  • ‘They Couldn’t Break Me’: A Protester, the White House and a Doctored Photo

    Jump

  • While President Trump and the White House regularly circulate imagery altered by artificial intelligence, including demeaning and racist deepfakes, it is usually so over the top that the goal seems more about cartoonish mockery than outright deceit.

    The photograph of Ms. Levy Armstrong was different. It ​h​as the hallmarks of brazen disinformation from the top level of government: smearing and humiliating one citizen in order to influence public opinion, while sending a warning to other critics to beware of crossing the administration.

    Remember this when they say "libruls cant take a joke"

    a misleading description of Ms. Levy Armstrong as a “far-left agitator”

    lol, everybody who doesn't lick The Don's boots thrice gets that moniker.

  • Big Oil, coal and other shit have been worming their way into US education for decades, spreading lies, esp. against climate and environmental action. I once listened to a long podcast about this, interviewing parents etc. It was very interesting, and very depressing.

  • The upgrade argument for desktops doesn't stand up anymore

    Jump

  • You nailed it, except "huge generalization" is actually being generous. The article is simply wrong. The author is speaking esoteric technobabble:

    The upgrade death spiral (...) happens because upgrading one component of your computer can unbalance the system.

    It's the sort of argument a husband might give his not tech savvy wife when she asks why he repeatedly needs to spend so much $$$ on something only he uses.

    I think FOMO says it pretty well, or simply consumerism.

    Now that hardware is getting more expensive again, this is really sending the wrong message.

    And OP keeps doubling & tripling down despite basically every comment disagreeing. I think they wrote that article.

  • The upgrade argument for desktops doesn't stand up anymore

    Jump

  • Aye.

    And OP is doubling down.

  • Not sure what "future proof" means, but my PC still has its original case from Windows Vista times, has seen 2 mobo replacements, 1 PSU replacement, and I don't even know how many hard drive / SSD additions / swaps. RAM extensions too. Used to have a GPU but after the 2nd mobo/CPU replacement I dropped it.

    Different screens, keyboards, and mice.

    None of this would have easily been possible on a laptop.

    In a world where hardware is getting more expensive again you are really sending the wrong message here.

    Not to speak of environmental impact & consumerism.

  • The upgrade argument for desktops doesn't stand up anymore

    Jump

  • CPUs are the same with real performance needed a new chipset and motherboard. At that point you are replacing the whole system.

    I find the quoted statement untrue. You still have all peripherals, including the screen, the PSU, and the case.

    You can replace components as and when it becomes necessary.

    You can add up hard drives, instead of replacing a smaller one with a larger one.

    Desktop mobos are usually more upgradeable with RAM than laptops.

    There's probably more arguments that speak against the gist of this article.

  • Melania Trump Boasts Her Flop Documentary Will Have Spinoff Series

    Jump

  • A spin off the great documentary that has the cosmopolitan charm of an airline advertisment? I'm sitting on hot coals!

    Srsly I thought she had slightly more intelligence than her husband, but apparently The Endgame Grift is infectious.

  • A 'Terrifying Line Is Being Crossed,' Warns Minneapolis Mayor as More ICE Horror Stories Emerge | Common Dreams

  • "We should all be standing up and saying that’s not OK. Literally, listen to what they’re saying. Active threats like, Turn over the voter rolls or else, or we will continue to do what we’re doing. That’s something you can do in America now."

    And from the original NYT interview:

    I spoke to Frey on Thursday afternoon, not long after Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan — who has been dispatched to Minneapolis to replace and clean up after the operation’s original commander Gregory Bovino — promised to de-escalate the situation there. He said in a news conference that there would be a drawdown of agents, only to have President Trump later deny that there was any plan to pull back.

    It's this type of dissonance inside the admin that gives me hope.

    There's also a YT video.He has some pretty good answers to the interviewers annoying, pushy and leading questions.

  • This Trump claim is so absurd it deserves only absurdity in reply

  • I don't think the 0.001% are free either, but I get your point.

    And yes, this grand project of cowing the masses has been going on for a long while, and especially in the US of NA. Just look at what Big Oil did, all through the past 100 years.

  • Pro-Russian Narratives Target Wikipedia, Marking a Dangerous Trend for AI Chatbot Data

    Jump

  • As soon as you leave English language wikipedia this happens fairly often. Not necessarily Russian, maybe adjacent. And not since yesterday! I noticed around Corona, and it's been a problem for way longer. It's relatively easy for 1 editor to slip through unnoticed if there isn't enough eyeballs on the article, and hey they can write what their overlords tell them unchallenged.

  • "No more teaching of critical thinking skills"?

    I have to see how the admin phrases that.

    “We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.”

    Yep, they said it. Unambiguously.

    That was in 2012 btw.
