  Thanks for being the first person to actually explain that rather than just downvoting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s basic SEO slop logic applied to video.

  All the popular topics are already crowded, so you shotgun very specific search terms.

  For instance, if you have a web shop selling fish equipment, “how to keep fish” is probably extremely crowded, so you would target a bunch of specific search terms like “how to teach crabs to read classical Latin”

  That was literally the first time I’ve heard of him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨White House joins Bluesky and immediately trolls Trump opponents⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  all the Republican party stands for anymore is triggering others

  That’s just an extension of how American politicians in general always focus on wedge issues, rather than improving material conditions for the working class.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨White House joins Bluesky and immediately trolls Trump opponents⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Truth social is (or was) based on mastodon, with the federation code removed.

  To be fair that sounds exactly like something an organic redditor would say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are these ICE agents allowed to fire on protestors like this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Persecutors have the monopoly on getting people charged with crimes.

  I had to look this up and I’m surprised that in most states private prosecution is barred. In the UK it’s still legal, if expensive and uncommon.

  All new housing should be built as high above sea level as possible, instead we are building in flood plains.

  It could just be providing hardware I suppose.

  However three lefts do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here's what would happen if the UK abolished landlords overnight⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When did the big issue become Maoist? 😆

  Not that I’m complaining, it’s certainly an improvement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK: If it looks, sounds and behaves like an enemy, why are we calling China a ‘challenge’? -- [Opinion]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are plenty of political figures saying we should call China the enemy, very few that openly say we should call the USA an enemy.

  That’s not my point though, because you could also say it about other countries (Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc), the fact is dealing with countries that do things we consider shitty is a basic part of geopolitics, unless you want to start a war on twelve fronts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK: If it looks, sounds and behaves like an enemy, why are we calling China a ‘challenge’? -- [Opinion]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everything they say about China could also be said about the USA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It states the code and files will be CC-NC licensed, which isn’t open source.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  legally

  Therein lies the other issue, unless the creator has millions of dollars to fund lawsuits, if a large company or Chinese company decides to clone it he can do nothing. The only people who will respect the license are individuals and small businesses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also means that a robust community of people creating businesses to sell variations of the hardware for those who aren’t as maker friendly cannot emerge, correct?

  Correct, that’s exactly the problem with NC licenses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Despite the clickbait headline this isn’t open source

  Open Printer will use the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0 license

  The NC license isn’t open source, it violates point six of the OSD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such??⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is one of the reasons Gnosticism exists. In the gnostic interpretation the God of the old testament was the demiurge, while the snake (which may actually be an eagle, translation is hard) is identified with God or Jesus.

  That’s literally how you do review studies.

  obviously publication bias exists, a study that shows nothing (good or bad) happening when a drug is used is less likely to get published, but that’s a broad problem.
