the tyranny of majority will emerge
Which is why in most democracies there are inalienable rights and due process.
The success of the CEO is dependent of supply and demand, if there are no monopolical privileges
Unless they are a monopoly. Which most societies have established rules to prevent. Outside of those rules, we've seen time and time again such form. Capitalism doesn't have an inbuilt mechanism that prevents a single person owning everything, that tends to be the problem we run into often.
Following your logic, the citizens voting him is a perfect clue of this, am I right?
He's allowed to follow the process to remove the process. That doesn't mean that's a good choice. But yeah, you can absolutely use that logic to follow to that end. That's the nice thing about democracy it's flexible enough to become a ship we built to wreck. And voters are empowered enough to sink themselves if they so wish. So I question what freedom is not present currently that you lament the lack of?
but he's the only one who explicitly showed that, like donating each month his salary (funded by taxes) and not funding certain political campaigns
Yeah, that's not the altruism that it looks like. He's ultimately picking who is getting that money of his. He's picking which campaigns to not find funding. That's the point, not the money part the power part. The money part is one thing, the power part is something that one would be ill advised to lose sight of.
Citizens has no direct influence in the process of decision politicians make
They're not made to. Citizens have oversight and challenge on the wisdom of representatives. It would be unwise to have 500,000 peoples' hands on the steering wheel. There's no one direction we would be going in then.
The term "slave" is not valid because those workers voluntary agreed, in a contract, the amount of money they'd get to do certain job
When the choice is "go hungry" or "work" that's hardly voluntary. You will find it hard to convince me otherwise.
but accusing him of fascist? It does not make any sense.
If you read though my comments, at no point did I indicate him as fascist. Authoritarian, yes. He's looking to consolidate power to himself to enact change unilaterally, that's authoritarian. Not every authoritarian is fascist but it is important to understand the fertile ground such leaves for the future. Lenin didn't invent Stalin but he sure opened the door. And that's something to consider.
Our study supports current dietary recommendations for limiting consumption of red meat intake and emphasizes the importance of different alternative sources of protein for T2D prevention.
I think there's going to be lots of people who get on here and think this study says "eat no red meat" or even "eat no meat". But that is not what is being said. The recommendation for red meat intake is:
Limit consumption to no more than about three portions per week. Three portions is equivalent to about 350–500g (about 12–18oz) cooked weight.
Which is quite a bit of red meat to begin with. So if you're eating above that rate, that's a pretty intense rate of consumption. You should really diversify your diet. We already know that high rates of red meat is responsible for colorectal cancer so that T2D also comes with it shouldn't be a surprise for anyone.
At no point is any researcher indicating anyone swap over to Vegan. The World Cancer Research Fund indicates:
This Recommendation is not to completely avoid eating meat. Meat can be a valuable source of nutrients, in particular protein, iron, zinc and vitamin B12. However, eating meat is not an essential part of a healthy diet.
The highlight is mine, but the point is that red meat is not a requirement for a healthy diet. Like anything, too much of any ONE thing is not good for anyone. I think the red meat eaters of the world look at all of this as an attack on their way of life and that's hardly the case. Red meat is a good source for various nutrients, but the rate that "SOME" eat it at is unhealthy and that's what really needs to be put into check.
And it's not just the "if I eat 24oz of meat, I need to exercise extra", that just takes care of the caloric value, but that doesn't address the nitrosylation of cell walls by nitroso compounds formed by the ingestion of red meat. Your body is setup to take a particular amount of this kind of damage (humans are omnivores after all) but continually doing it means malformed cells that could become cancer get more chances for expression. No amount of exercise rebuilds that cellular lining just like no amount of exercise rebuilds lung tissue damaged by smoking. Only time fixes that.
I myself stay away from red meat as a personal choice, but I think everyone should have that choice. But I think it's important to note there's an upper bound of red meat humans can eat and there's a lot of humans that are eating between ten to twenty times that amount. Like, I get it red meat eaters, you really like red meat, by all means continue onward, but I think it is important to consider for a moment how far over 18oz/wk cooked weight some go. I myself eat 0 oz/wk, but I know that's not for everyone, but I also know that 18oz/wk is just unsustainable.
I don't want to take anything away from anyone, I just ask that the red meat eaters keep the amount they ingest in their mind. Colorectal cancer is something I would wish on no one (as I've seen some family members die of it), and if there is something that I can encourage anyone to do to lessen their chances of getting it, I would highly recommend being mindful of it.
We were just warming it back up for ya!
Let's solve "economic inequality" with more statism!
I can vote the State, I can't vote the CEO.
