Meaningfully poisoning your data is like… 10 books worth of stuff to know. I like the idea, but focusing on not sending it is usually the easiest route

This genuinely surprises me, I can understand having driver issues, but I honestly have had a perfect experience with extended desktop and screen mirroring, never a single problem. While finding Windows’ to be ass

If AI paid fairly for their training data, they’d be making the biggest losses in human history.

It’s almost like all successful capitalist business is based on theft and exploitation.

Weren’t all these points equally valid when the West actively thrust Ukraine into war, too?

You’re assuming NATO instead maybe cares about the lives of non-Ukrainians in Europe, I wouldn’t rely on that. We are all meat for the MIC profit blender. Winning or losing the war is almost irrelevant, no citizen of the core is safe so long as their deaths might make line go up in the short term.

Turns out they never wanted to. They were just conscripted under threat of execution.

Ain’t no critical successes on skill checks yo

All the result of debtors (IMF and the like) trying to collect on old debts, that’s about it

Maria’s history is interesting, she’s basically spent her entire career calling every Venezuelan election fraudulent.

Jimmy Carter himself decried her and her organisation as releasing “deliberately erroneous” information. I guess she’s just more politically convenient now.

I really wish I wasn’t, but some freaky thing about my Galaxy means I have no compatible ROMs

What real number is he? There’s infinity people before him too

Bottom. No matter what your “real” number assignation in the queue is, theres an infinite number of people before the train gets to you. Therefore every single person will live a full life before the train reaches them.

In the end it depends on your definition of “bigger”. Traditionally, we use “bigger” to just refer to who has the highest number or count, but neither apply here.

Imagine we have a straight line of skittles. Lines with more are defined as “bigger”. Now imagine the line is expanded into another dimension, a square. Is it still “bigger”? Each line has the same count, so it’s traditional “bigness” value is unchanged…

The sizes of infinities are about set theory, and including more “dimensions” of number. Not really about which has “more” or “grows faster”. Your even v all integers is actually a classic example of two same-size infinities E.g. an infinite stack of one dollar bills and one of ten dollar bills are worth the same

The issue is you can conventionally bomb places with a very low civilian death rate, or go wild and kill many civilians. But with a nuke, you’ll only ever do the latter.

And the US knew it. They already knew Japan was starting surrender negotiations

Yep. They did it because they heard the Japanese were trying to surrender and the USSR was about to be involved, and they refused to share the credit for victory.

250,000 dead civilians because the US wanted to be the sole victor instead of a joint one.

Amazon, no thanks

Not even a giveaway, you pay for it

The only thing I’m pushing for from the government now is proportional voting before the next election. Otherwise we’ll be in a fascist Reform hell.

Tell me how to show all icons in the taskbar notification area. So I can see all active programs.

Tell me how to pause updates indefinitely until I want to update. Such that my computer doesn’t restart without my sayso, causing me to lose tons of work.

Spoiler, you cannot. A computer I can’t keep turned on, or see my active programs, does not “just work”.
