Minimalist necromancy.

Disappointed that this comic isn’t older and I can’t binge read it :( But I’m eager to read the rest!

I feel like we’re skipping steps… This kind of tech is incredible and has huge potential. But it needs vast amount of energy and we’re making the planet uninhabitable by the minute. If we first developed tech to have clean energy, I would be overjoyed. Here I feel mostly dread.

Ah dang. :( Thanks for the heads up, I thought I found something nice…

I switched to Deezer!

You’re right that the comic wasn’t targetting specific modifications, just ‘GMO’ as if it was bad in itself.

Well… depends on the GMO. Copyrighted Monsanto “terminator” seeds that sprout sterile crop is a big no-no in my book.

There’s also a “simple english” Wikipedia: simple.wikipedia.org

Dang, in which country are you talking about Liège in elementary school?

Ooh, whoosh on me. Thanks!

I do it all the time :'( But if it’s an important subject or if someone asks for a serious answer, I’m always frank

E: also, isn’t Machiavellianism “the ends justify the means”; aren’t you thinking of narcissism?

The argument I have seen is that other animals share some needs with humans, but not all. All animals don’t have the same social behavior, and so they don’t have the same social needs. We know that humans have a perception of reality different from any other animal, like projecting oneself far into the future etc. I think it’s not far-fetch that all beings don’t share the same physical, psychological, and social needs.

I’d like to emphasize that humans wouldn’t have more needs than other animals, just different ones.

So the question is: if the animals’ needs are met, could they be happier if we gave them opportunities that satisfy human needs? Or is that projecting a human perception onto another being that’s just different?

But the same argument was probably made by white people towards slaves: “they don’t have the same needs than us”. We know that slaves did have the same needs. Maybe something similar could happen with our perception of animals’ needs?

In Belgian French it’s 70, and in French² it’s 1000

Quantum electrodynamics in a nutshell

Well, if they tell the truth then it’s fine. But no way to know what they do with this redirect (to my knowledge at least).

And they reported that it was to gather the referral when going to websites, which constitutes their income. But it’s closed source so we don’t know. It could be tracking and selling the data.

Sorry, it is go.bsky*app. I corrected my comment!

I’d say that we’re sure it will. It has begun making the same shady practices like redirecting all out going links through go.bsky*app 🙄

In Waloon they are called “vôtes”. Traditionally they are thicker with raisins in them. When made with buckwheat, they are called “boûketes”.

I was thinking about that. I guess the objective of brands is to be so normalized that people don’t even think about it. Of course they’re driking coffee at that place. Of course you’ll go there to chit-chat with your friend. Going somewhere else doesn’t even cross one’s mind.
