I quit Reddit for a decade because the admins actively cooperated with the pedophile who ran that subreddit

No. This is fantasy. Well before anyone first became aware of it, there was already no possibility that human intervention of any kind could have stopped SARS-CoV-2 from becoming a global pandemic.

It was almost certainly the most rapidly spreading disease Homo sapiens has ever experienced

โ€œTangentiallyโ€? โ€œBackgroundโ€? Youโ€™re just being weird to bring AIPAC and Israel into this when they have nothing to do with the shutdown capitulation and you canโ€™t show a shred of connection. You do you I guess, but maybe reflect on where that BS came from

If itโ€™s โ€œclearlyโ€ true you can point to some evidence.

The one fact youโ€™ve cited in this thread is puzzlingly unrelated

Something that not enough people know about SQLite is that it's in the public domain because it's a product of government. General Dynamics made it on contract with the U.S. Navy.

When government software is affirmatively placed in the public domain, and the code is public, good things can happen!

Beware of AI videos like the one below.

And, AI sucks for many reasons, but among the worst is that it destabilizes our shared reality.

"Can't spell Omelas without mela" would be mildly amusing to about 2,500 Maltese sci-fi fans worldwide, making it the most theoretically popular catchphase I've ever invented

This is the โ€œwhy did grandma cut off both ends of the meatloafโ€ story, in font form. Go find the designer who did this first and the answer will be โ€œthe smaller font file was corrupt and didnโ€™t render properlyโ€

For years Iโ€™ve been puzzled that TVs and laptops donโ€™t have physical switches that default to rejecting strobing but do have a โ€œharm permittedโ€ setting for those who want to live dangerously.

Feels like yet another failure of the regulatory state that we canโ€™t do this

Historian uses AI to help identify Nazi in notorious Holocaust murder image Jรผrgen Matthรคus has for years been investigating the killer โ€“ and is confident he has finally solved the mystery

Oh, man. After reading the article, what it actually says is that an historian did a lot of archival work and spatial research to determine the site of a killing and then the family of the likely perpetrator stepped forward with photographs to confirm identity.
