It's funny how people only question who owns an outlet when said outlet has the gall to report the truth . You never see people question the gaff that garbage like VOA or NPR spit out on a daily basis. (Also: look up '61% of isra

I wouldn't say 'might'. He already is. A supermajority of techies wholeheartedly believe in Thiel and Thiel's 'mission', even if they don't realize it yet. The rot has been here all along.

So long as the same incentives stay in place, we're going to get the same results. Change the names yet it's all the same.

Being sent to an active war zone like South Sudan after being stripped of all my belongings and goods with no way to get home or communicate with anyone doesn't seem like much of a functional improvement to me.

I guess so, given that we'll never know what he actually did. The punishment was sort of excessive, I agree. I'm mostly trying to make light on the fact that trying to validate outlandish propaganda by using an event which actual

It's funny seeing how the same people who scream and whine about the media being 'biased' whenever they report on some awful shit that Trump did (even when it actually indirectly paints him positively) will unquestionably bel

Ok, so let me get this straight. Some foreigner came into their country and tried to 'illuminate' the 'unwashed' masses via tearing down propaganda and was promptly thrown into some hellhole of a jail. Seems to me like a

Yes. Apart from the fact that IQ tests are racist bunk, there's no need to do some fancy self-discovery journey or anything to determine whether you're cut out for pure math or not: if you have to ask, then it's not for you.

It's not impossible . Maybe through UBI or something. Realistically? That was probably an AI-generated response and never meant anything.

> “The bottom rung is disappearing,” she said, > “but that has the potential to uplevel everyone.” I love this quote. It's a hard, cold fact that this is never going to happen under our economic system. Pretty boring puff-piece

Europe only developed this way because of the immense ideological and moral pull the Soviet Union had over the populace. Capital and the ruling classes feared revolutionary intent so much that they had no other choice than to give in and g

Taiwan is not only subsidized by the US as a bulwark against China, but saying there's no need to compromise on human rights is a fucking joke. Taiwan is a militantly far-right dangerous country which has colluded and collaborated with

How fun. The worst part is how many people are wholeheartedly clapping and cheering about this entire deal. AmeriKKKa is a sick place populated by bloodthirsty monsters. I wouldn't even care that much if they weren't the number on

There is no such thing as an unalienable right or as a human right. Rights are simply the expression of the interests of certain classes at a certain point in time. That said, I struggle to find "free speech" a compelling inaliena

Is it really? I think any potential competitors face many of the same pitfalls as, say, Chrome competitors do. Maybe even worse. Google slams its weight around when web standards are being designed so as to unilaterally benefit Chrome, but

It's really not that hard to achieve a casualty ratio of 1.2:1 if you consider groups like <1-year-old babies and patients on life support as 'active combatants'.

The "sane center" is a dying fantasy only kept on life support by the DNC to justify the same old mummies holding on to their last vestiges of power as everything burns down around them. There is no compromise that can be made her

It's always the same thing with you types. Grasping at words like some kind of hyper-logical machine trying to find some magical logical fallacy that will somehow invalidate the speaker's entire argument. Let's set facts here

Frankly, I just don't see how any sort of optimism can survive the moment you step out of the house. It goes beyond the internet. The real world is an excruciating parade of torture, and no amount of self-platitudes or of positive thou

The old-guard rich people don't, that much is true. But the middle classes sure as hell are. There's the fact that Chinese companies are basically hoovering up all the talent. In Latin America, Huawei alone eats up entire graduati

It is kind of extreme. I personally daily drove the OG Pinephone for about a year-and-a-half, back in 2020. I bought in during the postmarketOS edition. I'm still dealing with the fallout from the choices I made in order to conform wit

South America is also having its Trump moment currently, even if it's not as extreme. But with Milei in Argentina, Noboa in Ecuador, Bolsonaro in Brasil and the upheaval in Chile and Colombia, there's plenty of far-right stupidity

To be entirely fair... have you seen who's headlining the AI startup school pinned at the bottom of this site? It's Musk. Rather obviously they're going to try avoiding alienating him as much as possible.

I agree wholeheartedly. Honestly, I wish I had been taught that lesson early, so as to internalize it profoundly. Even with a lot of discipline and self-control, going through each and every day without mind-altering substances at hand is p

Sounds like they forgot to do their market studies. The whole boondoggle is happening because many Fedi instances are ran by those very same enthusiasts. They chose to settle on Fedi for various reasons, and I’m pretty sure Meta transgresse

It’s either misdirection or they think things like the NYT or CNN are ultra far-left. YouTube is REALLY reticent to recommend LW content. I just opened an extremely LW video and the recommendations are stuff like Piers Morgan (with Andrew T

Even without taking into account the time investment in maintaining your own infra, it compares favorably with everything else. Even the most dirt-cheap VPS is a few bucks more expensive on a yearly basis by itself, and you still have to bu
