Well that is part of the defense mechanism. There really are trolls, bots, agitprop etc. So we now anyone who is using an argument that Trump or Putin ever made, must be an enemy (genetic fallacy). And is hence is “fair game” to attack and lie about to protect the narrative. Being called a bot is like the ultimate dehumanization.

I don’t think it’s reddit culture, it’s bigger than that. People are just badly informed and the disinformation is total. Journalists who even slightly deviate are fired all over the world.

Maybe there is so much noise now that people rely more and more on mainstream media that are completely captured now.

The complete post-truth doublethink the liberals are doing these days is shocking. There is no difference between MAGA Trump supporters and the vast majority of liberals these days. I don’t think they are capable to be truthful any more.

It really shows what happens when the mainstream media is owned by oligarchs and use the right propaganda to hone in on the “emotional truths” of a group. For them it’s about justice and and evil and a good. US supporting Israel commit genocide is evil. US supporting Ukraine become demcoratic is good. Russia attacking because of NATO expansion is evil.

So everything that doesn’t fit with this narrative, that they are the good guys, is dismissed or rationalized. Easy when it just so happens if the arguments are made by their evil enemies. Historical facts simply don’t matter.

Where does that idea even come from?

Ironically it’s the same logic Israel uses against the Palestinians. They want to destroy us and can’t be reasoned with, so it has to be total war.

Hmm this made me wonder why something like this wouldn’t melt the rock and then sink into the crust and then into the planet. Probably not hot enough.
And that made me think if we could build something like a big pellet of fissile material, encase it in tungsten or something so that it is hot enough to do so but remains stable, and then let it sink into the earth. Maybe that could be tracked? Then we could learn something about how it moves and where it ends up. But probably can’t be tracked since this isn’t star trek 🖖

Still interesting. zstandard using pretrained dictionaries (zstd --train). Previously they used zlib.

Does anybody know if you can pretrain dictionaries for 7zip for large ebook libraries? Or any better compression library for text?

Now make a square out of squiggly yarn

String theorists claim this is the true shape of spacetime!

You mean Budapest Memorandum. Russia claims that the US and EU violated that treaty using IMF loans for economic coercion, then Ukraine violated it by turning anti Russia, letting mass murdering NAZIs hold power banning Russian language and and attacking Russians in Ukraine, and then swaring to join NATO in their constitution. That treaty is toast since the aftermath of the Euromaidan massacre.

How much do you know about what actually happened to start this war?

Just unbearable cruelty by the Israeli fascists

How are they making this about Iran? Very clever propaganda.

Thanks. I imagine most unicode characters and emojis are just copied over from some default font?

Maybe they’ll patch it into a https://www.nerdfonts.com

The headline is genocide apologia and should be banned.

Can I use a seedbox to host videos for peertube?

Interesting people still don’t understand the paradox of tolerance or fascism and anti-fascism. They are this close to loosing their democracy but think there won’t be any political violence from the fascists.

If you’re from denmark I don’t think you can appreciate how radicalized these neighbors have become through extremist news and social media.

If you’re still voting for the republicans you’re supporting fascism. And that is not civilized. Because fascism means that fascist violence will become inevitable.

How good does it work on an external 4K monitor? Can you watch 4k video? I imagine youtube and browsing reddit or news online shouldn’t be a problem.

Basically I’d like an ultra low power PC for boring desktop stuff on 4k monitor.

Don’t they HAVE TO open their messaging app now with the “EU Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act”?

EDIT: Huh, no they don’t (link) cause they are not “core platform”…

Unfortunate side effect. They think the free market and some advertising will fix it! /s

But it’s also social media manipulating and propagandizing young people, reactionaries boosting the worst voices and grifters pushing whatever outrage gets them clicks.

And also, we know climate change is coming and with it billions of refugees. And we keep supporting proxy wars. Capitalists love this because of cheap labor. Socialists believe in solidarity, and liberals believe we can’t let them die or suffer. Which is true but people do also have selfish interests and know unbridled refugee policies will lead to collapse of Europe. If you wanted to stop refugees and immigrants you’d have to project a pacifist foreign policy and solidarity abroad. But then you become a Putin apologist (or before that Assaad).

I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but the rise of fascism in Europe and the US seems inevitable to me :(

What’s ABI? API compatible with linux kernel? EDIT: Never mind, Application binary interface

And what’s TCB?
