow.

Grow up, seriously.

This tech will save and improve a lot of peoples' lives. It will be also be used frivolously by the rich to 'improve' (or actually fuck up) themselves just like they use current medical tech. Meanwhile some poorer people that need it to survive will be denied it.

These are political issues, long existing, not problems with this medical development.

but there is no compromise possible between „a national flag" and „no national flag". And there is probably no right or wrong.

Yes there is. Allow flags of persecuted nationalities, ban flags of nations commiting genocide, do whatever you want with the rest.

Of course since their nationality is not threatened it us easy for them to take this "nationality bad" enlightened position.

Bombs and cars possibly. Poison with very favorable conditions maybe. Bats and machetes no.

Bomb are illegal, of course you can create bombs with materials legally acquired. Still way more complex than shooting, the Columbine shooters' bombs failed to explode, their guns did not.

Cars can be deadly as well but they have way more important alternative uses to firearms. They also are not as commonly used to attack people as guns where both are readily available.

The cause is not the weapon, yet with firearms the same person would be able to hurt more people.

They are not that cheap compared to just a jet (F-16@70m, F-35@100m) but pilots cost a lot and not just money.

They also must have a much smaller mission cost due to fuel efficiency. Provided they do not get shot down.

It certainly wasn't designed to survive against serious opposition and I doubt mere countermeasures would change that. It would probably increase costs more and would be useless in most missions.

If you can shoot any aircraft at a given attitude you can shoot this type of drone. It's not fast, has no stealthy design and its not even small like some other drones.

This is a Linux community not a professional art/design community.

I figure that since proprietary software developers use copyright to stop us from sharing, we cooperators can use copyright to give other cooperators an advantage of their own: they can use our code.

Yes but the spirit of FOSS is clearly anti-copyright and a non copyright world would be preferable.

You don’t get to just do whatever you please with someones work.

The FOSS positions is that you should if you are not preventing that someone doing what he wants as well (or anybody else), which is the case with IP unlike real property.

It's also how the world has worked for millennia, copyright and other IP law is relatively new phenomenon and even in the time it has existed it has not been as well enforced or accepted by society as say the concept of physical property.

AI is a great chance for commercial interests to push pro-copyright positions with a narrative of big bad tech corpos (absolutely true) vs little artist guy (bullshit, it's big bad media corpos). I remember they tried to portray copyright and associated enforcement tooling (DMCA etc) as a solution to revenge porn, to rehabilitate it's image.

She had an 'association'.

Like, maybe the evil lady was at some point a co-worker or a neighbor or said hello to a gang member.

She had an association, ethnicity. That's good enough for the right.

If we absolutely need this work we should pay somebody to do it. Also set up some quality requirements and guarantees of the task being completed.

 

I would like a clarification on whether posting on lemmy.world community from another instance constitutes constitutes 'accessing' or 'using' your website/service and therefore makes me subject to your TOS.

Thanks.
