KillingTimeItself

personally i like to think of piracy as dissemination of illegal copies for personal gain.

Think about that - literal pieces of human innovation, steps in the ever-evolving game of technological development… just buried for no reason other than because some company thought they’d make more money without it and had the capital to force the situation

in defense, if the patent was better, it would’ve been used, otherwise it’s going to be about the same as the existing patent.

Really the only crime here is removing innovation from the open market. And bringing it into the closed market, Which is, less than ideal.

i would argue no, but then again, there’s a difference between posting it, and supporting it.

glorifying and supporting violence is almost always against the rules on any platform anywhere. So.

It just happens to sometimes do that. I’m not sure anyone has actually “designed” it to do anything

wouldn’t it by definition be designed to efficiently extract labor from the population? That’s why the population has boomed so aggressively in the last few hundred years.

in fairness to being fair, there have been multiple attempts, and every single time the results are extremely clear. Building an elevated solar shade using solar panels to both generate power, and cool down the walking/biking path. Is both more effective, and more practical.

i’d be more worried about heat, dispersing heat with literally zero airflow is going to be rough.

oh good, yet another solar solution where you put solar panels underground, instead of like, building a pavilion and putting the solar panels on the top of it, where they would make more fucking power.

Why does everything need to be so slanted?

in defense of some of the content, people like musk are inherently slanted in countering positions, so it’s kind of hard to write neutral opinion articles on the man who literally bought one of the largest social medias globally, and turned it into a republican disinformation machine for his personal gain.

factual, and fact based reporting is still good though.

unironically, some books on philosophy and more broad political sciences.

Assuming he isn’t the stupidest person in the room at any given time, some good reading on philosophy and sociological structures (politics) will be interesting.

Don’t ask me for recommendations, there are better places to go, and im sure a few people here will have good recommendations.

education is the single biggest thing preventing people from being more educated, funny how that works really.

i would also like to like lemmy.

Unfortunately it’s userbase seems to have a fairly significant infection of stupidity. (also the lemmy platform is just, underbaked, in general)

But i’m starting to think my standards of not being completely uneducated and spouting literal bullshit on things, is too high for most of the population…

I think i just have a problem with all of humanity, to be honest.

true

and you’d be the stupidest person in the room if you did.

the military might be the only thing that stops him. Hence why i didn’t include it.

But i have no idea. Literally every other duty, and every other branch will be under the whims of the stupidest person in america right now.

you realize places without elections still have them, they just mean nothing right?

he doesnt even have to touch the military, just has to certify fraudulent voter slates, that’s it.

trump just barely failed to steal it last time, this time he has the fucking supervillain crackpot team behind him.

If he wants to do it, all he has to do is make the call.

He has the executive, he has the house, he has the senate, he will most likely completely have the supreme court, there is literally nobody to tell him no anymore.

anywhere from not really, to literally world war 3.

trump is a loose cannon.

We do not win here.

Which of those projects will be ready by the time China invades Taiwan in early 2025? And how will those factories absorb all the global orders for chips when they’re not ready?

for one, there’s no guarantee. Trump should want to protect taiwan, as it’s a strategically convenient point of interest.

You are agreeing with me. Fabs are hard. Our people are stupid.

well sort of, your argument is “well its hard and difficult so why should we ever try” my argument is “doing literally anything at all is going to be a better move.”

Their people are smart. If their people are tied up in a war and dying, and their fabs are destroyed, and our fabs are half built

yeah idk i think they would probably move to the US. The place where they are most likely to be able to fabricate again.

you are unironically concern trolling with this post.

nice shitpost homie, maybe if you had some reading comprehension you would be able to understand the intellectual argument here.

“NUH UH UR WRONG L TAKE DUMBASS” this is literally you right now.

You mean one of the things the Biden admin bragged about?

yeah.

Good thing the incoming administration isn’t petty enough to nuke anything associated with the previous administration…

that would be unfortunate.
