I don’t think I have any federation issues (at least directly), but yeah I don’t get replies probably because what I post is too niche. On 3 posts so far at least (~8 upvotes each) in 3 different communities.
Well, looking back most anything I post is probably doomed this way no matter the instance, unless maybe it’s something more general or eye-catching on a bigger community.
Me, haunting those responsible for the wording:
not a cyborg.
For a practical test, search for kbin.social (and then ctrl+f for it also to get the direct results). Or, just look at a community: !kbinMeta@kbin.social
The only thing that appears missing is the avatars images. Though I assume the text content is doomed in the long-run when it comes to new instances, as I doubt re-federation (3rd-party federation) is a thing. Unless of course, someone manually crossposts said content.
I feel it’s more true for Nim-lang. No dealing with pointers (it’s possible, just not a normal thing like int**, Nim has newer memory management options like arc/orc). There’s also stuff like for i in 0 .. 9 (and ranges like that have more options/uses too)**
I mean I guess there is overlap (both languages have UFCS and interop). So it might come down to syntax or specific implementation. Though I imagine for those who like the braces style, there are other options to look at like Zig (or Rust, there is complexity but also popularity).
I know there is some difficulty when it comes to a language being niche (at least when lacking knowledge), and that’s certainly my experience with Nim.

** I guess D does have this as foreach (i; 0 .. 3), though not quite the same
You use AI to code for you.
I alone use the wrong type of hammer to slowly and frustratedly get very basic tasks accomplished once every season if I’m lucky…
we are not the same.
All I can think here is
On the other hand: anything anti-consumer like this (like bricking game consoles) has potential to backfire in a myriad of ways when the inevitable exploits are found.
Ransomware customers, target people you don’t like (perhaps even by employees), or simply brick devices to cause returns and/or drive up customer support costs, or just cause a scandal to tarnish the brand itself (or force recalls/end of sales in places that actually have consumer protections). EDIT: Also imagine a dealership where no truck can even be driven off the lot, especially if they all need something like the computer to be fixed/replaced.
The closer to a real brick it is (rather than just a soft lockout), the more potential there is for disaster. Also it reinforces exactly the sentiment that’d cause people to look for said exploits.
On paper sure they are villages, but I think a US village and one from elsewhere would likely feel drastically different. Lacking actual community (see Bowling Alone), or just look at all of the things that the village lost (shops, train station, industry etc) and what it still has(franchise dollar store, gas station etc).
It could just be coincidence, though “retirement village” is a term (also ecovillages) so maybe not. Aside from decay, I’d imagine the common perspective of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it (unless you stop for gas/maybe breakfast) probably doesn’t help with image either.
They mean live vs just existing.
Similar here. I rarely dream (and typically not very vividly even when so). It could be because my sleep quality is poor (sleep stages likely impacted due to autonomic issues, and it’s possible that I need something like CPAP) then again I also have aphantasia.
The opposite*: “I remember as a child: I used to sleep. … But not anymore. In fact, I don’t even dream. What am I talking about‽ I don’t even sleep!”

Neither, I want to have my brain scan put into a robot and live forever
I will never be convinced that isn’t a copy. Grod-dang emdot-tu drives don’t have thoughts, Michael!
Now getting a brain case to be put into other bodies? Sure. Though I would immediately be unrecognizable as a human, not because I’d become some cyberbrute but because I’d be something more like Wall-E(/an ROV) or at times some monolith in a forest tied into the Myconet.
Maybe humanoid arms, maybe eyes that aren’t cameras, but other than that I’m not sure. Maybe living gel (that assists with homeostasis, bioreaction) though that wouldn’t be obviously human either. It might be the most obvious just when I’m doing some hobby-esque things, or making a mistake and immediately being aware of it.
where no one knows you personally, and you don’t even know anything in the future
That’s my life already. So I guess it should be me, maybe they can fix my health and maybe I could live more comfortably+freely and learn a little more. Some symbiotic cyborg tech would be nice too, but maybe happy/purposeful revival is already a stretch.
I don’t see the jump from “I have problems socializing/functioning” to “I am special/nobody else has these problems”. I mentioned the first comment because
thanks for letting me try with you
seems like a fairly healthy/wholesome expressed thought.
Also yeah maybe both users are just-a-bit-on-the-spectrum and they probably know it. Does that change something, are they too common to express themselves? Shut up and get better or that’s-a-you-problem?
???
This is an odd sticking point (same with another comment), it doesn’t even seem relevant to either thought (especially the first) other than it being asserted already by the inclusion of the comic.
Maybe not-special is true or maybe differences can brushed aside, but either way these thoughts are likely conclusions from their lived experiences and even a nice interpretation of the comic seems more like a cold comfort that doesn’t change much going forward. It probably has more impact if someone does live in/near a big city (particularly a place like Portland), but that is a bit of a leap to assume.
Side 1, pointing at brain: Ah, see there’s something wrong with the firmware here, or maybe it’s a hardware issue. Unclear if it’s even an error (it may serve some purpose), but it does negatively impact living. Made even worse by recall-worthy issues outside of the brain.
Side 2: Despite (or perhaps because of) my shortcomings I am very human, I know I am just another multi-cellular organism. But it does not matter. Nothing valued is here, I cannot go elsewhere.
Side 3: Yeah, I lack public transportation or things that come with it (I’m in a sparse area).
I made this for a comment (about small-data images, jpegs) days ago:
I feel like if it’s not every day+not a money issue+well below combustion+not putting a significant risk on others (driving) then it’s probably not too bad.
Having usage that is less instant, less portable, less potent, less common, or more variable may help too (ritual, not habit). Also if your stuff is low-quality (cheap/free) you probably won’t worry so much about wasting it if you let it sit.
Or maybe that’s a cope from me in a similar spot. Though either way things are not changing for the better for me, aside from maybe the small (mostly sustaining) steps I’m still doing.
This would require both the air and surface to be free of dust. Maybe in a lab that could be true, but probably not in the real world.
