I think what people are trying to tell you in a more pedantic way, is that all media is biased, because all people are biased and all that unbiased really will mean is that the authors share your same bias and blind spots, so it will look fair, when you don't understand the ways that it might affect somebody with a different perspective. Even reporting strictly facts has the bias of what facts were not included. It's impossible to include all facts in a story about something, so the only way to get an accurate perspective is to collect experiences. The pictures people in gaza take of their lives will always give you a better perspective of what is happening than the news organization that doesn't want to unfairly represent anybody. So accept bias as part of media. Try to find your own blind spots in that exploration. To that end it doesn't so much matter what you read, but how you read.
404media has some deep blind slots in regard to racism and it's relationship to surveillance. They don't seem to fully understand that surveillance isn't just about coercing people to follow laws, but that as identities are criminalized more and more, it is about making people feel uncomfortable supporting and standing up for the people in targetted groups. I feel like this comes from having a predominantly cis//white perspective that forms the understanding of this issue. Just my opinion.
Productivity is such a bullshit idea... Like how do you measure productivity? In GDP? Because in that sense, inflation increases productivity (nevermind that what that really means is that more money moved around simply because everything costs more). Or are you measuring units shipped? What units? In what way could these be equivalent. Output for outputs sake is the definition of bullshit jobs. Most of this productivity people talk about is actually just meaningless toiling for meaningless output. We aren't building homes or harvesting food or in any way bettering our lives, we are toiling towards tricking rocks into being forced to suffer consciousness or something as closely approximating that as possible. Leave the pretty rocks alone and do something useful, for something other than GDPee growth. In what way is making the number go whirrrrr worth destroying the biosphere? Nobody is happy. The rich are miserable because as it turns out even being the first person to a trillion net worth can't fill the dad shaped hole in your heart and the poor are miserable because meaningless toil is not a great recipe for fulfillment. This whole system up to and including AI needs to go full sui, so we can get back to picking fleas of eachother's backs... Or you know, whatever the fuck you feel like doing when society doesn't have a gun to your head.
Why not get a lenovo for 1/4 the price and either install linux or buy one from them that ahips with linux... I always go on ebay, get a used thinkbook or some such device (dells have also been easy to put linux on), that way I'm not paying money for the windows license that I have no use for. It's not that hard to put linux and it will have much easier compatibility with your other devices. Mac will lock you into the mac ecosystem and in a few weeks you'll be back on here for iphone recommendations, because your macbook says fuck you to anything not apple related. Apple is a lifestyle brand. They want you running around with the apple watch and the iphone and this and that "smart," device and there is just no room for your linux or android compatibility if you want to be in the mac club. It's really just a cult.
The word "alleged," is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. If this was about antifa doing something sketchy, somehow nobody would be thinking about how to word things to avoid a libel suit.
This idea is the logical ancestor of eugenics, which I am sure was not your intention. Parental Intelligence does not determine or indicate their progeny's intelligence. You can't really determine beforehand what exactly you are going to get, just that certain things that are dominant ilils are more likely. As far as intelligence goes that seems to be dependent on a lot of genes, not just one intelligence gene, so it starts to actually become more important how you raise your kid to actualize their potential actross whatever spectrum of their expression of their genes. A lot of people fall into this trap of thinking oh we are intelligent(which almost everybody assumes they have a lot more in the bank than they do in that regard), so we will have a smart baby. It's just not accurate. If you and your partner are in fact geniuses it actually starts to become less likely your kid will be as well when you look at the actual dispersal of geniuses. Its largely random and not common, so just statistically, you aren't likely to have that many really smart people closely related. In which case, and I say this tongue in cheek, but, good luck getting your stupid baby to reject capitalism. My brother-in-law who is a tech bro that thinks he embodies good genetics, thought he could potty train his kid in under a year and it's looking like they unfortunately for them, just got an average guy. I can't imagine how soul cruahing that must be for them. But the average is the average over such a huge sample set, usually because it is just a very common range. So if you do end up having kids, it would be a lot more productive to think, what am I going to do with my average baby. If you get a genius it'll be despite you, if you get a dummy, well, hopefully you can still love them anyway. Probably just better to spare you and your baby the disappointment that is being forced to share space with people you don't like due to losing the birth lottery.
To that end, capitalism has stolen our lives and I feel like I'll be damned if I give them another generation of slaves. I'm not doing that. Ever.
Not using it as an insult has only allowed liberals to temporarily cosplay anarchism before betraying the real reason they get involved in things, which is to convince people voting for their Blue MAGA candidate will some how be a lesser evil and it never is.
I have been able to install ad blockers into Chromium, but I can remember if I had to change something somewhere. The point is, that it can be done... But overall I do agree that we Chromium is not fine overall. It needs to be forked to have full community control. FF has been forked a lot and I think that is the only reason we currently have functional browsers. Apparently this is a big problem, because you don't see other much work in this area apart from servo, which would be great if it could get enough traction to be a full blown browser soon. I will switch on day 1.
Google is mask off now. It's 100% a spyware company and jn AmeriKKKan crapitalism, caveat emptor.
Could we get a non YouTube link, since YouTube is owned by google and is causing the problem discussed by this video?
If you are looking for stuff to financially support specifically, I think sites that handle leaks are probably your best bet. They always need money between all the legal shit and the infrastructure that requires.
