I’m afraid of urban density, diversity, genders and social progress. That makes me superior.

Fear is the mind killer. Long live the fighters.

Thanks for conceding your post.

you have no relevant proof or evidence of your claims, it’s not my problem

prove it

That’s still just an assertion on your part. Maybe you should surveil some books before making assertions.

Anecdotal evidence can be true or false but is not usually subjected to scholarly methods, scientific methods, or rules of legal, historical, academic, or intellectual rigor, meaning there are little or no safeguards against fabrication or inaccuracy.

This does very little to add any weight to your assertions. No effort is required on my part still.

Surveillance protects people from terrorism, and sacrificing some privacy makes us safer.

In logical discussions, the burden of proof lies with the person making a claim, meaning they must provide evidence for their assertion rather than expecting others to disprove it.

No wonder there’s cosmic inflation, the universe is just a cosmic balloon.

China, once again, well ahead of the curve with this stuff. The point of the Chinese processing constellation is mostly to do data processing in orbit of data from other satellites and such, getting better quality data back to earth more efficiently from what I recall.

Philosophically I’m an anarchist, so pragmatically I’m a communist, and currently I’m a socialist [that supports Actually Existing Socialism].

This is what gets called ‘red fash tankie’ by western chauvinists claiming to be leftists.

the bit-torrent file sharing protocol was the real cyber-communist manifesto the whole time

I got a nice OLED TV as my main monitor. I only connect it to the internet to run updates if I think it is necessary (there is also usually a USB option for updates too), then disconnect once that’s done. Works great for sailing the seas and streaming whatever. It’s unfortunate I paid for stuff that I won’t use in the TV, but that’s often the case with many products these days.

I’m glad 6 and 7 are on good terms now. Their relationship was rather fraught for a while after the whole cannibalism thing with 7 and 9.

Research in psychology suggests that vulnerability is crucial for mental well-being. Sharing our struggles can reduce stress, anxiety, and feelings of isolation (Tugade, Fredrickson, & Barrett, 2004).

Capitalism was the paperclip maximizer all along?

I’ve got a feeling this is specifically related to DRM in the HDMI spec that prevents video capture of encrypted content. Maybe I’m remembering something vaguely from about a decade ago about HDMI content encryption that is no longer relevant, but my hazy memory is that this was a core element of the HDMI spec that media corps wanted to prevent digital copying. Not that it really means anything at this point, the seas are full of high quality rips regardless, but maybe there is some dubious legal value in preventing an open source driver?
