No, I don't pay the doctor, the healthcare pool does. And then, the doctor is incentivised to cure me, not keep me in a perpetual drug-purchasing lifestyle as big pharma would.

Most other non-paywalled websited are better by definition. It's blocked-from-reading vs. reading an article.

And it's still overpriced. For being a bunch of soy or whatever, I'd expect it to cost a fraction of meat. I'd rather have fewer real burgers than transition to faux food.

Okay? And when I loaded it just now, I see "Should I get married", Steven Crowler shenanigans, some self-defense videos, etc. I haven't been there just once.

Targeted ads and analytics are not opt-in by default. This leads to shadow profiles and my data being handled by corporations I don't trust. I don't need facebook and all its stalkers to know where I live, for instance. Not to men

Maturing and learning of the dangers around us. We can't wait for natural selection to teach us, it's good to have a rough idea of how non-telegraphed and rapid emergency situations are.

Yeah it's sadly the same with odysee and other alternative sites.

For me, it was a Kurdish soldier on the ground getting shot in the head with a AK from point blank. There were no bits and fragments flying around, his skull just broke apart and his head flattened uncannily like a squished rubber toy and h

True. Too many people protest police actions and recommend "shooting the legs" and such. That's just one example that is readily disproved with a few liveleak videos of police shootouts, yet takes paragraphs to describe in te

It's not perceived, it's empirical. As you pointed out, the focus of low price and undercutting the competition at any cost are partially the reason.

I think the USA's current opponent are lobbying corporations, not terrorists or domestic insurgence.

Democracy is doing just fine. Anyone can vote, fool or laureate. That's democracy, and nothing more.

So your idea of democracy is "only these people should rule you, whether you vote or not."?

The fabric of society has been torn and a website would be the least of our concern.

Privacy is the default. Why would any app ever share info without explicit user consent per-session?

I'm not American and I wasn't just referencing official medical diagnoses but also self-diagnoses. "Maladaptive daydreaming" and "reality shifting" are a thing kids nowadays suffer from.

There is no correlation? How about the causation of dopamine hits caused by videogames and social media? Where do all the adhd misdiagnoses come from?

Then it will be socially acceptable not to have a "Facebook Pro Deluxe $100/mo + tip" account, or any facebook account. I can only hope popular services go pay-only.

These are steady, predictable, iterative improvements. We have nothing groundbreaking like 1970s-1990s. Of course I'm not saying modern hardware is slow, but it's not progressing like it used to.

Wish normal people witnessed how few innovations are being introduced on the CPU/GPU side in the 21st century. The high-performance software industry is low-key carrying the hardware architecture industry on its back. Shaders, pipeline

Thankfully Clevo doesn't think a bunch of printed circuitry can be patented, and gladly supplied System76 (guys who made Pop_OS! and sell laptops) with schematics.

20 years later, yes. Silicon is endgame. We'll never see 1970s-1990s levels of progress again.

20 years ago, computer magazines wrote about single-core 10GHz CPUs. Billions of transistors. What we have can barely be described as performance gains more than "add SIMD and more cores, and performance hacks".

It's not enough to produce something objectively good? If Linux was pay-for-source or non-GPL, it would be just another crappy UNIX clone with no outstanding features. It never would have been picked up by tinkerers and academia, let a
