Radical/Rad!

😀

That would be Farscape + Nox Archaist. Very difficult to imagine what the crossover would be like 😅

Forcing this might very well be something EU opposes. While there is a lot of corporate lobbying, Google would be forcing everyone to either use chromium or make compatibility changes into other browser. While not a total monopoly, it still limits the options radically. Therefore there might be hope that EU forbids this type of action. Let’s see…

The tech industry for example. It is easily the biggest, most varied and in many cases the most innovative (due to educated people and resources) in the world. This benefits the economy and the military for example.

Good point!

Well yes and no. In some sense US is very backwards, in others it’s ahead of everyone else. It’s a big country so lots of different things fit there.

Yes I know that very well. In fact I took part in creating a exhibition about American Child laborers in the turn of the 20th century. It’s just that news like this remind you how backwards the world’s greatest superpower can be…

I hope He is able to bring change to the community, because that story is fubar.

Just stated using Revanced Extended YouTube. One of the best apps there is. Makes everything so much more convenient and with zero cost.

Maybe so, although I don’t really have a interest in that. I really wish I was able to maintain my skills in both “fields”. I’ve found out that nowadays it is important to have people who can interpret layman problems and wishes to techies and explain technological “jargon” to “normal” people. Being a middleman like this seems to have it’s benefits.

A humanist here, working in the cultural heritage (which is also increasingly digital) field.

I reckon I have more computer skills than an average user but in no way I am a “techie”. It’s just that I know how to search for tech solutions and am not afraid of breaking the computer. Due to using Unity I also have some experience with C# and currently I am trying to learn python (mostly just for fun but you’ll never know if it ends up being helpful at some point).

So definetily not a tech person, but interested in both the humanist and technological side if life.

For some it’s intentional and motivated by racism. For others it’s probably just cold and calculated opportunism.

The latter don’t really care as long as they profit politically or financially from such policies. It’s like selling your soul to a devil, because “who cares”.

Anyone supporting bullshit like that should experience few years as a slave to really see what the benefits are. Stupid assholes…

Every time I think that the US is a civilized “first world” country, they find a way to remind me of the reality. It really is shocking how backwards some things are in certain states.

Hope you get a federal law to prevent similar accidents in the future…

Walking is good for you, especially if you can do it in nature. Really helps to mitigate certain ‘blue’ feeling. So thumbs up for daily walks!

Florida should just be removed from the rest of the US and continue to exist as an isolated island for assholes.

That one I knew, but thanks anyway 🙂

5 bucks for network monitoring made it a deal for me. Thanks 🙂

Stupid question, but what’s Shodan and why should I get it?

I think the point is that as long as certain services or fundamentals for living are based on good-will and philanthropy, they are in the end at the mercy of whims or calculated actions of those doing well.

It is PR in the sense that it does not only make the philanthropist look good, it also ties the subjects of the philanthrophy into a bond between the giver and receiver: as a receiver you are forever thankful to the philanthropist and in some perverted way constantly reminded of your subordinate status towards the giver. This strengthens the societal structures that benefit the rich and helps them stay powerful compared to massess. While I am sure that most rich people genuinely donate money to make things better and help others, it is still them who get to choose where the money is spent.

More equal and transparent option is to make sure that there is enough tax revenue to cover these kinds of costs from public spending.

I have also been playing with an idea of a philanthropic fund that allows anyone to donate, but not to decide where the money is spent. If the target for philanthropy could be decided by a group of experts/public poll, money could probably be allocated to places where it is needed the most. However, I am sure there would be a lack of bigger donations as the PR effect would be smaller…
