I literally didn’t quote anyone

Maybe add a comma after “protected speech”, I understood it as you saying that these are people abusing free speech.

I fully agree with you

Try jellyfin, it’s awesome

Yeah, and Jews in WWII would disagree with you.

It’s always easy to find a very specific group of people that are having a horrible time, that doesn’t mean that on average, humans live better and safer than in the entire history of humanity. Sure, the last 10 years saw a bit of a down turn, but thing are still way better than, say, 40 years ago.

I guess it’s hard to remember how really hard life could be

No-one is saying that all is fine. Yes, there are loads of big issues right now, but we’re still living better and safer than 99% of all the humans that have ever lived. We are not living Ina dystopian world.

Serious Question:

Why is Nvidia AI king and I see nothing of AMD for AI?

Well Nvidia sure did get rich quick

The point is hoping there are enough dumb people out there willing to pay for software that is freely available after you lie some to their face.

See also anything that Microsoft produces, they are a billion dollar company with that shit somehow.

Xkcd did something similar but afaik nobody made a big deal about it, only that Randall kept the depressed tone for quite a long time, after which people started to complain

Sooooo, I’m guessing the authors wife had a miscarriage, he made a strip about it and got mocked to hell and back? Wut?

Oh crap did I get old all of the sudden? What is the loss meme? I have no idea!

I don’t get it?

What is it with people here thinking that earning a wage is slavery? That requires either a complete lack of understanding what slavery or just some serious impressive mental gymnastics.

I associate corrupt authoritarianism with communism because it’s an inevitable outcome. Communism only works of you remove individual freedoms and force people into it. This, by design, requires a dictatorship. Dictatorships foster corruption because you can’t have transparency.

Why?

Yup

Who cares? The pedestrians in front of those monstrosities that will be chopped to pieces by that murder box. How the hell that thing can drive legally on any street is beyond me.

So when running a Linux desktop, what does one do to avoid these search engines? I use DuckDuckGo for the moment, but if love some alternatve that isnopen source too, self hosted if need be, and federated would be awesome

OnePlus, I think

Also known as: can we please stop pushing people into evil echo chambers by “moderating” them through auto ban because opinion we don’t like? Its not only men vs women, it applies to anything slightly divisive.

We wouldn’t need the super thick skin that is needed now if we hadn’t banned all the people back in the day for merely disagreeing. They went to more evil places and now, consequently, are more evil. We are kinda reaping what we sowed

Apparently there is no life in Mexico