Obviously, wanting to reduce the monopolical privileges of politicians
That's the citizens job, not his. Milei just wants to reduce the privileges of those disagreeing, at no point would Milei want to reduce the privileges that allows him to unilaterally reduce the political privileges of those opposed to him. Let him actually put forward something that actually indicates that HE wants less power and we'll talk about this aspect.
public spending and taxes
Again it's the citizens that dictate that. I can vote for people wanting to build something in the State, not a CEO that wants to build a highway for the goodwill of mankind.
erradicating the central bank
Nobody wants to be the "bad guy". Many nations are suffering the fate of too long supportive monetary policy without fiscal policy to follow. Same can be said about the USA. They rode too high and too far on quantitative easing at some point the party ends and nobody likes being "that guy". Again, that's mostly on the backs of the capricious voters who don't like mild inconveniences so they hold out for major ramifications. And why? There's way less disposable income in the hands of the many. So literally any inconvenience is a massive blow to their way of life. And it shouldn't be a hard guess for you to figure out why so many in the public have so little.
increasing work flexibility and advocating for individual rights and liberty
Every "work flexibility" I've ever seen pitched is just code for turning people into wage slaves. Sort of how like the UK got a lot of "trade flexibility" with Brexit. Once I've seen a working example that didn't actually fuck everyday citizens over, we'll talk.
As for individual rights and selling organs. I'm actually cool with that. There's quite a list of incredibly wealthy people I'd like to exercise those rights on.
fascist af
It's just that every time I've seen someone purpose breaking the system to make it better, they just want to break the system so that they can profit. I literally expect nothing less from Milei. This is the age of grift, why should anyone believe any one who pitches "I swear, I'll build something better, just first give me the power to destroy every protection you have first." Sure buddy, sure you will.
Economic inequality being one of the biggest drivers of democratic back sliding. Shitty part is that authoritarian doesn’t really offer anything better.
The wealthiest people of this world have created a world that’s tearing itself apart. And their only hedge is the thought that we will all be too busy killing each other that we forget completely about them. Hence these megalomaniacs that appear as distraction to keep us fighting each other.
Yeah, logo is there. From BestBuy site.

Unsustainable state subsidies are not capitalism. Remember it’s not just the Chinese that do this kind of stuff.
Classic case of, “I’m not giving up, I’m giving in.”
“Nobody wants women and children to do poorly, but you also can’t lose money year over year on a service line,” said Dr. John Waits, CEO of the nonprofit Cahaba Medical Care
I mean we could if hospitals weren’t profit driven and doctors were State employees, but I mean, what do I know?
For everyone not reading the story. The majority of this is from rich people, large businesses, and partnerships. The IRS is indicating that they need to go after those people I just listed more. Why CBS decided to write the headline in a manner that makes it sound like they are coming after everyone, is likely because they knew it would generate more "emotions" about those connotations.
The agency has said it wants to go after higher earners who skirt their tax obligations in order to help close the tax gap and raise more money for federal coffers
But the story indicates that the IRS feels like they need to go after rich people even more based on their recently released data. At no point in the story did the IRS indicate that they needed to take the average household and put the clamps on them. Thank you for your time.
A few weeks later.
Aw man, someone coded the routine that checks if the person is from Hamas to always return true. Woopsie Doodle.
Depart policy is to have the taser on the opposite of the body. Sgt. Langan had his taser strapped to the front of his vest.
Failure to follow department policy.
Training is to happen every year. Sgt. Langan had training maybe two or three times.
Department failure to uphold document protocol.
I mean just these two alone they're going to be ripped apart in a civil suit. There's just this whole chain of broken from start to finish, literally none of the links interconnect. This department probably has a ton of systemic issues that State level oversight ought to get involved, but we know that the issues won't be addressed, the department will ask to settle out of court, and literally no one will be punished except the tax payer who will float that settlement.
White phosphorus in general is not a war crime.
General document for covering this is the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, in this particular case Protocol III, Article I §1(b)(i).
Munitions which may have incidental incendiary effects, such as illuminants, tracers, smoke or signalling systems
Of which White Phosphorus is typically within that category. It is incendiary and can randomly burn people, homes, and fields but the intended use is usually not to set fire but to provide cover, illumination, tracing, or signalling. There just happens to be a burning side effect that the UN usually shrugs off.
