@Natanox@pesekcuy@vidister@lanodan@newt I'm guessing at some point it figured out it's spending too much money on treating people who damaged their hearing by listening to music too loud.
Or it found a study saying how headphones mess with peoples' perception of volume, such that people are unable to notice they've set it too loud before damaging their hearing.
@lanodan@vidister@newt until your computer's ground is capacitively coupled to 115V AC (half of mains) and your signal cable's shield is the only thing connecting it to actual ground...
(had that happen with a raspi and a USB cable, to the point the USB device would keep disconecting...)
@lonestarr oh, looks like I don't see the poa.st part of the thread here.
I think if I had BowsacNoodle's view on the topic, I would've said "Yes, it sucks to be a Haitian. Still, I'm not going to sacrifice <X/Y/Z> to make a Haitian's life suck less."
@lonestarr @Arty24@poa.st @BowsacNoodle@poa.st i thought empathy is just the ability to imagine what other people are feeling. Whether you feel bad for them being bad (sympathy) or feel good for them feeling bad (spite / trolling) is another thing.
@nullenvk I tried that with pipewire and it kinda works but I don't understand pipewire enough to make it reliable / non-fiddly / make it do all the things i want.
So maybe doing that with sndiod would be a better idea... it's from BSD right? So at least the code should be readable...
@Suiseiseki there key thing avout neighbourly sharing is that you can name each of your neighbours. If you share something with every rando on the internet who searches for it then it's not neighbourly sharing anymore.
I think Internet Archive and other libraries should be allowed to also lend digital copies.
(I also think AI companies should be required to get licenses for every text they scrape)
But the law and its interpretation isn't always what we'd like, and that's a risk IA should've taken into account. And I think it was reckless of them to endanger their primary goal of digital preservation by doing the righteous-but-risky ebook lending.
@p it's interested in people feeling happy, but it doesn't care if it's achieved by satisfying people's goals and following their will, or through other means
