  • 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.

  • Fox News analyst blames low birth rate on teens not having enough kids

    Jump

  • I don't know what's your point? By that metric human population got too high and over natural carrying capacity, when humans moved from hunter gathering to primitive agriculture.

    Humans are not reliant on nature's given carrying capacity since humanity has always created it's own environment and has adapted, engineered and invented itself out of multiple unsustainable ecological collapses through the advancements in the quality of means of production.

    And btw while I think it's shitty project to plan to increase teen pregnancies... Still, fuck anti-natalism and degrowth if that's your point.

  • Fox News analyst blames low birth rate on teens not having enough kids

  • But he is kinda right, despite the moral questionability and other social consequences of that line of thinking. Especially this let's lower age of consent. The birthrate decline is primarily about reduction in teen pregnancies. Women in their 20s and 30s are not having significantly less kids that previous generations, but teens are. However when it comes to the total child per woman the average age of becoming a mother is a major factor.

  • 400kbit/s is still kinda shitty

  • EFF is Leaving X | Electronic Frontier Foundation

  • And what is the actual work requirement to copy-paste you post to your twitter? Assuming that they didn't spend their social-media person didn't spend time arguing with people on X.

  • Leave Xitter, but keep facebook, insta, tiktok, youtube etc. Also us keeping using them is not an endorsement.

    And this is not hypocritical, why?

  • Iran War Chokes Off Helium Supply Critical for AI

    Jump

  • Yeah and they will keep begin bought by AI companies, even if the production sags. If the prices were unaffordable now they will be even more so if there is a real production choke. They can keep tossing few extra billions to keep the bubble going, you and I cannot compete with that.

  • It's not like its really used on AI inference, but it's used in high grade semiconductor manufacturing. so helium shortage will hit anything with a modern semiconductors in it. So it's not "whatever".

  • I was half expecting for him to end with remarks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki as other examples of surprises.

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

    Jump

  • I think they know that they have a shitty product that nobody asked and everybody hates, but they also know that corporations and institutions have their workflows and custom software stacks built on top of windows and therefore them and their workers are not very easily going to jump ship. Only thing they need to make sure of that they don't break 40 years of backwards compatibility. Understanding that, why the fuck not just milk people? If it backfires, then it backfires, but even then Microsoft makes more money on Office 365 alone than they do from Windows.

  • Ukraine Paves the Way for Pirate Site Blocking, Despite Ongoing War

  • Who do you think owns Ukrainian government at this point? They funded their own twilight by selling government property, land, resource rights and legislative favors to multinationals. Zelensky et. al knows who brought them to power and has kept them there.

  • Australia’s Social Media Ban Is Isolating Kids With Disabilities—Just Like Critics Warned

    Jump

  • The real issue is that most social media is for-profit addiction machine breeding more and more anti-social behavior, not that kids have access to it. This is just a another example that liberals are incapable of seeing any ill in rampant capitalism or much less intervene in it's mechanism for the common good. Everything is framed around profit seeking bringing out the greatest good and individuals choice. They are very at a loss when having to to do any systemic analysis why social-media has ill effects on social fabric. The best they can come up is that kids are not yet fully formed adults able to do the right choice, so they must be guided.

  • They mostly do that because they want control and maybe slowly reach their tentacles into projects. Like Chromium and Android are in theory open source, but in practice both are locked down by google and used for their business and mass data harvesting and advertising empire.
