Got a text from someone that has been interacting with some folks from Taiwan on an international trip. This was how they described the situation.

They are in their 60’s and grew up in Taiwan and own an apartment in Taipei, returning often, both speak Mandarin. They said the Taiwanese do NOT fear China, that is the opinion of the US government.

“copy image” uses less than 0.01% of the resources used when generating an AI image

The “stealing art” thing is more about AI providing no way to trace back to the original works that were used to train it. It is completely opaque. With art that is copied for a meme, that is not really the case as it is not obfuscated in the same way. Often the art is easily recognized or can be located via a reverse image search.

AI as a tool can be useful, but so far most iterations are entirely in service to capitalist speculation. Burning through resources to generate aesthetic goo to hype up speculation deserves all the scorn that can be heaped upon it.

“The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.”

Not Daddy!?!?

Any info on the Xi photo? Because it is amazing.

This would be like a photo of Netanyahu sitting down to a meal with Gazans if you actually believe all the ‘China is doing a genocide’ propaganda.

cultural Marxism, antifa, communist dictator, wokeism

capital is very inventive when it needs scapegoats

The zionist approved version of the post

those wetlands are such a waste of space, why do we even care about them?

they can stop tanks in their tracks

oh if it is war related then here

anyone have recommendations for good libre events alternatives?

I use Cinnamon. Things might be different with others, but the same concept should apply.

I have OLED tv as my main monitor, and adjusting the settings of the screen allowed me to achieve this using a black image at full screen. The screen looks like it is turned off. I even tested with a dark room. No light comes from the screen. Once you get that set, then using black in UI colors should achieve this if I understand what you are asking.

I’m not familiar with HDR capablity within Linux though, and many newer OLED screens have some of these capabilities. That could be another element to consider depending on your screen capabilities and settings available.

Is it possible the withholding of these files actually has more to do with trying to keep JE’s connection to zionists hidden, a fear of losing the maga crowd if it becomes clear that Israel is a safe space for abusers? That seems like a thread that could unravel the right wing coalition in a hurry if it gets pulled into the public consciousness.

granitic opinion

all my opponents have very solid understanding of history and political economy, and that’s so unfair to me full of propaganda and vibes

Capitalism as we intend it today

why are people pointing out the material reality of capitalism destroying the planet, don’t they know that is just the nature of things? Only idiots use memes to blame systems of oppression for the suffering of billions.
