dontcarethrow2··on Hubble Captures Crisp New Image of Jupiter and Europa
This would be beautiful, but we need to be able to see the night sky first. Having moved to a large city from a tiny one, no one notices/even cares to look up here. there isnt much to see, I think that makes it meaningless to those who havent stared at a full clear night sky, no light pollution for miles. I'm jealous even with all the comforts you get here, you can't see that image our ancestors got to stare at almost every night(cloud factor).
dontcarethrow2··on Spotify reportedly fighting with employees about hosting episodes of Joe Rogan
So what happens in the future when they have exclusivity and he throws another similar joke in there? Skip the joke or not host the whole episode? Not allow it to begin with?
dontcarethrow2··on Rocket League now requires an Epic account to play, even through Steam
Huh, great timing, it looks like I did my last 2hrs ingame last week. I hadn't played since the announcement, I thought I might give it some more playtime since its the funnest game of the decade - but dang these principles I have. Oh well I lose. GG. Well played. What a save!
dontcarethrow2··on Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 11
To err is human, to repeatedly try to discredit the only source we get from this trample on 'freedom of speech' is.. fishy. Classic smear tactics, so passive, so cool. Hats off to you gents, fiction isn't this sweet.
dontcarethrow2··on Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 11
Sounds like a trustworthy guy, not afraid to go against establishment, something we need in our journalists, thanks for pointing it out.
dontcarethrow2··on Birds 'falling out of the sky' in mass die-off in south-western US
I agree with your observations except the anti-intellectual movements. Those are grassroot, obviously allows us to believe anyone to be the boogeyman. I really struggle with the perspective of 'The Russians are out to get us and enslave the world(forever that is their goal) so buy our guns and install our defense systems. Economy machine go brrrrr'.
dontcarethrow2··on Uber backup driver indicted in 2018 self-driving crash that killed woman
So how did this worker get through their screening/interview process? When hiring for this job which criteria did they focus on? Why even allow the driver to carry their screen around? Massive failure, I think there is too much FSD coolaid in the valley springs. I am somewhat surprised we had the power to stop/pause them after this reported unfortunate event. Anyone working on FSD today should focus entirely on mass transit vehicles mkay tnx
dontcarethrow2··on Apple Tried Charging the Price of a New MacBook Pro for a Screen Replacement
This and disabling google apps. Surprisingly not much of a difference in functionality, my data usage is low, downloaded local maps on OSM. Motorola something
dontcarethrow2··on 1976 race through an empty Paris [video]
First saw this in Highschool Film Studies. I believe it was done early morning to avoid traffic. What a maniac..
dontcarethrow2··on A Secret Recording Reveals Oil Executives’ Private Views on Climate Change
I'd argue it's VC money/public market shareholders licking their lips at thrse hipsters that trump responsibility. Yep, take a look at that screen, now turn it off. Reflection can scare ya.
dontcarethrow2··on China would rather see TikTok U.S. close than a forced sale
Or we could ve underestimating how much influence these social media apps exert especially on the younger crowd(where Tiktok currently reigns) and our IC is looking to limit this soft power from others. It's easier to control the 'world narrative' when you own the channels.
dontcarethrow2··on Amazon’s Alexa for landlords is a privacy nightmare waiting to happen
Some buy it to play music in their living spaces. My dad came back with a free Echo after moving his phone plan to Verizon. Thankfully I got him to be skeptical of it just because they are giving them away for free. Sibling got a google one for novelty. Over time they also stopped using, it got annoying having to plug it back in every time (since I dont let it stay plugged in). cus fuck google, amazon, fb, apple, microsoft, am I missing anyone? Samsung seems to stay lowkey but eff em too.
dontcarethrow2··on Assange Hearing Day 6
Reminds me of a quote: "It's hard to see yourself a villain when you think you're the hero."
dontcarethrow2··on Hong Kong mourns the end of its way of life
From a simpletons perspective, I don't understand why we get to have a say of how a country reclaims its former territory. Especially from Westerners(not even land connected) who have no claim whatsoever. Why do we have a negative outlook on our former empires colonizing the world while at the same time doing everything possible to retain profits/power from these bad things we shouldn't be doing? Very hypocritical to simpletons. Someone is shutting off our outpost, ofcourse we won't let it go without kicking and screaming to get everyones attention to what?
dontcarethrow2··on Watch David Blaine Float over the Desert on Balloons
His hands didn't look all that shakey from the far cams but the close up had it. Still managed to go through with all the procedures, I would feel paralyzed up there. I like that they included all the chatter while everything was happening, constant comms, the rush of his voice. Gave me adrenaline spikes, ty for post.
dontcarethrow2··on The Oldest Cookbook in Korean
I noticed that there is something there about vocal compared to visual. Some years ago while messing around memorizing/reciting pi, I always thought I imagined the numbers visually and recited from there. I'm bilingual and a friend asked if I can do it in my mother tongue. It was weird, I was surprised I was struggling. I definitely recite(in my head) in English, then I visualize the numbers than I translate.

