The evidence of the mechanism of anesthetics on microtubules preventing consciousness makes me suspect that actual honest to god consciousness is phenomenon that arises from fundamentally intra-cellular, not inter-cellular mechanisms; that no more than a single cell is required to have a form of experience. Which is a potential I hate, but it’s the most consistent model I have.

I suspect that all animal cells think and have experiences. But neural cells are specialized.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! That page made it look like an Android device but when you go to configure one, it’s Ubuntu.

Android was until recently an acceptable choice, while iOS has never been acceptable, no matter how “good” they make them. They are poisoned. Apple in general has always been extremely consumer-hostile and they are not trustworthy for the kind of relationship that they abusively force on their users.

My next tablet is going to be an x64 or ARM device that runs straight linux. Android is dead now that they are closing the software ecosystem.

I feel like this is a superstitious resistance. My face is the least sensitive identifying factor I have. My email address is more sensitive than my face!!!

Many online services derive value from the critical mass of users they home. This plus financial apps would include virtually all instances where facial images are required for security purposes. Self-hosting cannot solve this problem for you, you are effectively saying you will refrain from using these social and financial services at all.

It is commonly used for AML and other user-verification purposes.

Awww, leave little SQLite alone, stick to picking on MySQL

Are you joking? That’s exactly the sort of person who belongs there. Those women ARE the pageant’s product. He has exactly the right philosophy and psychology to excel at his job. The problem is not the individual, it’s the job, it’s the pageant.
