You make it sound like the soviets were white lambs when it comes to atrocious internment of people. You should read up on the history of the soviets and their invasion of e.g. the baltics before the nazis took over and then were taken back again by the soviets.

Wiki:

The internment system grew rapidly, reaching a population of 100,000 in the 1920s. By the end of 1940, the population of the Gulag camps amounted to 1.5 million.

• 18,000,000 people passed through the Gulag’s camps[1][2][3]
• 53 Gulag camp directorates (colloquially referred to as simply “camps”) and 423 labor colonies in the Soviet Union as of March 1940[4]
• The tentative consensus in contemporary Soviet historiography is that roughly 1,600,000[b] died due to detention in the camps.[1][2][3]

I can recomment the Museum of Occupation in Riga (Latvia) as well as the Cheka/KGB Cornerhouse Museum.

My point is: Soviet soldiers knew the concept of draconic encampment in gulags and arbitrary death sentences.

Siri was acquired by Apple Inc. in April 2010 under the direction of Steve Jobs. Siri’s original release on iPhone 4s on Oct 2011 received mixed reviews. It received praise for its voice recognition and contextual knowledge of user information, including calendar appointments, but was criticized for requiring stiff user commands and having a lack of flexibility. It was also criticized for lacking information on certain nearby places and for its inability to understand certain English accents. In 2016 and 2017, a number of media reports said that Siri lacked innovation, particularly against new competing voice assistants. The reports concerned Siri’s limited set of features, “bad” voice recognition, and undeveloped service integrations as causing trouble for Apple in the field of artificial intelligence and cloud-based services; the basis for the complaints reportedly due to stifled development, as caused by Apple’s prioritization of user privacy and executive power struggles within the company.[3] Its launch was also overshadowed by the death of Steve Jobs, which occurred one day after the launch.

Between the release 2011 until today, it was simmering and never developed. It is crazy how such a bad implementation was carried on by apple so long. Over 14 years of failed promises.

It is a mental desease. If I hoard umfathomble amount of newspapers, I would be called a messi. If it is capital wealth, someone is a genius. They collect to fullfill an emptness in themself. It is a delusion. It is never enough and only the continiues ammassing can give them the feeling of success and control. Consumption as a Stimulus. It is not about the amount, it is about the growth. The way you took to the next number/amount. Distancing yourself further from the others. While getting confirmed by enjoying, what many can not affort. Wealth is the main storyline that is understood by every generation and culture around the world and is a globally accepted metric for desire and standing.

There is no Endgame. But a good perspective for them would be something like Elysium, while for us it is more like Gattaca - at best.

Weapon of Mass Distraction.

Using a real wooden Chair. For 20 Years now, I use a normal wooden chair for my PC Work instead of a office chair. If I want to turn around, I (my back) does it, not my chair. If I want to get closer, I do it, not my chair. Up? Down? Change sitting position. I have no scientific proof, but I feel like moving my own body, finding positions to sit and moving around on it did better to my back than sitting motionless in a padded office chair swiffeling around while my back degraded further and further. At least my office-chair-colleague around me constantly talk about back problems and then go and buy an even more expensive office chair where they even have to move less. But you want to move more, not less for your back to not deteriorate

Buy a chair where you yourself move with your back, not a chair that prevents your body from moving. Also, switch between standing and sitting multiple times a day if you can. Keep Moving. Keep those joints and muscles in motions.

I can see how nobody blew the whistle, leave his cushy job, prepare for 3-5 years of juristical drama exposing your name and image only to spend the rest of your live living in check notes… Russia.

I’m sorry for your loss

Black Death as a Viable Alternative for Cholera.

Is this rage bait? Those are different macbooks. I think the bottom ones are pros. My current Pro M2 has HDMI and magsafe. My M1 (Air?) is like the top one, but is not in fact a pro and therefore does not provide as many ports.

For me (europe) it is:

• 2,99 = 50GB
• 9,99 = 2TB

Everyone with a family or social life has between 20-200GB photos and videos. Notice how there is no plan for 5,99 = 1TB. You either do not back up everything and pay 3€, or you pay a tener per month to have a cloud storage that is always 50-70% empty but still have to pay for.

I will be the first to leave Apple iCloud if there is a viable solution that works like apples own OS integration without jumping through hoops and losing albums and meta data

Google Chrome’s uBlock Origin phaseout has begun

We also let American companies take control of industries.

It is the exact opposite. I do not know how old you are or where you lived the last 20 years but the reason for the tarrifs have a long backstory.

In the late 20th century, china created steel on a mass scale that plummeted the world price for steel to such a low price that every western country lost basicly their entire steel-work industry. While the US had a strong steel industry back then, today it is virtualy non existing (and the root for many right wing delusions). China was able to do this, because china can tell people where to go, how much to pay and subsidize the products to outplay everyone else in the market.

In the late 90s/early 00s, the same happened to the german solar/pv industry. While germany was the market leader, china slashed that by again laveraging their draconic labor market. Germany could have won that battle if they would also had shifted their entire nation to a dystopian, low-wage, authoritarian goverment - but they choosed to stay democratic, pay high wages, have federalism of their states and let the market and the people alone and not intervene into the life quality of their citizens.

The hope for the west was, that with trading china would eventually become more open, more democratic. The exchange of goods and knowledge would bring those two very opposite systems closer together over the long run. After the 2012 election of Xi, it was clear that this was not the case. The strategy failed. China became more authoritarian, closed themself off even more, still did not opened their markets for western companies (owing land, owning companies, freely distributing of goods and messages) and did tightly regulate the players in the market and the target to attack with cheap chinese labor.

Now we are in 2024. The west learned and is fed up with how china erode all the hopes and destroyed these western industries and take a different approach by excluding them from their markets. They try to protect what is left before this is as well ridden down to rubble by the chinese junk prices based on slave labour and the huge poverty layer china still laverages to underrun every world price. China came from a authoritarian communist system and knew they had to adopt the western capitalist thinking. They try to crush capitalism with their own wepaons by dumping the prices to a level, that it outplayes every western countries economies and threatening their social systems that way.

It is only fair and right that the west is not tolerating this any longer, while china raises the fire wall and propaganda even higher, appointed Xi to leader for life and cracks down on public dissent internaly by force, while piquing public dissent in the west by algorithmically spurring dissent externally (in the west) via their media strategies (tiktok, etc.).

legal tender

As far as I understood it in the last 20 years, it is only legal tender for debt facing the goverment. No private business has to accept cash. They do not have to accept cards either. If they wish, they could demand payments only in acorns or bottle caps if they wanted to. Only govermental Institutes (eg. for taxes, fines, etc.) have to always accept cash so you can always free yourself from outstanding debits without needing a bank account as bank wiring or credit cards are a private 3rd party business that can not be guaranteed for every citizen (as banks can arbitrary decline service to people).

L2 it’s one year old. A study like that takes time. What is your point? I bet if they would do it with L3 and the result came back similar, you would say L3 is „insanely outdaded“ as well?

Can you confirm that you think with L3, the result would look completely opposite and the summaries of the AI would always beat the human summaries? Because it sounds like you are implying that.
