Good. Electric cars are a completely unsustainable scam. It’s absurd that people are being subsidized for their privileged and wasteful lifestyles. It’s gross and it’s completely unfair to people who actually want to reverse the climate catastrophe.

End car dependency, rebuild sustainable infrastructure, and give people credits for light EVs instead. For every electric car we could build like 1000 electric bikes. I could get a super nice e-bike for $7500.

Ban cars.

TBH I feel like many IT people are employed because they’re “microsoft certified”, not because they know anything about linux. This kind of gatekeeping is a big part of why windows is so entrenched.

Agreed. People wouldn’t be able to shoot themselves if their hands are constantly masturbating. It’s kept me alive this far.

This is why we gotta ban TikTok!!! \s

They most likely changed the headline because the original headline was so bad.

If people are still seeing old headline, it’s probably cached. Try a hard refresh or a different browser or a private browser, etc.

The orange dude is running for president of USA.

The headline is dishonest propaganda. You gotta read down in the article to find the hidden reality.

Phony headline: China’s TikTok “more dangerous” in terms of spreading Russian disinformation than the Russia-founded messaging app Telegram, Ukrainian expert says…

Reasonable person in the article: “But the problem extends beyond Telegram — fake news is widespread on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads,” she added. “The danger is focusing too narrowly on one platform while Russian propaganda continues to thrive across the entire digital landscape.”

This is an extremely misleading headline.

From the abstract:

… applying the L-Mul operation in tensor processing hardware can potentially reduce 95% energy cost by element-wise floating point tensor multiplications and 80% energy cost of dot products.

In other words… This method of computation could save 95% of the energy spent on floating point multiplication (and save 80% on dot products)… Not 95% of total energy.

It’s an improvement (potentially), but I don’t see any analysis of how this would impact total energy.

Cool anecdote. Lets have the state clamp down on free speech and ban popular apps because of it.

The pseudo-science is too damn high.

There’s no conclusive evidence that “social media” is bad for kids, much less TikTok specifically or only.

TBH the news that I get from social media is usually first-hand accounts and footage. It’s far superior to the extremely filtered and propagandized disinformation coming from capitalist media outlets.

I think any child could recognize the difference and that’s why media outlets want to ban the competition. This won’t make kids happier.

Yay for china banning stuff! \s

We’re not talking about social media. We’re talking about TikTok. Huge difference. People don’t complain about IG because it’s heavily censored by zios/imperialists.

I can tell this is fake news just from the headline and photo.

Everybody knows that Jabba (not Darth!) put Hans in carbonite.

propagandists feel the need to create such a flimsy, self-congratulatory lie so that mainland citizens might feel something resembling pride about their crumbling dictatorship.

Are you talking about china or usa?

It’s wasn’t “explosions”. It was a terrorist attack.

And yes, the USA was closely involved.

It’s hard to take the imperial news seriously.

Pretty sure there’s only one terrorist organization that’s used batteries as weapons…

This just political theater and domestic handouts. It will increase clothing prices for workings while doing nothing to alleviate their exploitation.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

There is no such thing as “our classical architecture”. Who is we? Where are you actually from? Italy, Greece, Sweden, Iceland?

Europe is a large and varied “continent” (not even). Architecture comes from all over the world including the middle east, africa, and beyond. These phony constructs like “european classical architecture” are just white supremacy with another name.

TBH the underlying problem is “classics” itself. It’s an extremely subjective eurocentric construct that’s inherently racist. It elevates slavers, imperialists, and colonizers. It’s no surprise when white supremacists adopt ideologies that validate their viewpoint.

We can’t fight this with more “classicism”.
