I believe the word you’re looking for is anthropocentrism

There’s some hostile people abounding. Let them think what they will, it makes little difference to the sum of your day. I don’t expect you to respond again. I’ll respect you and your opinion just as much either way. But I hope that at the very least, you take some time to consider what you can do to help the people around you create the industries we need.

I do agree that we needed to take drastic action in order to change the course of our country. In fact, I actually don’t like the tariffs because they’re not nearly drastic enough. The shift towards internalizing our needs should have come by empowering our people, rather than pushing away aid.

It’s not a secret that trading internationally for 90% of our needs isn’t exactly healthy for our longevity; but you can’t take blood from a stone. The people need help to get to their next decade, their next birthday, their next check, even to their next meal for many. We should be demanding that the powers that be use their resources to create a workforce capable of doing anything, and facilitating itself. That starts with putting people to work, which means helping them off the streets so that they have an address to put on their resume at the very least.

Have a great day.

Welcome to Lemmy. It sounds like you either come from a place of extreme privilege or you’re not actually sure how the tariffs will affect the people.

The idea behind the tariffs is fine. They want to drive union Members (fun fact, did you know that that’s how the founding fathers referred to citizens?) to buy and trade locally. However, many of the products we use in our day to day life come from industries that don’t exist in the US yet, and it will take years to create the required infrastructure and factories and farm land in order to create those industries.

Effectively, the tariffs would have been fine. If the US had actually been prepared to take care of itself. But it’s not, and it won’t be for a long time. So, the tariffs only exist as an extra tax right now.

I banned myself off Reddit. Deleted my 10 year old account because fuck em.

I didn’t, unfortunately, obfuscate my comments before deleting them. However, I find solace in thinking that there is a small win in leaving all of that socialist propaganda in their training data

You’re gonna look around and see a few old accounts and think you missed the early bus. You didn’t. We’re still pioneering.

If you think “why isn’t there a community for this” or “why isn’t anyone posting to this community” it’s because we’re small and we need people like you to fix those issues!

Yes, “excessive acceleration”

I thought this was a shit post at first because same

I guess to be fair, most of my time working with electronics was alongside the USN so that makes sense

I know you’re not wrong but I’ve always heard that pin called “ground” instead of “earth” in English

I was cursed with FD on my first Linux machine and now it’s one of the first things I download when I set up a new machine :(

Electric motors have high torque at low RPM

For anyone scrolling by and curious about this, this is caused by the combination of physical and electrical resistance. In a typical engine, RPM and torque go up together because it requires more force to get to those higher RPMs (IIRC this is called positive correlation). In a circuit, you have to kind of convince the electricity that it would be better off somewhere else (by connecting to a ground, this is due to electrical resistance), so you have to give it a heavy upfront load to get it going which causes a lot of torque due to the physical resistance

I don’t think anybody can dethrone Google Maps

I wonder how the whole “AI is more important than copyright” thing could play into this… Someone could totally program an “AI” map assistant right?

Yo, startpage looks sick. I’ll have to poke around and see if I can find more info on that it looks super useful. My quick test just now was “cloture 2025” which returned 4 news articles followed by basically nothing but .gov links, whereas Google returns way more “news”

Yeah I think I’m headed in this direction. I’ve also been thinking about one of them self-hostable search engines a lot

People are giving great answers here. One I didn’t notice at a glance is that the Fediverse is feckin small. Most of the world doesn’t know it exists yet, and centralized social medias are probably not gonna be super big about pushing that info through their algorithms

Not technically my first lease, but the first one that I’m financially responsible for which is pretty neat…

Ya know I was gonna say “all things considered” at first but I realized that it’s actually only neat if you consider only a small portion of things. If you consider all things, you would realize that paying rent in a post-scarcity world is laughable

Hey!

Just cause you’re right doesn’t mean it’s polite lol

Strongly agreeing with the other commenter, and adding Owl House and Steven Universe to that list. Great shows for learning compassion and empathy

I love this
