Good if it cools down EU warmongering.

A kernel level anticheat is basically spyware in all but name and stated benign purpose. This if true is getting on the malware territory. Like who is responsible on the case of false positives.

Not such a bad idea actually. It’s not like Tinder or any other such platform want anybody to find a partner, because that would make them lose a customer/product. They just want maximum engagement on their own app, so everybody else but them loses. While it’s silly of course, but this is one of those things where public option would be good.

Pay my electric bill. Make no mistakes. Do not hallucinate.

Oh nononono :D

Nowhere an average police officer is willing to die for a random civilian on the job, that’s true. Also the profession pulls “a certain personality type” amongst it’s ranks no matter where you are. But US policing really is something else and a clear outlier. I look at France and their singling out of immigrants and actions of the riot police. They are still really fucking tame when it comes to how I see US police and how trigger happy, sadistic, cultish and seeming unaccountable they are.

It’s daily 3-5h outage at this point on all youtube channel feeds. About 3:00-7:00 AM Greenwich time.

Do note that while police historical existence is about property rights, the police have no legal obligation to protect any single individual is mainly an US and common law thing. While most of the worlds police have no duty to take a bullet for you, in majority of the world police still have an legal obligation to help anybody in need. At least when on duty and answering an distress call, in some places even off duty in a crisis situation. USA really is an outlier and their relationship between police and the public are especially antagonistic.

New missile gap?

Also it’s more that US munition stockpiles are running dry, drainage rate is increasing and their restoration will take years even if they would stop all their wars now. It’s not DPRK arming massively, if they are closing the gap with strike ability.

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.

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

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.

Talking about banning porn is just outrage porn for those for and against it. The point is to drive home surveillance state and most importantly drive discussion away from things that actually matter and the people in power desperately want people not to talk about or take notice. Modern liberal politics is very much an art of pretending to do something when actually doing nothing and just acting as the guarddog of even decaying society that has been politically hermetically sealed for the benefit of the top 1% funder class.