How it's used however can become a war crime. Article II of the same Protocol § 2 and 3
It is prohibited in all circumstances to make any military objective located within a concentration of civilians the object of attack by air-delivered incendiary weapons.
and
It is further prohibited to make any military objective located within a concentration of civilians the object of attack by means of incendiary weapons other than air-delivered incendiary weapons, except … and all feasible precautions are taken with a view to limiting the incendiary effects to the military objective…
So basically, you cannot deliver via aircraft, which video indicates that these were ground launched 155mm white phosphorus artillery projectiles, so check on (2), BUT it's debatable that Israel followed (3) and took all precautions to minimize civilians getting in the way. But I mean, does anyone really believe the UN holds anyone to any kind of scrutiny?
So… I hope that answers your question.
You can literally build one. Here's a guide on doing it.
If you cannot find a header you can snip off a DVI-M1 header and with a Dremel or a small hammer "coax" the shield around the pins to agree with the mating end of an ADC. At least that's going to be "good enough". You can also do stabbing with 20 AWG and then epoxy pour, solder DVI stabs, and then pour again to make a "good enough" cable.
The thing is this cable itself is passive. There's not special circuits, power, or anything inside the cable. In general, ADC is just DVI + USB + Power for your monitor, that's it. It's just those wires all bundled up into a single cable. And technically speaking, if you're handy with desoldering, you can take a Cinema Display and do a breakout to DVI, USB, and a barrel plug and just ignore the bake your own cable. Or if you're going to a modern monitor from an old Mac, you don't need to bring power and USB with you, you just need to break out the DVI that's coming out of the video card.
The thing is, getting into vintage computing is a challenge. And likely these folks are hitting a new challenge to them, that for folks who've been doing this for a while have just come to embrace. Learning to solder, learning digital electronics, and lots of patience. Specifically to this group, it looks like they need a solution to the G4 Cube. There's multiple video cards out there that will fit into the machine, the Apple Radeon 7500 is one that would provide VGA ports that can go to modern monitors.
But I think what gets me is this part of their petition.
The ability to service and maintain our technology not only extends its lifespan but also reduces electronic waste. By enabling vintage Apple Macs to connect with modern monitors through the Belkin F2E9142-WHT ADC to DVI cable, we can prevent unnecessary disposal of these iconic machines.
Getting into vintage computing or arcade boxes or whatever, yeah "the ability to service and maintain" is paramount. But the onus is on us, the people doing the collecting, to service and maintain. I get that the Belkin cable provides a nice easy solution but ultimately, not to sound corny, we do these things not because they are easy but because they are hard to do.
And also, as I mentioned, this cable is passive so it's fairly easy compared to say the Nintendo GameCube's Component Video cable that had an active circuit inside the cable that took a lot of effort to eventually reverse engineer. But the point being is that vintage digital collecting is a very rough thing to get into, it takes a lot of love and really getting that enjoyment out of very complex challenges. It's one of those "I love it, but I don't recommend it" kind of things.
EDIT: Also I think this part of the article hits best.
As always, you should also consider the fact that Apple has made many proprietary connectors in its day, some of which are easier to find than others. There's lots of iPhone Lightning Adapters out there these days, but who knows where we'll be in 30 years.
Yeah, this is why open standards and the right to repair is really important. And one of the main things about FOSS and the open source community is this really important thing to remember:
Everyday, more of your life and technology will intersect. We are living in an age where Internet access and technology to access it is as crucial as having a mailbox for mail to get to. Proprietary solutions, closed standards, and planned obsolescence are modern ways to gatekeep your ability to freely access this new modern society. We are getting closer everyday where this technology dictates if you can or cannot participate in society. It is vital to have as the bedrock of this technology, the principal of free access to all, so that everyone can freely participate in this society we are growing into.
There's a joke about shift registers and delay-line memory but you'll have to wait till it comes back to me.
Principal Lance Murphy is literally just going to die on this hill apparently. Between the massive cost the school district took because of the 2020 court loss over this exact same thing, and this giant L the school district is about to take for not only being now in Violation of Federal Law but also Texas literally passed a law, because of this asshat and the 2020 loss, indicating that he's not legally allowed to do exactly what he's doing.
The school district also filed a lawsuit in state district court asking a judge to clarify whether its dress code restrictions limiting student hair length for boys violates the CROWN Act
Which if you are unsure if your policy is violating a law or not, you should likely not have the policy until the court gives you more clarity. Because if the Courts do indeed indicate that the school is in violation of Texas' CROWN Act, they've just handed this kid millions of dollars in restitution, which I guess they can just pile on top of the millions this school district has blown so far on litigation.
You would think that at some point taxpayers would be up in arms, but nope it's Texas, blowing billions on stupid lawsuits is their thing.
Friday
Judge: Does the defense have anything to add to today's record?
Trump's legal counsel: No we do not your Honor.
Judge: Then the Court is adjourned until Monday at eleven o'clock in the morning.
