The eugenicism is because of the tests; not the politicians.

You think this would work because you assume we could write such tests with such accuracy as to evade bias (or that such requirement for testing wouldn’t be exploited by opportunists to place metrics much more aligned with whom said opportunists would like to eradicate).

I’d point out that you say the tests should test for empathy but Empathy Deficit Disorder exists and, as EDD people often point out, the lack of being able to feel empathy doesn’t stop them from wanting to help people and making choices based off that desire. They just don’t feel empathy when they do it.

Of course, you’re not using that word to mean literally understanding and relating to others’ feelings; sympathy would certainly qualify.

But how do you ensure that? Who gets to implement these tests? And what stops it from being someone who just sees Empathy Deficit Disorder and goes, “Eew…keeping them away from this….”

I always feel to like I sound like I’m being condescending but (and I mean this as genuinely as possible) you should try selling out writing and theory by disabled authors. Because of the way disabled people are erased from both culture and society as practically a matter of function, it can be really hard to even realize the ways in which our assumptions don’t factor them in. Stuff covering ability and autonomy are incredibly interesting in the ways they think about concepts due different lived experiences.

Hey, bud; maybe let’s not bring whorephobic and misogynistic euphemisms into this.

Not to mention the eugenicism this would ignite.

I’m pretty certain they already consider canola oil in the bad™ group.

Thought that was Ellie Kemper in the preview images and was really confused.

I’ve really enjoyed ncdu (for those looking for a non-GUI option).

Yeah; as a black person, the whole thing was just so obviously in the vein of White Flight rhetoric, etc.

Thank you; I’ve felt like I’ve been hallucinating the past week with Lemmy doubling down on capitalism – but in our backyard – and seemingly neglecting that Europe had its own long, and currently ongoing, history of colonialism and exploration.

The reach for shoring up existing systems – but just, now, in European control – rather than establishing better ones has been massively disappointing.

It’s only cold because, if slightly anything goes awry, humanity ceases to exist.

Yup; and it can make general independence more difficult (like trying to leave an abusive relationship or household).

God, I’m so glad Jon Oliver finally joined the Fediverse.

I do imagine the thought experiment is more meaningful to those on the dying end, I’ll give you that.

You’d doubt the Fediverse Chick‽

Yeah…; heh, discovered some things this afternoon. Neither browser was able to load Google without crashing the tab (which, I dunno, could – maybe – motivate me to kick the habit?).

Luakit, on my distro, is v2.3.3 and I tried building to v2.4.0 but the built executable kept saying 2.3.3 for its version. I suspect this is probably more my fault, though.

Why haven’t I tried Qute?

I dunno! Heh, I feel like it’s relatively popular but I’ve also been snooping around the minimal browser space since Uzbl so maybe my perception’s off.

The biggest reason you may not have is it is based on Chromium. At the time I discovered it, the dev.'s reason was due to security issues in WebKit, at the time, but that was also 5–9 years ago so that may not be a concern, anymore.

It’s also built with QT; I generally use GTK so it’s my one gripe but I know it doesn’t bother everyone.

And it’s built on Python (I know that bothers some); but those are the only things I can think of.

It uses the same default layout that Uzbl inspired in vimprobable, dwb, jumanji, vimb, and Luakit so that’ll probably be familiar. Vim bindings out of the box (which I feel like Uzbl also inspired in all the aforementioned browsers; well, I’d guess it was inspired by the Pentadactyl/Vimperator extensions, first).

I feel like it’s the most stable of the bunch, for the most part (which is probably why I keep going back to it). It can be resource heavy but the customizability and fairly stable performance is generally pretty good.

And it got support for uBlock Origin (I’m sure there’s a generic name but I’m afraid I don’t know it) style adblock lists recently with the help of Python’s adblock library (I hadn’t realized Luakit and Nyxt had support for that until now and it was always by major con, with Qutebrowser).

Right now, there’s a Wayland display issue in suffering with but that’s QT’s fault and isn’t present on v6.8 (but my distro’s still at 6.7.2…); so that might not even be an issue, for you.

I forget why I stopped using Luakit for Qutebrowser…

Maybe I should give it a go, again; or Nyxt. I’m probably more along as a programmer for its setup to be more intuitive.

Him and his hat always pop into my thoughts, from time to time.

Truly; it’s shocking how much people are still clinging to permissive licensing in the middle of everything going on.

O. K. but did anyone take care-of/in the kitten, after?
