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.

If you entered the field 10 years ago, sure. If you're trying to enter the field now, I have bad news...

Pasta and Sushi are two of the strongest foods in the world. Any person worth their salt would try it

GOG and Humble are really good stores though

The games are coming to Steam. Even if the launcher is there, Steam still gets the 30%

Wikipedia is using this site as the source, and that site shows around 20% market share for Mac. Linux is at 3% and ChromeOS is at 4%, so if you combine them and double that it still isn't at 75% of the market share Mac has.

This isn't mentioning that dealing with Linux compatibility is more annoying than Mac or Windows compatibility. Macs are very uniform, Windows has a giant making sure everything is compatible, and Linux has 900 distros that will never agree to co-operate.

See the thing is, when you use Windows you don't need a compatability list.

It may also mean that you have the type of paper that you want to print on, but the divider inside of the paper tray is set on a different size -> and then it thinks you have the wrong paper size because the paper doesn't fit the tray size.

Basically you either want to: put paper in the tray, change the paper in the tray to a different size, or change the position of the tray divider thing.

The people using Instagram/Facebook aren't people who are looking for a platform to browse the Fediverse, at least not the majority. The majority of users there are people who don't even know the Fediverse exists.

Meta isn't looking to join the Fediverse or provide some kind of service to their users, they are looking for business opportunities. They are looking for money, advertising space, free content. Videos and memes were stolen from outside sources into Facebook for years and they still haven't addressed it - there isn't even an option to link to the source outside of copying the link directly into the post.

Meta has no goodwill whatsoever. The ONLY things they are looking for are business opportunities. More people to milk for money, and more ways to do it. They are not a new player in the internet scene, they have always been against social interest from the very first changes they made to Facebook, and they are still that same company under the same leadership.

Not defederating from Threads is choosing to water down the content in the instance's "all" section, in order to have an instance with literally 100x the size of the entire Fediverse, which can at best produce memes and at worst stand against the entire reason anyone even made an instance in the first place.

TL;DR I support defederating from Threads. And I write all of this while considering your post to be good - your opinion makes sense to me, I just don't agree with you. And I don't agree with you because I watched FB and Reddit turn to shit simply because they had too few people in power. Lemmy can survive this problem because there are just too many people in power to abuse this system in the same way.

Birds can often swim. The fish also can't fly.

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
