Comment Automative and augmentive are the same (Score 1) 39

The automative vs. augmentive distinction that AI companies and the ownership class want you to believe in is nonsense meant to keep the working class calm as their job opportunities dwindle away. The only difference between them is a quantity threshold. Augmentive means multiplying the number of jobs available by a number greater than zero but less than one (as fewer people can do the same work), automative means multiplying the number of jobs available by zero. Both mean jobs are lost, the only difference is how many remain.

This could be my next phone but has two big problems I see immediately. No earpiece so you can't, you know, hold it up to your ear and make calls like on a normal phone, you either need to have a bluetooth earpiece at all times or use speakerphone. The other thing I don't like is the Blackberry-like form factor. Nothing beats or comes close to the landscape slider layout. That said if it's open-source hardware I could at least potentially mod up a landscape slider version with an earpiece.

You don't live in a country that has been under continual full bore economic, propaganda and terrorist attack by the biggest economy and most expensive military/intel organizations on the planet for half a century. Like Cuba, the fact that the country is still intact, unified, and free is a huge testament to its people and its government. You may not like their culture or their government, but it works for them and we have no right to force anything different on them.

Iran's position is that the destruction of Israel is connected to the Mahdi's return. As in, the end times.

As for "state sponsored terrorism", I assume you don't mean any of the state sponsored terrorism supported by Iran, specifically directed at Israel. When people's lives are literally on the line, they're not going to listen to you when you tell them to lay down their lives, from the comfort of your armchair.

It's a myth that Ukraine is engaged in some sort of cultural genocide against Russians. Showing that Russian duplicity has no limits, Russia has engaged in a program of cultural genocide in occupied Ukraine.

You can fool some of the people some of the time. But lies catch up with you. And Russia is a country where telling the truth lands you in jail.

Poor vatnik.

Russia and Nazies:
  • Task Force Rusich: An openly neo-Nazi paramilitary unit that has fought alongside Russian forces in Ukraine and has had close ties to Wagner.
  • Russian Imperial Movement (RIM): A white-supremacist and fascist organization whose paramilitary wing has trained and supplied fighters for Russia's war in Ukraine while maintaining connections with Russian military structures.
  • Russian National Unity (RNU): A long-running neo-Nazi movement whose members and veterans joined Russian-backed forces in Donbas, including Pavel Gubarev, who became a senior separatist political figure.
  • Española Brigade: A Russian football-ultra military formation with a substantial neo-Nazi element that fought in Ukraine within Russian state-linked military structures.
  • Varyag and Svarozhich: Small neo-Nazi detachments that fought within the Russian-backed separatist forces in Donbas before largely disappearing into the broader Russian military apparatus.

And then there's Putin's Russia, itself a Fascist regime:

  • Ultranationalism: The state presents Russia as a unique civilization whose collective destiny takes precedence over liberal individualism.
  • Leader-centered rule: Political legitimacy is heavily personalized around Putin as the embodiment, defender, and stabilizer of the nation.
  • National rebirth: Putinism repeatedly depicts Russia as recovering from the humiliation and decay of the 1990s and restoring its rightful historical greatness.
  • Militarism: Military strength, sacrifice, martial virtue, and victory are given unusually prominent roles in state ideology and public culture.
  • Anti-liberalism: Liberalism is portrayed as decadent, socially corrosive, excessively individualistic, and frequently as an instrument of hostile Western power.
  • Organic conception of society: Individuals, families, church, state, and nation are presented as parts of a larger national organism rather than primarily as autonomous rights-bearing actors.
  • Traditionalism: The regime promotes traditional family, religious, gender, and social values as defenses against supposedly decadent modern Western culture.
  • Imperial nationalism: Russia is conceived not merely as a nation-state but as the political center of a wider historical and cultural Russian world with claims extending beyond its current borders.
  • Enemy politics: Domestic opposition and foreign adversaries are frequently portrayed not simply as competitors but as traitors, subversives, extremists, or agents of hostile powers.
  • Subordination of pluralism: Political parties, media, business elites, regional authorities, and civic organizations may exist, but their independence is constrained when it conflicts with the state's political objectives.
  • State-directed capitalism: Private property and markets remain, while strategically important businesses and wealthy elites are expected to accommodate the political priorities of the state.
  • Historical mythmaking: Selective historical memory, especially surrounding imperial Russia and victory in World War II, is used to provide moral legitimacy and continuity to the contemporary state.

Jesus Fucking Christ. It's 2026, Trump has been putting his boot on the necks of major networks and studios for a year and a half now. I realize you probably fell into a coma in 2016, but ten years later, the free press, regardless of what you think of it, or fair you imagine it is, is under direct assault.

None of that is true. Grow up and learn how to understand and rate journalism. Start with Appling the spj code of ethics to media.

So you post a factual incorrect statement then call anyone with facts delusional. JFC, take some actual media course. Like, in a class room.
