- Comment on Hey Apple, I have this great idea for a next spot where we burn a pile of books. Call me. 10 hours ago:
They could have made a more caring ad…
An old guitarr being played and recorded, the microphone is connected to a bright white cable going off screen.
An old camera lens mounted on a new camera body taking pictures of different subjects, a bright white cable is connected to the camera and goes off screen.
A few old tubes of paint are squeezed out onto a class painter’s palette, a bright white cable goes from the palette off screen.
An old arcade cabinett being played and enjoyed, the camera zooms out through the arcade and a bright white cable from the cabinett goes offscreen.
An old typewriter being typed on, with a bright white cable going from it offscreen.
An old cash register in an old general store, bright white cable goes from the register off screen.
An old film projector playing in an old cinema, bright white cable goes from the projector off screen.
A DJ playing an analog turntable, bright white cable goes from the turntable off screen.
A nurse in a retirenment home reads a binder of medical data, bright white cable from the binder goes off screen
It keeps going like that, and at the end you see all the white cables connected to a hydraulic press that starts opening, revealing the iPad Pro, showing scenes from every clip we saw before.

- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 2 weeks ago:
That is just so nebulous that you could almost do anything.
I am a hobby phographer, and I consider my photos mere existance as making the world a sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiightly better place.
I won’t pretend that I am amazing at photography, but some fantastic pictures would not exist without me, there would absolutely be almost identical photos in existance, but not mine.
I like driving, so I guess I could be a driver for road trips in Europe, not in a bus, but in an estate car, artisenal road trips as you say, that would provide more good to the world than me just going to road trips alone and keeping most photos to myself.
Where is the threshhold for what is considered good to get the money?

- Comment on Elizabeth Warren slammed for wanting to ‘break up Apple’s smartphone monopoly’ 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t know Apple was a monopoly…
They are absolute dicks with iMessage, but they are not a monopoly.
I am an iPhone user, and I don’t get why people look down on the green bubbles, I have several friends with Android phones, we can all send images and texts to eachother, sure the photos are reduced in size, but it’s fine.
Just implement the new message standard, Apple and stop being dicks
- Comment on NSA ’just days from taking over the internet’ warns Edward Snowden 3 weeks ago:
Judgement Day has already happened, I see it as the day when we created AI tools that could create photorealistic images based on a simple text prompt, it happened when we created AI tools that could not only talk like a human, but a very specific human, and fake it’s voice.
Judgement Day was never about a conflict between man and machine, it is about sowing distrust and breaking up friends and family, the tools to call your mom or dad and use your own voice to scam them exists now, the tools to send your mom and dad any kind of photo of you for verification exists today.
Judgement has allready been passed down, another agency messing about with AI now is not the catalyst.
- Comment on NSA ’just days from taking over the internet’ warns Edward Snowden 3 weeks ago:
Exactly, the NSA has shown that it has very few rules it will not break. So why would this specific rule be one of the very few stopping the agency?
- Comment on NSA ’just days from taking over the internet’ warns Edward Snowden 3 weeks ago:
If the NSA is just days away from taking over the internet, then I wonder what is holding them back from doing it now…

Sure women’s anatomy is slightly different, but there are other ways to desl with that other than to just give them one tiny crotch strap.

That is absolutely degrading, why is it impossible to give women similar kinds of shorts as men gets?

- Comment on 1000 years from now physics is forgotten and all that remains is the legend of two hobbits, Charm and Spin, and their quest for the Higgyboson. At this point, is physics true? 4 weeks ago:
-
Physics is a fact. Belief in it is irrelevent.
-
Hobbit is a name for a fictional creature, there is nothing to prevent reuse of the name for some real creature of the next 1000 years.

Why only play listed games?
What is stopping you from setting up your own server and playing UT2004?
- Comment on Unreal Tournament 2004 20 Years Later: An LGR Retrospective 4 weeks ago:
UT2004 is peak UT, UT3 was just a brown mess, and the latest UT never got out of Alpha before Epic shelved it infavour of Fortnite
- Comment on Unreal Tournament 2004 20 Years Later: An LGR Retrospective 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on Building bombings and 14-year-old hitmen: Organized crime overwhelms Sweden 5 weeks ago:
As an initial concept, it is resonable to help people get the care they need even if they don’t speak the language, but after 5 years of working to live here you should be expected to be able to communicate without an interpreter, even if it is not fluent.
- Comment on Building bombings and 14-year-old hitmen: Organized crime overwhelms Sweden 5 weeks ago:
This tracks with what I have heard about it, and also tracks with my expectations of the Swedish government in cases like these, they dumb it down to the lowest possible standard to get good stats on the usage and success rate of it.
- Comment on Building bombings and 14-year-old hitmen: Organized crime overwhelms Sweden 5 weeks ago:
Yep, feels like someone who just searched for Swedish Empire and sent the link without checking the context…
- Comment on Building bombings and 14-year-old hitmen: Organized crime overwhelms Sweden 5 weeks ago:
Deportations, as in after commiting a crime, should be on the table instantly for violent crimes commited by migrants.
Note that I am not talking about general deportations of normal, well adjusted migrants, but migrants commiting violent crimes.
As for language and culture classes, we allready offer them for free to all migrants, Svenska För Invandrare, it is however critisized for only offering low quallity classes, which is a big problem that needs to be adressed.
