Not American, I thought national guard and army are different because the national guard do stuff like security at disaster sites and riots which the army aren't allowed to?
They want to be more affluent than surrounding towns and monopolise beauty spots, entertainments, and culture but they don't want to share - I mean yeah of course rbey want that but surely they understand no one else will support them in it?
Move to somewhere not as touristy, oh you don't want to because you like the stuff that is a draw to other people too? Crying shame.
Dvd is 480p so let's not cry about only getting over twice the pixels through a stream, dvd also has jank compression compared to most streaming codex.
And I don't pirate, I just watch higher quality content that isn't proprietary by focusing on small creators especially those making under copy left licensing or cc0 like Jago Hazard
Why would I care what a billion or trillion dollar corporation wants to brainwash me with? You're never going to see honest opinions in a Marvel movie or accurate social commentary, how many times do I need a film with the moral message 'rich people are good actually'
OK well in that case I commend you, though to be really good maybe you should download them to a drive after purchase and then you can donate the dvds for someone else or a community center.
Yeah it's funny to watch, these are companies full of literally the best educated and most dedicated people using the most upto date tools and are regulated by incredibly serious and well organized bodies.
Yet everything they do is terrible and broken because they're owned by Elon, a man I'm repeatedly told is a feckless layabout who does nothing but run his yap on Twitter...
The reality is people are experiencing reality like reality TV, they know Elon as a personality and they dislike his personality and since there's only a cast of about half a dozen characters he's the bad guy and as marvel movies teach us bad guys are ontological evil and everything they're involved in is awful...
Reality is the other CEOs are often weird too, the general population of workers is full of weird people - many with totally trash opinions... yes it sucks that distasteful people are involved in good things or people with some bad opinions also have some good opinions or agree with sensible ideas but that is how reality works. When people act like anything Elon is involved in can only be bad it just makes it clear they don't live in reality, they live in ideology.
Ha no I'm not an iPhone user but regardless a phone is useful as it allows me to live more efficiently - not traveling to have every important conversation saves resources on its own and there's thousands of other practical uses -- wasting resources needlessly just to be a hipster is totally different.
I just find it funny that lemmy on one hand clmaours to cheer on terrorism in the name of the climate and all that stuff but simultaneous gets super mad any time anyone suggests the slightest lifestyle change for the sake of the environment - even if it's objectively better.
DVD is a digital format so if you want to watch it in that lowered quality then you can download it in that codec and get literally exactly the same experience - but no, you need an entire wastful industry making short lived plastic disks just to make you feel superior to everyone using the objectively better technology.
Let the DVD factories close, stop making chemical coated plastic needlessly and grow up.
Again you're confused, it's the same difficulty people have with the word 'fruit' because in botany we use it very specifically but colloquially it means a sweet tasting enable bit of a plant regardless of what role it plays in reproduction. Colloquially you'd be correct to say that corn grain is not fruit but scientifically you'd be very wrong. Ever eaten an Almond and said 'what a tasty fruit?' probably not unless your a droll biology teacher making a point to your class.
Likewise in biology no one expects a slug or worms or similar to analyze and solve problems but if you look up scientific papers about slug intelligence you'll find plenty, though a lot will also be about simulating their intelligence using various coding methods because that's a popular phd thesis recently - computer science and biology merge in such interesting ways.
The term AI is a scientific term used in computer science and derives its terminology from definitions used in the science of biology.
What you're thinking of is when your mate down the pub says 'yeah he's really intelligent, went to Yale and stuff'
They are different languages, the words mean different things and yes that's confusing when terms normally only used in textbooks and academic papers get used by your mates in the pub but you can probably understand that almonds are fruit, peanuts are legumes but both will likely be found in a bag of mixed nuts - and there probably won't be a strawberry in with them unless it was mixed by the pedantic biology teacher we met before...
Language is complex, AI is a scientific term not your friend at the bar telling you about his kid that's getting good grades.
That's because you don't have a basic understanding of language, if you had been exposed to the word intelligence in scientific literature such as biology textbooks then you'd more easily understand what's being said.
'Rich in nutrients?! How can a banana be rich when it doesn't have a job or generational wealth? Makes me so fucking mad when these scientists lie to us!!!'
The comment looks dumb to you because you understand the word 'rich' doesn't only mean having lots of money, you're used to it in other contexts - likewise if you'd read about animal intelligence and similar subjects then 'how can you call it intelligence when it does know basic math' or 'how is it intelligent when it doesn't do this thing literally only humans can do' would sound silly too.
Big fan of the free info for the world, state funded open source solutions targeted at shitty companies would be good too - I'd probably start by utterly destroying Adobe snd then an open source printer that's easy to manufacture on fllosh machines to kill HP and the rest of the awful junk companies.
This is hilarious, so you support genocide and brutality against innocent people if they're related to or friends with someone who posts opinions you don't like on social media?
You moral highlanders are the funniest things you really are.
I'm guessing qanon brand crazies, Alex Jones types are constantly saying that the dems are trying to force everyone to eat bugs so I imagine it's related to that.
