maybe people with similar political views tend to agree on certain topics

For people those people treating politics as a team sport and uncondtionally cheering for everything their team does, all while not actually having any independent views and opinions beyond the latest narratives their favorite talking heads are spreading that day, this must feel like a completely alien concept.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing

That's the probably most unhelpful and stupid thing I saw in quite some time. The AI or Not Quiz right at the beginning in particular regularly links the exact same things to human or to AI (404 links are a sign or AI hallucination or just natural link decay that show it's from a human; wonky grammar is a sign for AI unless the text is human-written where it's just bad english that LLMs would not produce intentionally...).

Yes, spotting AI by clear attributes isn't easy. If it was those points would be changed first in training of AI. But lengthily discussing tell–tale signs then interpreting them in contrary ways depending on source is absolute bullshit.

No, that one is just brain-damaged by all the propaganda.

The paid stooges are far ahead and don't actually question stuff but plain out claim that it is indeed a hoax. One to kill all industry, tech and even people out of ideological insanity. Why else would they try to build green power production that obviously doesn't work and even reduce CO₂ when we all know that plants need that CO₂ to survive? 😉

Instead we get a ton of benefit out of pollution

No, the producers of fossil fuels get a ton of benefits in the form of money. You get health issues, climate change and desinformation (paid by a fraction of those big amounts of money) telling you how the clean and more efficient alternative isn't working and so you will have to suffer if you chose the alternative.

Also the polution's drawbacks from global climate change to your personal health problems aren't real... or they are real but not as severe as people claim... well actually they are severe but we can totally fix those easier than transitioning away from burning the planet... okay maybe we can't fix it but totally demolishing our economy by not killing the planet would be much more expensive... and so on, ad infinitum ad nauseam.

I'm Uninstalling Windows. – The Linux Experience by Vex (video, 46:52 mins) on Aug 24, 2026

No, you said these videos show common mistakes on purpose because real users would make them. Which is okay...

But it doesn't matter if it was an honest mistake or one made on purpose because it's a common thing.

Ignoring the chat telling him the problem (and that he caused it himself) and also not mentioning the problem's origin anymore later was not an accident. Given the fact that he later made some offhand comment about "yeah, shader thing again" he understood the problem yet intentionally chose to not include the explanation in the video but leave it at "on Linux there are random freezes I don't understand".

When you look around your room do you not see a plethora of goods made by polluting industries?

No, but yeah some trees died for furniture. 🙄

Do you travel exclusively by foot?

No, also by bike and public transport. Which partly is still running on fossil fuels (although still vastly more efficient per person) because brain rot (or money) tells people in the relevant positions that greener alternatives don't work or are inefficient.
Even for people actually dependent on cars it's not real facts that keeps them chained to rediculously oversized cars running on inefficient combustion engines. That exclusively based on propaganda, paid by the people that want to keep selling fossil fuels.

Do you eat only foods that can be brought to your area without refrigerated trucks?

Mostly actual... but that isn't even the point. I talked specifically about the big chunk of pollution that is burning fossil fuels. Are you trying to tell me that you can't transport those electric (on the last mile), by (also electrified) train and that you can't run the refrigerators on green electricity somehow?

None of us are willing to give up the computers or network infrastructure

Which was very much not my point. What I was talking about is people's unwillingness to use greener and also more efficient alternatives for a lot of things. Not based on facts. Not based on the unwillingless to go without them completely. But 100% based on loud, constant, paid screaming that those alternatives don't work and are more expensive and really, really don't solve any real problems other that stopping the massive burning of fossils (but shhh... don't talk about that small detail).

I really don't understand your focus on computers and networks that actually have a lot of pros, too, when people not willing to give up their city-tanks or three dozen throw away plastic bags a week (although there are alternatives in no way worse) and often also voting for idiots clinging to fossil fuel power plants and car infrastructure above anything else are also a big problem. Ones we could actually easily solve yet don't because paid narratives are running the show.

I would at least pretend to learn from my mistakes. So when I skip the shader compilation, then experience freezes while shaders get loaded and the whole f***ing chat mentions it, letting them compile first and then seeing if that fixes the issue would be in fact the first thing I would try...

So no, this is not honest "showing common mistakes other people will experience" or "struggling with basics". Because if it was honest there would be any mention of the underlying issue once he understood it. And he obviously did, judging by a later offhand comment about "yeah, shader issues..."

Studie: Deutsche Entwicklungshilfe profitabler als gedacht

Der Titel ist mal wieder 'en glatte Lüge.

Wie profitable Entwicklungshilfe ist, ist lange bekannt. Sie ist nicht profitabler "als gedacht", sondern nur profitababler "als das populistische, rechte Gekeife unserer Regierung gerne behauptet".

(PS: Das selbe gilt übrigens auch für praktisch alle anderen Themen inklusive dem Klimaschutz. Das völlig offensichtlich kostengünstigste (oder, wie hier, gar profitable) Verhalten wird als zu teuer verworfen, weil Akteure mit eigenen Interessen das der korrupten Politik so vorgeben.)

ZDF-Sommerinterview: Alice Weidel will aus Euro aussteigen und deutsche Grenzen schließen

Was meinst du, wem du damit hilfst?

Der bei Verstand gebliebenen Minderheit, um sich im Klaren zu sein, was kommt, und rechtzeitig rauszukommen. Und später hoffentlich der Strafverfolgung, wenn wieder alle so tun, als hätten sie von nichts gewusst.

Denn für Blauzi-Schreihälse oder die "Wir sind völlig normal und bürgerlich und kreischen nur rein zufällig alles nach, was die Faschisten sagen, und wir wollen auch gaaaanz sicher nicht mit denen reigeren zwinker zwinker*"-Rechten in Deutschland entscheiden sich zusammen mehr als 50% aller Wähler, nach Sitzen dann gerne 2/3. Dem einzigen, dem man hier noch helfen kann, ist der deutsche Wähler: mit Therapie. Denn sich nur 80 Jahre später wieder nach Niedergang und Trümmern zu sehnen (oder so dumm zu sein, den Zusammenhang nicht zu verstehen oder zu leugnen) lässt sich nicht anders einordnen als als Geisteskrankheit.

Motorola's GrapheneOS phones will launch in 2027 priced higher than Pixels

Reply in thread

There is a reason we are putting up with decades of legacy stuff still from the original x86 architecture in PCs... the compatibility of hardware and the standardisation even if it's through several extensions build off each other is unmatched.

ARM architecture might be much simpler but you constantly need hardware specific adaptions, which makes support for different mobile devices this mess.

Trump Suggests He Can Use the Military on Bond Markets: ‘If We Have To Use That, We Will’

Reply in thread

The super-rich and corporations want that

The real problem is that because the super-rich want it the majority is also on board because they are mostly brain-dead and will parrot every shit media pours into their empty heads.

Which again leads to: the people want Trump. Why they want him is a completely different topic. But the fact does not go away just because you don't want it to be true.
