In short Scott Cawthorn the creator donates a lot of money to political campaigns. Per his explanation a strong military is his single issue vote. Which has him throwing money towards people like Mitch McConnel, Tommy Tubberville, Trump and Tulsi Gabbard.
I would also vote in that direction.
I get the concept, it’s basically the same issues in like Harry Potter or Five nights at freddies. IE a lot of LGBT people like these works, but it’s also unquestionable that the profits that the works make, are used to bolster hate against these groups, even if the works themselves are not harmful to them.
So yes I also go with this camp, platforming non-hateful work made by hateful people still supports hateful creators and allows them to amplify the hateful message.
That said this is lemmy. We have the means here. If lemmy world comic strips want an open door “as long as the comics posted themselves aren’t hateful it’s allowed”. Perhaps someone should make a Comic Strips on a different instance, and lemmy users can vote with their feet.
I mean I’d have to say, it is a sizable portion of americans. IE the whole selling point of tarrifs is to encourage manufacturing and jobs to move over here. There certainly is a significant amount of overlap between people that want more manufacturing in america that also widely want minimum wage to stay the same or even go down.
Now obviously this ven diagram isn’t a circle, there’s plenty of people that do actually want products to be made by people making enough to live on, both not screwing over labor in the global south etc… or in the US.
Oh it’s ok, my buddy told me lemmy auto censors your password. it shows as a real password to me, but to you guys it’s all stars. Just like in IRC.
Right but not only is it a security weakness, but it’s also not helpful to the user. Point is the username probably exists in the system.
Say I went to a website to register TheFogan, but TheFogan already exists, so I created TheFogan2.
3 years later I go back to the website, try and log in with username: “TheFogan” password: “Hunter2”, and it tells me “your username is right but your password is wrong”. But in reality I have the right password for my account, but the site would just think I have the wrong password for the guy who beat me to my account.
So yeah agreed the primary reason for it is security, IE a fully user focused, while having bad security practices would be, a "if the username exists in the system, report “Username and password don’t match”, if the username doesn’t exist report “There is no user by this name in the system”. My point is the site only can know if they have a user by that username, not whether that is MY username.
I mean that’s great and all but a real source would be nice. Someone who was a kid speaking nicely about someone accused of harming kids, isn’t an exoneration. That’s like Kanye saying Nick Fuentes isn’t racist.
Note not taking either side on the topic. I don’t know or really care that much on MJ, an actual useful source would be say an epstein letter where epsteins announcing they want to make MJ look guilty. Fully plausible that MJ’s scandal was a combination of people saying he’s weird, with a few chasing a paycheck. But someone who fits the demographic saying “I was around him for years and I was never abused”, is IMO not evidence.
yeah real question how would the website even know. Whole point is to match the 2 things together. Is hunter2 my password, well that depends who are you, we’ve got plenty of users that have that hunter2 password
and out, that’s really the key problem, we don’t know shit about it, because literally propoganda is all we have. China at least we have some level of communication and shared dialog between regular american citizens and regular american chinese citizens.
I mean peer tube and similar exist. I think the majority of channels with over a 25k views, I don’t think there’s a consistant number anyone gets, but something like 100 bucks per 25k views or so is pretty common.
Biggest thing that I think is pretty badly phrased… is linux “system requirements”. considering in the windows world if you try and install with less than the required ram… the installer will usually stop you.
While in ubuntu they may say “requirement” but it’s a recomendation. You can install 26 into a VM with 1 GB of ram… and it will run. Really nothing in this version of ubuntu is more resource hungry than the previous version. So in short them boosting the number is just saying “if you use a typical amount of tabs open in your browser, 6gb ram is kind of needed”.
So yeah I’d say most likely the fair way to put it is, windows 11 will let you install on 4gb of ram… but most would say it’s very unusable even at a basic level with that, you can run ubuntu with that… it will probably not be a great experience, but not as bad as windows until you start running into large web apps or tons of tabs.
Heck OS’s really could just have an “overhead” kind of number or something. Because that’s the real thing, what you need is system specs that can handle your
system kernel + system services > Interface (be it terminal or gui) > application (and if that application is loading external sources like web pages, add that in too).
Point is your “minimum” line, should stop at what you consider the default parts of your distribution. IE interface and below.
Obviously no one is using it without applciations, but we don’t know what applications people are using. It’s not like we do this for storage. IE we aren’t saying "ok yeah everything we included is within 5 GB, so we’re setting the requirement at 200 TB because you can’t be a video editor without that much space.
