  • Resistance from the tech sector against trump's facism

    Jump

  • I tend to agree, but not entirely.

    The point I was making here is you start sabotaging & can end up harming people that may have been allies. As they say, the road to hell is often paved with good intentions.

    Second, the more you start demanding people do what you want else you'll sabotage, attack them, etc... Your ideas really aren't that much different than those of fascists either.

  • I've been saying this for such a long time, the tech industry needs unions. It also needs crowd sourced legal assistance as well because it isn't going to be easy. They'll fire of course at first despite being illegal, then they'll want migrants that they can threaten with deportation if they don't comply. Even if Trump goes away, unions will be necessary to keep corporations accountable.

    Although I don't support sabotage for the time being & strongly oppose it in almost every way. It isn't just risky, but I feel many times it ends up legitimizing the groups you're trying to protect others from. I feel it would make matters substantially worse before the potential of making things better, but at that point you may have just invited the next generation of fascism to use your actions to justify theirs.

  • Kanye West Shares He Had a Sexual Relationship With His Male Cousin Until He Was 14

    Jump

  • Seriously?!? You can hate people for who they are now, but to make statements like this is an attack on anyone who has experienced sexual abuse or trauma at an age where they themselves lacked the decision making faculties we'd expect from adults. It doesn't mean they are gay, or that they even really consented in a way where they felt in control. I really hate to see people act like this, especially those that have no idea what it is like to become sexualized at such a young age... usually triggered by an adult who started abusing a child.

  • Why does it seem like so many (young) men these days flock over to types like Andrew Tate?

    Jump

  • This is pretty much the most accurate response here. People like Andrew Tate are a symptom of a problem we have in society as a whole. The cure isn't to block the symptom, because the disease is still there. The solution involves hard work & holding our own politicians accountable.

  • Yes & no. Sadly case precedent in matters like this typically favor law enforcement & prosecutors for multiple reasons. One of them being where they argue if they make the ruling retroactive, then thousands of convicts where they used similar evidence would also be eligible for appeals or dismissal. Another more messed up reason is that if evidence is obtained illegally, if it still "proves" a defendant is guilty, the courts have came up with certain exceptions where it can still be used.

  • It's always "think of the children" to these miserable control freaks. They'd force kids into a dungeon if they had their say in it.

    100+ Meta employees, including Head of AI Policy, confirmed as ex-IDF

  • I see you complaining about this being Kremlin propaganda... how'd you feel if Meta had hundreds of Russian Armed Forces employees?

  • Elon Musk’s xAI allegedly uses 'illegal' generators to power Colossus supercomputer facility

    Jump

  • Just like people never really sell drugs. Instead the person donates money to someone & they donate something back. Do you expect the court to accept that argument? If not then don't let them get away with similar arguments.

  • How did the conversation go from, "how do we stop students from cheating with AI?" to "we need to replace teachers with AI"?

    Jump

  • Because the teacher's aren't learning it did quick enough.

  • It isn't perfect by any means, but compared to Nautilus & many others, it still has a lot of benefits that make things quicker overall.

  • Depends on the game really but sometimes you have to spend a lot of time & research on things to figure it out. Great that it is open source but companies like Microsoft also work to sabotage efforts at times. If it has multiplayer with anticheat, you'll prob find a lot more instances where things don't work or require more effort.

  • For sure. Linux has a lot of great apps but there are times where it'll become incredibly frustrating. For example, file explorers can be basic & frustrating... The best you'll prob get is Dolphin.

    Jump

  • Damn Mexico is going to be more progressive than the US soon if it isn't already. I've been frustrated with house prices in the US too.

  • I said torrent because it is common to download & share content. My point was that I really don't fucking care if some pirates content. It doesn't influence how I judge them as a person.

  • I wasn't referring to you specifically... I was referring to the journalist that wrote this crap. It is pointless. There are actual character flaws like participating in dismantling the government & ignoring the constitution.
