As for COVID, I don't think that videos of Bill Gates talking about pandemic 5 years ago made a difference, it were vaccines themselves — do they stop the spread? Do they work at all and if not why are they mandatory? This ruined the public trust, no wonder some turned to conspiracies for answers.
I mean, sure there were those talking about microchips and 5G towers from the get go, but those are just urban madmen, I think there are relatively few of them.

@kravietz They are starting to rely on deep fakes more and more and not only that, CG too!

Some of the vehicles shown in this propaganda clip were never visually confirmed as captured so most probably CG it is 😂

BTW I have partially worked it around by configuring Firefox Suggest to prefer bookmarks and history entries and adding bookmarks for things I need: about:conig, about:logins and about:profiles — it still autocompletes to the wrong one, but the right one is a couple of presses of down arrow away, makes it more bearable.

@iska
This takes signature Shaft head tilt to the next level 😆

@kevinrothrock
It doesn't look as it was done on purpose to build him a favourable image as the article mentions assassinations of Fomin and Dougina, and drone attack on Kremlin — operations that might have served its purposes, but just as questionable and supported only by a few 🤷

@mirabilos
Well, it's alphabetical 🤷
But why do they hide about: scheme from history at all and do not apply the same rules, using the most recent one for autocompletion is beyond me 😁

You don't, they just keep growing like a giant human snowball sucking new beings in! 😈
In other words, it's just a rebranding of Human Instrumentality Project 🤭

And the cable is 100% not faulty, it works perfectly for data transfers, it even works with a different phone. So when I'm looking for a cable to charge my phone, I have to remember to not use this one. What good is having a unified port if the rule of thumb is still to use the original charger/cable — not for optimal results, sometimes to work at all? 🤷

@MacLemon @Vorsos @davemark
It was great when you could take any cable out of the drawer and if the plug and the port fit, in absolute most cases it kinda worked. Now I have to think: do I want the cable for charging or for data transfer? 🤔
I have a cable that doesn't charge battery in my phone at all — it's "charging", but the phone is just running off the charger, it will never get charged, no matter for how long you leave it plugged.

@gabrielesvelto
Anyway, my original thought was that no tech is just greater good, they all come with pros an cons, by today's standards p2p file sharing overhead is acceptable, two decades ago it didn't seem so. So maybe some of the tech that we consider "excessive" today will become acceptable tomorrow 🤷

@gabrielesvelto … levels of availability, it might become be something.
You're right of course, it's still nothing compared to what running network equipment uses, but that equipment has to be running anyway, distributed or not. Hashing overhead is directly related to being a distributed system.
Of course in our perfect scenario, we might want to remove the encryption part too, but in the days of surveillance and spoofing, it might not be a good idea.

@gabrielesvelto
Yeah, sure, it comes from my personal perception back from the days when having Azureus running was a noticeable hit on performance, so using something slightly more optimized (or at least not written in Java 😉) made sense. Nowadays I barely notice transmission-daemon running, except for when someone tries to utilize whole 100 Mbps of my connection 😅
Still, if you multiply that by tens of thousands of nodes running in p2p network — and that's what you want to achieve acceptable…

@gabrielesvelto
I'd counter that with the fact that torrents waste a lot of electricity on hashing things that might seem redundant — just last week I've stopped seeding Ubuntu image with ratio over 2000 and I'm not even an Ubuntu user, now my seedbox that seeds over 2Tb of other stuff sits mostly idle, but, you know, in the days of crypto and huge server farms burning electricity just on training neural networks that seems really insignificant 😅

@sysrq
I'd also throw "-a" in — so everything gets lumped together without any semblance of being an atomic change:
git commit -am "[FIX] Fixed some shit" 🤣
@theorytoe

@useless_idiot
Yeah, it's also a byproduct of being self-centered:
— Russia attacks Ukraine just like that? Can't be, it has to be US-orchestrated — so military industrial complex profits from it!
— Why don't we see arms production significantly ramped up in almost two years then?
— You're just brainwashed by the media!

Oh, FFS… 🤦

@useless_idiot Basically, classic "survivors of communist regime" meme, but it's greentext 😂
True, westerners are really self-centered, at times it's very hard to prove that not everything revolves around their internal agenda — they keep fighting over it and some don't seem to realize what absolute insane foreign shit they might be supporting in the process.
Some might even view passing power down the family line as women's empowerment 🤦
