I’ve felt this. YouTube tried to radicalise me to the left ( Yes, I do realise the irony of saying this on this particular server, but it’s my story, and merits telling regardless), and I felt myself spiralling. I realised it, and cut off all of the algorithms. Now I use Freetube on the desktop, so that I only have the content I choose, and the fediverse as other social media.
“Our adversaries are the people on the other side of the aisle. Our enemies are right here”
Hear me out: if you post stuff publicly, it is out there. The issue is data that shouldn’t be public getting public
Wow, just gotta say, I can’t believe my English became bad enough to be mistaken as an American
Oh no, I do know it is actual dissent circulating, but every now and then it’s good to remind people that for some reason Mr Xi Jinping hates the damn stupid comparison with a cartoon bear. And it is actual dissent, since they’ve actually temporarily blocked queries on Baidu for such The Poo, Winnie
China forced Apple to only allow airdrop to all for a few minutes at a time, as apparently it was a popular way to spread Winnie the Pooh pictures
I mean Lincoln and Washingmachine weren’t too bad
How bout some LTT screwdriver bit storage (lttstore.com). But you know what can work às amazing bit storage? This Segway, to our sponsor! Vessie. Vessie footwear works as amazing bit storage if you decide to stack their shoes on top of your desk.
Wait… why would you have a camera on a phone??? Are they trying to spy on you??
I gotta say, I love the fact I learned this through a comedian, who actually is literate and went through the work of reading and realising the answer is right there
Usually used by people who think it is adequate to respond to words that hurt their feelings with physical violence
Less well known [than other paradoxes] is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal. Karl Popper, 2 sentences after defining the paradox of tolerance he shows an easy answer to it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
I just hear buzzwords “kubernetes! Scalable! Docker! AI performance! Latency! Enterprise! Reliable! DATABASE! MangoDB MariaDB! SQLite!
The CEO decided that clients were smart intelligent people and treated people as adults. Aka, no discounts, no 99 pricing, it just costs what it costs, as low as we can make it, plus our margin.
JC Penny was already not too well, this helped sink them
JC Penny kinda showed that no. It isn’t pseudocience
So, context: I’m still fairly young (right now in college), from Europe and fairly into politics (US and otherwise), this all happened when I was still in high school. On YouTube I watch primarily tech/educational content. And then the algorithm starts pushing TLDR news on me. That’s fine, those guys are generally ok and their sources are reliable. Besides, I already have plenty of European news sources and want to catch up to the US. Then slowly new channels were introduced. At first confirming my beliefs, how healthcare is terrible et. all(in the US). Then it started planting small lies, like how there are “only two federal holidays”(it took me a while, even after quitting to dismiss this as a lie and actually checking my sources), and it started escalating, trying to push me left and towards more radical solutions. I’m not yet sure exactly when or how, but at some point I smelled bull crap and realised I was being messed up with. At which point I quit and started curing my own feed.
