Love to know what your diet is.

ramble81@lemmy.zipto TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•I find myself in this debate amongst friends and family regularly1·15 hours agoThen by that logic, you die every time you lose consciousness or go to sleep. If I’m in one body, lose consciousness and awaken in another body, it’s really no different because I’m still me.
It doesn’t matter if it’s the same atoms or not, I am me.

I mean it makes sense. If your legs were able to propel you that far but you lacked the skill to use it and faceplanted on landing, it’s gonna hurt. You could at least try to add a skill check for how well you land.
ramble81@lemmy.zipto TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•I find myself in this debate amongst friends and family regularly1·23 hours agoWhat does it matter if there’s new “anima”. I am me. It doesn’t matter if it’s my original body or another body. It’s whatever is my current frame of reference for the corresponding meat bag that I inhabit.
I really don’t understand the whole “well I died, and this isn’t me”… are you conscious? Lucid? Retain your memories? Then what does it matter?
“Well what if the original is still around or there are two copies?” Again, it doesn’t matter, because at that point they are two physically distinct entities. You only inhabit one of them and the moment you start experiencing different stimuli, you’re two separate people. Granted at that point there are some legal and logistical issues, but it’s not a metaphysical one.

Um, you’re not doing it right if that’s the case. Multi-cloud redundancy reduces downtime, it doesn’t increase downtime unless you’re doing something stupid like dividing up your SPOFs
It has, and I’ve been told “it’s a fluke” or “it’s not worth the effort”, followed by them freaking out with us being down and all the money we’re losing and what can we do about it.
