Mostly because Apple’s update policy is superior to A LOT of Android companies. OEMs are really slow when patching known vulnerabilities.

Quick study I found when trying to find evidence:

https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/16-Acar-A-Device-Centric-Analysis-of-Android-Security-Updates.pdf

Example from that study:

Compared to the top three OEMs we examined so far, Google is the one with the most stable support behavior. All of the Pixel devices receive monthly security updates without any delay or missed SPLs [Security Patch Levels]

It’s utterly insane this is noteworthy. Not delaying security updates for KNOWN vulnerabilities should not be exemplary.

It’s literally free fame.

Would you have ever heard of this local African politician if he didn’t have this name?

Yeah, I don’t mind it too much. Especially because tax evasion is a far bigger harm to social welfare systems.

As long as he actually needed that money and wasn’t some already well-off fucker that wanted to hoard even more money that is.

Yeah no, that’s not how a pension system can be sustainable.

Some people must get less than they paid so that others don’t have to starve to death because they live to the age of 100.

And that’s honestly OK. The same way someone who never gets sick in their life has to pay for all the chronically ill.

You misunderstand, the project aims to have them eradicated by 2050, not starting to eradicate them in 2050. The project isn’t called Predator Free 2050 for no reason.

limits the harm

Harm reduction isn’t really sufficient when every single feral cat kills presumably hundreds of criticially endangered birds per year, is it?

I really like bash when dealing with even somewhat advanced scripting. Like the 300 LOC scraper I have written over the past two days which horribly parses HTML files using grep | sed.

It’s genuinely so much more fun to do this with Bash than, say, Python. I have once written a scraper using Beautifulsoup and I have no desire to do so ever again.

Honestly, only Haskell manages to beat Bash in how satisfying it feels when you manage to get something working well.

Gambling addictions have very high suicide ideation and suicide attempt rates. The exact numbers seem ti vary from study to study but I haven’t found any with percentages below double digits.

Gambling addictions are not uncommon either, with 1-3% of the general population being affected [Wikipedia]. Risk factors include starting young and online gambling by the way. Guess who encourages both?

If I had to guess, thousands of people have committed suicide at least partially due to Valve. “Partially” because case gambling could’ve been the entry into other forms of gambling that cemented gambling addictions.

Disagree slightly, human created content can have intent but doesn’t automatically have it.

A corporate ad does not have any artistic merit besides grabbing as much attention as possible. Actually creative ads where some thought was put in are the very rare exception.

The same goes with a lot of pop music today. I cannot speak too much about English language pop but German pop is nothing more than fast food. See the Wikipedia article of Menschen Leben Tanzen Welt.

Or take a look at video games. How much artistic effort is put into AAA games? Maybe someone spent 40 hours making the lootboxes as satisfying as possible to open but that’s probably where the most thought was put in.

And movies? Aren’t Disney’s recent “live remakes” of their old, successful animated movies anything but CGI slop? Sure, I admit it takes a lot of effort to make and animate all these models. Just like it takes effort to shit when you’re constipated.

Honestly, the only thing distinguishing AI from megacorp content is that the latter has more consistency and fewer “mistakes” than the former. The sole intent of both is making money.

Ah, thanks. Searching for “national DPA” just yielded some “National Data Privacy Agreement” or - when adding the term “journalism” - the German press agency DPA.

That’s your article. I was talking about the articles OP linked which do not contain this phrase anywhere.

I’m not about to discuss an article that is completely irrelevant for OP’s point.

China’s emissions have peaked and are going down now. Way before the promised 2035 deadline from your post.

The 2035 deadline is not for the emission peak. It’s for the 7 - 10% emission reduction from the current peak. The difference between 7% and 30% is very much significant.

Plus how has information changed?? The article linked is from 5 days ago. Nowhere is the period from 2020 to 2025 mentioned, neither in this comment nor in the article.

Are you an LLM? Because your reading comprehension sure is no different than one.

Have you read the comment you are responding to?

Nowhere does it state China keeps increasing CO2 emissions. It states China’s own target goals are insufficient.

This is an AI bot. Please report them.

You can tell because there are a lot of instances of “X and Y”:

• GDPR and ePrivacy
• private companies and state actors
• dangerous and morally obscene [who talks like this?]
• big tech and ad firms
• regulators and courts
• industry capture and political cowardice
• national DPAs [what even is that?] and journalists

The message is solid though.

To be fair, socialist countries thus far have been mostly utilitarian when dealing with people.

If 10% of gay people commit suicide but 20% reproduce then the policy is a success. Lifes are just resources that can be spent for the “collective’s” (read: state’s) benefit.

Your description made me read it like “pooned” at first.

Do you need any grounds for appeal?

Couldn’t they just appeal regardless and e.g. argue the judge didn’t take this (in their view) mitigating factor sufficiently into account for sentencing?

Torrenting for commercial use is probably worse, legally speaking.

It’s in the AUR.

Me too. I’ll even make them full AI.
