I’m not advocating political assassination - but it does amaze me that there are ~400,000,000 guns in the USA and nobody has even taken a shot at Musk yet.

There are significant patterns with Israel’s government protecting those who abuse minors, and more widely in the US within the orthodox Jewish community - not unlike the Catholic Church abuse systemic protection. It’s all rarely reported on, however this article & video discusses how the institutions are so disinterested in helping that citizen-run foundations are resorting to travelling to Israel and performing citizens-arrests to get any kind of justice for the victims - and this is only successful if the accused have offended in Israel as well as abroad.

Disagree, Wikipedia is a pretty reliable bastion of facts due to its editorial demands for citations and rigorous style guides etc.

Can you point out any of these personal fiefdoms so we can see what you’re referring to?

And the featured articles are usually quite large. As an example, today’s featured article is on a type of crab - the article is over 3,700 words with 129 references and 30-something books in the bibliography.

It’s not particularly unreasonable or unsurprising to be able to find a single error amongst articles that complex.

Nah you can turn the phone off once the video has started. I only know this because my kids have regularly failed to charge the ‘phone that we only use for Chromecast to the tv’ and it sometimes dies while they’re watching something. Keeps playing until the end.

You need the phone for any controls issued to the Chromecast like volume, subs, pause, seek, etc… But you don’t strictly need it once the video has started playing, presuming you’re not using any control commands.

No, because they are not hunting bird and small animal species to extinction.

They’re also part of the native ecosystem so anything they do kill is generally for subsitence, and not impactful to the ecosystem they’ve existed with for thousands of years.

Barn cats just kill for fun.

Yeah, fuck the local wildlife if it means you don’t have to deal with the hair of your pet being on your couch.

Joke not funny, advice dumb. People no haha, give better advice.

Judging by those advice posts being massively upvoted - seems most agree.

We identify the joke, it’s just not very funny

Or… They ban VPNs and overnight the VPN providers start offering cheap VPS services that can run a self-managed VPN over them, or proxies, or tor exit nodes, or Wireguard/Tailscale exit nodes, or… <The list goes on indefinitely and will be added to as needed by users>.

You can’t ban people running private servers and routing encrypted data through them unless you want to shut down 90% of the internet.

Its corner-cutting to save assembly costs. Plastic tabs take sub-seconds to whack into place vs screws which take 20+ seconds each.

Theyre saving ~$100 on your car assembly process and the end result is you have a vastly more annoying car to work on and repair for its entire lifetime. Its beyond annoying.

Next step: you must have a camera enabed to use YouTube so we can directly monitor your facial expressions with AI✨ and save you precious rating time to recommend you better videos!

But really so we can ensure you’re watching the ads.

I wanna say you’re wrong, because AI is absolutely not an essential service - like say a water or power company failing would be (or arguably banks). But knowing how deeply the AI tech bros have sucked up to and supported Trump I have to sigh and agree with you that they will probably be rescued from their own stupidity by the taxpayer.

WinDirStat imo is a better alternative - same functionality, much older and open source.

Wiztree borrows a lot from WinDirStat’s interface.

Article author doesn’t actually elaborate on what they mean precisely by “cut them loose” but from context it seems to be cut off all their federal funding.

Not even sure how you’d do that to be honest - even Trump’s admin has struggled to legally withhold federal funds from states he hates, the funding gets pushed through in the end by legal action. So you wanna out-crime Trump? Dumb article.

If the author wants to make bold demands then along with that comes the requirement of suggesting how to achieve them, else it’s just performative whining.

Depends if it’s a young tech coming up to fix their computer, or an older tech coming up to elaborate what the recent Capex request is for, because it just takes to damn long to write in email.

If it’s the latter then yeah that checks out.

Let’s run the job requirements list:

• amoral
• talks a lot about things they don’t understand
• comfortable with lying if it benefits their goals
• emotionless psychpathic traits
• uses enormous amount of resources for questinable gains
• good at manipulation
• bad at maths
• occasional racist outbursts on social media

Yeah all seems to check out. Replace the CEOs, AI can’t do worse.

Pre-WW2 use of the swastika: all good.

Post-WW2 use of the swastika, specifically in the context of this discussion (for armed service members in the western world): very, very not good.
