Is aviation getting more dangerous? Anyone in the field know? We've had multiple crashes this year when we had gone multiple years without a fatal crash in the 2010s.

Even when protesting the war they only care about their hostages.

Not saying they shouldn't care about them, but deliberately only caring about them and not the tens of thousands of Palestinian women and children they murdered speaks volumes.

In what way is a suggestion for improving Lemmy anti Lemmy propaganda?

Apologies, I should have made it more clear that I was talking in general and not directed at you or this post specifically.

Judging people on the kind of food they like is literally the dumbest shit ever. You're not the one eating it so why do you care?

My new baseless theory: We know that AI is trained on tons of novels and fictional stories. Is it possible that because all novels have significant conflicts and drama, and stories where some person just boringly does his boring job forever aren't exactly bestsellers, the AI is maybe trying to inject drama even when it makes no sense, since it's been conditioned that way through the training data? So it's seeing these inconsequential issues and since every novel it's ever "read" turns them into massive conflicts, it's trying to follow suit?

In the same way your fridge needs a web browser.

Though the point of this is probably not that it will be a viable product, but managing a vending machine is one of those seemingly easy and straightforward tasks that make good starting applications to test the AI with. Basically, if it can't even handle something as simple as a vending machine, it definitely can't be trusted with anything more complex.

"You call yourself a beverage machine?!"

"I call myself Bev."

Which might be understandable if they were lowly conscripted soldiers, but the ones that got into NATO were high ranking officers and other leaders in the Nazi party, many of whom architected the Holocaust.

It takes years and a ton of personal effort and commitmemt to climb the ranks of any military or party. Even if you did get conscripted, why did you keep going?

"Help I'm being forced to use my own cruelty and demonic propensity for making people suffer to organize a genocide after I spent years proving that I was the right person for the job! My only hope is if a peaceful, civilized, Western military alliance hires me once this ordeal that I'm in no way enjoying or benefiting from is over!"

The US praised the Nazis for killing the communists. They supported their "cause" riiiiight up until they started attacking western Europe AKA the countries that actually matter.

The US also hired tons of Nazi "scientists," including granting them immunity for their roles in the Holocaust. They also granted the head of Unit 731 immunity (specifically from the USSR who rightly wanted him executed) in exchange for the human experimentation data. NATO coincidentally also has a ton of Nazis in its leadership.

The US went as far as installing prominent Nazi figures back into West Germany in the same way they let confederates go back to their lives after the civil war. Whereas the Soviets executed Nazi leaders in East Germany because that's what they fucking deserve. The US then claimed that the executed Nazis were victims of communism and included them in their "communism death toll" numbers.

This isn't an error. The US has always been sympathetic to Nazis, before, during, and after the war. They only begrudgingly pitched in against them because they viewed western Europe as slightly more important.

Finally, the US didn't even fucking do that much. Certainly nowhere near enough to justify their claim that they "saved the world" in WWII. The USSR and UK each did far more yet the US seems to think the USSR was fighting for the Nazis and the UK was a scared poodle hiding in their island until the heroic Americans came to save them, when in reality, the tide had already turned against the Nazis by the time the US joined. They also nuked Japan just because they could, it had nothing to do with the war because they already had intelligence that Japan was about to surrender.

Mandarin:

No "the," you just say the noun and that's it.

"A" or any other quantity of a noun is generalized as a number, followed by a character indicating quantity, followed by the noun. "An apple" is 一个苹果 (yi ge ping guo), 一 literally means one, 个 is the character that denotes quantity (it's the most common one but some nouns have different quantity adjectives), 苹果 is apple. Two is an exception because there's a special character for it that's different from the number two (两个苹果 as opposed to 二个苹果), but every other number quantity is the same as the number itself.

I'll bite, in what way are left wing incels different? Genuinely curious because I've never heard incels split into right vs left before.

Just tried it. Am I Unique says yes.

Tor still reports your operating system and processor architecture which is dumb as hell. If you're on Linux for example, that's probably one of the biggest things making you unique. Why not just make everyone "Windows x64" since that's the most common?

It also still reports extensions. Apparently it's definitely possible to tell vanilla Tor and Tails users apart because Tails has uBlock Origin installed by default, and the generally accepted advice is to never install extensions on Tor, one reason being it could make you unique.

Also, apparently the default window size Tor chooses in an attempt to prevent the window size from being used in fingerprinting isn't all that common, I got 1% and 5% on screen width and height respectively.

Tor doesn't seem to have WebGL enabled by default so it can't be used to fingerprint (though having it disabled is unique in itself).

Tor's canvas data is unique but I've heard that it generates a new canvas fingerprint each time you restart it. I don't know if that's true or how well it works though.

Tor, like every other browser, also has something called "audio data" that's a weird graph of numbers without units. No browser I've seen has ever not been unique for that category and Tor is no different. I didn't mention it in the post because I don't know what it is or if it has a genuine purpose or not.

I didn't try Tor on my phone but I would hope it would block sensor access?

One of the biggest reasons websites need to run JS is submitting form data to a server. Like this website.

But old forums did all this without JS by just using the HTML form's submit functionality itself. The issue is it causes the page to refresh meaning you can't keep any other unsubmitted forms, and you can get those annoying "submit form data again?" popups. So every website writes code to submit everything asynchronously.

Another major reason for using JS is dropdown menus and panels. You need to either write code to listen for the click and reveal/hide it as needed, or you have to do weird CSS tricks that are usually inferior in UX to a JavaScript implementation, or you have to bastardize the form dropdown selector into your general purpose dropdown.

These shouldn't be things you need to implement yourself using a Turing complete programming language. These should be natively implemented in the browser and accessible through HTML.

Remember when the only way to play videos on websites was with Flash or Java applets? But then video playback got natively implemented into HTML and now it's way easier and doesn't even require JS.

If browsers did the same for asynchronous form submission and dropdown menus, it would get rid of 80% of websites' need to run JS. Including this one.

But obviously they want you to run JS so they won't do that.

The majority of gang members also grew up poor and joined a gang to get out of poverty. Does that make it justified?

This is literally the same logic as when the schoolyard bully grabs your hand, hits your face with it, and tells you to stop hitting yourself.

Shows Israel's mental maturity.
