I’m under the impression that Google deliberately hinders their YouTube platform just because you have ad-blockers. With videos taking time to buffer, seems to signal this, because it almost makes up nearly the amount of time for when ads take if you had to watch them. So since you’re ad-blocking and they don’t like that, they’ll make your experience miserable until you want to pay their service or not use ad-block.
Gamergate was mostly fabricated and an intentional trial run for recruiting younger generations into movements that would transition to outright fascism. Pizzagate and Q-anon conspiracies were intentionally started to reduce the fallout from the Epstein files… both of these operations worked far, far better than the people behind them expected.
EDIT: I almost forgot, one reason why many Democrats keep moving right and away from their base despite all the evidence that this is costing them votes is because their post-mortem on Gamergate and Q-anon revealed how wildly effective these operations were and they think they can win with the same play at some point in the future.
There is an ongoing conspiracy to erode the public education system in the US to perpetuate and increase the advantages the children of the wealthy already have. Contrary to what most people believe, the introduction of more technology in the classroom is just one part of this effort, and only leads to “better outcomes” because those outcomes are defined as being a more efficient drone from sector 7-C.
The continued effort to represent LLMs as something closer to General AI is so that at some point, an improved version can be present as having “reasoned” that humanity will prosper if we perpetuate the current system and give tech billionaires more money. The main reason why it’s failing at present is that many people have noticed a larger than normal number of folks are not, in fact, prospering and feel threatened by what is basically three high power grammar checkers in a trench coat. If the economy picks up before the AI bubble bursts, this may succeed.
The universe is a simulation, and not only is it impossible to disprove (non-falsifiable), but it would imply that you could be the only thinking consciousness here (Cartesian Solipsism)
Consider:
- the universe has rendering rules, treating objects differently when they are observed, to the point where objects do not have set properties when unobserved (Bell Inequality)
- this holds for even arbitrarily large objects, as scientists have been able to demonstrate molecules containing thousands of atoms demonstrating wave-particle duality
- The Universe has a frame rate (Planck time)
- the Universe has a resolution (Planck length)
- The most basic level of the universe is discrete (energy quanta)
While I choose not to go for the solipsism, I am becoming increasingly persuaded of the simulation theory’s likelihood.
Im a little worried about that. I’m both hoping for and am terrified of it being the Roy game from Rick and Morty.
I’d be relieved because I’d get an “extra life” style of thing, but also I’d be fucking mortified seeing all my pals around waiting for their turn, having watched me goon my turn away.
There’s warzones, scientific breakthroughs to pioneer, robot pets, space exploration, gargantuan beasts to take down, lost treasures to find, and I’m just sat at the cartoon-titties box thr whole time.
on a non-human related, about biology. thismia americana(fairy latern) is sitll out there somewhere, originally it was found in chicago and arou calumet, but it was heavily developed, and it was “like distinct” whats unique is thismia is mostly a tropical species in ASIA and alledgely south america and central(likely a different genus), how did it end up america especially a temperate area.
it was found a few times over 100+years ago, and never found after that by PFIFFER. while new thismia species keep being discovered IN SE asia every year(likely origin of the clade thismia) and even 2 extinct species were found to be alive (kobensis(japan) and neptunis(151years later). because the flower is so small its likely hidden in leaf litter and its extremely difficult to find the other species.
Elon musk is only known as the richest person. He chooses to pay taxes and not hide his wealth simply because he wants to be seen as the richest person. There are far richer people in the world that we simply don’t know about because they hide their wealth and don’t brag online.
Putin being one, he can effectively use the whole Russian budget as his own piggy bank
Dude has a billion dollar Dacha protected by the best of the best of Russian military air defence and nobody bats an eye
The probability of him not doing some heinous shit behind closed doors is zero
and no other country wants to put harsher sanctions on russia, because he likely has krompromat on most leaders(besides his frenemies, like china and iran thats probably the one country he doesnt want to cross), plus paying for most if not all conservative government parties in many countries.
If you want to take it further, he’s the richest man in terms of numbers.
At the end of the day, money only matters as far as HOW you can spend it.
The Zucc poured $77,000,000,000 into a fucking vr sim. WHY?!?!
If you’re bothered spending time tricking people into thinking you’re the #1 Path of Exile player in the world, you probably aren’t considered highly on the world stage.
Think of how Putin may utilise that much wealth.
Don’t get me wrong, spaceships are cool, but… Let’s be real… Nobody is going to live on Mars in Elon Musks lifetime…
Trump is a dickhead, but at least taking Venezuela and Greenland are realistic goals lol
They also make the page slower in non-Chrome browsers like Safari and Firefox
sometimes the pages break more often too.
That the next generation/the one after it will be the first generation to mostly accept non-human art as standard art
The AI bubble is actually a cover used by cloud providers to engage in racketeering. I assume that it is encouraged by the alphabet agencies to setup a network that aggregates advertiser data to match up browser fingerprints and spy on Americans in mass without warrants. The ram shortage was engineered to force adoption for the cloud primarily for small business and sectors that have avoided it due to cost. Retail is a casualty and gaming is next. They don’t care about AI, its just the wrench that tightens the bolt
I am praying this is wrong SO MUCH.
I’m happy seeing so many kids getting into retro hardware and actual computing and physical media and stuff. We should tighten that bolt.
As much trouble as we’ve got, I REALLY will not live in this “everything is just a terminal to The Cloud™” world. It’s disgusting.
