Thank you! This is the best Lemmy app by far. It’s awesome to see that you’re invested in making it even better.

You’re forcing a black-and-white dichotomy where one does not exist, which is a nice oversimplification that’s the exact sort of thing I’m talking about.

Everyone loves freedom! Like the freedom to:

  • pay a child to work in a mine
  • schedule workers for 80+ hours a week
  • drive without speed limits
  • use as much water out of the local river as desired
  • dump waste into that same river
  • sell unregulated, untested medicine

So obviously there are “freedoms” that mainly serve to infringe on the actual freedoms of others. Those just happen to be the ones that libertarians don’t talk about so much but are really what they’re after.

No, don’t you see, in an impossible hypothetical situation, they assume you’d do something against your stated values. You’ve been pwned by a person of logic and intellect, I’m afraid. I’m sorry, but you agree with them now.

Libertarianism is a theory espoused to those with good intentions by people that have bad intentions.

It doesn’t work for almost anyone. But it super works for some. That’s the point.

It is infinitely remappable. To anything you can program in with a Shortcut, which is a ton of non-trivial stuff. Which they said explicitly.

So many people in this thread saying “who cares it’s just a button” without having any idea what it actually does.

Want the mute switch behavior? Well that’s the default thing the button does and you can use it without looking at it.

Want to program the button to do like literally anything? You can do that. For example:

  • Launch the camera app, or any other app
  • Control your smart home accessories
  • Toggle Do Not Disturb, or another focus mode
  • Run a command on a remote server via ssh
  • Start recording audio in case you’re around cops doing cop stuff
  • Or anything else you can program in with a Shortcut

I was there

I was there when Aaron Rodgers played for the Jets for three minutes

Silliest play of week one, hands down.

Please let’s not do back and forth 3-and-outs all day

Let’s just ignore the partially burned polymers and aluminum and stuff billowing out of the boosters, huh?

Elon is a shithead, but that does not make SLS a good rocket.

The best moment of this best moment is the split second where he reads his line off of the prompt, cannot believe what he is about to say, and then goes ahead and says it in the best way humanly possible. And that’s the take they used.
