  • I’d say they found a carve out for crimes done by the rich and powerful is more inclusive of those who avoid prosecution. Diddy can get out in a little over 2 years, OJ got off, all CEOs of major corporations tend to get away with a lot, not just the white guys but former HP ceo and presidential candidate for the US Carly Fiorina, the CEOs of AMD, Nvidia, Google, Microsoft and more are not white guys and you would find it hard not to say what they’ve done isn’t criminal.




  • That by definition is subjective. You name anything that is ok in one society or even one area that is frowned upon in another that is subjective morality. For example as times have gotten harder and harder for younger people economically living with their parents in the Global West has become seen as more and more normal and not treating those adults as basement creatures or something.




  • It happens a lot to guys who are near women who shine and are memorable, Marie Curie’s husband, Pierre Curie, was more than just her husband he helped with the radioactivity research and they both died because of it. That said how many women have been erased in similar situations like that of Rosalind Franklin being Upstaged by Francis Crick. In short Academia needs to be better about recognition and change the incentive structure that makes for some forcing their names into papers they had nothing to do with besides proximity.


  • This is kind of historically wrong, since the Stuart of the cold war France changed constitutions once, and protested multiple times (they’re famous for it), they just didnt turn to communism. I’d say for full scale revolutions, regardless of what the flavor is, the people of the country need to have worstening lives and a hope of actually getting change with actions against the state.




  • It really doesn’t matter as most printer production is made in countries that want to sell to the US if not located there and I have yet to find a government who won’t use any excuse to add state espionage tools they can use and blame on others. The US initially said it was to stop counterfeit currency production, that and the constellation QR type thing that stops printers from replicating the item in question does that, but fingerprinting all printers not only identifies the machine and most likely who used it but also is a great way to force people to start cutting out news papers again if they want to be anonymous in their letters asking for ransoms.





  • Yet again the genocide of first nations peoples/aboriginals is kind of forgotten. All crimes on a massive scale should be remembered by the international community and when one is elevated as the worst I fear that it will incentivise forgetting of the others and potential rascism clash poits.



  • Peertube is a solution, it is an open source peet to peer video hosting platform. But in truth having good competition is a way to force better practices, and if open source is the best option people will go for it if they know about it. linux, thanks to valve and Microslop’s poor idea of what people want (and governments leery of Microsoft and Trump’s close association decoding to have their own OS for internal use at least), have gotten a small influx of users as a whole, but with more users the more open source solutions to compatibility will be produced, and hopefully if you are looking for the YouTube equivalent you’ll try peertube.
