• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Public in England and Wales wrongly think most killers are minority ethnic⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately, I couldn't find stats on income of criminals.

  This is the best I could find:

  • People who live in more deprived areas are more likely to live in neighbourhoods with higher crime rates.
  • People from minority ethnic groups are more likely than white people to live in neighbourhoods with the highest crime rates.
  • Younger adults are more likely than their older counterparts to live in neighbourhoods with higher crime rates.

  Crime stats

  There's also "Street-level crime and its relationship to deprivation" which confirms the same again in 2026 in London.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Public in England and Wales wrongly think most killers are minority ethnic⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be good to provide more numbers:

  • how many minority groups there are and what percentage of the population they make
  • the percentage of crime attributed to each group
  • the median income and wealth of each group
  • the median income of the convicted felons

  If a 5% minority is committing 35% of the murders, that isn't good. But if the minority is 35% and the white majority is 65%, then in both groups 1% of the group would be committing crimes. Further, if the minorities mostly have a lower income and live in poverty but commit most of the crimes, but the majority of crimes commited by the white majority are also by poor people, then one could argue the problem isn't ethnicity or whatever - it's income.

  I'm willing to be most crimes are committed by those worse off and not helped by society. And I'm also willing to bet it's because society is being bled dry by the ultra-wealthy who leave crumbs behind for the poor to squabble over, and force them into precarity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How com the ad industry make so much money?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ads work. People browse or walk by something, there's a logo, video, or picture or some company or a product, it stays in their head, and they just keep buying shit they don't need. That's why. So the more people browse or happen upon ads, the more they sell (sometimes).

  The wealthy aren't paying their fair share. They pay way less than they should in taxes and keep accumulating wealth and buying up shit, which of course is coming from us. That then increases prices because more normal people need it.

  What "regional lock-in" are you talking about? Isn't all the bluesky tech USAian? Aren't all the technical decisions made in the US? If they decide to introduce some kind of filtering in the code, is the EU side going to copy-paste the code , remove the offending parts, and then host it? I doubt they'll be able to keep that up for long. They are facing millions of dollars across the pond.

  I see, that's understandable. We all have pet-peeves. Mine is the date format in the US that has spread month-day-year. Most of Europe is day-month-year and it's very confusing when people start adopting US formats because they watch so much stuff from the US.
