It didn’t sound like that to me. Americans meddling in other countries is par for the course.

Chinese military harassed Dutch warship enforcing UN sanctions on North Korea, Netherlands says (www.cnn.com)

A Dutch warship was harassed by Chinese military aircraft in the East China Sea on Friday, the Netherlands said, becoming the latest country to accuse Beijing’s forces of initiating potentially unsafe encounters in international waters....

Former colonial powers are accused of doing colonial stuff again. Obviously China is the bad guy for attempting to prevent this violation.

I listen to the words and then arrange them into an order that doesn’t contradict my preconceived notion that Donald is the good one.

Does anyone take this verdict seriously? This is the same criminal justice system that locks up the poor, vulnerable and ethnic minorities. They have criminalised whistleblowers and other truth tellers. They are enslaving ordinary people. The laws they use are often racist. The CIA are assassinating people and subverting nation states with total impunity from this same criminal justice system.

How else could it work? Otherwise it will detect the water flowing and never switch off.

Publishers are a cancer. Knowledge is meant to be shared, freely. (mander.xyz)

The university should be the place demonstrating socioecological change, serving as a site of experimentation and praxis (see Dunlap et al., 2023). This, however, could not be further from the truth. Beside advancing technologies of digital, political and military control (Chatterjee & Maira, 2014), not to mention genetic...

Libgen and Scihub exist for this exact reason. How is it we’ve arrived at a situation where capitalists are deciding how knowledge is propagated?

Greater Idaho movement: 13 counties in eastern Oregon have voted to secede and join Idaho (ktvz.com)

On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho. The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.

It’s almost as if rich people are the common denominator in this equation. Substitute this person into a new context and they find a way to exploit the game in that arena.

The answer lies in the hands of the people who make stuff. When we say we are not going to play this game any more rich people are forced to the negotiation table because they have no chance to make any of the stuff, their stock and trade is lies.

The shift in power from concentrated wealth has been happening for a long time. After the plagues of the 13th century there was a shortage of skilled labour which tipped the balance of power towards common people. This trend has continued despite the tendency towards concentration of wealth. Contemporary examples of this phenomena are the rise of tech workers and open source tools. The pushback from the wealthy class takes the form of closed and proprietary systems, such as Apple products. Whatever we can do as individuals to create open platforms such as Lemmy, Wikipedia and Linux are the way forward.

‘Lone wolf’ like the time Assange embarrassed the Americans with evidence of their crimes and a rape victim magically appears only to disappear again seven years later. The Americans are the real global terrorist organisation.

I would imagine most of these remote interviews are just an initial conversation and an employer would insist on a formal interview in person if they have a policy on physical presence. My policy is to advance the requirement that there be hot chicks in the office if I need to be in that space.

Do you have excess creative energy?

Pour it into discussion that achieves nothing of value.

BilboBargains ,

Do they go on to mention any negative effects?

BilboBargains ,

I get the sense that the author hasn’t tried many or any of these substances and is trotting out the standard line. I didn’t see alcohol, cigarettes and Oxycontin mentioned.

If we’re going to have an adult conversation about addictive substances we should first talk about sugar and junk food. We should also discuss the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle, lack of healthcare and community, ignorance of mental health, motor vehicles, pollution, the criminal justice system, Judeo-Christian culture and being a person of colour. Those will form the major risk factors for human health.

Prevent harmful eruptions with one simple trick. Frees up more time for your other hobbies, like making pipe bombs.

BilboBargains ,

Please elaborate.

BilboBargains ,

Let’s start with some facts.

Race is a political concept. It has no scientific basis so it’s not possible to declare any given person as white, black or whatever.

On the other hand, it is abundantly obvious from outward appearances that some individuals genetic heritage is geographically rooted. Those differences were used to create the political narrative of racism that justified the exploitation of Africa, America, etc. Among the many colonial-era atrocities were genocide and slavery.

There’s a lot of guilt and shame around this topic for white people, particularly white Americans. I’m not convinced that black people care more about blackface than white people do. I personally don’t have a problem with blackface or whiteface but I wouldn’t do it. There’s not much to gain and I don’t want to upset people. I felt uncomfortable enough dressing up as woman (I’m a European white guy) because I looked ridiculous, dressing as a black woman might be a bridge too far for me.

It’s kind of lame that they need to junk the entire apparatus after only a decade. I get that processor technology moves on apace but we already know it does that so why doesn’t a universal architecture exist where nodes can be added at will?

BilboBargains ,

I would imagine it’s very difficult to make a universal architecture but if I have learnt anything about computers it’s that the manufacturers of software and hardware deliberately created opaque and monolithic systems, e.g. phones. They cynically insert barriers to their reuse and redeployment. There’s no profit motive for corporations to make infintitely scalable computers. Short sighted greed is a much more plausible explanation.

The symbols are the most intimidating part of mathematics for me. They are beautiful and mysterious.

Do you practice self care?

Hello. Let’s talk about self-care. Who practices self-care regularly? I’ve been making an absolute effort to practice self-care, and it’s definitely improving my mood. I floss, meditate, do qigong, breathwork, etc. Yes, flossing is self-care, take care of yo teefs. What does everyone do for self-care? Bonus question: Where...

BilboBargains , (edited )

Self care is the thing that brings the most joy to my life so it’s surprising how easy it is to let it slip. Daily meditation is huge. Being out in the wilderness and sunshine in general. Regular light exercise. Fruit and vegetables. Healthy relationships. Learning and teaching. None of these things are news to anyone. The challenge is to maintain a healthy routine.

The EU is one of the few institutions that are fighting the American corporations on our most basic freedoms. It’s the only one with real teeth.

Reinforced concrete was the gift that kept giving to Soviet-era architects. Le Corbusier also approves this post.

BilboBargains ,

As engineers, we should never insert proprietary interfaces into our designs. We shouldn’t obfuscate the design.

The motivation for these toxic practices comes from the business side because it’s profitable. These people won’t share the profits with you because they are psychopaths. Ultimately we are making more waste when electronics cannot be upgraded, maintained and repaired. It’s bad for people and it’s bad for the environment.

They like to cha-cha real smooth. But not too smooth.

Iranian diplomacy operates along the lines of a Jinn. Every move feels like a Faustian bargain. You ask the Jinn for a giant penis and it gives you a giant penis attached to your head, then disappears in a puff of smoke.

BilboBargains ,

The Americans are the sinister and mendacious psychopaths of international diplomacy. It’s much less nuanced and not very interesting.

BilboBargains ,

I don’t have any suggestions, just want to say thanks for making this stuff. It’s very cool.

It’s the banking equivalent of turning your device off for aircraft take off and landing.

If you keep doing stupid shit for long enough you can turn it into a religion. Huge profits will follow. It’s also why the unexamined life is no life at all.

BilboBargains ,

Yes but this time we legalise all the other drugs. Huge profits.

In all seriousness, no drugs should be illegal and healthcare and education should be freely available. Universal income. We would need to make conservatism, lobbying and billionaires illegal.
