Ah yes, the famously communist Russian Federation. The RF is nakedly an imperial fascist regime that doesn’t even have communist window dressing, it boggles the mind that self-proclaimed communists and anti-imperialists support them.

  • I am not a native speaker, but my knowledge of the english language is better than most people i know, having no issues reading scientific papers and similar complex documents. Some wikipedia article intros, especially in the mathematics, are not comprehensible for anyone but mathematicians, and therefore fail the objective to give the average person an overview of the material.

    It’s fine for me if i am not able to grasp the details of the article because of missing prerequisite knowledge (and i know how to work with integrals and complex numbers!), but the intro should at least not leave me wondering what the article is about.







  • Sorry to break this to you, but the people writing bots can also get over this barrier very easily - see that link to the faceswap in this thread? That makes it possible for every person with a bit of tech understanding or at least a bit of persistence to ignore this. it’s not even a speed bump for people whose job (yes, job) it is to write bots.

    This does nothing to make the bots go away, but it gives Meta a full facescan, which is the fucking last thing to hand over to anyone - a data breach at Meta would mean that everyone around you will get scammed by videocallers with your face; not even your bank manager would be able to detect that something is off if he knows you personally (a short phone call with you to get a voice snippet makes the illusion perfect!)

    The political shenanigans in the US are also a reason to NOT give facescans out to anyone.

    The solution to bots does not lie in giving up your anonymity. There are no shortcuts here that don’t do more harm than good.
