News media keeps painting "Americans can't afford _____ anymore" as "Americans choose to forego _____".

bartolomeo ,

Great meme, even better post description.

bartolomeo ,

This is a good question but I would just like to point out that 15 years ago nobody would have predicted that the questions we were asking and answering on stackoverflow would be used to train models (and that open source would have it's license violated so brazenly) and that if you tried to delete your contributions because you didn't want them to be used to train models you would get banned from the site, so even though adding a license to your comments might be meaningless, it might also be a powerful tool down the line. You never know how it'll go.

bartolomeo ,

Let them eat MEV bot operators.

bartolomeo ,

What's funny is that that's a description of MEV.

gaining access to pending transactions, altering the movement of the electronic currency, and ultimately stealing $25 million in cryptocurrency from their victim

I skipped "fraudulent" because neither MEV bots nor this attack can be called fraudulent imo, although MEV is definitely taking value one didn't help create.

Great things have their start like that, like U.S Cyber Command!

Musk's X Corp loses lawsuit against Israeli data-scraping company (www.reuters.com)

May 10 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge dismissed a lawsuit in which Elon Musk's X Corp accused an Israeli data-scraping company of illegally copying and selling content, and selling tools that let others copy and sell content, from the social media platform....

allowing the scraping and evading X's own anti-scraping technology.

I wonder why evading anti-scraping technology is not treated like bypassing DRM or the DMCAs anti-circumvention rules.

EXCLUSIVE: “You Have Been Warned”: Republican Senators Threaten the ICC Prosecutor over Possible Israel Arrest Warrants (zeteo.com)

A group of influential Republican senators has sent a letter to International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan, warning him not to issue international arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials, and threatening him with “severe sanctions” if he does so....

bartolomeo ,

I'm not the most well read person around but why was there a letter disclosed exclusively to some obscure news agency? Or is it a well known agency that I've just never heard of?

bartolomeo ,

Nobody is really interested in what their step sister is doing, but we don't really mind finding out, either.

bartolomeo ,

Your username checks out because the difference is a fraction of a cent. What's more important is who owns the songs made by those musicians, and in the vast majority of cases it's not the musicians.

The record industry (including streaming) is not worth saving. It's a parasite.

bartolomeo ,

Is Ubuntu enshittifying?

bartolomeo ,

This is like the "there are some responsible assault rifle owners" argument. Although corporations are not required by law to maximize investor returns, CEO "compensation" is often tied to "performance" so the incentives of those with the most decision power make it de facto required to maximize returns to investors. That's why Musk needed to convince his board of directors (who are there to represent the best interests of the share holders) to approve some ridiculous pay package. His "performance" in their eyes is proportional to share holder profits so if they're happy, he gets his absurd pay package, which is why his incentive is to maximize profits for shareholders by any means necessary.

bartolomeo ,

Not because, no. I think it's greed.

It's a big club, and you ain't in it.

bartolomeo ,

Crazy that the proposed solution to propaganda is banning media instead of investing in education that promotes critical thinking. Or maybe the idea here is "no propaganda except mine".

bartolomeo ,

Wow good find. The revolving door in action.

bartolomeo ,

Bernie Sanders has been saying for 30 years that the bill is too damn long! Representatives get very limited time to read bills so they usually don't and just vote along party lines. This is a form of deception and it's intentional.

bartolomeo ,

Their custom DNS is very ant-crypto. Janet Yellen is the personal resolver.

bartolomeo ,

Israel wants to draw the U.S. into a war with Iran. This has been cooking for a long time.

bartolomeo ,

We got to the "this entire community..." stage way faster than Reddit did.

bartolomeo ,

I'm with you, all fictitious capital needs to fall in this category.

bartolomeo ,

This is a great point. "It doesn't work under the existing paradigm" doesn't mean it can't work.

bartolomeo ,

I think companies call that "innovation" these days.

bartolomeo ,

I'm not sure if the Arab spring could have happened without Twitter.

bartolomeo ,

Or be around Catholics.

It just gets worse the more you read (suppo.fi)

Reading about the current events got me looking into the history of Palestine and Israel, and I noticed a lot of Israel's politicians (like Yitzhak Shamir, Menachem Begin, and Ariel Sharon to name a few) were Zionist terrorists (using the word literally, not subjectively) since before the establishment of Israel. The groups they...

bartolomeo OP ,

I guess, yea.

Lehi supported both Hitler and Stalin.

You're right, that does make the picture more complete!

bartolomeo OP ,

I guess that's the far-right aspect to "balance out" the far-left aspect... A perfect amalgamation!

bartolomeo OP ,

Can you show some examples of socialist and anarchist Zionism?

bartolomeo OP ,

Why 1920?

