You haven't gone away from touristy track. A friend of mine did last year and the stuff I heard was pretty bad

touristy track is covered by cctvs and they are used to get people for anything including public urination or graffiti so of course it's clean

all my EU/UK macbook plugs I got from apple are always grounded, metal prong and metal side pins

so what I mean is maybe house electricity grid is not grounded.

I don't think this falls under definition of genocide

> we suggest that infanticide is a sexually selected behaviour in killer whales that could provide subsequent mating opportunities for the infanticidal male and thereby provide inclusive fitness benefits for his mother.

I can see gene fitness benefit but mating opportunities, how?

"hey, me and maman uh killed your baby, wanna pump out a replacement real quick?"

throwaway290··on You can't trust macOS Privacy and Security settings
You literally made a statement justifying not responsibly disclosing vuln because apple process sucks

whether it is a vuln is different argument (it's sandbox escape and definitely usable as part of an exploit)

if having to run an arcane terminal program to disable access while GUI is as if access was not granted is "unintuitive security feature" for you, I can't even.

You wouldn't have this if your plug was properly grounded. Most developed countries have plugs that have grounding. EU via side pins UK via third prong

> If you had downloaded an app and discovered it was malicious the remedy would generally be to uninstall the app

There are many apps that themselves are not malicious but they run untrusted code via plugins and stuff. Like VS Code for example.

So you gave it a permission and then revoked it thinking all is fine. tomorrow an extension was hijacked and it now reads your files. cool?

throwaway290··on You can't trust macOS Privacy and Security settings
That makes it OK for you to not responsibly disclose a vuln? Cool I guess)

Or depressed and suicidal because of being socially excluded in formative years. Let's roll the dice, what's the worst that can happen, more mentally sick adults? Clearly if we look around this is not backfiring in any way.

throwaway290··on New iPhone age and identity checks restrict internet freedom in the UK
exactly. so who of us said

> let other parents make their own parenting choices for their own kids

like somebody is taking it away?

you are still free to make your choices, just like with feeding your kid beer or giving them cigs. It's just a healthy default is now applied to average kid for whom parents don't care to make choices. Why do you keep arguing and moving goalposts?

> I doubt most people who say things like that "dream of being the .1%".

I doubt people who just address one style choice and carefully not make any actual objections. Their comment adds no value and there is no way we can know if they even really understood what they are replying to.

throwaway290··on New iPhone age and identity checks restrict internet freedom in the UK
It's not just you.

Imagine if smoking was allowed and considered cool. You basically must your child never allow to mingle with an average kid. If you are too busy at work, if you are single parent, or need a work trip, 100% you come back and your kid is a smoker.

All because what other families are free to decide and they don't give a fuck.

Do you want that world back? Do you have money to live in a gated house with private school and full time nanny and stuff so you can raise your child separately from the average? Must be nice

throwaway290··on New iPhone age and identity checks restrict internet freedom in the UK
zero countries give infinite freedom about how you raise your kids. and if too many parents fail at something probably government should do it for them.

it's like drinking age. you can't send your kid for a beer. you are free to buy beer and let your kid drink a glass. same here. if something is not accessible to the kid directly you can still show it to your kid. you are the parent

> you could totally go up to someone in the middle of a genocide, as their community in the process of being murdered, and say "genocides have happened before, some people will go away, others will survive."

Yeah. How many times I saw people here say oh yeah it's just the same as job loss during automaton-industrialization. How is that making things better? "Yeah just more mass poverty and more wealth inequality, what are you worried about!"

Also during automation there was a lot of work you could switch to and what about options now? start another vibeslop startup so that you can pay openai for tokens?

the only explanation for people saying this is that they don't understand they will be on the line later just like the people displaced now. but the dream of being the .1% who get to be on top and monetize everybody else is too tempting I guess.

throwaway290··on Study found that young adults have grown less hopeful and more angry about AI
> My advice to young people is to embrace AI as fully as you can

It's game theory. If you betray ASAP you get to monetize others who hold out.

It works until you yourself get ousted the same way. So the most enthusiastic people are old enough that they leverage their status and won't face the consequences in their lifetime OR young enough that they don't understand the proposition, have nothing to lose and when they look around and see everybody doing it they have no other choice except to do the same

If everybody took a stance against corps stealing our work and reselling it to us then we would 100% prevail but what are principles against personal profit...

"we need to work more and help train the llms of superrich to make the same money" became the new "we will have more free time and more money thanks to AI" but everybody is too busy trying to outrace the next guy so no one noticed.

throwaway290··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
You clearly didn't read the article or my comment, because there is a definition of zionism and different types are listed. Lots of people who support the idea of Jews having a country also don't support the idea of oppressing other people in the area

Closing your ears and shouting is not a way to have a productive argument but judging by your comments here you are not interested in that.

throwaway290··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
Yes. But you are simply agreeing with me that it's a tragedy and a US fuckup.

How people get from "school next to military base = human shield" to victim blaming kids for being bombed is a mystery

throwaway290··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
military bases are targets. I don't know how you jump from that to victim blaming like little kids had a say in where to build a school or where to go to school or whether to shoot rockets. it's a tragedy.
throwaway290··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
I don't know why you are downvoted for saying "bigotry is bad"

however you make a mistake when you call zionism apartheid or genocide. there are religious extremists who use this word like it's some sort of "lebensraum" but that's just a specific type of zionism. source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_Zionism

actually zionism just an idea that jews can have a country where their ancestors lived. everybody in the world wants the same thing but no one needed to invent a term because most people already have a country where their ancestors lived. there's a metric ton of christian and muslim countries around if you look.

Just thought of a better one and couldn't edit.

I'm in vietnam sometimes and have friends there. How is it suffering? because it's news to me.

throwaway290··on Is Germany's gold safe in New York ?
I wasn't asking you.

> But to be honest, we were out in the streets before.

Who is "we"? Do you remember your past lives? If you are fighting against every government when you will realize you should maybe just move to another country?

I'm not american or from US but this reads like mental illness

throwaway290··on Is Germany's gold safe in New York ?
Sorry to break it to you but vague empty remarks don't make arguments happen. One of us has head in the sand but you're wrong who it is.
throwaway290··on Is Germany's gold safe in New York ?
There were fuckups too but the declared goals were usually not bad. Now declared goals seem bad. The language is the language of hate. It's a big change. and this is not north korea. it's one of the most powerful country and definitely most influential in the world

See for yourself compared to the past https://youtu.be/X6GRMdn8ZD4?t=6

And now tell me it's all the same as before and I'm burying my head in the sand.

throwaway290··on Is Germany's gold safe in New York ?
no, you!
