Oh no, how dare the government pressure a private company to censor objectively false and deadly misinformation during a public health crisis and foreign disinformation campaigns that triggered a lethal insurrection … Thank god we don’t have that tyrannical dictator anymore: now we just pull statistics off public websites and try to get comedians the president doesnt like fired; back to what the founders envisioned!
… What a shit narrative.
Training is expensive. Inference probably cost less than the mushy straw.
Look at what the left has done to this country! Don’t they have any respect for our public servants? There used to be a time when they could just go lynch a mothafucka for fun, as a way to unwind after work; but no more. They have no respect for our time-honored traditions. Now they have to take a forced vacation after? Cruel and unusual, I tell you!
Big surprise: the “support our troops” crowd never gave a fuck about them. Just like how they support gun ownership, and free speech, and religion, the unborn, free markets, the rule of law, family, small government, peace, democracy, personal liberty, civility, …
Almost as if it’s all just empty, hollow rhetoric they use to beat people over the head with to further their agenda without meaningfully addressing.
Weird how that keeps happening, huh…
Car propaganda from a country with painfully inadequate bike infrastructure?
I don’t think slowing climate change is the motivation… More like to reduce dependence on fossil and become a leader in renewable techs.
So much for the tolerant left /s
In terms of social culture, I think the two are closer than what most westerners would be comfortable admitting. In terms of military capability… Well Russia is a few years into its “three day special military operation” so not much else needs to be said.
“The gap between 25,000 and 339 speaks volumes” wow that’s a blatant lie. 339 children returned woth a delegation, adding to a previous ~1200. There are databases of thousands: that was just one occurrence of some being returned.
If the writer is that disingenuous, there’s no point listening to the rest.
The only people in the west who fear Russia are boomers who got swept up in USSR cold-war propaganda. Most well-informed people in the US for example, don’t even see Russia as a near peer.
Bingo. These are the same people who will say that most political violence comes from the left while removing a study showing the opposite: a study about a statistical trend that has been well known and documented for longer than I’ve been alive.
They don’t care. Their beliefs shape shift to fit whatever is most expedient in the moment. They will openly lie to your face, without even trying to hide that it’s a lie while they smile and say they’re being honest. The people who gaslit the nation about project 2025 only to have cabinet members gleeposting about implementing it on social media.
Truth is irrelevant and reality is an inconvenience. Hypocrisy is as dead to them as the corpse of civility they prop up whenever it suits their narrative.
Same reason why tankies don’t just move to China, or why some Canadians had Trump bumperstickers: the point is to take over and wield authority as a weapon. Of course they try to invade and pollute every space they can and muddy waters wherever possible.
You’d think legislatures would care more about elder care given the fact that they’re all fucking ancient but I guess 1) theyre rich so fuck the poors and 2) ghouls don’t care about discomfort anyways
JXL is the rightful heir to the throne and none of these treasonous corporate usurpers in the court can convince me otherwise. I’ll never bow to the Webp or Avif factions. While it looks bleak, I pray the crown finds its way to the head of the true king. Long live the Jpeg bloodline!
But really, webp was pushed because it supports DRM and avif is an implementation detail turned feature afterthought just because webp adoption sucked as much as the format does. I love AV1 for video but avif isn’t fit for purpose and webp is garbo. I really wish they didn’t take jpegxl out behind the shed for no good reason… It has some awesome engineering.
I don’t speak German but I’m guessing this is fucking stupid, isn’t it…
Putin’s bitch
Well, I skimmed it…
This is all because Obama wore a tan suit
Man I hate the webapp trend…
Me typing “big titty anime girl” into a NSA SCIF
The 3 day war is crazy man… It’s like a dudebro getting out of his lifted pavement-princess pickup truck with the express intent to stomp on an anthill to prove how strong he is only to get swallowed whole into the earth and eaten alive.
