  • It used to be that way on Reddit before they changed the algorithm to force old posts (older than 12 hours and then 24 hours and so on) to fuck off from the front page. It’s also a problem that multiple instances show you the same post repeatedly, so a popular post on the front page stays there for a whole week and you will still see it even if you scroll past it.

    Lemmy devs simply do not address the issues of the platform.



  • You are changing the question to “is a perfect replica of a person considered the same person or not?”. That is not the question.

    What you experience by using a teleporter is you enter a room, and then you die. End of story. There being another replica of you somewhere does not change that you died. For an outsider they may argue whether or not you died, whether or not the replica is you, and so on. But from the perspective of someone who enters the teleportation room, it’s over. Dead.

















  • My dude, a lawyer’s job isn’t to “win” in court. The job is to represent the client and make sure that their rights are fulfilled. For a prisoner on death’s row, it might mean he gets to write a will and have a last meal or whatever, and that the method of execution will not be cruel and so on.

    Company legal firms are responsible to guide the company into those bullshit loopholes so that the company can be societally garbage but not be punished by law, and those work mostly by avoiding court cases or forcing lawsuits in unloseable cases (such as copyrights).


  • Dude, most people in Israel start a degree around 22-24 in Israel. You’re not the only one who served 3 years in the military. Starting a degree earlier is almost exclusively for privileged people. If you can get accepted to a uni at 22, that’s actually really early - you’d be the youngest post-army person in class.

    If you didn’t serve in the military, at least you’re not behind in academic terms.

    edit: this isn’t even taking into account the perspective of age. The time you’ll have between finishing the degree and just being 40 is A LOT longer than it seems at 22. I’m 29, you have soooooooo much time. And on a second age perspective, even at 40 it’s not a bad idea because you can just do whatever you want.

    TL;DR just go for it
