I'm normally pretty critical of China but this I can get behind.

They need to reform as a non-profit with user membership, an elected board, and fundraising like Wikipedia.

Ar-15s are potentially ok hunting rifles for large birds and small mammals although there are better options out there.

The main argument I've heard for an AR besides the larp thing is that it's easy to find compatible accessories because it's a popular "open source" common platform.

But honestly any hunter who is serious about hunting with .223 probably has a better gun that they hunt with.

I mean we're sitting here on the lemmyverse having a conversation..

But yeah creators should upload to peertube but they won't get any meaningful viewership there. The only way to break the network affect stranglehold google/youtube has over video content on the internet is making sure that if you do produce that content it's available via other channels.

At first it felt like the IDF was speedrunning the war on terror. They had their Abu-graibs on pretty much the first day. Now it's clear that this always was a campaign of hate from the very beginning. Their purpose in Gaza is to terrorize the civilian population.

Nobody was surprised when the Russians immediately started torturing and murdering civilians in Ukraine. But we are shocked that the IDF behave exactly the same way because -- quite frankly -- we were lied to about the nature of the Israeli state.

Altman makes my skin crawl because whenever I see him in an interview he looks like Patrick Bateman practicing empathetic facial expressions in a mirror.

But if that doesn't do it for you, you need to look into worldcoin. It's like as if they watched Minority Report and said "Yeah, let's do that, but with crypto."

Just goes to show the whole of Europe is infiltrated by Russian agents (US too probably).
