The case revealed Google continued gathering user data via Firebase, a monitoring database embedded in 97% of top Android apps and 54% of leading iOS apps, even after users disabled data collection

This is why we can’t have nice things.

I think somewhere, deep down, a small dot of intelligence is trying to come out of Trump’s fat, orange blob of a body.

I have a bigger respect for Emmy than the Oscars. But I am surprised as well that it took so long for Emmy to award a black man for best supporting role.

I searched for my topics of interest and hobbies but barely got any hit.

Oh yeah, it is worth noting that Nebula doesn’t have as many options as in YouTube, I’m afraid. That is the limitation of platform. New content creators do come in to Nebula but not as often as it would be on YouTube.

Personally, I love nebula because it does have the topics I am interested in, which is mainly history, news, video games and politics. There are also long form video essays on variety of topics. I would say that Nebula is more like nerdy because of prevalence of those topics. I haven’t come across Nebula videos that are more niche like, let’s say, woodworking or metalworking etc. I do photography but I think there is only one Nebula content creator that does photography.

What about Nebula? It’s paid subscription but you can pay for once off lifetime subscription for $300, and the content creators even encourage users to opt for the latter. Edit: wording

Musk and Napoleon aren’t nowhere near close enough for comparison. Napoleon had done more good.

It is the trend among far right parties across Europe. They are all complain but once actually in government, they are useless. Hopefully it stays that way and none of them become as efficient as the fascists of the past.

I’m for singularity. We, or the robots alone, might even be better at solving climate change.

How will countries address the declining population of Europe, and climate change which disproportionately affects much of the world’s lower income population and drives migration because of decreased land productivity and economic activity?

I don’t know about investors, but in the past it is not uncommon for researchers to have inherent biases. For example, scientific racism was definitely a thing.

People hate AI slop, but you know who’s going to make it acceptable? Children. They will grow up using AI generator apps and websites. So at some point, us adults will have to accept it. It reminds me of dating apps and websites when it was considered taboo and seen as sad to use them. Twenty years later, dating apps are now ubiquitous and normalise them because younger folks made it normal.

Are some people more worthy of life because they speak about their political opinions to a lot of people?

Fascists: Yes.

while doing a bit of theater about it?

That’s what Democrats have always done-- throwing some breadcrumbs.

This isn’t to dismiss the Democrat effort to release the Epstein files by the way, but I’m saying that the Democratic party have always half assed things in general. I got downvoted for saying Dem effort to release the files is high school gossip drama and not focusing on more critical issues. Because they haven’t laid out their serious platform to address kitchen table issues that matter more to ordinary Americans.

Let’s say Trump and Republicans lose the house, senate and the executive, and then what? Are Dems going to address wealth inequality and oligarchy, the very same issues that led to fascism? It is the same story in Europe. Almost ten years ago people hailed the electoral defeat of far right movements. But fast forward now, and because mainstream parties failed to address the underlying issues that led to the rise of far right, the far right is still far from defeated and only grew stronger instead! They might even get into power in the next national European election. I don’t want to sound know it all, but most people lack optics and are short term minded. The rising far right is also something most people don’t want to think about until they gain power.

Is .dbzer Nazi? I wasn’t aware.

I’m pretty sure some of the tankies are genuinely paid troll. The level of gymnastics, spins and gaslighting they make is something that a trained PR person is proficient at. I noticed this way back in Reddit.

I think the answer is pretty simple: immigration and the cultures and behaviour that come with impoverished people.

Bingo. I wish more people would realise this instead of calling people stupid, hillbilly, racist, ignorant etc. The problem is not immigration itself, but pitting the poor against fellow poor who happen to be of foreign origin. With austerity going on since the financial crisis, there has been little to no public investment. Housing in particular has been put under private equity and NIMBYs kicking down the property ladder making it harder for nearly everyone to put roof over their heads. The nature of employment has changed, turning from traditional manual labour to either knowledge-based or automation, which not everyone has the knack for or that less people are needed.

So, less housing and less jobs are available. This puts family in poverty. As we speak, record number of children are in poverty and emergency accommodations. Guess what effect will this experience have on these children growing up in shaping their world view…
