If you want to advance humanity through free libre software, look at the FLOSS movement; that's kinda their whole thing. Releasing a small piece of software on GitHub and providing some decent documentation on it is a nice thing to do.

Also, yeah, programming with an llm can speed things up, but you have to know enough to recognize when the llm is hampering you and you have to just roll up your sleeves and code the damn thing yourself. They're improving, but they are still kinda stupid and they lie.

That was bad advice then -- the right already have a party, and it isn't the Democratic one.

Right winger really. She got endorsements from the Cheney's. She had nothing to say about Gaza, BLM, East Palestine Ohio, the housing crisis, ir anything else that mattered.

The egregiously exploitative flavor of capitalism that exists today is a relatively recent development. I don't think it's intrinsic to humanity at all; humanity has been communist for most of our existence. Also, capitalism has a specific meaning; it means the means of production can be privately owned, and that owner gets to decide how many breadcrumbs to give to the workers.

I am atheist, which is an absence of religion. I do however have a deep appreciation for the arts and sciences, and I have a vision for what the world could and should be like. We don't have to have homeless people. We don't have to have hungry people or poverty. The existence of this suffering is a choice that the capitalists make in the pursuit of power.

I'm not sure it's humanity that's the problem so much as capitalism

Arcadium 1 is about as linear as it gets. Its kind of like that game Aero Fighter from the 90s, mixed with Space Invaders. Just shoot the aliens and dodge their shots. On the way, there are gems and power ups that can make your future forays more rewarding.

This is a mobile game -- it's available on iOS and Android.

I suspect the real reason they are doing this is to condition the students to accept oppressive and unjust surveillance in future workplaces.

Yes, anyone who disagrees with you politically must be a Russian troll. I can't imagine why genocide would push someone do do something as extreme as vote green.

What year is? Every year we are pushed further right. If genocide isn't a red line for you, then what is?

Lots of jazz and rock music meets these criteria

 

This is a proposal for how we could potentially bypass the two-party system and set up a government that actually represents the will of the people.

 

Researchers often use the genitalia of insects to differentiate species, since they are a reliable signature of a species uniqueness. A newly discovered beetle has been found to have genitalia that look remarkably similar to a bottle opener.