It was surprising because when I was even younger I thought I had a photographic memory, I noticed it got weak over time and with memorizing some of pi I thought I was bringing it back. And here I find it was mainly vocal. With the points brought up here for oral tradition, it makes sense that vocal memory has stayed strong.

dontcarethrow2··on US sanctions International Criminal Court officials
I am slow and likely missed the joke. Does an organization like Wikileaks ring a bell? Public reaction to that definitely keeps these sort of reporting funnels useless, get tortured at best.
dontcarethrow2··on Russia’s ‘slow-motion Chernobyl’ at sea
Remnants of the Cold Wash, you have a good 2 generations KNOWing Red=Bad. These are results to be noted for our current/future Wash.
dontcarethrow2··on Airbnb Has a Hidden-Camera Problem (2019)
'Assume any current/future employer will be reviewing what you do at your AirBNB. Enjoy your stay.'
dontcarethrow2··on Facebook’s ties to India’s ruling party complicate its fight against hate speech
Investors don't mind, users don't seem to care. Can we pinpoint why it is 'bad'? People are making money, signs that the product brings 'value' to society. I am young, how much of the world has Murdoch influenced? Has it all been bad? Sounds like a player that made it. Do we change the game in this case?
dontcarethrow2··on Pinterest cancels office lease in unbuilt project, citing work-from-home shift
To us or the flock? We are animals, analogies using other animals shouldn't be taken so heavy? Bring any herder to the city and see if he finds a difference.
dontcarethrow2··on Belarus turned off the internet – citizens hot-wired it
A few weeks ago Cloudflare(?) had an outage and I felt very limited. It felt like the internet was down for me. Say GCP, AWS had outages, you won't even be able to order a Lyft to take you home.
dontcarethrow2··on Head of Danish intelligence suspended after whistleblowers hand over information
And I was agreeing with them, just translating it into my own rant. Excuse me, but when I hear you smarties(not you specifically, threads lately in general) picking up pitchforks in the name of freedom, you will hear the silly squeal. And unfortunately, the 'war pigs' seem to be the sharpest in the shed by far.
dontcarethrow2··on Head of Danish intelligence suspended after whistleblowers hand over information
This safeguarding is likely what is keeping us in danger. We don't have to pretend we are policing the world anymore, enough time has gone by to be able to say it's mainly modern day imperialism. We can work on our defense on this side of the planet without outlining 'the enemy' with outposts and guns pointed at them for 'our defense'.
dontcarethrow2··on Rosatom releases previously classified documentary video of Tsar Bomba nuke test
That problem seems to rely on ignorance/a lack of perspective. That can be fixed with education/travel, both currently limited.
dontcarethrow2··on Hangover Cure Successfully Tested on Drunk Subjects in Finland
As a former casual drinker, I found drinking water alongside any other drink completely makes me forget I ever drank the night before. Hydration does wonders for me.
dontcarethrow2··on Cities sue Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, claim they owe cable “franchise fees”
Ok, replace advertiser with company that wants to display ads. Because that is how you are using it. The ad company is the original advertiser.. this gets even funnier, more please!
dontcarethrow2··on Cities sue Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, claim they owe cable “franchise fees”
'Ask anyone who advertises' - I know what you are trying to say but that is the funniest quote I've read on here. Ask the guy who relies on you believing it works -- he will tell you the truth -- it works!! Haha rock on!
dontcarethrow2··on Microsoft Put Off Fixing Zero Day for 2 Years
As much as I love to see it, I don't see the damage. Users have a choice these days to even download/install a free! OS. This is a clear case of vote with your wallets. There are TONs of Operating systems, why stick with Microsoft at this point?
dontcarethrow2··on Trump says he is considering pardon for Edward Snowden
He has tons of fans everywhere.
