at the same time, how can you judge something so harshly if you've never experienced it yourself.

> a little better; the humans

em-dash instead of semicolon and your comment would give off AI vibes as well :D

i mean the Shinkansen has two classes as well :)

stunning buildings and patterns. not religious myself but i have to admit that lots of old, religious sites are absolutely beautiful. i just looked at images of some old mosques (not really a thing where i am), and they look gorgeous :) i get why they inspire you artistically.

are you muslim yourself or did the artistry itself pique your interest? just curious about it, hope that's not a weird question.

> while Y.C. took a six- or seven-per-cent cut

shamefully have to admit that my monkey-brain smirked because of an accidental 67-meme in a serious article.

wow. usually don't expect that the people i'm writing with are proudly and openly pro-genocide, my bad. we're talking about over a million people, you know.

What's your issue with the Rafah comment?

Rafah is probably not 100% gone, but it is basically gone. Majority of the people are gone and it's mostly a pile of rubble.

> did resign

oh no, they had to resign from their government jobs and in a year will work in the private sector as consultants for double the salary, those poor souls :'(

prison, fines, mental asylum, whatever would be an actual consequence.

a bit hyperbolic and reactionary from my side, maybe. but you get the gist.

that's just one of the examples/sources, here's more if you really care, https://counterhate.com/research/grok-floods-x-with-sexualiz...

also, using Musk as a source...yeah, sure. as if that's any better than sourcing his ex. if Musk says he's seen none then there are none, after all he never lies and always takes criticism about his companies seriously. good job playing down the situation, classy act. we're not talking about some difference in opinions here, it's about deepfakes including children. remember, it would be an issue without children being involved, that just makes it a magnitude worse.

dude, there was a huge scandal a couple of weeks ago about grok creating CSAM...

and now we're back to livecams, time is just a flat circle man...

maybe try to view this topic with a bit more criticality. i just quickly googled some keywords and am pasting the very first search entry so you get an idea:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sextortion-generative-ai-scam-e...

revenge porn or deepfakes in general are hugely harmful to people.

in the german-speaking world there's a scandal right now about a husband creating deepfakes of his wife, https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/christia...

> One fake video, which she claims was sent to 21 men, depicted her being gang-raped

i think you're taking this topic lightly because you just assume that it's not a big deal. try to keep in mind that people's mental health and with this their life is at stake.

as with lots of things, the problem is not the tech itself, but the existence of men. it's not all men, but it's usually men. not sure how we'll solve this issue.

It is...but it confirms people's imperialist mindsets. Fine to meddle with and dictate other countries, but how dare them to tell us what to do or not to do.

Threatening to invade Denmark and calling NATO a joke and weak.

A couple of months later blame NATO for not helping in a war you started yourself.

A fish rots from the head down :)

i love the cognitive dissonance of some USians in this comment section who believe in both of these statements:

"4chan is a US company operating in the US, sure it serves content to global users but the jurisdiction is the US, we have free speech, ..."

"Sure, Company X is operating in Europe, but it also serves US users so it has to respect our laws and it's warranted for the US to apply pressure and fines."

at least decide for one side of the argument instead of just going the blind patriot way.

One day some cool new IT tech will come out of Switzerland without it being an ETH Zürich thing. Not saying that that's a bad thing but it's almost comical how one can read such headlines, think "that's probably coming out of ETHZ" and be correct most times. I guess a lot of american IT comes out of MIT, Switzerland is way smaller so it makes sense that there's an even larger bias towards one institute.

Wonder how wide SCION will spread, so far it sounds like it's being used by the Swiss Financial Sector (ugh, even more stereotypical now).

so in order for vegans to be legit for you, they not only have to find alternatives for everything, constantly be on the lookout not to accidentally buy or consume products related to animals, no - they also all have to be eating healthy and organic constantly in order not to be phony fakes.

what a weird form of gatekeeping. at least they're using some form of ethics and trying to change the world in a way they're able to.

coming from a non-vegan, btw, even though this shouldn't even be a requirement.

> too far left wing

> biden

uhm...

added a whole new country, curious if my stuff will be added...

nice project :D

let's see if it turns into mashallah :)

it really is the stereotypical form of "it's not just this, it's actually that", and even an em-dash!

> Fox News [...] expert [...] nypost.com

surely a New York Post article quoting a Fox News "expert" will be factual, unbiased and not at all an attempt to pour more oil into the fire and manufacture consent to bomb a couple more girl's schools.

if "depropagandizing westerners and showing them the bad and ugly sides of the systems they live in" can be seen as destabilization, then maybe it is indeed time for some destabilization :)

investigative journalism, activism, historical game theory analysis. makes people smarter, and makes it harder for the elites to lie to their people.

your take gives me the same feelings i have about how we handle africa, asia and latin america. "We can't pay them fair wages and let them control their own resources, that would collapse our system", "sounds to me like our system is built on exploitation and oppression and deserves to collapse".

or the Charles-Henri Sanson method.

> brief couple-week spasm

maybe we have to start systematically hunting these people instead of one-off events :D

who am i kidding. consider myself a pacifist, talk instead of fight, find common ground and all that cute jazz. i feel powerless. murdering people will not change the system, too global and interconnected for this.

maybe us commoners really should start living like hippies. stop consuming from corporations, grow your own crops, start solarpunk societies. repair stuff. reuse. i don't know.

> It was careless, blatantly amateuristic, and lacking any ambition, to put it gently. Microsoft unworthy.

well, what should i say...

i wish that would be the solution. mind you, i am not only talking about the sexual abuse. there's also corruption, tax evasion(excuse me, *optimization of course), closed-door deals, arrangements etc.

i unfortunately don't believe we'll ever be able to vote these things away. what do votes do if we have over 3000 billionaires worldwide who treat the world like their playground. add to the 3000 the other thousands of people who "only" have 100M+.

good luck finding voters when the people with money can launch huge marketing(aka. propaganda) campaigns and control virtually every social media platform, news site, radio- and tv channel, podcasts and what have you.

something i only recently heard about and am thinking a lot about is, 'The purpose of a system is what it does'.

JE feels like a symptom, not a disease.

the financier's island files gave me a huge dose of this. i always got the feeling that laws don't really matter for truly rich people, now i'm convinced. which means that we need different methods than law to handle such people.

yeah, some people are weirdly giddy about finally being able to throw socially-acceptable slurs around. but the energy behind it sometimes reminds me of the old (or i guess current) US.

i encourage everyone here to try a tiling window manager like i3/sway on Linux to experience a snappy way to manage window (sizes).

on MacOS i will never not use something like rectangle, the out-of-the-box experience on MacOS has always been dogshit in my opinion, it just screams for a third-party software to do the heavy lifting.
