'The more I see of what you call civilisation, the more highly I think of what you call savagery.'

  • More important question is how you'll fight it? Protest nicely? I seriously see no other option beside popular counter assassination campaign.

  • I seriously hate the term "hybrid war", both Russian and western uses of the word, which are the same btw. It has serious blame other for what you constantly do to them vibes in it.

  • I still have only vague ideas what they even are and do and why they are special. Yeah, marketing, data brokering, spying, PR, social engineering, propaganda, but then how does that differ from Meta and Google.

  • The federal government is no longer the largest spender in R&D: It funded about 40% of basic research in 2022, while the business sector performed roughly 78% of U.S. R&D. While not a problem in itself, industry has simultaneously withdrawn from open scientific publication over the past four decades, shifting from research toward development. The result is a shrinking pool of openly shared scientific knowledge precisely as public investment in it also contracts.

    In US research spending has pretty much served to manufacture monopolies and patents for wallstreet and if they land onto something major, they can then proceed to collect royalties from the world for next X decades. You generally can't patent a new law of nature or something, so of course they shift away from basic research. Too bad the engineering and other sciences need that groundwork too.

  • Historically "retirement" was not a thing, you just moved to lighter tasks. People only really stopped working when they no longer physically and mentally could.

    The thing you say about rich old fossils and cold war relics running the west, is a problem though. Their age isn't per se the issue, them being out of touch pillars of the status quo and being generally oppressive is.

  • 5d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.

    I don't get where do they come with the logos and branding. While it's fair and just to give credit. I would understand this section as permission (if they were really mean about it) to leave any and all pages out of the fork and it wouldn't bind them to even have any UI attributions, to anybody, but if they have something like about or license page then that should contain licenses and attributions? That is as long as the work has reasonable attributions somewhere. Or does the license limit modification in those parts of the UI code? I don't think it does. I could be wrong.

  • No, no, no... Israeli morality starts from "who does" and "to whom does", not from "what does". No Israeli action can be wrong and no action by designated enemies of Israel can be good. Suggesting anything else is anti-semitism.

    A very important point.

  • The "Do nothing. Win" meme is in actuality a reference to Daoist concept of "wu wei", which is translated something like 'non-action', 'effortless action' or 'action without forcing it'. You just stay in your lane, keep going and victories big and small fall onto your lap. America is the one who is blundering around and supplying China easy wins.

  • Americans are so liberal that they have like ten words for it and every mainstream political opinion is just a type of liberalism.

  • And no EU official will even protest US actions, because they fear Trump will leave Nato.

  • Another "Do nothing. Win" moment

  • This is at the not-the-onion territory

  • The problem is also that a lot of uni/college studying for students is endless, (not always but often) unfun and almost ritualistic stream of homework essays of given topics, that you just have to do to pass, and many times you are also punishes for going outside the set box. It was this for me. This is just because the real point of isn't to learn, or really prepare for working life or profession, or academic career it's really to quantify the students learning for a purpose of a grade that leads to a degree. Essays are just the easy way to test handling of abstract ideas for a large amount of students. Then people whine that students now are tempted to turn to the magic talking box that can do the tedious and boring work for them.

  • It's really the audacity that gets you. Also he talked shit about Francis too. He converted in 2019 and has second guessed 100% of the popes after his supposed conversion. Also with issue that are not even controversial. 'War bad' isn't some radical catholic or even christian position.

  • yikes. Said by a converted catholic.

  • Every American company is loyal to the empire. If not by gleeful obedience then at least by threat of court orders and political pressure. I guess in Google's case it's that kind of gleeful obedience.
