This is very good

Just what are you try to imply here

I, in just about every case, give no attention to norm-based arguments. We as a species on a whole, proportionally, keep doing foolish shit all the time.

But it was after reading your comment that I noticed there was a time that many Germans were either proponents of or tolerating (not all of them absolutely; there were rebels) some extremely bad things. Some 85 years ago.

In all seriousness, I hope this person will be fine. It is usually detrimental to self preservation, with either active or passive aggression, to openly state what things are. I hope this person can protect himself from any harm of any nature (even harassment).

Incidental, but the cause of Valery Legasov’s death is accepted to be suicide. Whether that is actually what happened I won’t argue for however, it is something I do not know anything about.

This looks like the plot of Chernobyl, which was a TV show creation of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster which tried to portray what happened mostly, re-enacted. I hope this fellow does not face harassment as a result of this article. Though that is unlikely.

Not surprising

It hurts everybody you know in different ways, and it hurts people more based on their socioeconomic status. It pokes and prods and twists millions of little parts of your life, and it’s everywhere, so you have to ignore it, because complaining about it feels futile, like complaining about the weather.It isn’t. You’re battered by the Rot Economy, and a tech industry that has become so obsessed with growth that you, the paying customer, are a nuisance to be mitigated far more than a participant in an exchange of value. A death cult has taken over the markets, using software as a mechanism to extract value at scale in the pursuit of growth at the cost of user happiness.

This ‘death cult’ is just ordinary people who take the easy way of forcing others to provide what they cannot do themselves. The commercial system is little more than a convoluted mechanism to fulfill this need. While, of course, not being extremely cruel to the workers because that always has consequences. This rule goes against the very instinct and reason for those radically believing in this system though, and as a result is disregarded in time by people who believe their predecessors who bit more than they could chew were foolish for not merely suffocating the poorer classes even more, in the hope they will work for them out of desperation.

These things have a simple root—it is people being unwilling to bear the burdens and pains for becoming capable of doing what they want to do, and seeing it preferable to push the pains on others instead. The most effective way to deal with it is to disobey and push the burden of pain right back to the cause of problems, rather than take up the pain for either pennies or the promise of easing the pressure, while the majority of the benefit coming from the work you put in goes to others. Push it back, reject it, and push it back again when these persons defiantly cause more problems. They’ll end up toothless and—the horror—with take up some form of technical skill learning to survive.

An organisation without the technically skilled persons to suffer under work for them are just a bunch of persons with many desires but no way to fulfill them. All the while the structure of ‘legitimacy’, which forces people’s hand to work for practically achieving nothing, breaks down. People are forced to work hard again if they ever had the idea of simply making others do the work and benefiting from it. In this happening you do not destroy co-operation and business themselves, but only trim these perverted aspects off them.

There are ways to mitigate this.

• Interact with software which had more to do with people doing technical work rather than being involved in ‘business’ or ‘employment’.
• Reject the trend of legitimacy and embrace practicality.
• Simply do not co-operate with the entities doing these things. This thing in particular works even in the most hopeless seeming situations. Also, casually disobey.
• Move towards being more and more technically skilled yourself. It does not necessarily have to be with computers, if you prefer not to. You will find yourself not dependent on anything in an absolute manner, and these organisations will lose out on one more user they need to survive—because they work that inefficiently with their already less effective methods of operation.

It is one of the things which is very likely to have happened.

It was then he became a believer in the potential benefits that artificial intelligence could offer society, including its ability to cure diseases and stop aging, the Times reported. “I thought we could invent some kind of scientist that could help solve them,” he told the newspaper.

I’m curious if he actually said the stop aging part, since it is not in quote yet attributed to him.

That said,

The medical examiner’s office determined the manner of death to be suicide and police officials this week said there is “currently, no evidence of foul play.”

As a person who had been suicidal since I was younger than 10 years old till a few years ago, I can confidently say that no suicide is without foul play. The foul behaviour is just… normal. And socially acceptable as a result. He was probably harassed, which is what usually happens when you question things.

Edit: spelling

In Greenly’s data table, somehow TikTok is always ordered before Instagram despite TikTok having consistently lower annual data center emission than Instagram while every other platforms are in proper sort order.

This implies the data centres for instagram give off more far emissions, or TikTok has more users, or both. That depends on whether you wish to trust the data though.

How about doing what is good for the people instead of the industry🤦

The comment section on this article is a little bit of hell.

Also, I get that this is part of Microsoft’s duties for its own OS security. But the role it has seems to be a bit too large. Currently it seems, even though it is seemingly working for the benefit of Ukraine in the conflict, that they could choose to aid Russia at any time. I don’t think I like them having such capacity. Being able to interfere in such events in such a drastic degree, if they choose to. Interference in politics in such a direct manner, even if aid with ‘intelligence’ is one of their offerings, cannot really be removed from their capability here. These are basics of state… just what are modern politicians doing. I’d say it is not so much the governments in specific places (like the US) running their regions anymore.

I don’t think China cares. Such places, the powers will sink down their entire region for ‘glory’.

This sounds like the family basically has given an ‘okay’ to the authorities doing whatever to him, however illegal it may be.

Can’t say I’m surprised, my family is similar. Not as well off financially, but similar.

Pretending like you care about the guy… how rotten can these people be.

Technicians (not limited to people working with computers) always have it hard when they work purely in support capacity. This is like draining then fir everything they’ve got and looking for an opportunity to beat them down further so they stay in their abused state.

The natural result.

To think they actually gave one of the reasons of invading Ukraine as ‘fighting Nazis’

Once EVs become the main type of vehicles sold, sellers will lower quality to ‘encourage’ you to replace them more often.

Every industry starts off like this and ends off like that.

Of course. Really it is the opposite of ‘better’

Selling your soul for coin is real easy. No sympathy for this person in particular, this person didn’t even suffer for the evil deeds done.
