Memories rot over time. Apparently he's not. Well, South Africans have Shuttleworth and de Raadt for this to not be a final nail.
Well, about parts of the world which worry me the most (Armenia and Artsakh) the EC is the source of calling ethnic cleansing "voluntarily leaving" and the perpetrator "a reliable partner" sanctioning which "would be counterproductive yet". So maybe addressing that is more important.
And if it's not for somebody, then I'm sure that person understands the subjective weight of their opinion for me (about half a turd).
I am 100% fine with censorship of known falsehoods.
Known to whom? You unilaterally give your side (in any argument) right to decide what's a "known falsehood" and then to use force to censor it.
That's literally why gun ownership is a necessity for a healthy society.
Let them appeal it in court.
Bullshit. Nobody is obligated to prove their right to a voice.
Even the tools behind 1/6, besides the biggest tool at the top, won’t even risk perjury and probably contempt, in court, with the risk of jail, unlimited fines, and permenant censorship from mass media on the line.
I often write and say such, less easily comprehensible than normal, sentences in my native language, but sadly I am not proficient enough in English to understand yours. I think I get the general emotion which kinda proves that you are even openly dreaming of abusing such a system.
I would prefer the falsehood to left up, colored a deep red and shrunk down to like 8pt font with a pop up on your curser that comes up when you hover over it, stating the fact of what it is; such as ‘unproven’, ‘demostrably false’ hyperlinked to evidence, ‘conjecture’, or ‘MTG - Jewish Space Laser crazy’.
I think there are browser extensions for this kind of thing exactly, and with today's widespread use of various AI's these can be even more satisfactory to all your goals except those which should be countered with gunfire.
Pick up social issue, it doesn’t matter your stance on it. Chances are, there is a science behind it that clearly takes a position. Facts over feelings.
Usually that position would be taken with hostility by all sides relevant in the society, or distorted to fit their narrative. Facts are always stronger than feelings in the outside world, while feelings are always stronger than facts in your head (or mine).
Changing your mind when given new information is a strength, not a weakness. Doubling down on error…? That’s some flat earth, you are definitely going to an old folks home now, kind of shit. That’s how it looks. Onset dementia.
This paragraph of yours is quite close to how onset dementia looks like IRL.
I apologize to those with real onset dementia, we know you didn’t choose it, you’re still worthy of respect.
Well, then surely you are going to visit a doctor after my advice?
See those downvotes? Yes, that's because those times were conditioned by the Internet being a niche thing. You can't expect such adequacy today even here.
That aside, legally fighting "misinformation" is outright obvious censorship, not even trying to pretend to be something else.
AfD in Saxony-Anhalt
Yes, I've heard of that. I've also heard that they vary much in, eh, ideological climate in different states. So - it may be just a result of them being a populist party.
I would provide a source, but it’s in German
That'd be fine, I can't write and speak in German, but a wee bit better at understanding texts.
They speak like Nazis,
Not really, I've actually took a lot of interest in how Nazis really spoke when I was 15 years old. It was a weird time in my life, so wanted to know more closely things surely known to be evil and good to recognize evil and good in my surroundings.
(Thinking of Klemperer's book.)
"Antisemitic and xenophobic" statements are not limited to Nazis, while some specifically Nazi traits of speech I can see being more popular, but really not limited to AfD and the likes. Even here one can encounter such.
they act like Nazis.
I don't think they've started killing their opponents on the streets yet, or forming paramilitary groups.
doesn’t mean they are harmless or that calling them out for what they are would “water down the term ‘Nazi’”
You may be right, but parties and entities more similar to Nazis in other parts of the world usually were pretty open about their intentions from the very beginning, while AfD doesn't send the same signals.
Anything is worth differentiating from a thing which is, well, different from it.
Kemalists are not the same as Young Turks, for example (however, saying that Kemal and Kemalists are not a direct continuation of Young Turks for all intents and purposes is something only a clueless European would do, trying to whitewash them because Kemalist Turkey joined NATO early).
He can go to Afghanistan and offer his kids (if he has any) for bacha-bazi, right now.
Congrats, you are smarter than most people talking about regulations.
Nazis will also never come back. What, they soon are the biggest party in Germany, in other countries too?
Calling AfD Nazis is an exaggeration watering down the term.
I'm not saying actual honest-to-God Nazis are not coming back. In fact, I'm sure they are, no evil is ever defeated forever. Time to cast away stones and time to collect stones.
People obviously learn by doing real things, so competitive skilled labor won't be more available than it is now. EDIT: ... if they wait for it to be
They just have to get projects through one by one, then with time there'll be more competent people.
But yes, some effort in schooling won't hurt.
I'm too young, but I think I've read that we've already been there, when expert systems written in Lisp were all the rage, and you would write them questions. Of course, the percentage of humanity to ever see such a system was slim.
It could. In fact it will make that part of the Web yet another step closer to a bot-populated SEO-infested graveyard where a living human will find nothing useful.
If only my friends would stop using VK to communicate, and my family FB for the same.
I meant something with peerflix inside, to stream torrented stuff.
Not only pedos, in general sadistic people tend to try and get jobs which would give them the feeling of power over someone, and not all of them can be dictators, warlords, just politicians, even lowly prison guards or policemen, also cowardice is a factor. So - child-related jobs.
But, to be frank, I'm not sure background checks are going to do that much good. People of this kind tend to bunch together, help each other, and can either get past the radar rather easy or utilize these checks to discredit anybody who'd be a threat to them.
It's a complex matter.
In my humble opinion until the producers of such appliances learn honesty through pain, it's much better to have a pirate streambox (with something like torrentflix or Popcorn Time or whatever, I just download torrents and watch on my laptop, so don't use these things).
If it were for me to decide, they would be down in hiding. Cause being up in arms would mean legs broken, and also fingers or their hands to prevent further use of computer keyboards and mice.
Also an abbreviation which is expanded into "search engine optimization" by the very fscking name means that they are ruining the Internet, or the Web as its part, more precisely.
