    Amazon’s Middle East data centers damaged by Iran drone and missile attacks will be down for several months during repairs

  • It's nice to see that at least one billionaire who put Trump in power is facing direct consequences. And I don't think it's lost on the Iranians that they're targeting the true power structure in America.

  • Just some context: Ancient Aliens is racist. It's roots are literally Nazi.

    You see, it's only achievements in brown countries that need alien help. The Greeks didn't need ET for the Colosseum, heavens no. We just scratch our head at Africans or Americans building pyramids and stuff.

    In the 30s, Nazi "researchers" believed in something I'll call "Ancient Aryans" which is exactly the same as Ancient Aliens except it's pure Germans who are visiting these primitive cultures and raising architecture. What happened to the Germans? They were annihilated by in-breeding with locals of course.

  • "All my fundees have blue eyes." Epstein and the tech world's dark ideology

    Jump

  • Eugenics has always been a popular idea, all you have to do is call it something else.

    In internet culture, the movie Idiocracy (2006) is extremely popular and the most common sentiment is that it's coming true. It's a cute move, but it's central premise is Eugenics: the idea that if humans are allowed to breed naturally, it'll lead to societal collapse. There are so many online people who think that movie represents how evolution works. It's scary.

  • Is the DNC Giving Kamala Harris a Boost for 2028?

    Jump

  • You know it took 80 years between the time someone who looked like Obama could vote, and the time that someone who looked like Harris could. It shouldn't be surprising that this same pattern would appear in electability.

    Harris probably can't win, but it's not her policy or resume'. It's her vagina. Because at the end of the day, two women have run for the chair, and Trump beat both of them. Maybe their weakness is the obvious thing they have in common?

    Harris lost because America is such a misogynistic country, it's a problem on the left too.

    If you disagree, then please explain why Harris' weaknesses don't apply to the (cock having) Joe Biden. I don't remember Biden being a socialist hero, but he was still able to defeat Trump without leaving his basement.

  • AI may be coming to Windows 11’s Clock app as Microsoft turns it into a focus tool

  • Try to remember that progress is not linear. Rather, it is a constant pattern of three steps forward, two steps back.

    That's funny, because I have studied history and the idea of "progress" being inevitable is an article of faith by people who happened to live in times where technology changes quickly. As you point out, society is much more sticky.

    Human history features century-long periods of stagnation and decline. That's the norm. And there is no reason to think that can't happen again.

    I also want to point out that successful social movements are often aligned with the interests of capital. For example feminism expands the labor force. I think the role of capital's acquiescence or encouragement is an often overlooked engine of social "progress" in the West.

    I guess what I'm saying is History can be comforting, so long as you ignore philosophy.

  • My wildest dream is to die in a world that is marginally better than the one I got born in. At this point I'd settle for marginally worse, since catastrophically worse is a real possibility.

  • Which computer-related belief do you hold without any foundation?

    Jump

  • Every-day pedestrian computer tasks should be easy to complete with the keyboard only. Mice were bad enough as a crutch for lazy users, but now it's a crutch for lazy developers.

    Let me pick on Mozilla for a second. In many of Firefox's menus, they have alt keys. You know, an underlined letter in a word that you can select by holding the alt key and pressing that letter. In FF, many of these letters are capitalized. So now you have to press shift+alt+whatever letter. Criminally bad design.

  • Murdering people and stealing their land is way older than Jews, Abraham's God, or the Old Testament. The reasons are always the same, why do we focus on the justifications?

    The difference between Manifest Destiny and Zionism is academic; I don't need to know how a monster thinks of it'self.

    What is your favorite conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • My favorite is a pamphlet printed and distributed by Sam Adams warning the white colonists of the King's secret plan to make them slaves.

    I like this one because it reminds me that conspiratorial "thinking" in American politics is not a new phenomena.

  • Humanoid robots to become baggage handlers in Japan airport experiment

    Jump

  • Humanoid robots are as dumb as a bag of hammers. It's like when the first automobiles looked like carriages because that's what everyone was used to.

    The only practical reason to make a robot look like a person is so you can fuck it. That's it. Every other task can be performed better by removing human limitations and complexity.
