I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

Edward something-hands?
You don’t have hands or you don’t have a shadow?
727·19日前You have been a user for 3 years at least, surely you have heard about the tankie situation on Lemmy? If you don’t share these views it’s better to ignore/block those three or four instances. It will make your Lemmy experience much more relaxing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
10·24日前Motorola Mobility belongs to Chinese Lenovo but headquarters are in Chicago. Not sure if that makes it better or worse regarding privacy and surveillance compared to USA only.
The red line is the amount of cash they are ready to compromise for.
11·28日前Get out of your stem bubble (Lemmy being one), do some local sport or activity where there is actual social mixing. You will notice the gap between your bubble and people who barely finished highschool. For me the gap is rather having the privilege to be educated to abstraction rather than being smart (~ IQ). Being able to manage abstraction better is often why you are better paid in STEM.
1·28日前I am not knowledgeable about this, I just checked the Wikipedia page to confirm my understanding of the joke and found these very interesting historical uses.
Octal 31 = 3 x 81 + 1 x 80 = 24 + 1 = Decimal 25
- The Yuki language in California has an octal system because the speakers count using the spaces between their fingers rather than the fingers themselves.[2]
- The Pamean languages in Mexico also have an octal system, because some of their speakers “count the knuckles of the closed fist for each hand (excluding the thumb), so that two hands equals eight.”[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octal
The tobacco industry is a good historical example of all the shit world dominating companies do. The most sneaky thing I can remember is that they finance perfectly good research on a lot of causes of cancer, except for tobacco, so researchers were too busy and happy to get some money to work on something, to investigate tobacco. They also have been buying companies that used to finance legitimate research so researchers that depended on them are now forced into a conflict of interest. https://www.bmj.com/content/385/bmj.q1153
Personal anecdote, a young female data scientists left my current department to join Philip Morris, it blows my mind that young educated people would join this industry willingly, I guess it was for the money.
Sure, not just world wide like the USA currently.
For now, once China becomes the dominant power, they will certainly abuse it as much as the USA do.
I was making a joke because it seems AI intervened against the person in independent times, but thank you for your efforts.
You could share sources about this? I don’t know about your biases.
If you say pamplemousse instead, the sneeze will sound fancier.
That’s… impressive.
