Any new technology is subject to the same problems under capitalism, specifically maximising profits to the detriment of anything else. This is especially bad with centralised tools. An AGI wouldn’t just magically take global control.

It’s really difficult to recuperate waste heat spread across such a large space in a way that doesn’t compromise on cooling effectiveness.

That’s just not true. He was calling out whites who merely pay lip service to civil rights while putting all their political capital into maintaining a discriminatory status quo.

That is unfortunately the majority, and the frustration at this fact does come through in many of his quotes, and it is well-placed.

Yeah basically the term Liberal in this context is the conservative propaganda team that describes everyone they loathe. What it doesn’t describe is any specific agenda or worldview because they utterly lack political education and are highly suspicious of anyone that does.

There are of course white progressives with good politics who truly care for civil rights, in particular those of minorities when their rights are being threatened. This is not the kind of person Malcolm X is talking about. Unfortunately there’s no real political representation for that. The only effort put forward by the Democratic party is saying: “At least we’re not as bad as the Republicans, so shut up and vote for us or we’ll reconsider that position.” Those are the liberals he’s rightfully calling out in that quote.

Awesome thanks. Also avoids the awful UI and forced login popup.

Studying and fixing something at home I can see, those you typically move around as needed. The other are prior commitments that you don’t.

Although rude, I appreciate when people tell me outright I’m not a priority for them. So I can adjust my own.

If you’re German (or not), use https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/ instead.

Yeah I mean that makes sense, your friends respect prior commitments.

Also they’re spending just wayyyyy too much on advertising for my taste.

The tan suit was really the nail in the coffin. Not even Trump could save us from the fallout of that desaster.

Commuting from the suburbs to the city center is a perfect use case for advanced high-capacity public transportation. It’s something that most cities on earth manage, the US could too.

Also this isn’t theoretical. The deliberate prevention of new and in some cases destruction of existing public transportation in the US to increase car dependency is well-documented.

I just answered the question. IDK why you’d take that as a personal attack.

Living in a country under laws written by oil corporations, in cities whose public transportation was privatized and destroyed by car manufacturers.

It’s actually copyright infringement. The label “piracy” has no original connection to it.

Fascism is pretty well-defined. People just don’t like it because we like to pretend it’s a specter of the past far removed from modern sensibilities, and the definition exposes how not at all far it is from mainstream conservatism.

The mainstream definition of “woke” is “whatever MAGA was told to hate today”.

The most heinous crime conceivable to a conservative like JKR is an attempt to change the status quo.

An obvious example: Sure we’re burning the world to the ground. But did you ever consider what if renewable energy is somehow even worse, and its advocates are terrorists?

People take issue with giving more money to a person who has spent a good amount of her considerable wealth openly and maliciously harming trans people.

You’re not a TERF for being a HP fan, but you are directly funding TERFs if you buy HP merch or legally watch her stuff.

I guess we’ll see. Their internal rhetoric in regards to Taiwan, as well as their expansionism and unprompted hostilities towards other nations in the region do not inspire me with confidence.

There is a pervasive form of Chinese nationalism and exceptionalism, married with Han Chinese supremacy, woven into their national myth that’s much less blatant and loud than what we’re used to from the US, but it’s there nevertheless and it serves the same purpose.

People have been saying that about Russia for many years until it happened.

Unlike Trump, most leaders aren’t rushing into things. They wait until conditions are favourable, and there are an incredible number of conditions to take into account for operations like this.
