Im with you. And i think social media didnt stop being social by accident. Once a platform becomes expected to grow forever:
Id argue that the internet didnt suddenly forget how to be social, but that it was purposfully optimized not to be.
The nazis did the same. They denied science like physics and instead created “their own” physics that pleased their agenda. I’m just waiting for the day when fake science is adopted to US curriculum.
If you are into fantasy, then I need to recommend you the books of Brandon Sanderson, especially the Stormlight Archive series. It’s so epic, nothing else comes close
My GF uses Flo. Can you elaborate why it is spyware? Who is spying? What data are being collected?
Edit: nvm, I was too stupid to see the hidden drop down text
Not a single day without a scandal
Yeah, I kind of agree with you. Bad example from my side.
First of all: great thing that you found something that you can be passionate about. Thats worth a lot.
On topic: I am not a native english speaker, so when reading english literature, I prefer sentences that are grammatically and syntactically somewhat well-structured. It becomes much easier for me to read when authors do not rely too heavily on context, but instead ensure that each sentence contains a clear subject, verb, and the necessary objects. Thats the main thing bothering me in your texts The downside is that this can make the writing sound somewhat formal or scientific, which might not be to your liking. So maybe don’t listen to me at all :D
Also, I know many people on here dont like AI, but text handling is exactly what it was made for. With the right prompts, you could analyse your work and look for low-quality-sentences and manually overthink them. Just as an idea.
So your takeaway from a woman murdering her children is that monogamy is the problem? Hol’up
If one person becomes possessive in a relationship, then by your standard:
Every employment is slavery because some bosses are abusive.
Every democracy is a tyranny because some politicians are corrupt.
Any parenting whatsoever is ownership because some parents are controlling.
Every friendship is coercion because some friends are manipulative.
Human designed systems can be abused. That does not mean the systems only exist to abuse people.
Likewise, the concept of marriage may be a legal framework for shared property, inheritance, medical stuff, etc, but it exists because people frequently fall in love with each other and lust for options to make their love somewhat official. And maybe humans discovered that stable cooperative units somehow reduce chaos, or so.
Also, why calling marriage ‘legal enslavement’ while simultaneously saying ‘family is family’? So many contradictions. That is like seeing famine and concluding agriculture was the mistake.
You’re not critiquing monogamy here, but stapling unrelated ideological grievances onto a murder case. It is misery we should be outraged by, not merely the behavior of the miserable.
I dont know If you can LARP it, but the Stormlight Archive is a pretty cool fandom. Highly recommend
It’s a politico article. The same company that ownes the German Axel Springer and Welt, and some other European right-wing media outlets. They have an agenda of polarizing people, directly contributing to the rise of new alt-right/nazi parties like the AfD in Germany. AfD is now leading in all polls, and I’d say thats partly the fault of media outlets like politico. Keep that in mind. Dont click, dont share. Always fact-check.
I doubt the Iran war will be over anytime soon. The cost of war for Iran to block the strait is ridiculously low. The cost for the invading US was, is, and will stay very high. I am convinced that the strait wont open ever again without Iran installing some kind of profit-maschine there. So the US either accepts strategic defeat and shows the world, that their military power is only a husk of what it once was, or it will continue depleting it’s stockpiles. Either way, I don’t see an invasion of Cuba coming. However, the blockade itself is an act of aggression and needs to end asap.
How is this even possible? How can an autocratic admin simply except itself from justice? What happened to checks/balances? What happened to “We the people”?
The demand for greater security always poses a threat to personal freedom. It is therefore only natural that those who wish to curtail this freedom in order to gain control over society do so by stoking fear and uncertainty regarding terrorism, migration, Islam, and so on.
Off topic: After 9/11, investigators recovered 19 personal IDs from the ruins, all belonging to Arab individuals. All these IDs “somehow” survived the impact, the fires intense enough to weaken the steel beams, the collapse itself, and the chaos that followed at ground zero. The tragedy was then used to generate the level of public fear necessary to justify greatly expanding state control. It’s a fight against their own people.
Nice answer. TY for the in-depth explanation.
Link doesn’t work.
How trustworthy is the source? Never heard of that adress.
Mhm, I think this is more complicated than it looks. The LF today isn’t a direct Linux kernel funding body and more an umbrella for open-source governance (infrastructure, events, certification, security work, to name a few). So the other 97% are not necessarily wasted. Also, many kernel developers are paid outside of the LF by companies like Red Hat, Google, AMD, SUSE, Microsoft. So in reality there is alot more cash flowing towards Linux kernel development. A better/sharper criticism would be that the LF has become an industry consortium for “enterprise open source” or so, rather than a Linux-centered foundation. The counterpoint on the other Hand is that this founded infrastructure is exactly what allows large-scale open-source projects to function in the first place.
I think there are many right answers, and in the end it’s dependent on your personal likings. I am self-hosting using Fedora, and I couldn’t be happier.
Can’t say anything about the browser, but honestly that name is ridiculous. You literally just need to drop a letter and you are left with Spermium.
At least these kids are safe now and noone will experience any trade off from this policy /s
This is creepy as hell. I liked the Renault 5 - until now. Fuck this shit. I wont pay a small fortune, just to enslave myself to a 1984-style digital panopticon. I am getting angry just by reading your story. Corporate greed is once again crossing the line, slowly shifting the overtone window. Everyone who is not concerned about this, is simply ignorant and/or borderline stupid.
If it was my car, I’d probably cover it. And if it then starts beeping, I’d maybe even locate the speaker and deactivate that one, too.
I wonder if it is even legal to sell you something like this without informing you prior to your purchase.
