As Bagehot is quoted saying in the article: "Above all things our royalty is to be reverenced, and if you begin to poke about it you cannot reverence it... Its mystery is its life. We must not let in daylight upon magic".

This makes it evident how this strategy exists to maintain the "magic" and fool the masses. It has no place in a progressive society where being duped with propaganda into believing falsehoods should not be something to look up to.

>There's an objective argument behind this statement that could be made though

Everyone says that about their childhood too :)

Then who is an authority on the topic? Or are you trying to make a common usage argument, in which case you have to somehow demonstrate that's the way people understand it?

you don't interact with those in a small laptopt screen

I think the audience who touches the screen to work AND uses the screen to accurately reproduce colors is basically zero

People seem to be oblivious to the fact that the internet infrastructure has been government controlled since its inception. No cable laid under the sea between two nations can exist without the government approval and without the governments tapping into the link. IP addresses, MAC addresses, domain names, all managed by "super partes" international organizations swore to neutrality and fairness.

Unless you make your own physical network, it's trust all the way down

retroactively?

Can we see all these posts where those questions were asked with those answers?

You did exactly what you are criticizing others for doing

uber for browsing the web

going... away?

>Just as in the Purge movies

I will never understand the reason of mentioning works of fictions to make a real life point

The irony being that ChromeOS is actually Gentoo under the hood

>They do the same for iPhone vs Android

CTRL+F on the page shows that "Android" is only written once (!) and there is no logo or anything. It's as generic and indirect as it can be.

>And many years ago they had a huge Mac vs Windows campaign!

Exactly, many years ago, and then they stopped, which makes this unusual by definition

strange

adjective

ˈstrānj

stranger; strangest

a : different from what is usual, ordinary, or expected : odd

Does anyonwle think this is so strange coming from Apple? Calling out a specific product by name like that?

Why? I can serve it from my computer

WebDAV does not sync everything. With the amount of stuff faculty is syncing we would hit the storage limits with metadata alone

It is not supported natively (you can use a webdav server but it doesn't sync everything) and the third party options don't have the level of stability I'd need

What I dislike about Zotero is that it's a pain in the ass to self host. In my department I could spin up a local Zotero server for our PhD students and give them basically unlimited sync, but it's really finnicky

Captioning? If the company used novel techniques you contributed to the surveillance state, you're welcome

A normal conspiratorial comment about the cure for cancer being kept secret would have been downvoted into oblivion, but sprinkle in some spooky AI stuff and suddenly it's fine

Does it matter if those 100 tokens per second are way crappier?

This website is pure slop. I'd ask @dang to just link the original repo

For the uninitiated, what are/were the strong points of this frontend wrt the others? Why would anyone use it?

The incredible and futuristic technologies the US managed to deploy decades before the competition reminds me of the story of how the NRO gifted NASA a couple of their old decommissioned satellites in 2012 and they turned out to be basically upgraded Hubble telescopes pointed at earth. The US from the 90s to the 2000s had multiple Hubble-level telescopes just for spying while NASA was fighting for scraps to study the entire cosmos.

These explainer videos are garbage, whether done by humans or not. Just like those crappy Netflix "documentaries". Don't get me wrong, it's impressive, but it's just a more automated way of outputting low effort, low quality content

Yes, because there are plenty of situations where it's morally and legally acceptable to film someone without their consent

>Filming without permission is no different than harassing or bullying.

Since you used the most generic language possible, I guess me filming my nephew blowing on the cadles at his 8th birthday is harrassing and bullying and I should expect a punch in the face

Care to provide some proof they have? All I have read and seen points to them simply being Meta employees
