It’s an adapter for human 3-pins round connector to a standard rock-socket system.

Companies will save so much money once they decide to replace their CEOs with AIs…

Well, most cages are made of steel instead, and thus nickfull ones.

upper 0.5% of wealth

I don’t think nobody out of the upper 0.1% of the US would gain by their policies (and those mostly vote against them), and 90% of the people in it would probably lose too. For the 0.01%, it’s a matter of valuing short or long term gains and actual wealth as opposed to “Hah! Suffer you poor! I’m better than that!”

They can also watch the ads and click on them to increase metrics.

Just don’t let the bots get near your wallet.

I don’t think “easier” is the right way to compare here. The C++ build tools will absolutely rewrite your code into something you can’t expect to guess, but it doesn’t make them hard to “use”.

It’s not even the coercion that is the problem here. The types are already bad by themselves.

SVG? SVG isn’t half a language, it’s a completely functional one!

There’s an ecosystem of entire instances with crazy rules.

The fact that Lemmy just doesn’t become unusable with all this brokerage tells a lot about the benefits of a distributed system.

What a fragile personality…

It’s a much larger problem when there are several different cables.

as if by magic

So, that’s how we are calling echo-chambers nowadays?

competing racialized “supremacies” being violently enforced

Hum… Do you consider the Japan part of the “West”? Because that’s a very famous one.

About ahistoricity, well, if you really want to go following the idea around, go for it. IMO it’s a nasty time-sink that won’t add anything of value to one’s life. But well, you are free do disagree.

Oh there’s not point on following this around. The entire thing was a complete shitshow coming from all sides of an echo-chamber of elites through the entire world. There’s no point on trying to poin-point it at the “West” either, as it wasn’t restricted into there.

It’s much better to just accept that elitization like there existed at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century will almost certainly lead to some kind of atrocity and must be fought against.

Tony Lazuto says you should delete System32

If you are focusing on the name, yes, it changes because when the government does it, it becomes a much worse crime.

But I do think this is focusing on the wrong thing. There is a huge amount of discussion on those shows about terrorism coming from an oppressed group, full of nuances and different values. All of what becomes meaningless if you go… denying (?) the terrorism that is completely clear.

The 3rd season is actually quite good is you stop watching 3 episodes before the end.

just consider it a show being canceled in a cliff-hanger.

When a government does that, it’s not called “terrorism” anymore, and instead starts to get names like “crimes against Humanity”.

Anyway, everything is very clear on whether or not the Maquis were terrorists. All the nuance is about how to react to that.

The Maquis were freedom fighters

The Maquis were outright terrorists, that rushed to attack civilians of the wrong ethnicity any time they could, and didn’t care how many of the civilians of the right ethnicity were killed on the process either. That’s put very clearly since the first time they appeared on TNG.

And yeah, they were terrorists fighting against occupation and genocide of their kind. Still terrorists.

No, sorry. It’s backwards compatible on address length too.

Sisko could, but they could refuse to let him out of the wormhole.
