What is happening?
Meowoem
Yeah it's frightening that there's literally a cult developing of home schooled zealots brought up on the wackiest conspiracies on YouTube. I was friends with a guy that was brought up by intese Jehovah's witnesses and even though he stopped participating and believing it took a long time for him to understand the stuff they'd taught him was crazy - like he was shocked that I believed in evolution because as far as he knew it was long since disproven.
The real problem was critical reasoning skills and learning skills, he had no idea how to verify information or seek out out from reasonable sources. I think we're going to get a lot of people in the same boat, except a lot more violent and terrified of the world.
Everyone says I'm dumb when I simp for a shitty corporation that exists on hype alone
It must be because I'm so superior to every tech community on the web and they're circlejetking
Lol
The problem is that's kinda true of pretty much everywhere so your choices are to isolate and only get lied to by your own politicians and corporate overlords or to accept the complexity of the world and try to work on moving forward where possible.
I do agree that this entirely greed based approach from the company is wrong but honestly I prefer it to your extreme xenophobia towards them. Yes there are issues with China just like all our countries have issues, they're not the devil though not by a long shot.
Please, can you point to a single person that's ever got aids without doing poppers?
Ha see I knew you couldn't, that's literally hundreds of millions of people you're pointing at and I said a single person, I win again lefty!!!
You're making up a lot of stuff, Xerox had a gui UI for a whole decade before apple and they certainly weren't the only ones.
The MP3 player they made was literally just a feature limited version of already popular devices. I got my arcos a year before the first apple device was released and it had every single feature that apple would slowly add in every new expensive version over the next decade
Apple does hype and marketing, that's their innovation - taking a feature restricted version of a technology and getting celebrities and media idiots to pretend it's the best thing in the world and actively ignore or discount the many better options.
That's not really true, it's there because the god in it is supposed to be his dad and that's where he gets all his authority from. What's the point of listening to jesus if his dad is a vile idiot?
The people who selected the books for the Bible would have very literally killed you for saying that those passages are abhorrent, and you could have been executed for the same crime for all over a thousand years after
It's a rare edge case that slipped through because the circumstances to cause it are obscure, from the description it was a minor bump and the software was updated to try and ensure it doesn't happen again - and it probably won't.
Testing for things like this is difficult but looking at the numbers from these projects testing is going incredibly well and we're likely to see moves towards legal acceptance soon
And those people are all people like Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson who are totally shameless liars and manipulators, all his 911 truth stuff led to stuff like the sandy hook denials and maga nonsence.
They do have a lot of rules in supplying aid to Hamas if you actually look into it, most the criticism of them proping up Hamas come from ultra right wing criticism of providing aid and medical support to Palestine.
If you believe all Palestine is Hamas it makes sense and you'd have to say allowing aid in is bad but I don't think you want that.
The capitalist mindset really is a weird one, rent seeking is out of control. We're talking about a tool that allows independent creators and hobby users to improve the quality of their projects but all you can think about is the possibility of getting a couple of dollars in royalties.
Regular users being able to use advanced noise reduction allows regular people to better compete with corporations, it's the sort of technology which can help displace the monopolies which rule the world. But you're against it because they didn't give you 6 cents for listening to your cover version of country roads
It's more a problem of all the human people want to live good lives, look at how many threads on the front page are talking about cost of living crisis and etc as serious social problems which need to be fixed - there's a thread where everyone says we should all be in walking distance to all key amenities, I bet they all think that the average persons wage should be able to afford to enjoy those things regularly too and have access to healthy fresh food, good clothes, etc etc
The world people want where everyone has access to a good life has never existed, even in America there is still generational and regional poverty but globally it's much more intense - it would be very unfair to say 'sorry we're not going to try and continue progress so you can live the same life I do, we're actually going back so you get less and work harder - it's not because further progress is impossible or anything but I personally don't really like new technology so, well, sucks to be you I guess.'
The technology which you're talking about carbon capture is an incredibly good technology and just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. It's not a magic wand of course but no one said it is, the uses with SAF and bioavailable carbon for example open up a lot of possibilities not just in rich nations but actually more so in developing nations allowing growth without oil infrastructure.
