Well… Good for them. Am I supposed to be alarmed by this? Weren’t we saying a decade ago how China was the top contributor to pollution? Now they are doing something about it by investing in necessary tech?
If US and EU can’t compete due to subsidies, let’s increase our subsidies. C’mon, it’s not rocket surgery.
I don’t think they would be dwarf planets, but something else.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) defined in August 2006 that, in the Solar System, a planet is a celestial body that:
1 is in orbit around the Sun, 2 has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape), and 3 has “cleared the neighbourhood” around its orbit.
A dwarf planet must meet 1 & 2. Are Jupiter’s smaller moons round?
Jupiter has rings, so any planet would have to have cleared the rings around their orbit. I think that applies to the Galilean moons. Juno orbits outside the solar plane, so I’m not sure if that is a rule for a planet or not.
I don’t know that the History Channel is a good representation of academic consensus. It should basically never be relied upon.
That’s prehistory. Everything we know about history comes from written accounts. Historians study written documents and argue whether or not the available evidence makes it more likely that something (or someone) was real or fiction.
Most historians agree that there was a Jewish man named Jesus (yehoshua), who preached in Judea and the Galilee in the early first century, who gained followers and was crucified by Rome. There are also historians who examine the same evidence and conclude it is more likely that no such person existed, because that’s how academia works.

Yes.
Why label it if it is trivial to avoid the label?
Doesn’t that mean that bad actors will have additional cover for misise of AI?
It’s been clear and consistent since day 1 of the war. Israel wants the return of the hostages taken on Oct 7, the removal of Hamas from power, and the inability for Hamas or any other group to repeat a deadly attack within Israel.
That was the goal on Oct 7, that’s still the goal. Anything else is just politics and propaganda.
Now, how effectively they have done so, and the methods they’ve employed are another discussion entirely.
Lebanon (at least Hezbollah in Lebanon) began attacking Israel on Oct 8 in solidarity with Hamas. Things have gradually been escalating since then.
It’s also worth mentioning that Russia and China have been caught manipulating online conversations, spreading misinformation, etc. The USA does it too, and probably a lot of countries. One of the most effective ways to gain geopolitical ground is to spread political division within your rival.
Internet makes that easy, especially when profits line up. Creating information bubbles and ragebait pays the bills.
The fringe has been growing with online organizing since the 1990s. You happened to have a strongman politician who sensed that there was a large disenfranchised group of radicals/conspiracy people, who was able to capitalize on them before anyone else.
“Look mister, I use a LOT of curses and it is a VARIETY. I don’t have time to be manually adding EVERY swear that I use.”
Honestly, I’m just replying for the algorithm because it’s an interesting question and a lot of people sort by active or hot. Good luck!
That’s exactly what it is. If you read an article about a little girl sexually assaulted because she is Jewish and your first thought is, “but there is also a genocide in Gaza!” then you have lost the plot.
Thanks, but could we not “all lives matter” the antisemitic sexual assault of a 12 year old?
I wish they would report on this more honestly.
Europe and Australia both back down on mass surveillance in the name of CSAM
FIFY
I think this just means that the honeymoon is over.
In all seriousness, this is a common feature of any social media or human experience (hobby, relationship, etc) in general. When something is new and we are in the exciting discovery period, it seems great. After a while, the warts start to show. Some things begin to seem repetitive.
Lemmy does not have as much content as larger and older social media. It has limitations. the way people vote content is different from other sites because the structure and culture of the platform is different.
This is not to deny anyone’s experience. If you are no longer enjoying it or getting something out of it, take a break. That’s good advice for any social media.
9 million people are currently displced in Sudan, making this the worst displacement crisis of our time.
There is still time to keep it from becoming the deadliest.
Probably go seduce my wife as a stranger.
Okay, now we’re cooking!
This is like when the bad guy from the last movie teams up with the heroes at the last minute to help fight the new big bad.