Did you know that there’s a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity? Think about it.
I will
A whole lot of those creepy ass insta/FB/TikTok videos of too young girls in bathing suits and shit are directly related to CSAM and child rape.
And some of them are run by their parents
On purpose
Also the Mar-a-lago crowd doesn’t go for bikinis or revealing clothing, what gets the off is innocence
I’m so glad I avoid that
Malicious coding by Facebook and google if you dont use their apps. I know they’re doing it but I can’t prove it.
Or websites purposely loading slowly or not at all if you have Linux installed. I could see that happening.
Reddit shadow-bans Tor users.
they have been know for as long as they did to vpn users, at least eariler 2024. apparently they have been increasing thier filters to target other things like different kinds of proxies anti-detection methods that spammers use. and my favorite is do the BARE minimum against russian troll farms, palintir bots, and AI.
That anxiety and depression are just symptoms of deep problems, and not in and of themselves psychological conditions. It’s cheaper and less work to just throw meds at the symptoms then it is to do the work to find why people are struggling with the anxiety and depression.
Many of the deeper issue causing them are from how are society works, and can’t be changed or fixed easily, but I don’t know, maybe if everyone realized that our society is hurting us this badly we could do something about it. But no, “here take these meds that will numb the pain and every emotion you have, now be a good little worker drone and get back to grind. It’s not the society that’s the issue, it just you… And everyone else that we are also giving these meds too.”
I myself recently realized that the anxiety and depression I suffered from as a teen was caused by childhood trauma, being undiagnosed neurodigergent, and being Queer. All things society at large tries to ignore or out right hate. Any none of the mental health professionals tried to look into why I was struggling, they just gave me meds and sent me on my way.
That being said, if the meds are the only thing keeping you from ending it all, do what you got to do. Meds are a tool and tools should be used if they are helpful.
This one big time.
It’s anecdotal but like 90% of my psychological torment disappeared overnight when I quit a horrible job I’d been trapped in for 8 years.
A lot of recovery work I’m doing is trying to undo all that. It made me insufferably cynical, angry, depressed, anxiety to 11. But it paid bills.
The other 10% is ADHD. Society also punishes that one in fun ways. (And has now turned it into yet another marketing trend. Hooray.)
But being denied free will to act in the world and determine one’s own course is damaging to the human psyche. Being coerced into doing something stupidly pointless on top of that, for little in return, is even more damaging still.
they can have organic causes as in disease or some kind genetic issue, but mos tof the time its psychological
Fun fact this is actually a well known proven thing! Hide the pain harold.jxl
Study apon study has found that by reducing work, giving people their basic needs, and letting us follow our passions makes us exponentially more productive and happier. But that would only benifit the commoners since the rich/powerful already have all that, and why would the people at the top help when they get off on the feeling of power
DuckDuckGo is actually a honeypot for the NSA that significantly reduces the amount of data they need to process by virtue of its advertised use case.
Think about it. Everytime some dumb criminal gets caught, there’s always a report about them searching up how to do the crime on Google, which the police collects as part of their investigation.
A “smart” criminal/terrorist would then avoid common search engines and would opt for DDO since they don’t share or collect search data.
DDO just doesn’t share that data with advertisers, trackers, and regular police/FBI like how other search engines do, but they do share it with the NSA just like every other search engine did via PRISM.
NSA uses the data for whatever purpose and helps to ensure DDO’s security. DDO also never compromises on sharing its data to anyone except the NSA to maintain an image of security and privacy to would be criminals.
That the VPN providers, because it gives them a captive market, are internationally pushing for roles like those that exist in UK and Aussie
And they’re profiteering
Humans are not inherently good. Quite the opposite. Civilization is just a convenient lie we tell ourselves and its far more fragile than people like to admit.
Its because you have to have a certain degree of apathy in nature. Apathetic enough not to drain yourself on distant others, but not so much you neglect your own kin and offspring.
These are such conditions that allow for a fascist takeover. It is THE fascist playbook, to fearmonger the safety of your children, and scapegoating it on others. Its your empathy that drives you to protect your children, and the apathy that pushes you to accept the persecution of minorities.
This is why fascism is so pervasive, it preys upon the biological workings of human psyche. This is what needs to be taught in schools rather than “a bunch of evil people got into power and killed everybody”
Nature is cruel, and that includes humans in general. I feel like that’s a known fact
Basic facts of human psychology and behavior that most people in active denial about because it makes them feel/look bad.
Even talking about this stuff makes people VERY uncomfortable and angry. Especially given most people subscribe to just world theories that people are inherently good or evil and what happens to them in life is justified because of that inherent quality they feel usually is attributed from some universal force. People really can’t cope with how random ‘evil’ can really be.
The scariest part is that anyone can become anything, given the right circumstances. Nobody is inherently good or evil, and most of the people who endlessly moralize about others, themselves tend towards more evil behaviors. I especially enjoy how the ‘anti evil’ people are so eager to enact violence on others or in the name of others.
What are these facts?
The separation between human beings and screaming monkeys throwing poop at each other is a lot closer than most people are comfortable to admit, to the point where there is significant overlap.
“There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy” - Alfred Henry Lewis (1906)
It’d be miserable but man if we gotta skip some lunches to dethrone unjustified authority structures I’m so down. 👍
People really do not like to be reminded that the only thing that separates us from animals is our ability to save information.
Seriously, it all comes down to collected knowledge.
