- Comment on Why Does This Industry Get Special Privileges? 5 days ago:
wow, some seriously askew assumptions there. dont let the .ml pre-bias you.
as I said in a different thread on this post
the video offers a completely biased and simplified view of societal interaction with large producers when a multitude of options are not only available, but needed.
concentration of wealth is built into any “free-market” system. you are not going to get around that with some magical libertarian talking point. picking a slightly less toxic mix of the poison by mixing govt regulation to promote market dynamism is an imperfect solution but, in my mind, preferential to the libertarian fuckery at the end of this video.
corruption in any system is still corruption. larger regulation is a way to forestall the worst of the “free market” bullshit. it is up to us to ensure that our representatives choose reasonable solutions, because the free market sure as fuck wont do it.

yup. watched it through to the end just to be sure. instant hard downvote for the free-market bullshit dressed up as everyman populism.

kudos on poking at the app privacy statement. the real interest in this is going to be running it locally on your own server backend.
so, yeah - as usual, apps bad, bad, bad. but the backend is what really matters.

I was oddly surprised at how I connected with this article. a useful read in a defining epoch.
- Comment on The Antiquity to Alt-Right Pipeline 6 months ago:
someone genuinely interested for intellectual reasons would likely not fall for it. I would imagine that a non-trivial percentage of “antiquity enjoyers” are very light on history substance and heavy on history feelz.
once the appropriate brain tickles have been pushed into their heads their “history substance” feed content becomes decidedly propagandized.

- Comment on How do trees know? 8 months ago:
as, for example an elm or maple? a random mutation may have provided a small spur to a seed. the spur changed the trajectory of the falling seed and may have allowed it to fall further from the parent plant and into a more ideal growing environment for simply further afield, which would allow it to slightly out-complete others.
if this change proved sucessful over time, then the mutation would likely get more pronounced as long as it continued to improve the plants fitness for its environment. 100,000 years later you have seeds with glide wings.
