so first you ask

> Who is being anti-social?

then you continue:

> I neither crow nor care what happens to thousands of people, why should I.

Everything you say is true but obviously I am talking about the people putting their Schadenfreude on display.

Do you think Berliners are happy that the referendums they voted for are getting ignored? The current mayors party has the lowest approval ratings ever. The current chancellor of the same party is the most hated in German history.

And then come some big-shots here talking about how it's well-deserved that a city of 4 million people got hacked and who knows what data leaked.

Interesting how all those flagged comments contribute nothing (as does yours), are gleeful in an antisocial way about leaked data, and the accounts posting them are all less than a month old (including yours).

Obviously not to fascists, and if you look at their website they make it very clear that you need to align ideologically and explain why and how you will use their services

It’s a sad day when antifascism is considered not mainstream

The question stays the same: “are you antifa or are you fa?”

i remember when, after 9/11, the US introduced webcams and fingerprint scanners, at airports to take pictures of incoming travellers and Brazil had a similar lo-fi response, with ink blots and cameras only for Americans. Something like this needs to happen more and everywhere now.

Pretty sure vegetarians and vegans both are against the killing of animals, so don't know what you are trying to argue. And yes it is very much a spectrum that (very roughly, and not exclusively) goes from: cannibalism -> eating animals -> eating animal derived products -> eating only vegetables and fruit -> eating only vegetable and fruit that fell to the ground without being picked.

And I find it ironic in that you are kind of proving the point, by painting it as a black and white issue. This is what the "extremism" means to me. Another form of that spectrum could be: Endangered species -> wild animals -> farmed animals. Do you think it would be as wrong to kill the last specimens of an animal that is about to go extinct as it would be to kill an animal that has been bred over thousands of years and could probably not survive in the wild on its own? While i am against all killing, when presented with this choice the answer is pretty clear to me.

And you even made a similar distinction yourself in another comment here:

>I hope people say the same about all animals, but especially mammals.

So again, not sure what you are trying to argue.

Vegetarianism, in Europe at least, requires one to be open to a different diet than what one is used to, usually going against social and cultural norms due to a personal conviction that is reached by analysis and reflection, while veganism brings that to the extreme

> That's not even close to an accurate number now.

that wasn't even accurate on the day he got elected, considering a third of the country did not vote at all.

Compare the palestinian territories in the first and last slide on that image and the story told is exactly the same.

It's the first result when searching "israel over time" on google images. All other results tell a similar story.

It would be a great starting point if human felt moral responsibility towards other humans, before we take on the matter of ethics towards non-humans, simulated fireflies or LLMs. Yet here we are.

Ok then at the very least allow for a toggle to turn those algorithmic “recommendations” on and off

There are currently not many sources in English about this event. There are multiple German articles coming out about this right now:

https://www.heise.de/news/Cyberattacke-auf-Berliner-Verwaltu...

https://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/wir-sind-praktisch-arbeit...

Multiple people on the r/berlin subreddit are saying they can not apply for voting by post for the next election, on the 20th of september.

or, you know, you could provide some arguments to back what you're trying to say. But I guess we shouldn't expect that much from a 5 day old account named smalllangmodel.

I am not saying that it's harmful I just find it hard to explain or relate my experience of sitting meditation, having only "internal aids" (the breath, the body, or thoughts themselves) rather than external aids or activities like running. I also know what the flow state feels like when doing sports, playing music, drawing, etc, but to me that experience is something very different than just sitting. That difference is what I find difficult to convey.

I never know what to respond to people when talking about meditation and they mention something like running/playing guitar/reading/etc is their meditation. I don't want to diminish their experience or sound like a contrarian but also know that

> doing something is not meditation.

so usually those conversations end with a "hm yes that's nice too"

> all kinds of mushrooms/(and bugs)

And cannabis. It's hippy heaven.

Well companies are starting to put hidden ads in text content if the user agent is an AI crawler

> what is happening right now?

I assume they are referring to LLMs escaping confinement and hacking other companies systems unprompted

> considered a reasonable price to pay

That's not a universal opinion and perhaps, just like for LLMs, we should have listened to the experts rather than gobbling up everything the industry pushed down our throats (to keep your car simile: SUVs are now ubiqutous in all European cities, there is no logical reason that should be the case)

> provided signals for these big companies to course correct

We're on the subject of Zuckerberg: facebook is the poster child for enshittification. Do you think the idea to stop showing you your friends pictures and replace them with ads and ragebaiting short form videos came from the users?

> people have acted the way I'm criticizing.

You are ignoring the myriad of billionaire fanboys and enablers for whom the only metric of success is a persons net worth.

Looking at the state of things I don't think these people are deserving of nuance, in fact they've had it way too easy.

> those in power will just learn to ignore us.

This has already been the case for at least my whole lifetime. So no, I don't feel like praising them when they do one seemingly "good" thing, while simultaneously doing 99 "bad" things.

atem also means breath in German

With Herr Merz at the helm this should hardly be confusing for a German. Let's not take the high ground here, we don't deserve it.

Don't worry they are now starting to wake up and realize that Trump has been lying to them so they will vote for Tucker Carlson in the next election.

you are being too charitable, they are both.

> it's still relatively easy to get the scoop on stories

Cue Truth Social 100k/month early access plan to see Trumps tweets before anyone else.
