It’s good but holy shit is it censored! Try generating any kind of scene on a beach…

Maybe they should fire some of the administrators instead of cutting research. There are 1.35 administrators per undergrad at Harvard. https://www.thecollegefix.com/at-harvard-there-are-2600-more... Many ”work” in DEI.
Never in history have so many immigrated to the US. Way to go screwing over your own kids.

This is supposed to be his ”manifesto”.

Doesn’t seem to me like he has a superiority complex. He is devastated by his mother’s illness and the actions of United Healthcare.

Trump has at least claimed that he will put a stop to things like this. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xJfUXVOoFBo
Just use the ”following” tab instead of the ”for you” tab, and you get that on X.

What if the blacks and women are actually not as good at their jobs? Blacks on average have a much lower IQ and women on average are much less interested in technology. That would be the simplest explanation. Have you ever met a black female who is interested in programming?
Recently the Steam client stopped working with old Nvidia cards. So now you can’t start your games anymore even though they technically still work because they have to be started via the client. And you can’t go back to an older, working, client.
Re:Ask HN: Why was my last post flagged on Saturday September 28, 2024 @04:51AM (#41678907)
People abuse the flagging functionality by flagging submissions that go against their ideology or prejudice. I think it’s part of the current suppress/censor/ban/deplatform/demonetize/unperson zeitgeist.

I’m just using the same language as the Post on X. American hyper sensitivity to certain words is not universal. The point is that driverless taxi companies will eventually have to face reality outside of the relatively safe areas where they currently opeate.
Re:Twitter/X will let people you've blocked see your posts on Wednesday September 25, 2024 @03:13AM (#41644548)
There seems to be an extreme obsession with blocking, banning, censoring, demonetizing, deplatforming, firing, unbanking, un-personing. And this is from people whose opininions already completely dominate mainstream media and all of public life. This is not healthy.

Blackrock is on the board of both these entities.

Not to mention huge benefits to the environment, reduced pollution, less traffic congestion leading to increased societal efficiency overall. And we can go on and on.

But it’s obvious corps only like to virtue signal about such things while in reality not caring one iota about them.

Re:Starlink Defies Order to Block X in Brazil on Tuesday September 03, 2024 @05:09AM (#41432872)
Pffft. X is by far the most important social network for people and things that matter. So not your vacation photos on Facebook or some influencer posting semi-nude pics on Instagram. It has only gotten better since Musk made moderation neutral, as opposed to the previous absurdly one-sided suppression of anything that deviates even slightly from ultra-left Liberal Silicon Valley ideology.
