fraud charges for anyone claiming it to be non fiction and censorship similar to what porn gets for religious media

This looks a bit like https://boringnews.co/newsletters/index.html

ISP mitm sounds infuriating

I'd like a single atheist state where Palestine and Israeli have equal rights but religion is strictly outlawed. But I wouldn't kill people to achieve that, so I think my endgame isn't gonna happen

No, I didn't anticipate significant backslash. The criticism of Wikipedia is valid, but I'm comparing it to the raw stream of BS I get on social media, not to an idealistic vision of what wikipedia should be

When I want to read something relatively well verified and unbiased I reach for Wikipedia. They are doing a better job than any other source I found on the internet so far on keeping things clear of BS

I guess it wasn't about the price for you then

consciousness is just an illusion. the only hard problem is people trying to make reality fit into their beliefs instead of the other way around

The trade-offs probably aren't the same for developed and 3rd world countries. I want the free public schools to be as good as they can and have the private ones too

you need to at least be able to explain what is wrong. a "this is bad" criticism is just frustrating

I don't think it was ever born to have died. I think they grossly overestimated how much this tech would improve

Everything’s generative-AI, GANs, LLMs… now, which do not produce any value,

hey, I think my LLM satire news thing is cool, at least I have fun with it

better things exist, but nothing is ever perfect.

it would be better to learn to dettach your self-esteem from the job. think on work like the chore it is, like taking out the trash and washing dishes, something you do to pay the bills

I took decades of experience plus adhd medication and depression medication to get where I am. I still feel annoyed to be using tech I don't like and doing stuff I don't like, but I'm handling it a lot better now

there is a lot of full remote software dev jobs in the US, but they advertise them here in South America and India, for 20% to 50% of what they pay for americans

Government doing everything works better when the government has enough money for it, our taxes, with an already high tax burden, makes about 100 usd for person/month IIRC. There is no policy that will work around that

Oh, Bolsonaro is gone, now we have Lula, moving from the extreme right to the extreme left. He wouldn't kill public education, just intensify the communist propaganda that already happens there

I don't think there is a good answer for that, but someone will have to take hamas down. I don't blame the Palestine people for not dying trying to take them down, and I don't blame Israel for doing it either.

On what they should do about Israel, almost any kind of protest you can imagine would give better results than the shit hamas is doing.

They could throw poo on baloons on Israel direction. They could invade dressed weirdly and throwing pies or water on the face of Israelis. Anything that would make them annoyed, think on the problem, and that had the chance of bringing people to their side instead inviting a war they won't win.

Hamas isn't there to solve the problem. They knew from the start what reaction it would cause and that it wouldn't improve palestinian lives or piece. They wanted to make things worse to keep relevant for the people that want war

Dunno, I live in Brazil, I'm used to things not working. Getting from here to what they have in Finland is unlikely

I won't say any war is justified from the comfort of my couch

this shitty false dichotomy again, the options aren't just dying or murdering civilians, but I would rather just die than murder random civilians in a party anyway
