Just fucking why lol? How braindead do you have to be? It’s just fundamentally impossible to prevent actual criminals or terrorists from simply ignoring this and making guns.
Is this to permanently prevent individuals to build their own stuff? Like the next manufacturing revolution has to be kept out of the hands of the proletariat?
<sad modem noises>
I believe forking doesn’t work because of network effects - Wikipedia.
Standard Anti-Fascist strategy is to deny fascists a platform. Fascist speech is fascist recruitment. And obviously no, you can’t compromise with fascism, that’s the tolerance paradox.
Yes and now they lost the right to have a safe abortion. Them removed shouldn’t have been so uppity! /s
No, only skimmed this news but the grift is that they’ll insert themselves into index listings on the stock exchange so large scale investors HAVE to buy into it. Or make your 401k invest in it. So you’ll be investing in it, congrats lol.
It’s shocking nobody is stopping this completely corrupt regime.
Wow and people are still like “Never forget!!!” to bring this up? The comic is clearly satire and even funnier with the reaction.
Thanks for the link, definitely an interesting example of a different kind of brainrot - promoting and reinforcing victimhood in young men which ultimately helped the rise of inceldom and neo-fascism.
To be fair, the music leekspin was based on was pretty “novel” and beautiful. (see Loituma “Ievan polkka”)
And local and under your control. As a “second brain” that isn’t sentient but intelligent to assist you AI has great potential. In a few years we’ll probably have the models and new hardware to run good enough models locally on cheap enough hardware.
But by then they’ll have drummed enough support for “muh copyright” to buy legislation for AI licensing and make all AI models have to pay a license fee to… “someone”. Like that poor writer who had his work illegally read by an AI. So then no open source models can exist and they have the monopoly. Big win for the little guy lol.
At least China is pushing to expand production capacity.
So in my country it’s pretty “limited” because of that. You’re allowed to use a dash-cam as long as it doesn’t permanently record. ONLY if there is a crash or a crime you may press the “record and keep the last X minutes” button. I mean that is how most dash-cams function anyway. And you can’t publicly share it without consent of people you filmed or blur their faces and tags. So a legal framework already exists that protects citizens privacy while still allowing to collect video evidence.
Hmm… of course next step would need to be to have dashcams that have a sensors that encrypt and authenticate the video using a random key, to have a higher confidence that you haven’t generated AI footage showing the other person at fault.
I mean I would like a dashcam that records front, my face and out the rear window. But it has to be under MY control.
I’d never buy a car with a camera I can’t control. No doubt they’ll soon turn it into some subscription shit or spy on you.
It’s kind of like survivorship bias: The ones who rise to the very top must be the most ruthless and biggest pieces of shit. It’s like taking 20 trials to rise to the top, and to succeed each trial fucking others over and only concerning yourself with your advancement is beneficial. It only leaves the worst.
There is a good article about how it happened: The Man Who Killed Google Search by Ed Zitron
Oh I quite agree with that. In the end only power matters, and that is what we’re seeing in regards to Russia. The USA set a trap and Russia walked right into it. But just because a majority of people agree with something like sanctions, doesn’t make it right or “legal”. Only power does that, together with the propaganda to ensure everyone thinks the same.
I mean imagine we treated the US like we do Russia lol. Inconceivable because of money of course.
I know that video but under the name “The Rules for Rulers”.
It’s obviously not a video for anarchists.
No. But it’s not completely unreasonable to assume that those protesters are indirectly manipulated or motivated by US or foreign interests to destabilize China. That doesn’t make trials like this good, but it does explain why China is cracking down on what they see as foreign interference.
There is a certain necessity to be authoritarian if there actually are foreign superpowers trying to tear you down. You can’t just ignore it. You simply cannot have a free press if a foreign enemy is constantly buying or manipulating that so called free press against the people’s interest. It’s what we should do, force large social media to deploy a shitton of moderators and hold them accountable for foreign misinformation by e.g. Russia.
It’s very effective to rile up people by constantly pushing ideals like freedom or liberty and principles and “never forget this horrific thing” etc. Why do people care so much about what happened in China? Why not devote the scarce resources of the attention economy to atrocities in the west that would be both easier and morally more pertinent to deal with? Like private healthcare in the US is a crime against humanity that has cost far more lives.
What we DO know is that material quality of life in China has significantly risen since 1989. Do I want to live there? No. But the endless harping about China bad is telling.
The Israel regime is deliberately fostering hate against Jews to bolster their domestic power. They are literally antisemites. It’s what fascists crave.
So if Russia passes sanctions against France they can legally seize their freighters too.
Neat!
I’m not against sensible gun control laws like background checks. And if you want to shoot guns for fun keep them at your local shooting range, or for hunting at your local hunting club. In an “armory”. That works just fine in most of the world.
Manufacturing a gun requires serious effort and it’s not just clicking a button. But it is impossible to completely prevent, and it’s braindead to try. Not a single gun death will be prevented by this law, unlike gun control laws which do work - at least outside the US.
PS: Well according to Rossman in the video Bloomberg is just an idiotic control freak. He was also the guy who forced police to have stop and frisk quotas. There is no reason, it’s just genuine Kakistocracy lol.
