Photons are an exception (at least, in as much as that they are a particle), and you can make new particls from energy, but definitely there's a limit to how old a particle can be. No particle is older than the universe (as far as the big bang is concerned).
That's Ceaser, right?
100% there are enough actions tied to swiping already, adding more just means I do the wrong one every time.
It's possible that Lemmy in general is leftist because the people who came here wanted faster and more effective moderation against hate speech whereas more right wing people didn't have a particularly strong need or desire for moderation.
I don't know if this is exactly the same thing, but just being able to see the local feed on foreign instances would be awesome. ATM I don't think I can even see details on foreign instances.
I might have the wrong definition of fascism, but I typically think of it as extreme government overreach and control. Capitalism, however, needs a free market and free-will exchange, both of which government restrict.
If you wanted to argue that capitalism inevitably devolves into fascism you might be able to, but I suspect that any economic system would just as easily devolve to fascism.
In order for capitalism to devolve into fascism, you'll have to corrupt the government (otherwise there's no way to override free will exchange). However, what exists in capitalism that makes this easier/provides additional incentives for this? Every system with a government will have powerful people who want to manipulate the government for more power.
That's a remarkably interesting link, thanks for sharing.
I've actually been thinking that AI poses a substantial enough existential risk that it probably should be called Abominable Intelligence.
Sounds a lot like people.
That third bot sounds really cool honestly. Possible privacy concerns, but not necessarily.
The bot that can set reminders (though I don't know if it worked)
the one that tells you if your comment is in alphabetical order
The bot that ranked other bots
Wasn't there an xkcd-ass bot?
The tldr bots were awesome

That's actually where democracy came from. When guns came along, it became extremely cheap and easy to turn every random peasant into a soldier. This meant that you essentially always had to have the will of the people on your side.
