Same here. Looks really cool, but I use a lot of sport features of my Garmin watch.

They didn’t realize the problem with the holocaust was the genocide bit, instead of the Jewish part. That’s the only explanation for this behavior: they keep talking about their mistake, but obviously learned the wrong lesson.

Does anybody claim it isn’t? Wtf?

Hate and outrage has shown to be most engaging emotions. All recommendation algorithms will gravitate towards it.

Haven’t seen any prominent lib even use violent rhethoric in connection with pointing out Trump’s dangerous plans for his second term, so I was surprised you bring up stochastic terrorism. The fact that Democrats are running a horrible candidate against him just shows that they don’t take this seriously at all. Maybe that’s what you tried to say in your first message.

I agree that democratic processes have little to do with US politics these days, but are you suggesting you can promote democratic values with anything outside living them (not that US politician do that, but in principle).

And it shouldn’t matter where I’m from. The disaster that is the US empires fall is of global interest.

Democracy needs to be saved through democratic processes, not a lawless assassination attempt, otherwise it would be disingenious to want to protect it and its values.

He is already, but he learned not to speak his mind on that.

Bush dodged better.

Yeah, it’s the use case. Qualcomm had smartphones in the 80s, General Magic had the smartphone in the 90s, but it took more than another decade to actually combine phone and browser into the right form factor and fast enough mobile connection and a world wide web to make it work.

For AR there were moments too. Niantic with global positioning, 5G with fast mobile internet, but that was not enough.

Input method isn’t clear yet (Apple may have solved it with gaze-pinch), form factor not consumer market ready. Actual use case that is worth the price point? Nah

We need to talk about Kevin

I guess if we can’t deradicalize our own extremists, why do we expect we can deradicalize the immigrants that are islamic extremists.

Meanwhile these people say the same thing about immigrants.

Don’t you get it? This one was one of the good ones. /s

Keeping these friendships going could combat their radicalization, but I’m not faulting you, I also cancelled friendships over this.

Damn… belligerent is an understatment at this point. They’re outright thugs, encouraged by the protection by the US.

But then you can’t call the US a liberal democracy in any way as they aren’t hands-off at all. Time and time again they meddle in other countries’ business to exert influence and power and to advance their interests.

Israel itself was created by the West as Palestine was a British colony before and the US has since given more support to Israel than they would usually grant an ally. The continuous protection (political and militaristic) makes Israel almost a vassal state of the US. This is the real reason why “liberal democracies” have not reacted much (yet, hopefully).

They only logged the IP. That’s metadata. IIRC Apple refused backdooring its phone encryption. That’s a lot more invasive.

Really? I’m not convinced the Chinese government acts in the interests of its people at all. That’s probably the biggest reason I can’t call it Socialism. Just because government influence is stronger than in the West, the economic system isn’t completely different.

But isn’t the means of production still mostly controlled by capital owners? Sure, some industries are influenced by the government, but that is also the case in the West. The plan is certainly more detailed for China, but to me Socialism always meant labor is controlling the means of production. How’s that the case when an elitist single-party government influences the capital owners?
