It’s almost like running certain things for profit completely destroys them.

It’s both. They are unequivocally profiting from the cruelty.

This is why I switched everything to single disk ZFS. The ability to snapshot everything with zero downtime, including data in case I ever misconfig something, as well as replicate all of it to other ZFS drives offsite in the most efficient way possible — including encrypted data without transferring the keys — was a no brainier.

It isn’t a full backup strategy, but it has features that no other backup software can do anywhere near as easily or efficiently.

Especially conservative politicians… The undisputed kings of evidence based policy.

It looks like the cumulative total of plastics produced by the 80’s was around 2-3 trillion billion tons, whereas now it’s probably more like 20-30B.

It’s pretty funny that it still turned out to be the best Star Wars film since the OG trilogy.

Emshittification is required to bleed the stone dry.

Once they’re all in there they’ll claim “hamas is using the camp for terrorism” and just blanket it with 2000 lbs dumb bombs, while calling it a “precision strike”.

In the context of the US fascist dictatorship and Apple being the dominant smartphone there, starting with Apple makes sense.

If it can be done within Apples curated monopoly, it will be technically possible on Android (probably).

The AI anchor will never die, grow old, or grow a conscience. It can remain the perfect propaganda operative, A/B test in real time, etc, forever.

Too late. Dumped my tea and drank my piss.

“The solution to pollution is dilution” is capitalist propaganda to avoid paying for their externalities.

We live in an enclosed biosphere, and have been polluting it — poisoning it — well beyond what is sustainable for well over a century, and are continuing to peak ecocide every year, with no reduction in sight.

So yeah, we have microplastics in our balls and brains, are breathing air, drinking water, and eating food, with an ever increasing number of synthetic chemical compounds that are literally poisonous. What the fuck we think was gonna happen? Eternal youth?

Haha. All of your comments are shit. It’s like a masterclass in how to be a dickhead.

It’s probably more related to how the hardware stores the software; the strength of a memory depends on the strength (complexity) in the interconnectivity of neurons related to that memory. The more some piece of information relates to other information, the physically stronger the connection of neurons that make up that information become.

Prior to 3ish our brains are focused on the foundations needed to form complex thought and memories; sensory perception, coordination, time, language, etc. Once we reach a certain level of skill with those foundations we probably hit a threshold where new pathways are strong/complex/interconnected enough to last, and be continually reinforced or built upon, for a lifetime, to the extend they are unlikely to ever deteriorate without some TBI or neurodegenerative disease.

NOTE: not a doctor.

At this point I just don’t click any links in emails related to my accounts. I go directly to the website and login to perform the action. Emails are just a notification.

My washing machine has wifi and an app. I bought it because I read the manual and all networking is disabled by default.

Otherwise, for all appliances, get ones with the longest warranty, unless there is a significant difference in price.

Whoever commands the killbots will genocide the 99% and rule humanity, forevermore… until whenever general AI is achieved and the remaining humans are eliminated; they will have proven they can’t be trusted.

It’s almost like a core problem is capitalism itself…

That’s called a precision strike when committing genocide.

Under international law based on the Geneva conventions, a military force is forbidden to launch attacks that cause “incidental loss of civilian life” that is “excessive or disproportionate” to the military advantage to be gained.

So all of Israel’s actions since October 7 are a war crime… or does leveling a city of 2.3 million and killing tens of thousands of civilians, to rescue 100 hostages, sound “proportionate”?

It’s every billionaire and the corporations they own, and probably a majority of people with 50+ million. Basically the 0.01%.
