I am totally on board condemning China, but you aren't with Israel and that says it all - and i don't believe you actually are concerned about this muslim minority if you aren't at least as horrified by Israeli actual warcrimes and an ongoing genocide.

They already monitor everyone, they already control all markets they dont just prevent births they kill kids in an ethnic cleansing according to experts at the ICC, Amnesty International, Doctors without Borders and many others.

Again, unfathomable to me that you can list "they prevent births" as worse than murdering over 40.000 kids in a few years in Gaza and 100.000 civilians according to the newest numbers - that's by all measures worse than what China's doing and why every respectable NGO and expert groups are talking about Israel and not the Uyghurs at the moment.

Why are you not condemning Israels/US ethnic cleansing when i'm condemning chinas actions on multiple fronts?

Do you condemn Israel? And if not - then what even is this concern of yours? Both are bad but Israel is much worse according to litterally all major NGOs.

Seriously do you condemn US imperialism and the genocide in Gaza too?

And the Uyghur repression is no genocide compared to Palestine thats complete US misinformation and frankly a sinister comparison - the US is much much more violent, again look at Palestine, before that literally 30+ wars for resources and markets with millions of civilians dead.

Im not naive about China but this US = beacon of human rights angle is frankly gross to me.

China has many problems but americans are literally worse and you wanting to boycut due to human rights, is this a joke?

The US is worse than China in many aspects, from forever wars to climate over colonialism to fascism and support for an ongoing extremely violent genocide on over a hundred thousand civilians, - where is China geonociding hundreds a week right now? Yeah nowhere, but the US is doing that every decade.

Incredible to see this angle that 'the good guys' are bowing down to bad China in this context when you have so much poverty, political repression and lack of gay rights, abortion etc in many right wing states to straight up hyper right wing terrorism targeting vulnerable populations every year.

I thought censoring and straight up brigading was not allowed here? But i guess if they do what the article is about they can easily sway a thread like this in a few minutes, and i'm sure they do when stuff becomes frontpage on various sites. Can't talk about the genocide.

Im sceptical. I've never seen what you describe outside of toxic "culture war clickbait videos", what i have seen is nepotism, class privileges and sprint culture pushed by investors - you know the exact opposite of what you describe.

We need something that's good for small and medium businesses again, local news and get an actual marketplace going - you know what the internet actually promised.

Anyone working on something like this?

You probably have no idea how much working class anger, how many unknown groups and "screams from the abyss" are being targeted, removed, censored, deranked before they gain any critical mass in this bizarre cybernetic web that's been created. I sure don't.

But sometimes you feel it on a gut level, flooded in a torrent of PR and entertainment, mind controlling algorithms and mainstream media with an increasingly tiny overton window disregarding the circus of culture wars farming attention and steering political anger for economic political gains - through a media landscape where all local news, actual working class papers representing real people, and diversity of thought has been replaced by thoughts™ approved by one of the few giga corporations working for a microscopic plutocracy.

It's over 100 years since Edward Bernays et al. invented modern PR, then came astroturfing, and now it's all so weird and colossal that no talks about what was seemingly obvious a century ago.

Disclaimer, i actually like a bit of "bling", but both Tahoe and IOS so filled with glitches and errors, while the UX is bizarrely inconsistent it really is catastrophically bad.

Yeah the over thirty thousand dead kids really shouldn't have "done" october 7, a response done by completely different people to decades of violence, it was so stupid of them.

This is vile and incredibly dehumanising if not straight up violently racist.

These companies and their shareholders really are complete scum in my eyes, just like AI in miltech.

Not because the tech isn't super interesting but because they steal years of hard work and pain from actual artists with zero compensation - and then they brag about it in the most horrible way possible, with zero empathy.

Then comes losing the little humanity left the mainstream culture, exactly as Miyzaki said, leading to a dead cold and even more unjust society.

Point is LLM's makes this problem 1000 times worse and so it really is a ticking time bomb thats totally new - most people, most programmers, most day to day work will not include some head in the clouds abstract metaprogramming but now LLM's both force programmers to "do more" and constantly destroys anyones flow state, memory, and the 99% of the talent and skill that comes from actually writing good code for hours a day.

LLM's are amazing but they also totally suck because they essentially steal learning potential, focus and increase work pressure and complexity, and this really is new, because also senior programmers are affected by this, and you really will feel this at some point after using these systems for a while.

They make you kind of demented, and no you can't fight this with personal development and forced book reading after getting up at 4 am in the morning just as with scrolling and the decrease in everyones focus, even bibliophiles.

This was already pointed out a month ago but Apple are seemingly completely MIA.

This would be hotfixed in most companies withing hours, it's that grave.

I wonder how many business critical websites are simply not working atm, even more dangerous infrastructure and health related apps.

I guess they wanted to streamline the experience of browsing with using their extremely buggy UI.

Its only utopian because it's become so incredibly bad.

We shouldn't expect less, we shouldn't push guilt or responsibility onto the consumer we should push for more, unless you actively want your neighbour, you mom, and 95% of the population to be in constant trouble with absolutely everything from tech to food safety, chemicals or healthcare - most people aren't rich engineers like on this forum and i don't want to research for 5 hours every time i buy something because some absolute psychopaths have removed all regulation and sensible defaults so someone can party on a yacht.
