@moffintosh @FourOh-LLC @icedquinn words can hardly describe the irony of you using the word “blabber” after posting almost exclusively commie word salad.

@icedquinn @moffintosh it’s almost as if people don’t want to work on the things that are actually needed and need some pressure, so every system that tries to get away from having to work to enjoy life ends up with having to work to not go to a gulag, funny that.

@moffintosh @icedquinn
>nooo you misunderstand, the wageslave life of 996 even worse than in any developed capitalist countries is fine because it's calculated by Marx teachings

Western commies simping for China is the wildest thing.

>capitalism is making us work too much, we need to change the system
>that other system has people work even more but it's ok because it's not capitalism
>sure it might be less efficient and result in worse quality of life but at least we can work more and lick the party's boots

@coolboymew @kirby

@mangeurdenuage @MK2boogaloo @coolboymew damn, I didn’t think it was that bad. And here we were joking about the UK potentially becoming the first formerly developed country…

@freemo I assume they just announce themselves so the traffic would be comparable to being in a room with some people whose phones have bluetooth turned on and discoverable, especially with bluetooth's puny range.

@icedquinn you’re talking about bone conductors? Usually ANC works by nullifying the sound waves in the air before they reach your bones, ANC in bone conductors is probably fighting them there, which doesn’t sound pleasant.

@freemo @mike805 @freepeoplesfreepress also take note of memetic evolution. Cultures that didn’t eat human meat didn’t get sick from it and so thrived better than those that did, no matter if they realised the connection or not. Similar to how some Abrahamic religions forbid pork, which carried parasites and similar unpleasantries but is forbidden because apparently God hates it.

@icedquinn @kaia @Jens_Rasmussen american propaganda / stupid view on the rest of the world, Europe absolutely cares about free speech and only a couple of outlier countries limit it for extreme cases. (Like openly urging to violence, which is the case in the US too.) Similarly with religion, religious freedom is treated very seriously. (Probably more than in the US, since there it’s mostly a mask to let protestants do whatever they want, including where it infringes on freedom of other religions.)

@icedquinn this is a hard topic, as giving institutions control is dangerous but leaving it entirely with parents can be tragic. There are some things nearly everyone agrees on that parents shouldn’t be able to ruin. Forgoing education at all is one of them, forgoing early treatment with good success rate for a lethal problem at least comes close. Leaving a child to die a painful death because a parent is an idiot and will attempt to treat cancer with MMC is not good.
Children aren’t their parents’ property and it makes sense that some of their rights as humans and citizens will be defended even against them.

@icedquinn children don’t really have bodily autonomy, in this case it’s either parents or doctors overriding it. Children are people that shouldn’t suffer from more stupid decisions of their parents, so this is in line with the rest of how they’re treated.

@icedquinn with a short attention span both reading and writing seem easier than recording and listening. For me for sure at least.

@freemo makes sense, but it’s not even readable and breaks my web UI :D Also this was supposed to be a reply to https://mas.to/@pkalbers/111502221591441892 but didn’t work right for some reason. That might’ve been me clicking the wrong thing though, but check it out yourself.

QOTO’s latex rendering seems to not work well for full document definitions lol
@freemo look

@lanodan @coolboymew apparently the Event Horizon Telescope (global array of radio-telescopes) uses people flying on planes with suitcases full of HDDs as the main form of data transfer.

Each telescope records at a rate of 64 Gbps, and each observation period can last more than 10 hours. This means each site generates around half a petabyte of data per run. With each site recording simultaneously, Blackburn said the high recording speed and sheer volume of data captured made it impractical to upload to a cloud.

@coolboymew the funniest part is that occasionally someone does strap whatever the current equivalent of a terabyte SD card is to a homing pigeon and beats an ISP in throughput. I’ve seen news of one of those cases relatively recently. (This year or the past couple of years.)

@freemo hey, it is the fault of capitalism. Wouldn't have high cost of cars and homes without cars and homes available to the public in the first place.

@icedquinn @freemo it’s not that hexagons fit the space better, it’s just that they have a more physically stable structure. Which is pretty useful when the comb hangs its significant weight off its wax structure.

@nixCraft Google decided that promoting and improving adblockers wasn’t enough and they also need to promote Chrome alternatives.
