  • You could take back all the manufacturing done for your country's company to help them get there faster. Or is it just their problem when you can just profit off of it? coal or otherwise.

  • YouTube’s Rulings on Gaza War Videos Spark Internal Backlash
  • Why is it when Israel is trying to eradicate Hamas, thousands of innocent Palestinians are dead? Seems like they planned it just like the song encourages it, doesn't it?

    but keep your head up yours.

  • YouTube’s Rulings on Gaza War Videos Spark Internal Backlash
  • No matter how often wannabes try to point out that companies are "independent" of the government, and time and time again events like this prove that US and its crony companies are one in the same, in bed with each other.

    It's hilarious how much targeted propaganda they swallow from these "independent" big tech companies. It's working as intended.

  • Uncovering Every Lie in MKBHD's Softball Interview; a scathing critique of 'brand safe' influencers
  • Every youtube reviewer's goal is to be popular enough to be a paid shill. It's money they're after, not your praises.

    And Apple marketing invests a lot in their image in internet discussions. There are lot of shills and a lot of sock-puppets that prop them up. Every marketing company does but go to any popular Apple posts on reddit, hackernews, or Twitter, they just have same pattern.

    Why this isn't obvious is just idk.

  • Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims
  • There wouldn't be so much anti-china propaganda, if the popular companies didn't do so much shit behind people's back to drown out the good things coming out of China.

    I mean China is becoming a economic powerhouse, just make your companies not be backdoors until your influence and trust increase without competition. But nooooo, they have to do every worse thing other big tech companies do, but at a script-kiddie level.

  • Open-Source Video Editor 'OpenShot' Gets 'Game-Changer' Update
  • I seek more FLOSS/FOSS stuff where I can

    Oh yes, the open source enthusiast that does fuck all but seek out the most competitive softwares for free and adds nothing but constant moaning and complaining.

    You're doing open-source a great service.

  • Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?
  • I don't feel compelled to argue an interpretation. The facts are well documented and their interpretations by experts available. What anyone chooses to do with these are of no real concern to me.

    but then

    It's weird how many people in this thread are vaguely debating the validity of the historical research into this question when one person has posted a link to a well cited article on this very very heavily studied subject.

    Well cited article aren't proof of existenceof a man. Is spiderman real if enough people cite the comics? A group of influential people could gather and make their own circle of these myths and present it as a fact. And it isn't fucking new.

    Religions and all their influence could force a lot of heavily studied subject to be skewed for their benefit. Hell, there were studies that were treated as standard making sugar and alcohol heavily beneficial for human beings. And we're talking about a person.

  • Finnish startup says it can speed up any CPU by up to 100x using a tiny piece of hardware with no recoding
  • I'm just glad there are companies that are trying to optimize current tech rather than just piling over new hardware every damn year with forced planned obsolescence.

    Though the claim is absurd, I think double the performance is NEAT.

  • Let’s make games open source, so future generations can enjoy them
  • Be the change you want to see. Make some games worth playing and release it as a FOSS and prove it can be a commercial success as well. See how it goes.

    Asking people to release their work for free while providing very little incentives other than your own benefit aren't going to convince people who need to put food on the table NOW, without relying on miniscule probability of popularity or success after pouring years of your time.

  • U.S. as many as 15 years behind China on nuclear power, report says
  • When most of the source of innovation in your country is brain-drain from other countries, but then those countries start fostering their own economy, so smart people want to stay.

One is stripped down to his underwear. [Wikipedia] > > --- > On this day in 1943, the Zoot Suit Riots began when thousands of white American servicemen in California began indiscriminately attacking people (mostly Latinos) wearing Zoot Suits, which were seen as unpatriotic. The suits were ostensibly seen as unpatriotic due to wartime rations, although they were also racialized, with L.A. Councilman Norris Nelson stating "the zoot suit has become a badge of hoodlumism". > > The riots began on the night of June 3rd when ~12 sailors and a group of young Mexicans in zoot suits began fighting. The LAPD responded to the incident "seeking to clean up Main Street from what they viewed as the loathsome influence of pachuco gangs", according to historian Luis Alvarez. The police arrested the sailors and not the Mexicans. > > The next day, 200 sailors headed for East Los Angeles, a Mexican-American part of town, and attacked and stripped everyone they came across who were wearing zoot suits. Local press heralded the violence as cleaning up the town, and soon thousands of sailors joined the riot. Journalist Carey McWilliams described what happened like this: > > "Marching through the streets of downtown Los Angeles, a mob of several thousand soldiers, sailors, and civilians, proceeded to beat up every zoot suiter they could find. Pushing its way into the important motion picture theaters, the mob ordered the management to turn on the house lights and then ran up and down the aisles dragging Mexicans out of their seats. Streetcars were halted while Mexicans, and some Filipinos and Negroes, were jerked from their seats, pushed into the streets and beaten with a sadistic frenzy." > > The L.A. City Council approved a resolution criminalizing zoot suits, although the ordinance was not signed into law. The Navy and Marine Corps Staff prohibited sailors from traveling to L.A. in an effort to curb the violence, however they officially maintained that the men were acting in self-defense. > > --- > - Date: 1943-06-03 > - Learn More: en.wikipedia.org, libcom.org. > - Tags: #Riots. > - Source: www.apeoplescalendar.org
