seems like you are the outlier in this case

I’m afraid of urban density, diversity, genders and social progress. That makes me superior.

Fear is the mind killer. Long live the fighters.

Thanks for conceding your post.

you have no relevant proof or evidence of your claims, it’s not my problem

prove it

That’s still just an assertion on your part. Maybe you should surveil some books before making assertions.

Anecdotal evidence can be true or false but is not usually subjected to scholarly methods, scientific methods, or rules of legal, historical, academic, or intellectual rigor, meaning there are little or no safeguards against fabrication or inaccuracy.

This does very little to add any weight to your assertions. No effort is required on my part still.

Surveillance protects people from terrorism, and sacrificing some privacy makes us safer.

In logical discussions, the burden of proof lies with the person making a claim, meaning they must provide evidence for their assertion rather than expecting others to disprove it.

No wonder there’s cosmic inflation, the universe is just a cosmic balloon.

I got a nice OLED TV as my main monitor. I only connect it to the internet to run updates if I think it is necessary (there is also usually a USB option for updates too), then disconnect once that’s done. Works great for sailing the seas and streaming whatever. It’s unfortunate I paid for stuff that I won’t use in the TV, but that’s often the case with many products these days.

I’ve got a feeling this is specifically related to DRM in the HDMI spec that prevents video capture of encrypted content. Maybe I’m remembering something vaguely from about a decade ago about HDMI content encryption that is no longer relevant, but my hazy memory is that this was a core element of the HDMI spec that media corps wanted to prevent digital copying. Not that it really means anything at this point, the seas are full of high quality rips regardless, but maybe there is some dubious legal value in preventing an open source driver?

In the western hemisphere there is also the Bat Falcon (they are known to hunt hummingbirds too). In Africa there is the Pygmy Falcon.

And the smallest falcon in the world is in Malaysia: Black-thighed Falconet

typically measuring between 14–16 centimetres (5.5–6.3 in) long, with a 27–32 centimetres (11–13 in) wingspan, which is a size comparable to a typical sparrow

This falconet mainly feeds on insects, including moths, butterflies, dragonflies, alate termites and cicadas, occasional small birds, and lizards. Feeding behavior appears to often be social, with feeding parties up to ten recorded.

If we can get rid of MS and keep PS as a community project, that’d be nice.

“copy image” uses less than 0.01% of the resources used when generating an AI image

The “stealing art” thing is more about AI providing no way to trace back to the original works that were used to train it. It is completely opaque. With art that is copied for a meme, that is not really the case as it is not obfuscated in the same way. Often the art is easily recognized or can be located via a reverse image search.

AI as a tool can be useful, but so far most iterations are entirely in service to capitalist speculation. Burning through resources to generate aesthetic goo to hype up speculation deserves all the scorn that can be heaped upon it.

“The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.”