I mean it’s a mixed bag… I get the idea of nothing should be removed, blocked, downvoted etc… as the ideal of free speach.
Right up until you look at every platform that explicitly avoids it and goes full “We’re all about free speech!”.
IE huge problem is, the first people to jump to those platforms, are the ones that have been banned for good reason from everywhere else. Which of course means… nazi’s come in droves Reasonable people that either have less borderline, or perhaps no borderline thoughts get there… see 500 posts from nazi’s, and head for the door imidiately, until it just turns into a nazi echo chamber.
Fairly not super experienced on things. but how viable is a layered system, does it just prohibitively slow or storage consuming or is it moderately feasible to say double encapsulate everything.
What cracked me up is someone tried asking one of the AI’s “is isreal run by the jews”, and it responded that is just an antisemetic conspiracy theory and completely false.
I view the general problem with it is simply the existence of other societies.
IE lets say you have 4 societies on an island. 3 of them put all of their focus into developing a sustainable workable long term solution, farming/fishing etc…
1 of them, works on building weapons and attacking the other 3. Result, the murderous colony kills the other 3, then eventually either learns to act like the ones it killed and produce food, or it dies out with nothing left to raid.
Or like say rabbits, if you try and raise rabbits. You drop 2 in the wolf enclosure and see what happens. obviously the result is the rabbits die out. it’s not that rabbits aren’t a viable evolutionary path. It’s that without time and space to grow their numbers before getting encroached by the nearby predators, there’s no shot.
Point I’m making is… the biggest problem of developing any system, that works better on the whole. is outside interference. It’s the same concept that say modern manufacturing would make smaller and lighter cars better and far more cost efficient. They would be safer except for the fact that they wouldn’t survive a collision with an SUV. It’s not the smaller lighter car that’s the problem. It’s the established systems with their flaws are integrated into society.
Also western propaganda. Russia isnt ‘taking’ anything theyre liberating Ukrainians who have been under the rule of an illegitimate empire installed government since 2014 and have already voiced they want to be closer to russia
Ah yes good old liberating the people, kind of like when Iraq and Venuzuela hailed the united states as liberators,
best I’m finding on that polling is https://www.kiis.com.ua/?lang=eng&cat=reports&id=236
To which, almost 70% supported open borders and friendly relations with russia, with absolute seperation and complete mergers both being under 15%.
Also if they wanted to just let russia have ukraine why haven’t they done another revolution like they did their pro russian leader that tore up the EU negotiations they had.
North korea can be propogandized like crazy because… unfortunately one of it’s defining traits is preventing it’s people from talking to the world. Ukranians seem pretty darn determined not to be “liberated”. Hell I’d imagine the war would be over pretty darn fast if the ukranians wanted it. White flags, surrender, get captured to protect themselves if their government is making them fight by intimidation.
Pretty big chunk of rare earth minerals.
Yeah the big thing to me is the problem of the invader. Honestly on the grand scheme of things I dont’ care who does what… but what really needs to happen is, people need to stop going on the offense. US, Isreal and Russia are currently all the ones leading attacks in other people’s territory.
I’m happy for China in their "my way works, watch me sit back and show you how successful I can be in normal peacetime. When a nation has to raid other nations for their resources or land, that’s IMO demonstrating what you have is unsustainable.
Ukrain take or leave it’s intentions how good or bad it is. what’s clear is showing the idea that russia can just take it, is in itself a bigger problem. Just like Iran, I have zero sympathy for the government of Iran, I consider them barbaric and horrible. That being said directly attacking them, is a horrible action.
I mean it’s a grey area there… I think the overall propoganda created after vietnam (Rambo movies etc…), helped people learn to seperate and understand that a war can be wrong, and the soldiers can be good people serving their country.
IE maybe it’s the bubbles I live in, and most these memories are pre-trump, but I heard no shortage of people that could go off for hours on how horrible the war on terror was, how stupid and monsterous bush was to send so many to kill and be killed, and still go out of their way to say “thank you for your service” to men coming back from iraq.
I mean it’s worth saying that the new bots are kind of a different league to the old bots.
Based on cawthornes votes etc… I’d say the concept he has is more money going into the millitary budget, and more pre-emptive actions abroad keeps us safer back here.
Fully completely disagree with it a thousand fold. Had we not stuck our noses into the middle east so much 9/11 would never have happened (and I’m just working with what had happened at the time of cawthrons controversy rather than the obvious much more recent iran nonsense.
