It’s funny that there’s one incident of class violence in the other direction, and think tanks suddenly start pushing drivel like this in attempt to control public perception.

Sadly, those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

Wait, there’s a client that supports user tagging? Which one?

It’s true. All the hamster furries run in big wheels to keep the tube pressure up and the packets flowing.

He can just pile all the dead birds carcasses in Central Park. Surely that’ll help.

That’s a good question. I could see that there might be a lot of downward pressure to find this guy and make an example of him. Maybe they were just happy to fins a patsy to take some of the pressure off.

I think what’s incredibility obvious to you and I is an area of willful and encouraged ignorance for some who benefit from the results of their ignorance. I think that the media is largely complicit is beyond distasteful, but it’s also the reality we live in.

I also think it’s important for wikipedia to work through their own NPOV policies. It should be applauded that they eventually arrived at the correct conclusion, AND moreso that they spent time considering and discarding contrary positions.

Accepting one particular viewpoint with no consideration is dogmatism, and is not helpful to progressive causes.

Dogmatic? That’s pretty rich coming from the country with so much entrenched guilt that they’re willing to let the same thing happen someplace else because the ones they’ve wronged are now the perpetrators.

The correct lesson wasn’t only that ethnic persecution of Jewish people is to be avoided, it’s that all ethnic persecution should be avoided.

Or shot him as well as 2 bystanders and another cop, and then claimed he had a knife, but that it was subsequently stolen.

Backblaze regularly releases failure rate statistics of their drives, and it’s often a big enough dataset to be quite meaningful. I haven’t been keeping up with it lately, but there certainly was a period of time where there were substantial differences in the failure rates of different manufacturers.

So while you do still need to have drive failure mitigation strategies, buying more reliable devices can definitely save you time and headache in the future by having to deal with failures less frequently.

The US is struggling to even maintain its democracy, and all the while, excessive wealth extraction is strangling its economy. They’re stagnating, so it’s not at all surprising that a country with 4x the population would overtake it eventually.

One minor caveat where CPU could matter is AVX support. I couldn’t get ollama to run well on my system, despite having a decent GPU, because I’m using an ancient processor.

I didn’t even realize where we were until I read your comment.

In 2009, CNN’s current CEO and chairman was called the 65th most powerful person in the world by Forbes.

I wonder if he’d have any financial incentive one way or the other?

I agree, and understand change takes time. But to be clear, I’m saying advocating for half measures is relatively ineffective, not that half measures themselves have no effect.

Really? That’s how things play out in reality for sure, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be calling for anything less than a complete abolition of animal exploitation and cruelty. But let’s try it with some social movement that’s often discussed on Lemmy to be sure. Do you think this is a good take:

“You shouldn’t call for an end to the genocide in Gaza, that’s unrealistic. Just stick to ‘Israel should try and kill fewer Palestinians.’ Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.”

The problem of advocating for half measures is that you don’t properly communicate that the behavior in question is unacceptable. It sends a mixed message: “It’s bad and you shouldn’t do it, but it’s still OK to do a little.”

If you can’t understand the difference between structure and content, there’s no point in discussing further.

I don’t mean to equate anything here, but do you think that would have been an effective strategy for social change in other movements?

Like: “What if we just did a little slavery? It’ll be much easier to convince slave owners to give up slavery if they got used to having just a few slaves.”

Do you think that would have been an effective strategy instead of calling for complete abolition?

Once again, I’m not trying to draw a comparison here, you could substitute any past social movement, but the logical structure should hold regardless.

For viewers in the developed west, “there’s plenty of stuff that we can do as individuals,” said Cowperthwaite: eat less meat, reduce food waste, buy less.

Disappointing the directors don’t fully reject consumption of animals, but not surprising since we can’t even covince people to wear a mask when they’re sick.

Yes! Or if you keep going down south, you can go through Hiroshima to Fukuoka, then you can take the ferry over to Busan. There are sooooo many cool historic sites all over the place.

Orca gang, rise up.
