I don’t care if you know my raw specs if I’m telling you how a game runs in a public forum

It may not be harmful by itself, but combined with other information it can definitely help identify you to your account. It could easily be the final piece of information that enabled you to be doxxed.

Loss of privacy is cumulative, like radiation.

there were thin (~2mm) sticker-type Bluetooth tags […] No battery, just a passive coil that could be found with Bluetooth signal and an app that shows how close it is.

Sounds kind of like UHF RFID, which are common in places like warehouses and can be done at a distance, but even higher frequency?

I imagine range was a huge issue. Unless you have an extremely powerful bluetooth tranceiver and a very high gain antenna (i.e. not a phone, a professional radio system), the inverse square law will mean you won’t have enough energy to activate the electronics in the tag after a fairly short distance. Would probably work for finding something in your house though.

The core philosophy of how the country was founded is the same: impose a certain culture and way of life on peoples who wanted nothing to do with you, kick them off the land they’ve lived on for generations and move your own people there. And it’s not like we didn’t commit our own genocide, why are there so few Indigenous people nowadays? Canada is one of the oldest colonial countries so most of the truly ugly stuff happened long before you or I were born (still, not that long ago), but it is still something Indigenous people are struggling with. Obviously Israel is worse in the present day, obviously Canadians are more apologetic about it, obviously the average Canadian now is not playing nearly as active a role in the colonialism (again, due to most of the ugly stuff happening some time ago) and Canada is not currently committing something as bad as a genocide, but if you look at histories of countries as a whole it’s pretty similar. Also, I was referring to specifially the government of Canada criticizing Israel, because it gives them an excuse not to change how Canada is governed, which in case you haven’t noticed is also screwing over non Indigenous Canadians and is absolutely not working for anyone but the rich.

Also to the liberals pearl clutching about “but we need democracy!” not realizing that’s what that quote means.

The proletariat is, pretty much by definition, the VAST majority of the people in a society, by far the largest group. The commoners like you and me, working in order to make a living.

Dictatorship can mean what you think it means in that context. Ruling a country by the will of some dictator.

If the proletariat is the dictator, it means ruling a country by the will of the vast majority of the people. That’s what democracy is. We can further discuss implementations of it and how well they work (hint: Western democracy works very poorly and is very undemocratic in practice, as you’ve definitely experienced), but the general concept described by “dictatorship of the proletariat” is democracy.

AKA communism?

Unlike C++ though, explosives usually degrade over time and become less dangerous.

OpenAI: “They stole our technology!”

Also OpenAI: “Uh, well, our technology is actually inferior to theirs, but they must have stole it and made massive sweeping improvements to it that we weren’t able to! How dare they!”

The Canadian government will never, ever condemn or even criticize Israel because once they do, it opens up inconvenient questions on the history and present actions of Canada itself, including whether Canada should even exist, because Canada is built on the same settler colonial foundations as Israel.

Israel must be the good guys over the savage and extremist Palestinians because as long as they’re the good guys, it follows that Canada must be the good guys over the savage and uncivilized Indigenous people here as well, and hey, we’ve even mostly stopped doing what Israel is doing to “our” Indigenous people so we must be even better!

Now watch as they ignore it and find some other loophole to do the exact same thing they’re already doing.

It’s not terrorism? Then it’s antisemitism (the people displaying thinly veiled Nazi dog whistles like the WWI German flag are definitely, absolutely not antisemitic though). It’s not antisemitism? Then it’s generic hate speech. It’s not hate speech at all? Then it’s a national security threat. It’s not a national security threat? Then it’s heresy against the Judaeo-Christian God to promote Islam in Europe.

Possibly true, but when you do get run over, it will be significantly harder to get your American medical treatment compensated if a company’s bot did it instead of a human.

But in an ideal world neither the bot nor human would have been driving a car in the first place, and the vehicle the bot would be driving is on tracks that are grade separated (and have platform gates), making it almost impossible to run someone over.

Jesus is definitely watching Cuba and Venezuela, countries that are more Christian than America ever was

Same. Any word on whether something like programming has a similar effect?

Does this happen in reverse too? Where a unitist country becomes way too in the other direction which leads to a backlash?

It certainly can, but it has never happened so far, because interspecies cooperation is so beneficial to everyone that once animals get used to it the case to throw it all away is pretty weak. There are instances of neutral territories being overthrown by Trophists though.

So in practice what does this look like? How about for animals which live in polar opposite climates?

Even animals in polar opposite climates can generally do fine with short periods of time outside, with some thick clothing or evaporative cooling (spraying water on your fur and letting it evaporate). They would probably prefer a remote job that lets them stay home most of the time, and cities are designed such that they rarely have to walk very far to do their errands. But just as humans who choose to live in challenging environments, if you really want to live somewhere you can make it work.

Also, how do land animals travel to different territories in this world?

They have well developed public transit networks based on hovercrafts that connect different Unitist regions, scaling from Air Rapid Transit around a city, to inter-city, to inter-territory, to inter-continent. You can also pretty seamlessly transfer between long and short distance hovercraft networks, so you can basically fly to any destination with a few connections, often for free.

I’m on Fennec F-Droid which already had it for a while. From my initial experience, this is less ergonomic because I now have to stretch my thumb across the screen to get to some of the options, whereas the old menu kept all the options closer to the right side of the screen where I could more easily reach one handed without shifting my hand.

Wym? You mean you don’t like typing out unsigned long long a hundred times?
