So many questions!
Are you suggesting that the political aspects of technology shouldn't be discussed in a technology community?
Are you implying that technology is apolitical? That there are technology subjects to discuss that don't have a political component?
Do discussions of the applications of technology not belong in a technology community?
Have you tried sokui? If you have leftover asian rice, all you need is a blender. It was historically used in Japan to supplement traditional furniture and housing wood joinery.
Crack Attack! is a loving parody of addictive tetrislike games that is also an extremely addictive tetrislike game.
I thought from the title that the song was about how love was gay. Yay invidious!
Russia is still the world's #2 arms exporter. Using supply domestically means that less can be exported, and more importantly, demonstrably under performing compared to western offering reduces demand.
There's the real strategic concern that escalating too quickly will have nuclear repercussions. But the deeper reasons are visible if you view most governments as military industrial corporations stacked under a trenchcoat. The true motivator is that the longer the war continues, the more money will flow from their respective tax payers into their pockets. They don't care about Ukrainian lives, they don't care about Russian lives. The popular support for the war and lack of domestic casualties means they get to ply their trade of death, and they come out smelling like roses. Opposing Russian colonialism is a noble cause, but the nobility belongs to those who are dying in the foxholes, not the warmongers who are squeezing this crisis to get more capital.
Western leaders don't want Ukraine to win. They want Russia to lose. A quick cauterized wound is less damaging than a slow bleed out. Total bankruptcy of the Russian war machine is the objective, the economic elimination of their primary trade competitor.
This is not an appropriate post for this community.
Any rule adds a burden to the mod team. It can be made easier with auto-mod software, but we should make it clear we're asking for more labor from volunteers.
That being said, I'd love a rule to prevent directly linking to youtube, and using invidious or piped instead. I'll mod if it helps to enforce the rule.
Beautiful
I'm disappointed by your condescending tone. I can see we're talking past each other, and I'm happy to end this conversation here.
Why do you assume because I listed the most prominent example of GOSH's censorship, that it was the only one? GOSH also litigated against Canadian author J. E. Somma. In both cases, GOSH settled out of court, and in both cases GOSH enforced a lack of transparency over the settlement as part of the terms. The point of these examples is to demonstrate that GOSH went beyond the bounds of mere royalty collector when they saw the chance, not to demonstrate chilling effect.
Chilling effect is not about the books that survived the gauntlet of publication to make it to the litigation stage; it's about all the ideas that never had a chance to blossom because the threat of copyright enforcement nipped them in the bud. Part of what makes this kind of corporate theft so insidious is that it is impossible to count the works it prevented from existing, or judge the social good they would have done.
The guy you're trying to pass the buck to, money_loo, is from a lemmy instance that only has Chicago sports communities and whose front page is mostly federated meme posts. You're a BeeHaw user. You've presumably read and agreed to the Beehaw community documents.
I expect more than anti-intellectualism from you.
