Thanks for the info.

I don’t own an AI Thinkpad either, I’m just thinking ahead for when I eventually have to purchase a new computer.

That sounds really cool actually. Does it require special licensing like ham radio does? 

Wow thank you so much for this detailed response! It’s great to hear about it from your point of view since you can see the broad trends given the timescale you’re working with.

I’m very pleased to hear that you can see more normies here now. That’s what we need if the fediverse is to ever really break into the mainstream.

I do have one question for you, and it’s a pedantic one:

Certainly, there are still some reply guys

What is a “reply guy”?

Thanks again for taking the time to write such an in-depth response! 

Gretzky was a Canadian icon. A source of national pride. But when Trump was threatening to annex Canada it came out that Gretzky was a MAGA guy. This caused a widespread sense of betrayal among the Canadian public.

Wow and here I was thinking I was being thorough by cleaning my phone with lysol wipes when I got home

What’s the linux experience like on a mac? Last time I tried to do that the sound didn’t work because Apple hadn’t released the firmware for the speakers 

That sounds way beyond the average users technical expertise. But it sounds like it might work. If you manage to figure out how to do that please let me know 

A projector is also a good alternative 

What’s meshtastic?

No. No one is suggesting that it’s magic. One popular idea is that consciousness is an irreducible and fundamental (and, crucially, nonphysical) constituent of the universe. It must still follow laws even if this was the case, because it works with such regularity in our day-to-day lives (certain wavelengths of light reliably produce the same colour experiences, etc) which wouldn't be the case if there were no laws at play.

An analogy can be made here to electromagnetism. For a while it was thought that electricity and magnetism could be reduced to other physical forces. We now know that’s not true. Electromagnetism is one of the fundamental forces of nature. Its irreducible. Similarly: it was thought for a time that consciousness could be reduced to the physical. A growing number of researchers are now seeing that this can’t be done, so it might just be the case that consciousness is a fundamental constituent of the universe. Its nonphysical, and irreducible to anything but itself. 

I second this. Apps that use other services under the hood aren’t nearly as accurate, either. 

how is a flying car different from a aircraft?

If we had as many aircraft in the sky as we do cars on the road, the changes of deadly collisions in the air would go up by a lot. It would become crowded up there, with a lot of potential obstacles to bump into.
