the twat in the hat.

i think corgana meant zero people who reply with meaningless comments just for the sake of replying, like those tiresome one-line joke threads that choke up every big subteddit.

“Moon of Alabama” is completely divorced from reality. CIA bio weapons labs in Ukraine, complete vehement denial of Russian invasion plans until it happened, then an instant switch to it being a glorious liberation, denial of Russian war crimes and ethnic cleansing, denial of Assad’s war crimes… a textbook firehose of falsehoods.

if you want the most demented conspiracy theories, sure

you mean a computing pool, like SETI@home since the late 90s?

absolutely no need to make this idea stink of a crypto scam.

It’s not more precise, it becomes inaccurate.

A man says he’s 6’6". Sure. If he’s anywhere between 6’5½" and 6’6½", that’s true.

You say he’s 198.12cm tall. The range of this being true is now thinner than a needle. It has gone far beyond what anyone actually measures. In over 99% of cases, it’s not true, and if it is, it won’t be for long, because the human body isn’t nearly that consistent from breath to breath.

The conversion with spurious false precision has made the number go from true to not true.

The man is six foot six, yes, true. The man is 198.12cm - no he isn’t.

so many researchers toasting their bagels and yet never using your dedicated bagel button will wear you down.

When the original value is only precise to plus or minus half an inch, it makes no sense whatsoever to do a conversion that’s a hundred times more precise.

nobody is measuring people to a tenth of a millimeter.

No, that’s not why.

One can reasonably assume they studied the communications for a few weeks to figure out who’s who, and then sent the detonate code to a certain list of pager numbers.

does it still stand? are Hamas using the same supply chain of altered pagers?

signs point to no.

real users just inspect the blinkenlights array.

Ah, good old “two different things can’t both be true!” deflection.

They absolutely knew. There’s a note about them googling “time in Moscow” when their contact wasn’t replying, to see when they’d wake up and come back to work.

because I live here, you drooling idiot

no they don’t, they just want to be left alone.

the only reason the old constitution hasn’t been amended is because China regularly threatens to start a full scale war if there’s any amendment to reflect the current reality, they would call it a “declaration of independence”.

there are several orders of magnitude difference between text-forums with almost all multimedia content hosted externally, and hosting/streaming video.

a big Lemmy instance is a manageable cost for a few well-paid people to run out of their own disposable income.

anything even vaguely approaching YouTube is not.

by analogy with goose,

ceech

i read it as - the Premium money is mostly going to YouTube HQ, instead of to video makers.
