The best argument for altruism
  • No one is preventing you from leaving the USA. Most countries are just making it difficult to enter. I'm all for having more open borders, but that's probably not what you're arguing for.

    No one is preventing you from starting your own community either. There just isn't any land remaining that isn't already owned.

    And the "punished based on the rules of the given community, or expelled" thing is describing a government, although because of the aforementioned lack of unowned land, they only expel immigrants nowadays.

  • Well yeah, they're just blocking known fingerprinting services. If you use a tool that they don't recognize, it'll still work, but their approach will still block the big companies that can do the most harm with that data.

    The only alternative is probably to disable WebGL entirely, which isn't a reasonable thing to do by default.

  • There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent
  • Yeah, I manage the infrastructure for almost 150 WordPress sites, and I moved them all to ARM servers a while ago, because they're 10% or 20% cheaper on AWS.

    Websites are rarely bottlenecked by the CPU, so that power efficiency is very significant.

  • Now do the George Floyd riots.

    You mean the ones where cops and white supremacists pretended to be protesters and started smashing windows and setting fires themselves, because the real protestors weren't doing anything that they could be arrested for?

    So when you try to murder people you unarmed into a building filled with armed men?

    People who illegally entered Capitol grounds during the insurrection were armed with a wide variety of weapons, including guns, stun guns, knives, batons, baseball bats, axes and chemical sprays. The Department of Justice said in an official update last week that so far “over 75” people charged in connection to the attack “have been charged with entering a restricted area with a dangerous or deadly weapon.”

    They also made pipe bombs.

  • Lmao no it isn't. It's completely insignificant and barely even qualifies as news.

    The US Dollar is strong because we have the largest economy in the world, not because of the good will of some oil exporter.

    At least google things before spreading insane misinformation.

  • Did you miss the part where they were trying to murder most of congress?

    Also:

    Within 36 hours, five people died: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes, including a police officer. Many people were injured, including 174 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months. Damages caused by attackers exceeded $2.7 million.

  • Webp Discourse
  • They do, most of the time. For example if you upload an heic file from an iPhone to a file input on a website that doesn't accept heic files, it'll upload a jpeg.

    Apple can't see or control all the different ways of transferring files, though, so in practice it still causes problems sometimes.

    The strange thing is that some Android phones also save photos as heic files and make no attempt to convert them, so I still had to add logic to my websites to convert them myself.

  • "Of course not - that might hurt my accelerationist dreams!"
  • Any third party that a left leaning person might vote for will only help Republicans to win elections by siphoning votes away from Democrats.

    In fact, that's exactly why they exist.

    So yeah, they get hate, because they're actively trying to sabotage progressive causes and usher in fascism.

  • After Buying Up Studios, Xbox Says It Doesn't Have The Resources To Run Them
  • unless a progressive third party emerges the system will keep getting worse

    If a progressive third party emerges, they'll split the vote with Democrats, making both of them weaker. That'll just give every election to Republicans and make the country get worse even faster.

    The only way to get progressive candidates is by moving the Overton window to the left, and the only way to do that is by voting for Democrats.
