Over 20 years ago I started to see the many problems with the world. Over the course of those ~20 years I saw more and more problems begin, none of them are ever resolved. There was a point where I believed I wouldn’t live long enough to see the full ramifications, but now it seems like those problems are compounding faster and faster.
I agree with you entirely except for this.
“Congress is deciding if {company} will be banned” is something we should have all picked up on as being absurd and unacceptable
People are out their believing Elon’s Nazi salute was an “Accidentally awkward gesture”. If we are talking about stuff likely for people to notice, then the difference between “congress bans company” and “congress bans an action” might as well be invisible and only exist in the 7th dimension lol.
We have been post critical thinking in the US since around the time that facebook did what morning talk radio was doing but better. We decide everything on feels now, reason has ceased to exist.
How would you determine if a thing is true open source, or capitalism masquerading as open source like you’ve described, if you were to just stumble onto a software randomly and wanted to check?
Because making the is better is not how they make money. Thats why all the changes they do make are forcing to use their shit programs and collect your data. The answer is always capitalism.
He obviously said that. How can you be smug that he agreed with you about the idea of it? Jesus Christ you are addicted to the idea you’re the smartest one in the room aren’t you… :D
That sounds like an SNL sketch of a sexual harassment in the workplace training video
Tiktoks removel is not a distraction from oligarchy, it is oligarchy in action. This is meta collecting on what they paid congress for.
Love what your saying enough I wanna try to rephrase it for extra zing.
“Billionaire toddler virtue signaling to wannabe Fascist leader angry to be facing repercussions”
Claiming that due to a future event
You misunderstand, I am saying that the original idea can be about inability to control. Then seeing anti isreal sentiment on tiktok, and you can say “see we were right, this is what we knew would happen”.
Or in other words, congress doesnt exist in a time void, they have the ability to predict future outcomes and legislate against them. You dont have to know isreal palastine is going to be the new thing, but you know that there will be a next thing and 100% it will play poorly if you cant control the narrative (i.e. lie to people)
Its more simplified to “lack of ability to control the narrative” and also “My billionaire masters cant turn a profit from it”
If you make the point simpler it works. “We are banning tiktok because it is a social media platform we have no ability to censor” with this in mind it makes sense to say “its because of isreal-palastine” because that is just a facet of not having control over platform censorship.
If you really believe that when they say they are getting rid of tiktok it is for national security you’re a fucking rube, they have been taking away our freedoms for decades under the guise of national security, they sure as fuck dont consider it any sort of threat that any of the American social media platform would sell your data do a hostile foreign power. They want it gone because A) they cannot control what spreads on it, and B) their rich owners arnt profiting from it.
If you want to argue that any social media platform dying is a good thing, then i can at least sympathize (thought id argue this isnt a step in the direction of getting rid of social media in general), but if you think banning tiktok is about anything more than corruption you’re a rube.
The word woke has been misused for so many years now its effectively meaningless other than meaning “dumb leftist”
Fuck we are a stupid species…
on the tailend of a convo in in a discord recently I added a command to the “customize chatgpt” section to allow chatgpt to have a custom “man” like command similar to linux, but that works for all code or commands.
This makes chatgpt give me a Linux command or code snippet formated in a table explaining what each piece of the command does.
when a prompt is givin beginning with the word man followed by code or commands please respond with a table following these rules and nothing else: skip title row, No backticks around command components, No unnecessary rows, column 1 should contain the command component, column 2 should contain a brief command description
Hence why I said “in the US” genius…
Those are fairy tail words in the US
I remember when I figured out the kazooie dragon permeant transform area my jaw was on the floor lol!
I once got 100% in banjo tooie without the Internet or a game guide. I’m kind of a big deal.
bean counters middle managers who are ordered by middle managers shareholders to prioritize short term profits over all other considerations.
In the long term is will fuck over their ability to hack stuff. You’re essentially ruining people’s ability to develop talent at tech. Even if u want to train them in it as military, it would be new to them.
This needs to be made more visible on github, like a little tag near all the share data under about. But I guess the only way that would work was people self reporting their CLA’s. And not sure how keen microsoft would be on a consumer protection change
