@cappy because that requires #NuancedOpinion, which most people in an age of hyper-polarizing #AntisocialMedia don't want to invest in.

  • Circumstances, Context and the who and what for that make the difference between self-defense and murder, between accident and purposeful as well as between "survival" and "greed"...

EVERYTHING can be weaponized! But that's upon the end user!

@wolf480pl @cas it's easy...

The reasons one can despise something and the reason one appreciates it can be different.

I.e. I can appreciate #macOS for it's #accessibility right from the #installer but I can #despise it for #Apple not selling it as a commercial #Unix distro for a #subscription

Same with #bash: I can appreciate it for being better than #sh (unix-#shell) , #tcsh or #csh but I despise it for not having modernized like #fish.

It's called having "mixed feelings" or rather #NuancedOpinion.

@liztai it's not "anti-#China". (Tho feel free to tell that #lie to yourself long enough so you start believing it and ignore the facts at hand)...

  • It's mere pragmatism...

#Beijing doesn't want to see people, espechally in groups, exercise power of any form, because otherwise they get bad ideas.

  • It's the same reason why every government that isn't expected to have poluralism cracks down on opposition groups. Regardless if China, North Korea, Iran, Azerbaijan, or whatever nation we pick...

But feel free to ignore the pragmatism with made-up reasons to do so, cuz wearing blinkers is comfortable.

Also #Taiwan is an independent nation!

@barney @artemis
I guess this is her admitting to be a "useful idiot" in terms of #USpol then.

Don't think for a second that a Trump-#Dictatorship won't hatecrime anyone for not voting Trump just because someone wasted your vote on a candidate with less chance to win than #Sanders * #AOC * #Biden (in their percentages)...

  • If she'd knew the concept of #NuancedOpinion you'd most likely also accept the necessity of choosing a "lesser evil" and basically any candidate but #Vance or literal Klansmen is better than Trump.

Sounds shit, but unless the #USA gets it's shit together and changes it's election system that's the only realistic scenario that won't require an #intervention to prevent the #OrangeTyrant from declaring himself emperor for life!

@egalitaire @benfell the problem is the inherently shit system of the #USA.

I know this is bad but I"d rather see people try to prevent a #christofacist #dictator by all means necessary (starting with elections OFC!) than conditionlessly surrendering to #Project2025 without a fight.

  • Because this isn't (just) about the 313M people in the #USA, but #USpol decides the fate of over 1B people who never got any say in it whether they like it or not and I'm one of them...

I wish it was different but sadly that's the #shitshow we've got now...

@csgraves @dragonarchitect @nixCraft @gearlicious no, you need to go to law school and actually check the #facts:

No #Copyright-able works can be generated without #Authorship and a machine isn't a natural #person, thus can't be an #author.

Also if we think all #learning is #CopyrightInfringement, then we all are #DebtPeons to the #Copyrightmafia starting the moment we read or consume any media, including #Schoolbooks!

Not that I'd call it "#AI" for what is essentially a #shitposting #Chatbot nor that I defend the #WastefulComputing done for that #BuzzwordDrivenDevelopment...

Cuz that's a #NuancedOpinion...

@thomasfuchs well, #3DTV|s and #3D blu-rays worked, they just were badly executed at the time, and noone was willing to pay 3-4 digits extra for the few good Movies like #Avatar...

  • Still prefers passive circular polarization based #3D as used by #LG which led to extremely cheap and light glasses, even tho it required subpixel-perfect alignment of the polarization layer to work

in terms of #Cryptocurrencies, everything but #Monero is a #Shitcoin and instead of #NFTs & #Blockchain there's #ImmuDB:

And yes, "#AI" aka. #ShitpostingAsAService and "#CleverBot, but worse!" is just pure #Enshittification...

@KarunaX @Silverseren @stopthatgirl7 If you even took a few seconds to scroll through my account you'd be ablebso see a .

Considering literally commits the of not only stealing resources like fuel and energy from a hospital but literally putting their HQ below one as well as their unwillingless to concede and instead proudly threaten new attacks like , do you really expect me to think they are the good guys?
