Doesn’t have to he illegal at all… I refuse to give up having control because of stupid backwards laws.

well yeah, if you pretend the laws don’t exist then nothing has to be illegal.

You don’t have to be an expert in Israeli politics, the article lays it out for you

Israeli history has taught us that each and every surprise and crisis led to the collapse of the government. That was the case in 1973 [after the Yom Kippur War] with Golda Meir, in 1982 with Menachem Begin in the first Lebanon war, and in 2006, with Ehud Olmert, in the second Lebanon War.

Seems like 9/11 is not a good analogue because Israelis are less tolerant of government security failures than Americans are.

the battle between ad-blockers and ad-blocker-blockers is eternal. adblockers will adapt.

if i block ads, it’s only fair that google tries to block my blocking of their ads. calling this “enshittification” is silly, they didn’t make their product worse they just are doing a better job of enforcing the rule that’s always been there.

It says further down the article that it was a garmin inreach, Which is a GPS device that can send short messages over the iridium satellite network.

i’m not seeing the part of that article where there’s any evidence at all of health care workers pushing anybody to take MAiD.

Indians really going out of their way to prove that yes, they are stupid enough to believe everything modi tells them

yeah absolutely. it’s a problem, and spacex should be criticised for making their space garbage everybody else’s problem.

i’m just saying framing this as “elon keeps losing” because his company’s system is working exactly as it was designed to is pretty dumb.

Obligatory “fuck Elon”, but starlink launches thousands of these things, with an expectation of losing some of them. This isn’t a problem, it’s how the system is designed.

This is like writing an article about how 45 of a frog’s eggs failed to hatch.

so… all those people who argued that trump getting indicted because is no big deal because an indictment is not a conviction, and it’s all poltical… they feel the same way about this, right?

it seemed like a really weird decision for OpenAI to have an AI classifier in the first place. their whole business is to generate output that’s good enough that it can’t be distinguished from what a human might produce, and then they went and made a tool to try and point out where they failed.

Does the G20 ever deliver results?

It’s good for leaders to get together and talk to each other. But expecting something concrete to come out of this seems silly. That’s not the point. The “declaration” will just be the usual “we agree to work together for the betterment of humanity” or some vague bullshit.

it sucks more everywhere else

Alternate version: Chinese authorities save city from flooding by diverting the waters to less populated areas, saving lives and minimizing financial losses

i doubt they want to take it that far, but i’ve got to assume at least some of putin’s cronies are thinking if they goad him into something stupid enough, they can get rid of him and take over for themselves.

“His father” in this summary refers to the father of one of the victims, not the father of the man accused of selling poison to suicidal people.

Food production is 35% of global greenhouse gases. Meat accounts for 60% of the emissions from food production. So yeah, if we cut global meat consumption in half it would absolutely make a dent.

Blaming the corporations is just a convenient way of putting the responsibility on somebody else. You can’t eat beef and then blame the farmer for the emissions caused by cattle production. You can’t drive a big truck and then blame the oil companies for the emissions. You can’t fly around the world and then blame the airlines. Corporations are selling stuff to people. Their emissions look huge because they’re the aggregate emissions of millions of people.

fun fact: if you try to actually boil a frog, it jumps out of the pot. frogs aren’t that dumb.
