When I found about the existence of Lemmy, I wanted to create an account, and found that Lemmy.ml is the official Lemmy instance ran by the Lemmy developers (who I knew nothing about). Seemed like the obvious, default, non-controversial choice.
Of course I later learned about… All this. I’m not interested in any political content so it took me a while.
So I guess I’d be a casualty, due to picking the biggest instance suggested to me by join-lemmy.org. How is someone new to Lemmy supposed to have the context here?
You only need to pass access to your password manager, which already includes everything. Since you should already have a physical recovery information card printed for your password manager in a drawer somewhere, it would be found anyway.
It does, you have a full screen scary warning when an app asks for these accessibility permissions. Clearly many people just give it to a random QR code reader app for some reason.
Yes, the app doesn’t steal any information from other apps. The report says the malware just displays a fake bank login page, in the hope the user gives it their details willingly.
Why inconsistent? It’s a transfer of information without physical interaction and without using any human senses.
I guess the difference in definition would be “human” senses. If you define it as using no human senses it fits, if you define it as not using any senses it doesn’t, but that would be a useless definition, because nothing could possibly satisfy it.
Hah, I’d expect “ordinary” and “normal” here to mean “ordinary / normal senses for a human”, not for the hypothetical telepathy user. That wouldn’t be a very useful usage of these words, so I doubt that’s what was meant here. There is always a reference point for someone saying something is “normal” or “ordinary”, and that reference point, for a human dictionary, would be a human with human senses.
When I say that a shark has an extraordinary set of teeth, I obviously mean from a human point of view, and not claiming that it’s not normal from the shark’s point of view. And when I, or a dictionary, say that telepathy doesn’t use usual senses, similarly the meaning is that they would be unusual for a human, and personally I would find a species having a sense for radio waves, to be unusual.
Many animals have a vastly superior sense of smell, can see light outside our visible spectrum or hear sound outside our hearing range. But it would be silly to call all these things “telepathy” just because we humans don’t have these senses.
It would be silly to call these things telepathy because by themselves they don’t facilitate a way to communicate thoughts between two minds. Even in the case of radio waves, a sense of radio waves wouldn’t be telepathy by itself, unless there is also a mechanism of generating these radio waves, and unless these two mechanisms are used to communicate ideas between users, just like the sense of hearing is just one part of spoken communication.
If a species had an organ that could generate light outside the visible spectrum to accompany their superior eyes, and they were using it to talk, then yes “telepathic” would a sensible word to describe that. But that special organ, and the mental processing, would be the important parts, not the better eyes.
And when you’re talking about the biology of animals it seems quite self-centred to compare everything to us. We are just one very specific animal.
It would be a tremendously bad business move to choose not to revive them. They’d immediately lose all business as people obviously wouldn’t trust their service anymore.
If the future has the technology to revive you, it has the technology to de-age you. So don’t worry, you are either not waking up at all (most likely), or waking up young.
Maybe it would, but it doesn’t change anything. You asked why would they revive them, they would revive them to prove to potential customers that their service works and get more money. Yes they can just quit making more money like you described, but as I said, that seems like a stupid business decision.
