repression of civil unrest and of radicals in active struggle against the state, including murder of those people, is not the same thing as genocide and it's absurd to conflate these two things

like, you can't search youtube for exact words anymore. it just refuses to do that kind of search. things become increasing just centered around what the AI thinks will make you watch videos and therefore sell ads

sometimes I find that it's impossible to find videos or information that a few years ago I could find, and the tools for doing so have vanished

YouTube search has gotten REALLY bad in the recent past, it's absolutely trash

rather than the web being a wonderful source of information, it is increasingly just a pile of trash trying to extract money from your presence

a good thread

the root of all evil in the modern web is monopolism and copyright. the web started getting shit -- truly shit not just banner ads but really bad -- when the acquisition-as-growth monopolism started emerging with tech companies, and when DRM became the default mode of creating lock in.

rather than building new stuff, sufficiently large companies could just buy startups. and so rather than risk losing users, companies could just acquire potential competitors and avoid the risk

and to keep those users locked in, they could add the slimmest of DRM and turn webscraping into a felony

the larger a company is, the more incentive it has to do this and the more resources it has to do this

the solution is to break up the tech giants and repeal section 1201 of the dmca

the current conflict between Israel and Palestine has revealed publicly how little the powers that be care about Palestinians, which will motivate Israel to go further, as they know that they have support for horrible atrocities

don't get me wrong, i love the two transmascs who are on disco, and the transfemme whos on snw, but why is it that the transmascs are given these touchy feely soft emo roles and the transfemme is given this man-hungry villain role

wouldn't it be cool if Star Trek had a trans feminine character who wasn't evil, and trans masculine characters that weren't uwu delicate soft boys who must be protected? like, you know, something that actually doesn't reinforce the transphobic narrative currently dominates the media?

@rose wtf is this music doing on cspan lmfao

@emilygorcenski sure but like, binary trees are also graphs up isomorphism

@emilygorcenski they are certainly all graphs but like, the *particular* subset of graphs matters, right? like, a tree with parent pointers is _a_ graph, but not all graphs are trees with parent pointers

@dragora @emilygorcenski i mean, im just looking for the description for a general class of data types

@dragora @emilygorcenski everyone suggests this and it's technically correct but also technically incorrect. yes it's a connected graph, but that's not a sufficiently precise description because most connected graphs are not examples of what i mean

computer science folx! i have a question about a name for a class of data structures!

is there a name for data structures where if you have a pointer to one node, you can access any other node?

for instance, binary trees with child points *and* parent pointers
