Point is it’s a stroke of a pen to change the priority… One president or one DEA switch away. The supreme court upheld Roe V Wade which was why it wasn’t important to codify it into law… until it was.

Well those aren’t uniquely AI problems.

AI generated or human artwork created CP is also kind of debatable in terms of harm causing vs potential harm reduction. (IE the question is, does availability of fake CP in which no one is harmed in the making of it, lessen or raise the amount of actual offenders).

Misinformation, scams etc… all just as likely to happen via shops of cheap labor

The problems of AI that I believe this post is talking about, are the labor displacement issues, IE when AI gets good enough to outperform humans at tasks… how will the economy deal with unemployable people. Which is a specifically capitalism problem. IE the fact that work is based on supply/demand… and lowering the supply of work while keeping peoples demand of needing income… leads to people starving to death.

Right, but the point is, it may very well be that they were difficult to catch without going into harm on the other side (IE in say 9/11’s case having the bar set so high that they’d have grounded air traffic for 15 false positives before actually stopping the attack). Likewise say JFK or MLK’s assassinations, also probably infeasible, having to widen perimeter or advance security on quite a large distance from where they were traveling and speaking.

In epstiens case though, it seems like a high profile national news level criminal like himself. could have very easily been sent to a much better guarded prison, not taken off suicide watch etc… IE it seems like all the red flags were there that he would have killed himself if he could… and he was left in a situation where doing so was not difficult, and the cost of ensuring he didn’t kill himself would have been pretty low. It’s one dude that’s expected to stay in captivity, on a case that the whole world was watching. Not really that infeasible to have a 24/7 rotation that has one person dedicated to him at all times.

To me I think majority of conspiracy murder… still may have merit, without actually lifting a finger.

IMO I don’t think the real question is “did the government establish a hit on JFK, MLK, The twin towers etc…”.

but rather, did someone in power get a note saying “this is likely to happen and here’s how to prevent it”, and it get burried.

Passwords you can remember is a problem if you have multiple sites.

While I love XKCDs HorseBatteryStaplerOkay! strategy… that works well for 4-5 passwords, if you have 20+ passwords you’ll pretty much wind up re-using, and if it turns out one of the 20 sites had garbage protection and gets fully hacked, any sites you used the same is also going to be vulnerable.

Personally still gotta say go with keepass or bitwarden (selfhosted if possible).

The iHorse.

My thoughts exactly, this actually screams awesome fashion lol

Unfortunately for the most part, capitalism is. The companies that do exploit their workers and their customers make more money, Corporations that make more money than their competition then get in positions to do shady shit to kill their competitors. In the end of course there’s plenty of shitty jobs that treat their employees like garbage to jump between, and very few jobs that actually treat their workers like humans.

or more accurately users just have no grasp of what things come from. No shortage of times in tech support where I’ve heard things like “Yes I know the internet is down, I’m not trying to go to the internet I’m trying to go to facebook”.

Someone’s been studying the 2 guardians puzzle.

Gotta say outright, a god that punishes people for not believing in the correct interpretation of him… is a God who’s heaven I wouldn’t want to go to. Just do the math on regional factors alone. Fact is if you believe in a god, if you are born in a heavily muslim area, there’s a 75% chance you’d believe in the muslim interpretation. If you are born in a christian area, there’s a 75% chance you’ll have the christian belief, same for hinduism, bhudism etc…

Fact is no matter how you slice it, if there is a correct version of god to believe in, at most maybe 1/3rd of people are in the right place to believe in that version of him. Meaning 2/3rds of the world is at a cultural disadvantage to not correctly beleive in the right version of god, and thus would be doomed to hell. That’s before factoring in hundreds of other factors like life circumstance etc…

Simple fact is if a god exists, and is good, and has an afterlife (none of which are facts I believe in). I don’t think belief or knowledge is any sign of fairness for such a being to do, and certainly sending things to hell for something that they are literally incapable of even trying to think about… is just nonsense for anything but the most malicious and evil interpretations of a god.

Ivy, Harley and Mr Freeze and catwoman are bad examples IMO because they have pretty big track records of strong moral fiber, doing the wrong thing for right reasons. Admitted that’s why most fail because comics tend to try to have villains be at least somewhat sympathetic and believable and sometimes even a bit likable.

I mean looks isn’t even really the thing, The main 2 things are default programs, and the package managers. IE arch based are good if you want the bare minimum, and for most packages to be the bleeding edge. Buntu based if you want the default packages to be more stable versions (at the drawback of not always getting the latest without setting up a repository).

Basically it’s the installers and configuration tools that are the main differences. You are right that on a practical level if you ask me to make an arch system look like a debian or ubuntu system that’s set up the way you like it, I could almost certainly make it barely distinguishable.

I’d assume because the internet is 90% catered to american’s.

also worth going further on library size. There’s twice as many steam deck verified games, than there are ps4 titles. Not counting any titles that work in steam deck but haven’t bothered to be verified.

I don’t, the point I was making is the corporations are unspeakably untrustworthy and always will focus purely on what gives them the most money. The government is usually corrupt and will often let these corporations do what they want to do. My point is the government at its worse, is the same as large corporations at their best.

So when it comes to things like healthcare… yes I’ll take the gov over the corporations.

Bottom line to me is, no I don’t trust the government at all. Unfortunately the options are the government and private insurance. and seeing how the government is the only thing that stops them from charging super sky high premiums, and then find excuses not to cover anything when you get sick.

would be nice, but doesn’t seem to really happen, (incumbancy advantage). Also the bigger problem that isn’t solved by voting them out or even term limits. Access to money is important to win an election. Same people have money, those people pick candidates that are loyal and see to it that they win. When one old corrupt politician dies we’ll get a new one pushed by the corporate media.

well in a way it is I think. The blackouts have pretty much ended, but many mods left. Many mods are demotivated, and many users are leaving due to worsened apps. They survived the blackouts, but the long term effects will have them bleeding for a long time.
