It's also logically inconsistent for anything to be omnipotent. Why is one case of inconsistency OK, and another doesn't make sense?

Why can't God create reality such that free will is possible without evil? He is omnipotent, so there's nothing stopping him, right?

Sorry, du bist nicht die Art von Person, an die ich meine Zeit verschwenden möchte. Wenn du konstruktive Diskussionen führen willst, versuch vielleicht erstmal deinem Gegenüber nicht wild Positionen zu unterstellen, Strohmänner aufzubauen und dann noch mit meinem "no u" zu kommen.

Lies mal deinen Post hier. Egal ob die Regeln gut oder schlecht sind, ist völlig egal, Hauptsache Regeln.

Wtf, wo hab ich das bitte gesagt? Ich finde die Regulierungen im AI-Act für Bildung, Gesundheit etc. extrem sinnvoll und kann absolut nicht verstehen, wie jemand inhaltlich dagegen sein kann.

Hast du die Regulierungen Mal gelesen? Oder schwingst du nur leere Parolen?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Das heißt wir sollen die Tech-Unternehmen einfach auf unsere Schüler, Kranken usw loslassen ohne irgendwie zu regulieren? Wow. Verstehst du echt nicht, was das für eine schlechte Idee ist?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Man kann im AI-Act vieles kritisieren, aber es als "Trump-Level-Unsinn" zu bezeichnen geht zu weit. Willst du echt, dass KI-Zeug ohne Plan in Schulen, Krankenhäusern usw. eingesetzt werden darf? Das zu steuern ist alles Teil des AI-Acts.

Oh, you call your aunt that too?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Bloody splendid!

 

For the record, the ones we definitely know about are (thanks to the wiki):

  • Macrodata Refinement
  • Optics and Design
  • Wellness Center
  • Mammalians Nurturable
  • Choreography and Merriment

Possibly also departments:

  • Distribution Supply
  • Disposal and Reclamation
 

But alas, he's destined to never receive it.

 

Invincible has a whole host of awesome and unique characters. Who's your favorite, and why?

 

Now that season 2 is over and we've all had some time to let things settle & reflect, what are your predictions for season 3? Do you have any particular ideas about things that will/won't happen? Any wishes or other thoughts?

 

Hey all! @LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works and I wanted to give a quick update on the rules, since we received a couple of questions.

We've tried to clarify rule 3 a bit, now it reads:

3. Don’t spoil people in a way they can’t circumvent - that means no mentions in post titles/comments outside spoiler threads for:

  • comics spoilers about something that hasn’t happened in the show
  • TV show spoilers if it’s been less than a week since the episode aired

As you can see we've shortened the time a bit to allow better discussion after new episodes, and we've clarified how spoilers should be hidden.

What do you guys think? Does this work for everyone, or is something unclear?


A short aside, since this is the first real "moderator" type communication we're putting out - WOW, hard to believe how the community has grown! Already more than 150 subscribers, and almost 500 people visiting last month. Thank you all for being a part of this, and for making the moderation such an easy job. You guys are amazing, we can't thank you enough!

Hey! I'm looking for an alternative to Sync, and Summit looks great.

Unfortunately it defaults to German, and (as is usually the case) the translation isn't great, e.g. the font names are translated (and the translations aren't correct). So I'd like to use English.

But I can't find the setting. I searched for "lang" as well as the German word in the settings, but it seems there's no language selection.

Is there really no way to change your selected language, except for changing your phone language? That would be a bummer.

 

Season 2 Episode 6: Attila

Aired: February 21, 2025

Synopsis: Bonds are tested. Mark continues on his path of discovery.

Directed by: Uta Briesewitz

Written by: Erin Wagoner

 

Since I've seen the episode, I've been thinking about the story he told, and I don't think it's "canonical" like the handbook. I'm almost certain that it's either:

  • a Lumon "fairy tale", either only for use in team building exercises like the ORTBO, or possibly also told outside (did Helena know it?)
  • or a story made by Milchick specifically for our group, possibly AI generated (since "Dieter Eagan" is an anagram for "AI generated")

It felt very much like a scavenger hunt for a child's birthday or something similar, only in corporate form. Milchick thought that he could fulfill the groups desire for "adventure", and thus make them focus on work once more.

What do you think?

 

Let's face it: the app has been abandoned for longer than is acceptable, especially at this price level. It's no longer working correctly on newer Lemmy versions, and there's no indication the dev is still active.

Yes, he worked similarly during Reddit times, but a) Sync was much cheaper back then, and b) Reddit didn't change as much.

Right now, to unsuspecting users Sync seems great given the 4.9 star rating on the Play Store. They'll possibly buy this app before noticing that it's subtly broken.

Please consider giving Sync a bad rating, but if you do so, explain why. Write about the broken functionality, so others don't fall into the same trap.

Amazing episode! But I'm not sure how to feel about this decision yet, guess we'll have to see which theories are correct.

When the short animated movie starts, we clearly see a projector with three separate projection sources, one with a lens for each base color:

Since they are each positioned with a slight offset and angled, the projected pictures can't work well for all distances. The further you get from the actual "perfect" distance, the more the different color channels will be offset visually. And yet, what do we see when Mr. Milchick steps in front of the screen?

Obviously the whole fandom has been intensely discussing multiple theories:

  • Lumon has developed projector technology lightyears ahead of our own
  • Most of the production cost for this season went into growing such a talented child actress, so Apple saved money on set design
  • Mr. Milchick is actually a flat surface that merely looks like a 3D person due to optical trickery

I'm not sure which one I agree with the most. What do you guys think?
