That’s what I said basically. US is doing its own digital imperialism. The difference is that the US government outsourced the Orwellian surveillance to techbros.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Just because US is going on temper tantrum it doesn’t mean people have to forget that China is doing its own Orwellian surveillance.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It’s bit of both. I still wouldn’t trust Chinese tech. Huawei tech is involved in surveiling the African Union headquarters.. This not to minimise US’ own corruption and digital imperialism, although I think the EU is in the right step to use open source software to replace American tech.

- Comment on Solid Plan 🧓 1 week ago:
Literally what happened to our grandparents and parents after World War 2. And then the subsequent generation will grow up in abundant wealth, developing a greedy attitude and cause corruption, resulting in social angst which will be exploited by demagogues. Then a new system emerges which promises a better life, but that system breeds yet another spoiled generation that will cause corruption which yet again causes social upheaval that will be exploited by ambitious individuals.
Rinse and repeat.

- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 4 weeks ago:
The majority of Polish kids in my old school are unbelievably good with computers. My friend’s dad is also a self-taught electronic and IT specialist.
Now, I am really curious as to why so many Poles are tech wiz. I know GOG’s DRM-free philosophy is influenced by communism, but I can’t see how communism influenced many Poles to be good with IT as well.
- Comment on Add a third, larger bar for "knowing the right people" skills 4 weeks ago:
90% of the time in interviews is showing enthusiasm, energy, being sycophantic, and most of all-- showing examples of having applied soft skills^1^. The remaining 10% is showing technical know how.
- That being said, here’s a Life Pro Tip: make personal notes of personal achievements at work, or outside examples in your volunteering, school work or social clubs if you are just starting in your career and/or have no previous work experience. It does not have to be dramatic, but let’s say you are a good mentor, help friends and colleagues with tasks to finish the entire job effectively, or saw defects in product and did not pass it despite potential delays, etc. From my experience, most people neglect soft skills. Any organisations are still team-based and human-facing because you work in a team, so it’s good to develop personable and soft skills. And I got flak on Lemmy here before because many users here are introverts (a lot tend to be IT workers), but unless we finally get UBI, even in the sector full of introverts, that’s just the reality and a person has to suck up with interacting with others to get a job.

- Comment on you're doing ReSeArCh rong!! 4 weeks ago:
You question vaccines and yet you probably don’t have any problem asking for antibiotic when you get flu, even though antibiotics don’t work on viruses and only kills the healthy bacteria in your gut. Or, taking painkillers for headaches, even though one of its side effects for constant use is eventual hearing loss.
You question vaccines as if they are all the same, but don’t question other medicinal products that are made in the exact same process as vaccines. And all medicines have some side effects nonetheless. Heck, almost anything you consume has side effects. As another person mentioned, we take medicines and they are approved because the benefits outweigh the risks. They are tested first for crying out loud.

Piracy saves money
Precisely. I don’t see torrenting wrong if you really can’t afford digital streaming or games. Netflix has made piracy less popular when it first came out, but with the proliferation of copy cat rival services, piracy became vogue again.
I prefer not to torrent games unless the game is owned by huge asshole companies like EA or Ubisoft. These big companies could absorb financial losses from torrenting because there are always idiots who will pay for their bog standard games. Small devs should be supported instead (also, small time filmmakers should be supported by paying to see their movies as well).
My friends think I am rich despite circumstances. But no, I just save money by torrenting. I use the money that I don’t buy essentials with, on learning new skills, socialising and developing hobbies. My rule of not buying new games until I clear a portion of my backlog is working on not going on impulse buying that my friends tend to do. A couple of my friends are pretty frivolous and complain when they don’t have savings. A lot of younger folks still think that the environment that allowed boomers to spend money and enjoy their youths, buy a house, get married and then raise a family with couple of kids still applies. Now, we have to sacrifice one over the other and this is what I have been telling people in my generation.
- Comment on Everyone is so close to grasping your unique vision! 1 month ago:
Not really. It’s more about what options are there. Of course, the left argue whether through peaceful or a violent revolution. Personally, I see violence only as the last resort. But even so, we argue what the catalyst should be for an open revolution. While Trump’s ICE kidnappings and brazen violation of constitution, it is clear he is provoking people to give him legal grounds to incite the insurrection act, and consolidate his power.

I don’t make fun of gen alpha for 67, but we have to admit that the meme is a random nonsense. Nyan cat, rage comics and vine clips do have a point which makes them funny, but shouting 67 while doing so without any purpose simply because it’s a meme is inherently pointless. Let the kids have fun with 67 but it is just so random.

Exactly. I hear so many “fails” on school books from across the world. I think a lot of the time school books are not getting reviewed enough before being published, and the author will see of his/her prank fails. Sometimes, there is intentional propaganda being peddled.

Bigger lens is better for wildlife photography and long distance shot. Animals scurry away when you try to get close, so it’s best to take a picture from the distance.
