AFAIK they would remain tied to your old account. The instances copy everything off each other. So if reddthat.com would go down, your comment would still show as [email protected] If you were to make a new account on a different instance it would not have your posts and comments “attached” to it.
This could be an issue if you rely on reputation for something that is tied to your account. In that sense having some mechanism to proof the old account to be owned by you would be good.
You can transfer all your subscriptions and blocks. What you cannot transfer is your imaginary internet points that aren’t summed up by default in lemmy anyways.
Loans for consumer products should be outlawed. Nothing good ever comes out of them.
Sweden is one of the main exporters of Neoliberalism outside of its own borders.
Yeah, but Palantir is based on using AI in Saudi Arabia to execute people for being gay. Proof? The computer said so.
And in any other country it boils down to variations of that principle. Justify oppression, discrimination, torture and murder by the “impartial” decision of the computer algorithm fine tuned to make exactly that decision.
I have a question. Everyone keeps speaking of the “tech” sector. Does that only refer to IT or does it cover engineers as well? Because in Europe it seems they keep struggling to get enough people with IT knowledge into engineering projects.
Nobody is kept from taking additional education if they want to, like you did. But the general education should be from school and school education needs to define the standard of what everyone should know or should at least have known at some point so he or she can refresh upon it.
If you make it mandatory to make academic education contain every subject like school did, you will end up with programs taking 20 years instead of 5 years to graduate. If you want to discriminate against certain subjects you end up in the same trap of defining certain subjects as relevant and others as irrelevant, like the criticized “STEM-lords”
And the comment replied to specifically claimed air to be liquid, which it is not at typical temperatures and pressures.
That is a very broad generalization. First of all inflation is not just some co-product of economic activity. It has specific reasons. An economy is not stagnant because the oil price sinks after geopolitical tensions ease. An economy is not stagnant because businesses are kept from price gouging in cartels or monopoly situations.
Also “stagnant” is not inherently bad. The reason why we need economic growth is because the super rich are siphoning off more and more wealth, so economic growth is the only thing keeping poor people from revolting. A zero growth or even degrowth economy could serve the people very well, if wealth wouldn’t be hoarded away by select few.
Why? Idiots thinking they know more than they do won’t be stopped by this. Also if we wanted to round humanities and liberal arts by making it mandatory to pass analysis, linear algebra, organic chemistry and classical physics would just lead to much more people not graduating anything.
School is for a general education. Academia is for specialization.
Ethics? Trump? The companies stock price has almost quadroupled over the past year. Since Trumps election it nearly doubled.
Everyone who knows the company knows that it serves to aid authoritarian regimes in oppressing its people. It is known that Palantir serves Israel in its genocide and oppression of the Palestinian people. The entire purpose of this company is to help oppress. Palantir is having ties with the ICE since at least 2014.
It is evil through and through and it is laughable to claim that Trump would be the reason why the company would have gone to far.
A maximum of 10,000% profit is “nonprofit”? Any country that allows for something like this is a joke.
He could just take another form of transportation. There is no public records of cars driven or train tickets purchased.
He could even fly with normal airlines so there would be no public record of his flight.
Boycotting Israeli products is mandated by international law. Anything that helps Israel maintain the illegal occupation of the Westbank, Gaza and East Jerusalem is complicity and illegal. Israel launders products that are made in occupied territory and resources stolen in occupied territory as “made in Israel”. But even if product would have been made purely in the 1967 Israeli borders, the companies still pay taxes that are used to finance the army that is doing the occupation.
If you think that upholding international law is crazy or childish i recommend you to look at the period from 1933 to 1945 that is often given as the reason why there was an effort to create international law.
By now i think we need to assume everyone that is willing to use Israeli tech in any government functions, even if it is only “local police” using Palantir software and the like to be compromised by Israeli intelligence.
The data will be compromised to the detriment of the people and politicians who push for using such tech are likely compromised themselves already.
That is a good question. I have to think about it.
The universe is expanding everywhere all at once in all directions. So space itself is “moving”. It is impossible to define movement except relative to another object made from matter.
Relative to the sun, which is the next center of gravity. As you go up the chain you end up with the heaviest object which you cannot move relative to anything, as it is the logical point of relative movement for everything else.
Because democracy is a temporary embarrassment to the feudal aristocracy and it is rebuilding feudalism through privatizing ownership of public goods.
