Goal is not surveillance tooling, it’s autonomous weapons

It’s a cold war nobody dares talking about, because they’re aware the technology they’re developing to enact a new status quo will make consumer grade equipment more than capable of killing and thus have created a heightened risk of lone wolf and small terror cell attacks. Which is going to be their argument for needing to track everything online, it’s a multilayered shit sandwich

Samsung does too, the aim is office workers in European + USA, which gets a new phone sponsored every few years

I can impersonate a pretty good Indian accent, it’s not super culturally accepted to walk around telling people they’ve called Microsoft customer service

Different brands still carry a large difference in smell, the only reason I can’t give a name is because I don’t drink a ton.

I know people able to tell when someone in the room are on their periods, bloodhounds are insanity smellers

Can’t everyone burp on command?

I feel like farting on command is the rare trait

The recent attack in Sweden, was small supermarket stores - Which doesn’t have the resources/knowledge to fix their issue. Given ICA is a franchise model, the main IP holder should however extend this knowledge to all of their franchise takers imo

I know several Danish municipalities centrally control radiator thermostats in their buildings. Schools are gonna have a wild ride this winter

You’re sure it’s not Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire?

I don’t think things will improve until they have got worse still.

Shit won’t improve before people kill oligarchs. We’ve not seen a peasant correction in Europe since the French revolution.

It creates a single point of failure, which is one of the key reasons for why darkweb/tor arrests tends to happen in waves. As the law enforcement agencies, tends to get a treasure trove of data whenever they hit and loot the main server of a marketplace

Well, all of our politicians are and that’s the problem

Exoskeletons are starting to become a serious tool for certain jobs, mostly ones centered around lifting, that’s also a part of the broader transhumanism.

Using a technology to alter a human, in the above case to be able to lift more without injuring themselves, to become superhuman in one aspect

Nuclear is still the most expensive power source, while wind turbines are one of the cheapest per MWH produced.

Half a decade ago I was fully pro nuclear, but battery technology have developed to a point we’re almost capable of using it as a base loader; There’s an added power grid capacity requirement for battery farm baseloading, but there’s ideas of how to solve this. By having batteries sitting locally at the largest power generating sites, with a switch to determine whether batteries should be filled or power should be pushed to the grid

It’s why people talk about small scale agriculture and permacultures.

Not sure small scale farming really solves that, but one reason for perms cultures and agroforestry is they’re more resilient and require less water to produce the same quantity of food.

Agro forestry is a concept which is getting way too little focus, considering the risk of large scale draughts becoming more common

What are you talking about? The DPR requested Russian military assistance. If the DPR was legitimate and had the right to defend itself, then Russia sending troops in at their request was legitimate.

That has nothing to do with the full scale war. They’re two different conflicts.

I don’t believe countries have an inherent right to defend themselves, and if I did then I would say that the DPR had the same right.

It’s not the Donbas war I’m questioning, there’s a reasoning chain that’s understandable. Both geopolitically, strategically and culturally.

It’s the full scale invasion of 2022 I’m questioning. There’s no chain of thought leading to that invasion, other than greed and lust for blood by Putin and his inner circles. The nationalists were not in power by the time they began their invasion. They had already gained control of the region, Donbas, that wanted to be Russian.

There’s just no way to argue the full scale invasion should ever have started.

Somehow, the extreme anti-war stance of not supporting even “defensive” wars makes me a bloodthirsty warmonger

Your endgame argument is national states shouldn’t exist, but today they do. As long as they do exist, national governments should be able to defend against other nations attempt to gain control over them. Because if we do assume, at one point we get a global government and abolish the national states. Then it’s whoever carries the most power (that’s war machines), that’ll be able to decide the values of such a government. And by extend shape the culture that’ll impact everyone.

So that was a lot of words to say nothing.

Do you think Russia is in a right to invade Ukraine?

It’s the most clear cut conflict in the world at the moment, anyone supporting Putin’s aggression has lost themselves to propaganda. Ukraine unfortunately didn’t get enough support early on, this conflict could had cost half the lives lost to date.

It’s miles apart to be against an aggressive occupational force with no clear goals, and not support a country’s right to defend itself.

Nah, far from everyone wants to be a trillionaire, nor a billionaire. Sure most would want financial independence, but not a lot more than that
