whoah… please leave your relevant facts outside the sinophobia festival.

countries which are doing well,

lol phony metrics. the entire planet is burning.

Authoritarians controlling your sex life for the sake of a fascist breeding program? Upvote!!!

smh.

Where is the third thing? Open source software is left wing ffs. Proprietary software is extremely capitalist/fascist.

101. Script kiddies.

I’m somewhat ok with catering to a political filter

Ok maybe… if they told people that’s what they were doing.

Can’t control people without controlling things. And vice versa.

Zero surprise. Anybody who’s edited anything political on Wikipedia realizes that it’s completely gate-kept by libs and similar right-wingers to reinforce the “western” (white) hegemonic narrative.

Wow who would have thought that the most lazy, careless, planet-destroying regime on the planet would be lazy, careless, and planet-destroying!!! For the purpose of murdering people…

What’s the worst that could happen?

So existence is a net negative in your book? I’m fairly pessimistic but that seems somewhat extreme.

[feeling grateful for the gate at my housing complex.]

I’ve seen it around Africa. Usually related to where there’s a bunch of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

So it’s USA again. Usual bullshit colonialism.

Pretty sure jews didn’t own slaves back then. It’s a given that the roman enslavers are evil.

Science is a social pursuit that shouldn’t be credited solely to some priestly class of “scientists”. How many people have prayed for the sick over the years? That’s a major foundation for public support of scientific research.

Web(-5) just using an abacus and showing your friend out a window.

That website seems more like “Oracle is doing great” but only focusing on the shitcoin impact.

As someone who’s crypto-neutral, I don’t want to be too negative…

But this article talks about Bluesky and Mastodon. Bluesky is not decentralized and neither application uses any web3 technology.

Is there any actual web3 social media? It doesn’t seem like the best use of web3 (versus stuff like financial automation, etc.)

Capitalist enclosure always relies on the theft of public goods to create “private property”.

Why all the downvotes? This is a perfectly reasonable point. Sure, they both are wasting water. But I imagine that vastly more water is wasted on the torture and murder of animals. At least for now.

Why are so many people downvoting this basic and noteworthy fact? It’s gotta be anti-“AI” carnists trying to maintain some semblance of righteousness, right?

(FWIW I hate the “AI” grift and waste more than most people. I regularly post at fuck_ai, although I’m probably not brave enough to post this article there.)

Hell yeah I’m on there.
