Because it’s funnier that way

I misread your tone cause of the way the other person reacted to my joke, apologies

Not with the stars though right?

Spend 5 minutes creating a bash script

Spend 5 billion dollars on an overly complicated summarizer

Why the fuck would I wanna write bash

What you’re describing is just a higher level of autonomy. If I remember correctly, you’re describing level 3 whereas Tesla’s are level 2. I believe VW made a level 3 proof of concept mini bus back around 2020 but the legislation doesn’t allow for the sensors in the road yet because… Oh that’s right. A level 2 car manufacturer owns like half the world right now which means nobody is allowed to innovate or do better than him. Huh, that sucks.

Why are we taking this so seriously? I don’t want to actually be the Borg. I want to be a socialist cyborg, and that’s what I meant in my first comment

Edit: okay I totally did say “I’d be a Borg” but I meant a socialist cyborg. My bad

I almost feel like you’re intentionally avoiding what I’m actually saying. I am not praising the Borg as an exemplar of a good society. I am saying that they happen to have one aspect that is also present in what would be a good society. In my first comment I acknowledged that what they do is not okay, and then jokingly compared assimilation to socialism because it has 2 similar properties. I oversimplified for the sake of a joke. You’re being an ass for no reason over a joke about cyborgs being kind of similar to socialism. The joke used the Borg as a subject but literally any cyborg lifeform would fit the bill because the mechanical parts provide the sustenance and protection the worker needs.

So? Can’t the Borg also be socialist? We have multiple capitalist groups right here in real life

At what point did I mention anything about the hive mind being a good thing? The only thing I praised was the fact that the hive provides homes and sustenance for its workers

I’m not talking about the method they use to work, I’m talking about the methods they use to facilitate that work. They provide their workers with homes and sustenance. I would expect to put entertainment on that list too if they weren’t cyborgs

I’m stealing that quote, that’s fuckin fantastic. If you came up with that, kudos

BROLIGARCHY

Brother that is the funniest fucking portmanteau I’ve seen in ages. Thank you for this lmao

Amazing. You’ve yet to actually make a point in this conversation, only disparage mine without any counterargument lol

Fully providing every single need to their people in an attempt to create the most efficient worker possible? It just so happens that their “work” is assimilating people into the hive, but… The methods surrounding their work are pretty nice.

Yeah, if the Borg weren’t so violent towards non Borg they would be the actual end goal of a lot of nerds. You’re telling me we could be socialist cyborgs in space?

I would be lining up to become part of the Borg tbf. It’s basically giga-socialism

I’ll really really appreciate this. I like having a few federated services to bounce between when I’m bored, but not a huge fan of actually using pixelfed since it’s more akin to social medias I never used. Having pixelfed content more easily accessible in Lemmy will make it a lot easier for me to interact with larger portion of the Fediverse

I think that’s regional on top of generational, but I’m not certain

I’m not dead yet, which means there is still more I can do to affect this situation. This is not the time to forfeit.

They might not deserve it, but so much can be gained by being more gentle than people deserve. The people who mistreated MLK didn’t deserve his kindness, but he gave it anyway and that played a huge part in how influential he was

Nah, this isn’t the time to ridicule them. They’re realizing they’ve made a mistake. This is a crucial opportunity to say “Yes you did, and that’s okay. Let’s fix this together”
