> Pretty much all western countries are experiencing a crisis of democracy. Genuine question: what exactly is a "crisis of democracy"? I see this term thrown around all the time now, but all I can conclude is it's just par

That's fair. If one follows the path of least resistance, you'll end up eating crap.

All of the things you described are available, that's true, but any major supermarket, even in rural areas, will have plenty of healthier options available as well. Take bread for example. Sure there will be some crappy sliced white b

A vulnerability (that is presumably fixed after) is a lot different than an intentional backdoor. > I think this is a really bad epistemological stance in this case. Why? If one can't point to any evidence, how is it reasonable to s

Are you sure the difference didn't mostly come down to being a tourist in temporary accommodation vs having access to a familiar grocery store and your home kitchen?

Backdoors in the OS or firmware? I always use Linux, so I don't care what software it came with. If you're suggesting there are firmware backdoors, I'd like to see your evidence.

What's so great about Huawei laptops? I've been using an Asus EliteBook for the last 3 years. Despite taking a beating, the build quality has held up flawlessly and with 32 GB of RAM, 1 kg form factor, and great battery life, I ha

I just tried their Seek app with some pictures of tree leaves nearby and it failed to identify all of them. Some pictures even caused it to crash. Google Lens correctly identifies 1/3 of them and PictureThis 2/3.

Yes, and if I remember correctly, you get the Gaussian because it's the minimum entropy (least additional assumptions about the shape) continuous distribution given a certain variance.

I could, but considering how much value I get out of my laptop, I'd rather just spend $2-3k every couple years and have everything new. Thr value proposition just doesn't make sense unless I were a struggling student.

The idea of upgrading a laptop may sound great at first, but I don't think most people really want that. After 2-3 years, my laptop is pretty beat up from carrying it around in a bag daily. I usually buy premium laptops, but still the

For Android, Ironfox is currently the best option IMO.

Why are so many people paying for premium or even making an account at all? The amount and variety of free porn is already enormous.

That's an even more evil ad than the obnoxious and irrelevant variety because something related to my interests has a higher chance of successfully manipulating me.

I'm deeply disappointed in Mozilla's management as well, but as long as LibreWolf and IronFox exist, I still see it as the lesser evil.

> If you take care of kids, we the planet, have resources for you. That sounds nice, but who is going to decide exactly which behaviors to reward and by how much? To avoid grift and corruption, we should probably have everyone vote on it

I don't understand what these costs represents. The post focuses on SMS verification, which based on the general level of costs makes sense. A KYC-verified Binance account costs a lot more than they list. But if they're only cou
