With consent, of course.
Can’t have your notebook battery running flat mid-draw, now can you?
Nothing new, though. People have always tried to stick to normality during momentous events. It’s not like everything immediately dissolves into anarchy.
Even if it wasn’t, fact of the matter is that innocent people would have died in its collapse, and that would be unacceptable regardless.

T156@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why can computers, like even very old laptops can seemingly get OS updates forever, while mobile devices hardly get a few years of updates before getting stuck out of date?English3·3 days agoEventually we’ll hit it with phones, and then it’s just a matter of time till a solid “base” with swapable components come out. There’s been a couple already, but they still require a sacrifice of size or speed/power.
I’d honestly argue that we’ve more or less hit it already, since a lot of phones over the past few years haven’t really changed from the template of being a black glass rectangle with some buttons on it.
That implies that Britain didn’t intend those consequences. But Britain has mastered using starvation as a weapon of genocide, in particular by masking it as an “unfortunate” result of taxes and tariffs.
We do know that the British did try and get the Irish to renounce their heritage to receive aid during the famine as well. Some families had to renounce their Irish name and Catholicism before they would be given food during the famine.

I don’t doubt a portion of the Disney remakes would have ended up being direct-to-VCD sequels you’d only find in a video rental store.
T156@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would AI replacing humans in every workplace eventually make it easier for an advanced civilization from outer space to colonize us?English19·18 days agoNo. Because any advanced civilisation capable of sending a colony ship across light-years to another planet is already so far outside of our current technological ability that it matters precious little.
We would be easy to colonise either way. Doubly so if they have some form of FTL technology to make that trip in reasonable time.
But there’s also an argument that anyone who can do so would have a much easier time not dealing with all of that and just colonising an uninhabited planet, or outright using materials to make a thing to colonise instead.
As is the lack of the shower cleaning itself and getting rid of the tiny bits that you missed along the way when you’re basically done.