Everything stated is linked in the description.

bartolomeo OP ,

Go ahead, please post it anywhere. It's important that people know history.

bartolomeo OP ,

No, that's not right. Palestine was chosen based on a book of ancient mythology. Jews were a majority in Palestine a couple thousand years ago, though.

Imagine if the great great grandchildren of Chinese immigrants to America in the 1800s, no matter how mixed race they are now, suddenly immigrated to China, expelled or killed the native Chinese, and claimed that all of China belongs to them because their ancestors were there at an arbitrary point in time. It would be weird, right?

bartolomeo OP ,

Thank you, I didn't know that.

bartolomeo OP ,

They also considered Argentine, for example.

Is that so? What pretext would they have had for stealing land in Argentina?

bartolomeo OP ,

Stop deflecting. It seems like you don't have any answers.

Spain had no right to colonize what is now Argentina. Stealing land is wrong, genocide is wrong. These are not difficult concepts and they apply to everyone.

Still waiting to hear about Zionists planning to establish Israel in Argentina.

bartolomeo OP , (edited )

Thanks for the additional context.

Well, about Ariel Sharon (from Wikipedia)

An official enquiry found that he bore "personal responsibility" for the Sabra and Shatila massacre of Palestinian refugees, for which he became known as the "Butcher of Beirut" among Arabs. He was subsequently removed as defense minister.

And Begin

was described by the British government as the "leader of the notorious terrorist organisation".

And there was a famous open letter published (the one signed by Einstein, among others) that

described Begin's Herut party as "terrorist, right-wing chauvinist organization in Palestine,"[34] "closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties" and accused his group (along with the smaller, militant, Stern Gang) of preaching "racial superiority" and having "inaugurated a reign of terror in the Palestine Jewish community".

And those guys held the highest government office of Israel! It might be weird but it's not uncommon, especially if you look into other government posts too. Like I said, the more you look into it the worse it gets.

Edit: another example

In 1915, Pinhas Felix Rosenblüth, who rose to be Israel's first Justice Minister, wrote in a field report on Ostjuden published in Der Jüdische Student that the great lesson for young Jewish Zionists fighting on the eastern front, on experiencing delusions at what they observe of Jewish life there, was that Palestine was one large "institute for the fumigation of (all) Jewish vermin" (Große Entlausungsanstalt für alles jüdische Ungeziefer).

bartolomeo OP ,

Of those that came in contact with Europeans yes, I think so, but I'm not sure how, for example, the Lakota people came to be on the land they were before they came in contact with Europeans.

bartolomeo OP ,

Thanks for finally putting up a link. It doesn't mention anything about Zionism, though, but a few links in it does say that

Zadoc Kahn presented the German Jewish philanthropist Baron Maurice de Hirsch with the project of setting up a Jewish settlement in Argentina, before JCA was created in 1891. Theodor Herzl considered it expensive and unrealistic. In 1896, when Hirsch died, the association owned a thousand square kilometers of land in the country on which lived a thousand households, the “Jewish gauchos”. It focused on agricultural settlements in Argentina until East European Jews were forbidden to emigrate there. In 1920, 150,000 Jews lived in Argentina[8] and new settlements appeared: (Lapin, Rivera), Entre Ríos (San Gregorio, Villa Domínguez, Carmel, Ingeniero Sajaroff, Villa Clara, and Villaguay),[9] and Santa Fe (Moisés Ville) (about 64% Jews lived in Entre Ríos.)[10]

Please remember that Jewish immigrants != Zionism and that Zionism is not the same a Judaism.

bartolomeo OP ,

Fucking hell I didn't know it was that bad!

bartolomeo OP ,

Already in the 1920s the Labor movement disregarded its socialist roots and concentrated on building the nation by constructive action. According to Tzahor its leaders did not "abandon fundamental ideological principles".[15] However, according to Ze'ev Sternhell in his book The Founding Myths of Israel, the labor leaders had already abandoned socialist principles by 1920 and only used them as "mobilizing myths".

siphoning money from Google

How does that work?

bartolomeo ,

Oh wow. I didn't know that.

bartolomeo ,

Yea, isn't it just "media is capable of influencing public opinion in the United States"? Lots of news about Nazi stuff on twitter so I doubt this law is about protecting the social fabric of the U.S.

bartolomeo ,

Headline 5 years from now, "Dutch hackers sit at outdoor cafes and boost bikers' pedal control, causing havoc and lulz".

Seriously, it took the EU to force Microsoft not to grey out "uninstall Edge". Still there are non-billionaire people who want to eliminate government regulations, it boggles my mind. I mean, besides brainwashed business school bros.

Is osmand normally terrible?

I just tried osmand. It took forever to locate me and then the map would freeze for minutes, then the blue arrow would finally jump to my location. It seems useless for real time navigation, is that normal? Google maps works fine on the phone (Android) so it's not the hardware. Is there maybe some setting I haven't found?...

bartolomeo OP ,

Hmmm, thanks.
