When developers consider their project at "alpha" stage, users should really be wary of the consequences.

So much hype around this browser and everyone touting it, but then, if something breaks and their profile is messed up, then people lose their mind and start cursing the devs.

tldr; It's an alpha build software, and users should treat it as such. Latest build is Alpha build - 1.0.1-a.17 (2024-10-31)

why bother with the new OS?

So someone's petty little sanctions don't obliterate your business. It's worth having a backup.

A drama with the Russians would probably only last a week, maybe a month?. Add in China, Iran, and most importantly the US, and you would've got few season to watch.

I'm not sure if it would be brilliant and we'd be all over it or if we're so sick of hearing about it that we wouldn't watch it

Too bad, but the rest of the world would love to see it.

API output could just be considered text. So whoever loads this api and loads the video is in violation, and not the api devs. Just a guess.

Everytime someone uses phrases like "Dead internet theory", I assume they're some crab living under a rock with limited real world experiences. And it fits every time.

"US and the rest of the world uses arabic numerals, so all tech derived from the number system (which includes modern computers) must belong to the Arabs."

Are ya gonna sanction game engines too now, that they are actually competing, like a little baby?

Making it a commercial business makes it unethical. Who's to say they won't be exploiting the poor, desperate people and twisting the legality, cross country loopholes to profit?

Do you think diamonds, lithium, rare metals are ethically sourced too, just because the retailer/marketing says so?

Does exploiting people for profits upset you? How many of the "most" need to be unethical to upset you?

Post like these confirm to people saying only the most lunatic fringe, out of touch with reality left reddit during/after the reddit controversy.

Normalise criticizing both the West and China/Russia for their shit.

Don't make it your identity to defend horrible shit, anywhere.

Past or Present

 

The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, officially titled “The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male,” was a study conducted by the United States Public Health Service (PHS) from 1932 to 1972. It involved nearly 600 impoverished African-American in Tuskegee, Alabama, with the aim of observing the effects of untreated syphilis on the human body. The men were not informed about the true nature of the experiment and were deceived by the researchers.

The unethical nature of the study came to light in 1972 when it was exposed by a whistleblower, Peter Buxtun. The study had a lasting impact on public health efforts and contributed to a deep-seated mistrust within the African American community towards medical professionals and government health initiatives.

TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison.

Very weird that I am so old and have literally never heard this mentioned in a TV show or book or movie or anything.

In four out of five states, if you go to prison, you are literally paying for the time you spend there.

As you can guess, this results in crippling debt as soon as you're released.

The county gets back a fraction of what they hold over your head the rest of your life until you commit suicide(or die naturally and peacefully with the sword of damocles hanging over your head).

$20-$80 a day according to Rutgers.

Counties apparently sue people and employ wage garnishment to get back the money that majority of people obviously cannot pay back.
