Americans love to pretend they are cowboys. In reality they love centralised power and bureaucracy. They are deeply afraid of each other so they flock to platforms that pretend to be for freedom, but is actually highly regulated by centralised power. That’s why they love tech-oligarchs that pretend to be self made geniuses. It allows them to fantasise about freedom to succeed and submit to power at the same time.
Not really. It would just make it easier for rats to take over. Small animals would quickly get back to the old numbers, but bigger predators in the ecosystem might not recover. So if Thanos plan was for cockroaches and rats to rule the world, well then maybe.
To be fair, he would solve any housing crisis.
What will they do then? Vote for Thanos?
OP is not exactly coming up with good examples, but I think the point is you can analyse anything and claim that there is some hidden political message, even if it was not intended by the developers. Even Gilgamesh, one of the oldest text ever found, has scholars discussing gender and sexuality. I don’t think Gilgamesh and Enkidus relationship was considered political at the time the story was written down, but in a new context and a new political landscape it can suddenly be political.
You really don’t have to. It’s for collectors who have cartridges and want to experience them on a HDTV.
Good for you
I used it for the first time this morning. The motion sensor was surprisingly good at getting me out of bed. It even detected if I tried to get back in.
Yea, it’s called indexing, it’s well documented: https://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/display/document/obo-9780199756841/obo-9780199756841-0090.xml
I would buy it, if it where available in Europe.
Federated LinkedIn would still be better than LinkedIn.
You are right. We should give up all hope at just give in, there is nothing we can do.
Too bad it’s made by Ubisoft.
Why are they insisting on this PSN madness? They make themselves look like complete idiots.
People will always corrupt a system for personal gain
Now you are just making stuff up. People are selfless all the time. But in a capitalist society you are punished for being selfless and awarded for being selfish. It’s a highly anti social ideology.
I still dont understand why we need bluesky.
She links to a news article: https://www.saudigazette.com.sa/article/641746/SAUDI-ARABIA/Etidal-Telegram-remove-over-16-million-extremist-contents-in-early-2024
I don’t think Telegram denies doing mass surveillance. They might deny targeting queer groups and claim to only target extremist, whatever that means.
I mean it’s pretty bad to practice mass surveillance.
Sure, but people should know they are being monitored by the Saudis, and Telegram should not be used for anything sensitive. They pretend to be a secure privacy respecting platform, but they are practicing mass surveillance and censorship.
I think David Graeber and David Wengrove make a case that it has worked in bigger communities too.
