Tl;dr - fediverse probably won’t do too much, and it does have discoverability issues, along with migration issues

huh, there’s a whole instance just for the Ascendance of a Bookworm anime/manga

Oh god that really puts the brutal in it. That just sounds terrible

That is a good picture, too

Edit: awwwww all the posts are bots…

Bruh 🤣

Renewable biomass: burning forests before you turn them to coal

It looked like it was a combination with that and the chemical they washed it with. Also, for this particular product, it isn’t healthy to use the sulfur treatment, it seems. The producers said something to the effect of, “we know this will cause problems for people, but the fruit is prettier and we get better prices for them”.

The news company said that they tested them as well and found them to be toxic.

No, as an American, you are only permitted to talk about events within the boarder of the land that you are in. For this reason, Americans are recommended to get summaries of recent events in any country they plan an extended stay in. Failure to comply can result in imprisonment, or event death.

If you asked me to pick a state for that, Oregon would not have been it

While they likely do have the capability of doing that eventually, there are only two places in the world that have the capability of doing the super small nm scale chips: Netherlands and Taiwan. These machines are insanely complicated and precise. I wouldn’t be surprised if China was a decade or more away from doing it themselves. I could be wrong, but this scale of chips is an entirely different monster.

Now, they could be closer, but this particular job isn’t that simple.

a bit late, eh?

I think a movie should open with a quote from ChatGPT

“Prepare for a laugh-out-loud adventure! This film delivers more twists than a pretzel factory on a rollercoaster!” - ChatGPT

“Get ready to laugh until your sides hurt! It’s like a comedy buffet—everyone leaves full and slightly confused!” - Also ChatGPT

“It was fine” - Bob

I just read the 25 pages and they used a lot of hard data from China’s own databases, though the data is very limited access and particularly opaque even when compared to other regions according to the report, and it looks pretty compelling.

Edit: I’ll add that I’m changing my mind about it. I used to believe it, then I started to distrust it, but now I guess I’m coming back to it. What’s pretty wild is I’ve watched videos of people going to Xinjiang and it looks totally normal. Mosques everywhere, arabic text, people smiling, etc. Then on top of that it’s pretty clear that western capital wants to reduce China’s gains, so of course we’re happy at these reports.

But the quickest way to clear it up would be for China to let the UN come and look and interview people, but they aren’t. I do recognize that UN investigations tend to come with US spies, but I don’t really see what’s over there to hide, anyway.

I agree, I didn’t get the impression they were trying to make a point with it, but rather that the story was trying to create a believable environment. I think the author and directors did a good job of presenting that world.

Earth struggles with unemployment, Mars had to be incredibly disciplined and rigid due to the harsh environment and focused on a strong military -very Spartan in a way, and then the belters as the exploited resource providers.

I found it to be a compellingly made world and the way shit absolutely hits the fan when the blue grenade goes off in the room, so to speak. It was a great watch!

In a sense, but I doubt there is the same level of tracking. Lemmy doesn’t (as far as I assume) track how long you spend on a page, what you click on, how long you stay, etc. That’s a pretty big difference compared to just what you posted or commented.

What a bunch of snowflakes. I like the idea. This was my first thought though

Capital demands growth. It doesn’t care how you do it. It doesn’t track or reward whether you did it by making the world better or by creating death squads and working with the CIA to kill thousands of people and overthrow a government that wanted to charge you taxes and limit the amount of land you could have.

It’s been this way, and worse, for a long time. But bear in mind that Twitter gave us the ability to see how billionaires think. Modern media made them more accessible. They didn’t change, our knowledge of them did.

Now I’m looking for the series, nice post!
