Surprised how nobody mentioned “Everytime We Touch” by Cascada

Not OP, but the tools provided by my OEM of choice are already really good, so it’s something I’m glad exists but isn’t useful to me.
Reminds me of Rensenware.
It very much is still a problem. It’s unrealistic to expect the majority of YT users to use a tool like SponsorBlock.
Why would Apple make a tool for Xiaomi phones?
They killed the first guy through years of abuse, not by directly killing him.
If the amount of money was small and finite, one person could hoard most of the entire supply of money, and because the rest of society can’t use their currency as easily to trade, there’s less value in the utility of it. The entire purpose of cash is that it’s a universal store of value so that you don’t have to trade goods for goods and instead trade cash for goods. Nobody would use cash if they can’t ever have enough to purchase what they need in the increments they need.

I agreed until you said that money was made to cause violence.
“I don’t care who the IRS sends. I’m not paying taxes”
I’d like to argue why 3 of the 4 are absolutely amazing
Do your best to stop doing so. In the meantime, find a psychologist/psychiatrist/go to your family doctor. If you can’t afford one, try finding community health clinics.
Since 2004, we got smartphones which replaced a huge chunk of technology, internet has become far faster and more accessible leading to streaming services like Netflix and freelance video platforms like YouTube exploding, far fewer people having cable TV, kids growing up with online video rather than TV, social media went from simple platforms meant for communication with friends and family to behemoths meant to capture as much of your attention as possible, misinformation has become more trustworthy to many than traditional news, public school classrooms gained access to technology like Duolingo as learning aids, physical media has been phased out in basically all homes except those with video game consoles, software purchases have been replaced with subscriptions, and now we have programs that can create realistic-looking images and videos, human-like passages, and real-sounding speech.
Saying that none of that is as groundbreaking as the Internet is kinda like saying the Internet wasn’t as groundbreaking as electricity. Just because the effects are subtle doesn’t make it any less groundbreaking.
This is fun but also incredibly awful
When there’s a clean supply of drugs green-lit by a superpower like the US, wouldn’t it naturally be exported to other countries? Sure, the cartel would still exist, but for the drug trade specifically, better availability of safe, quality drugs internationally would reduce international demand for cartel drugs, no? Wouldn’t other countries start manufacturing said drugs to import into the US as well, making it easier to fill the black market with regulated products?
I’ll probably be fine, but a lot of people won’t be.
We already have a system like that in the US. Whoever has a wider reach and/or higher budget gets more turnout. A big reason why Obama won was because of his presence on social media, and Trump won because of the insane amount of media coverage he has. The current system gives prederence to voters who treat elections like simple popularity contests, whereas mandatory voting would force people who somewhat pay attention to current events and not to campaigns to be counted.
The alternative is voter suppression, which leads to unequal access. Also, given that more passionate individuals are gonna seek out a ballot vs. others, the result is going to be skewed in favor of those passionate people regardless of their understanding of reality or truthfullness.
I think they mean social media with algorithmicly generated content feeds.
Suppose that, for one reason or another, that the people preserving said information died 500 years ago, and nobody alive understands how our current technology works. Should future civilizations’ understanding of Pompeii be entirely reliant on a bunch of degraded old hard drives, or should they have a variety of options to learn what happened?
Why not make a better UI after ironing out the bugs?
