Or, it's because whoever is doing this hates freedom of information and historical evidence. There's a long list of powerful people and governments who have the resources and will to carry out these attacks.
Cyber warfare is real, and the Internet archive is a museum and library of culture and truth. It provides evidence and context to our past.
As in conventional war, it is valuable to the amoral to destroy culture and truth in order to control it. Many would like to kill that to supplant it with their version of events that can't be refuted with evidence.
Reddit did that and then instantly multiple serious competitors began to siphon off their power users both out of principle and practicality, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.
YouTube i think understands to not cross the line because if they no longer have a monopoly on mid to long form content their golden goose dies. People are already on edge after a long sequence of attacks against non-premium users.
Personally, If they do do that, and at least some amount of the channels I care about move to a different platform, I'll happily move with them and cancel my YouTube premium.
The issue is that you called it dumb because you interpret it as "only children" are enlightened enough to see the tree as a tree.
But I don't believe that is the intent of the comic, instead, they simply drew a child as a shorthand representation for the concept of enlightenment.
I believe any person can be so enlightened to see something as it is, and not what it could be made into if they wanted to.
Therefore, I don't think the comic is dumb as you stated. I think the comic is attempting to motivate people to see things as they are and be enlightened.
Also there was a little humor in the misspelling of a common word when calling something dumb, in the way of "kettle calling the pot black"
Many of our words are the same, but you asked a question and I provided an interpreted answer.
Edit: To say it specifically
The fourth character was drawn as a character representing an enlightened perspective. Rather than having multiple panels or having text to describe this, the character was drawn as a child as a shorthand since children come with that association in most cultures.
This is opposed to the other characters drawn in different walks of life's who have their own unenlightened motives which we assume by default within the context of the forth panel.
It's drawn for comedic effect, but ideally it should be in a proper holster (it can still be in that area, like an appendix holster), that covers the trigger and protects the hammer - prevents it from falling out - and also ensures the weapon is always pointing slightly away from the body towards the ground
Intriguingly, brain organoids preserved in MEDY showed similar growth and function patterns to those that had never been frozen. Incredibly, one batch was frozen in MEDY for as long as 18 months, and still showed similar protections against damage after thawing.
The team also froze samples of living brain tissue taken from a human epilepsy patient, and found that MEDY protected them from damage. The process didn’t disrupt the structure of the brain cells, and even preserved the pathologies of epilepsy – that’s important, because it means samples can be frozen for later study or analysis without damage from the freezing process confusing the results.
Very cool especially for research - hopefully this can allow for better research into how the brain functions as they're able to amass rare brain issues and study them together with this new found ability to preserve brain matter
When I was first accepting this part of my identity and thinking structure, and why I'd react in certain ways - it really helped me become comfortable by dipping my toes in and saying "well, I'm a little bit autistic, so what?", before getting more comfortable and understanding of who I was and the masks I was wearing and that it was ok to take them off and say confidently "I am autistic, so what.".
I think we should allow people that grace to slowly take off their masks at their pace, and if some people improperly co-opt that, so be it
Someone unsure of being "a little autistic" doesn't hurt me, provided it's only an introspective admission.
There's a difference if they say "well, I'm a little autistic, so I don't think someone else needs support or dignity" of course, and those people should be opposed.
The quickest way to get a team of 10 contractors to turn 100 lines of basic code from a decent engineer into 2k, with 50 janky vulnerable dependencies, that needs to be babied with customized ide's and multi-minute+ build times and 60m long recorded meetings.
The establishment is not going to give up, they must be beaten at their own game. Perseverance is key. If you give up, you give up on your cause and accept whatever the establishment wishes.
Do what you want, but I will persevere, and I will vote for my interests.
I haven't been paying attention, what was the original drama there?
It sounds like good things have come out of it with a more community aligned governance, and nixOS is very interesting tech that could solve some of my headaches with Linux
