'The more I see of what you call civilisation, the more highly I think of what you call savagery.'

  • X has 600 million users, Mastodon 9-10 million. Even if you assume 2/3 of Xitter are bots, that's still 20x difference in reach. You should know that you and I are not "normal" for using Mastodon. A group of randomly picked people 9/10 will know of X/twitter, maybe 3/10 have heard of Mastodon.

  • Leave X for Mastodon

    I hope they don't phase X out, because that would be a social media suicide. Orgs, public personas and projects are not average users and can't really care about personal preference or user experience, they only need to care where people are. They are there to get social media reach and just jumping out of Xitter would harm their social media presence and the project.

  • Who do you think owns Ukrainian government at this point? They funded their own twilight by selling government property, land, resource rights and legislative favors to multinationals. Zelensky et. al knows who brought them to power and has kept them there.

  • the real misdirection is focusing on individuals and their blame. The real question is why does UK political system produces these people rule and how do they keep ruling.

  • Really just tells you that Epstein and his buddies weren't the men with the plans or brains.

  • What is the fundamental difference. Evil men and arrogant idiots might as well be the same thing.

  • I would by some backdoored Chinese RAM right about now. I have nothing to hide. if it comes without US five eyes backdoors, all the better.

  • The Chinese could do some coordinated push to take marketshare if they have state backing and are willing to accept medium term losses.

  • The real issue is that most social media is for-profit addiction machine breeding more and more anti-social behavior, not that kids have access to it. This is just a another example that liberals are incapable of seeing any ill in rampant capitalism or much less intervene in it's mechanism for the common good. Everything is framed around profit seeking bringing out the greatest good and individuals choice. They are very at a loss when having to to do any systemic analysis why social-media has ill effects on social fabric. The best they can come up is that kids are not yet fully formed adults able to do the right choice, so they must be guided.

  • Once receiving the signal Chinese household robots sold to the west gonna do project atomic heart, by kicking you in the nuts.

  • We might dine well on used datacenter hard drives in the coming years.

  • They mostly do that because they want control and maybe slowly reach their tentacles into projects. Like Chromium and Android are in theory open source, but in practice both are locked down by google and used for their business and mass data harvesting and advertising empire.

  • Killing parasitic and monopolistic gatekeepers and middlemen is very much contributing to any country's economic growth.

  • The practical joke the world could pull on the US rn, is to everybody to agree to just start dumping US treasuries.

  • GDP doesn't mean or measure anything concrete. Especially the nominal GDP. Your economy might be just banking services and for average person has really tough times making ends meet thanks to massive cost of living problem, but hey all it makes few people very wealthy and the big number go up in terms of USD. You can't even fight a war because all manufacturing got outsourced because local labor is unaffordable and the military is dependent on existing stockpiles and there is no idle manufacturing capacity to ramp up in case of emergencies so you don't even have power projection or "bigger stick".

    Then some middle income country with healthy manufacturing base, natural resources, growing middle class, own army with it's own arms supply chain for the basics, but it ranks bellow you in GDP.

  • It's even worse when everything is accounted in USD. A currency that is losing it's value and inflates the importance of western countries in global economy.

  • We have a new garbage collector and +30% cgo performance.

  • yeah, MP1 and MP2.

  • Remedy's next project seems like to be more of the same old same old single player action games, albeit a couple of Max Payne remakes. Not unfuckup:able, with microtransactions, but still safer than some multiplayer hero shooter or smth.
