Otherwise please explain where exactly I defended liars or blamed the left.

Yeah, there are so many issues with differing root causes that all feed into the symptoms we see in the main OPs article. If we don’t take care of all of them and just concentrate on the easiest target, for example social media, then something else will come along and take its place. Next on the chopping block: VR/AR and AI.

we must fix the thing closest to the root that can actually be fixed.

Then maybe say that instead of pointing to social media as the root.

I said: social media is the root cause for the electoral success of the AfD and other far right parties in Europe.

Sigh…

So let’s focus on what changed that those parties get so much traction with young voters. Answer: social media

Ok, now you’re just conflating correlation with causation. Also I’ve heard this before: TV and Video Games are to blame, Music is to blame, Newspapers are to blame, Books are to blame…

OP said we need to find and mitigate the root cause. Your reply was social media, and specifically TikTok.

The article you linked doesn’t come to the same conclusion you do. They specifically mention lacking critical thinking and media literacy skills.

You could also argue for more regulation for algorithms. Or more equality/equity. Or communication from other political parties that is tailored to young people.

But no, you just say social media = bad.

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate what you do. And I recognize that the current state of social media is problematic. But it’s not THE problem or the root cause.

You just surfaced 2 more adjecent layers, keep digging. I don’t know why you say you understand RCA when you stop after 2 whys.

That still doesn’t make it the root cause. You should probably read up on what a root cause analysis is.

This is just the seed. You also need fertile ground, which is what OP is talking about.

Not if you want to promote a website.

Glad I didn’t buy the DLC and decided I’ll wait for some sort of definitive edition to play Starfield again. I hope by that point it will be a better overall game and have enough new things to make it worth the time.

I guess I forgot things like Patreon which could be a valid option. Although I’m neither a fan of subscribing to specific creators nor am I particularly fond of Patreon.

With Nebula my perception is that I pay a monthly fee and they can figure out who gets what depending on whose videos I watched. I don’t need to be particular in my action on who to support.

And how are they going to make a living to keep producing videos?

I’d say ask them to join Nebula.

The 7000 papers were really well written. Unfortunately, 90% of the people I’d forward them to would be article…

Seriously, since Apple stopped including a wall brick I have not had a single-port power adapter in my household. All I have now are a few power adapters with multiple USB A and C outputs so I can charge whatever is needed.

Scary in what context? For the user? For you as the host? Something else I’m not thinking of?

Is it more complicated to achieve than in other e2ee messengers? Yes, thus saying it is complicated is justified.

Although it is very much on the Science Fantasy side of things your thoughts remind me of the “The Final Architecture” book series by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Really enjoyed reading the trilogy.

I’ve never witnessed someone pouring chemicals into a river. I guess that means no laws are needed in this regard ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
