HEIC faces a few struggles with adoption:
AV1 and AVIF don’t have any of these issues –someone correct me if I’m wrong or missing something– so anyone is able to include/distribute the software and modify to their needs.
without evidence pointing to a god, we can easily dismiss the concept. “gods” were invented to explain the world before we had science. we have the tools and knowledge now to dismiss fairytales for what they are, interesting stories.
The guy in the video claimed the year is 2020. Any info on this? I agree with what he says, but would be great to have context and a year in the title. Without context this makes it seems like this just happened.
Just thousands of regular people manually downloading the WhatsApp client for iOS
Not trying to discourage people from doing this, but they likely have caches or rely on CDN’s that wouldn’t really show any impact of any kind. Even if they do, a single day of being “down” is not doing much. For it to be effective people would need to continue this for weeks, and I don’t see anyone caring enough to do that— they’re not even willing to ditch facebook/twitter/whatsapp, we think they’re going to maintain a DDoS attack?
Same issue with uploading encrypted backups to Amazon Drive/Google Drive/OneDrive, etc; there’s already built-in limits that protect them, and at the end of the day you’re just using what you already paid for. If you fill up your storage you have to pay them more to use it. Not a good strategy IMHO. The only real way to hit their wallet is to leave their ecosystem.
The no internet doesn’t make sense to me. We’ve already paid for the bandwidth, we’d just not be using it? May be better to advise people to switch to Firefox and install uBlock origin or ditch Whatsapp to hit Meta/Facebook where it really hurts. But I guess that’s not as easy to communicate.
if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance

The world would be better off if everyone with racist views disappeared today. Let’s not defend those who would not hesitate to oppress us.
Pathetic! Is this nvidio guy an amateur? i think about work while i SLEEP. i’m easily putting in 140+ hours PER WEEK. is this guy browsing tictac while on the shitter or what? get your numbers up lil bro, someday you’ll make it big. i swear nobody wants to work anymore, bunch of entitled slackers

Right? If anything I think the web is having its renaissance moment with distributed/federated platforms like piefed, lemmy, kbin/mbin, bookwyrm, peertube, mastodon, pixelfed, misskey, matrix, XMPP, Deltachat, nostr, etc.
Why would anyone listen to pedophile don?
The only real answer - same as with any other software/code.
Devil’s advocate:
Mozilla needs a fat paycheck or the whole show stops, we all lose and are forced to use a chrome-based browser. Firefox is the only real alternative and thanks to their work we have, in no particular order:
That doesn’t mean Mozilla hasn’t made bad decisions, they absolutely have. But to claim they should stop receiving nearly half a billion dollars every year from their competitor makes zero sense, especially considering developing a web browser is about as difficult as it gets. You’d be destroying the only alternative and helping Google mop the floor with the pieces that remain.
fuck anything jack dorsey touches.
ahhh I see it now. I was scanning the URL and thought it was the same. didn’t catch the end piece that makes it link out to other platforms. TIL. thanks!
the tidal link? that’s all I can see and it doesn’t play back for me. figured I’m not the only one. maybe I’m missing something?
Ironically staying home may help more than protesting as it denies Trump the ability to declare martial law due to “riots” — AKA peaceful protests turned violent by police. Basically just wait it out until midterms and hope for the best, assuming voting isn’t completely fucked by then and that people have learned from their mistakes and turn out in droves for the opposite of Trump. But you can’t tell people to stay home, they’re angry, rightfully, and want answers and their families back.
I don’t see this getting any better. Anyone have a more optimistic take?
Now imagine if everyone was armed to the teeth and showed up to protest peacefully. I feel like that’s what it would take to make kidnappers think twice about fucking around.
For those of us who don’t have Tidal:
It would be great if conservatives could read
Apologies, my point was not clear enough.
My response was aimed at your first sentence:
This makes it read like the likelihood of a god existing is 50/50. In reality, based on evidence, its much closer to 100% chance there’s no god; 0% chance there is one.
