Man, we're not even 3 months in (6%) and everyone starts preparing for world war 3. Americans needs to step up now.

Well, the comment that showed bust above yours shows an article from NYT doing exactly that 😮‍💨

A bit out of context my you recall me of some thinking I heard recently about lying vs. bullshitting.

Lying, as you said, requires quite a lot of energy : you need an idea of what the truth is and you engage yourself in a long-term struggle to maintain your lie and keep it coherent as the world goes on.

Bullshit on the other hand is much more accessible : you just have to say things and never look back on them. It's very easy to pile a ton of them and it's much harder to attack you about any of them because they're much less consequent.

So in that view, a bullshitter doesn't give any shit about the truth, while a liar is a bit more "noble". 0

You don't need any knowledge of computers to understand how big of a deal it would be if we actually built a reliable fact machine. For me the only possible explanation is to not care enough to try and think about it for a second.

I've been willingly enabling data collection features for Mozilla but I guess that time is revolute, they don't feel trustworthy anymore.

Well I suppose LibreWolf (or some other de-branded Firefox) will become more mainstream. Similar to what chromium is to chrome 🤷

When the internet archive was attacked a few months ago we were like "who would be dumb and mean enough to do that?". We have new suspects! 🎉
