i think that the reason they are doing it so openly is that the billionaires think that owning all the media will make people not realize what is happening. but i don’t think they are as smart as they think they are, so we will have to wait and see how many people realize

I have seen this around multiple times. I really doubt that it is real. The whole working-for-tips system is messed up, thou, but the biggest I have ever seen recommended is 25%

the gulf of mexico isn’t bordering any country in south america

i just can’t think of any. like the article says, i fully expected the app to send data to china. but even if you are maliciously spying on users, why would you send the stolen data on unsecured channels? so that everyone in the path takes advantage of the data your wanted to steal?

“regulations are written in blood” is a quote for a reason

how is “ultra-portable” a positive, when all these phone are the same size, and not even small phones at all?

he wants to act like a Nazi, spread Nazi ideas, help implement Nazi policies, and have Nazi friends, but not being called a Nazi

well, thanks to AI-generated answers, it might change every time you search

you see all these trends… and are still paying for Prime?

Idiocracy was too optimistic. it supposes that when people are having problems they will realize, realize they can’t fix it, and try to find someone who knows more than them to fix them

maybe i have never been in proper situations, then, because in my experience, people will use pronouns or names indistinctly

The only time you would ever need to use someone’s pronouns is when they’re not part of the conversation anyway.

Richard Rhodes’ The Making of the Atomic Bomb is a great book that kind of explains all that in detail…

but i would say it is either the Curie’s experiments, discovering the neutron, splitting the atom, Fermi’s reactor, or the tests during the Manhattan project; all really well documented.

Mac owners have money? more like had money

the techbros that think that with sufficiently advanced AI we could solve climate change are so stupid. like, we might not have a perfect solution, but we have ideas on how to start to make things better (less car-centric cities, less meat and animal products, more investment in public transport and solar), and it gets absolutely ignored. why would it be different when an AI gives the solution? unless they want the “eat fat-free food and you will be thin” solution to climate change, in which we change absolutely nothing of our current situation but it is magically ecological

snowballing

yeah, it is not snowballing, it is Network Effect. for the people who want to use a twitter-like social network, the value is in the many other people using it.

Reddit would probably ban “paywall evasion” subreddits. They have shown that they have no problem shitting on their more loyal users with the while taking control of subreddits that were protesting
