I have a genuine question: In a world fully connected where cultural and national boundaries sexist but travel is for the most part free, and immigration between countries is exclusive and total, meaning if you go to X country you adopt X culture, wouldn't humanity tend to become a single race of mutts?

From the perspective of genetic fitness, wouldn't a mutt be the most adaptable to the greatest number of situations as compared to one specific subspecies?

White people were already naturally selected to be optimal for Europe and Black people were already naturally selected to be optimal for Africa

If you mix them you will have a mixture of traits that are suboptimal for Europe and also suboptimal for Africa

It would take thousand of years to partially repair the damage

And if there is a cataclysm humanity might become extinct in that region before then

Now if welfare as a reward for undesirable behaviors was eliminated natural or artificial selection could work to improve the next generation by weeding out the bad offspring that were produced by race mixing or without race mixing

But as long as welfare is a reward for genes that are harmful to society each generation will get worse for humanity as a whole with or without race mixing

Best os choices and use cases for a netbook with 2ram?
I recently got a 10 dollar working netbook from a thiftstore. It has 2 ram and is from 2010 but isint the up-gradable version. Im wondering what os to run on it do i go with something like a android build or a linux setup? Im could also use some neat use cases. Ive thought about doing retro game on it but there are possible better solutions?

Assuming you mean 2GB RAM, it will run a full Linux. I was using a 2008-vintage laptop with similar specs as a secondary machine until recently, and it was capable of handling many light workloads. Retro gaming up to the 16-bit era should be fine. 720p video playback from local storage (never tried streaming) was fine. Modern websites were very hard on it, though, so I didn't normally use it in that capacity.

Just pick a distro that isn't too bloated, and a desktop environment that's suited to older machines and doesn't expect too much of the hardware, and you'll be fine.

(My laptop still works, by the way. I gave it up because 1. I got a good deal on a machine with much higher specs and 2. I run Gentoo, and compiling a modern version of GCC on a dual-core of that vintage takes longer than you would expect.)

#SouthPark #history #vs #trump

During a presentation at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday—the largest festival dedicated to pop culture—Matt Stone and Trey Parker revealed recent internal discussions about the depiction of a fake presidential penis.

“They were like, ‘OK, but we’re going to blur the penis,’” Parker told the audience. “And I was like, ‘No, you’re not going to blur the penis.’”

After a whole conversation among a bunch of adults that lasted about four... days, Parker explained that they ultimately decided to add eyes to the penis so it wouldn’t be blurred.

Lil' Trump spends his time mocking everyone. His team even brought out the big guns: artificial intelligence to humiliate his political opponents... Yeah, AI! As if Twitter and Fox News weren’t dumb enough already.

But then South Park throws it right back at him... and suddenly, the guy plays the victim! He whines, cries about injustice... It’s funny when it’s about others, right Donny? But when it’s your turn to get roasted, you scream "conspiracy!" like a kid who just lost at Mario Kart.

Le p’tit Trump passe son temps à se foutre de la gueule de tout le monde. Son équipe a même sorti l’artillerie lourde : de l’intelligence artificielle pour ridiculiser ses adversaires politiques… Ouais, de l’IA ! Comme si Twitter et Fox News c’était pas déjà assez.

Mais voilà que South Park lui renvoie la balle ... et là, monsieur fait sa victime ! Il chigne, il hurle à l’injustice... C’est drôle quand c’est les autres, hein Donny ? Mais quand c’est ton tour de te faire tirer le portrait, tu cries au complot comme un gamin qu’a perdu à Mario Kart.

"The Stainless Steel Rat" is the GOAT nickname for a fictional hero.

He was the hero of the Stainless Steel Rat books by Harry Harrison. His full name is James Bolivar diGriz, aka "Slippery Jim diGriz." Also good names. Harrison had a good ear for how names sound.

I loved those novels when I was a kid.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stai…

I also loved Harrison's "Deathworld" novel series, whose hero also had a pretty good name — Jason dinAlt.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathwor…

On the other hand, "Jake Cardigan" is a ridiculous name. He was the hero of the Tekwar novels and TV series, created by William Shatner. Ron Goulart ghostwrote the books.

The first big thing that's killing the open internet is centralization by big companies.
Big tech companies like Apple, Google, or Microsoft are making all efforts to ensure that their users stick to their online services and products, and this ends up dictating what parts of the internet you end up accessing or not.

Using a specific web browser means you're using a specific engine, which dictates what you can or can't do online. It's also the search engines from these companies that will dictate which websites surface, and which don't. The algorithms from the platforms you use, like youtube for video, Facebook, or Twitter will define what content you see, and what content you don't.

And then you have the lack of interoperability between services. But this stuff, you can still bypass yourself. More concerning is what countries do to limit what you can and can't access.

comparitech.com/blog/vpn-priva…

Countries implement various filters that are basically censorship. Some of it is acceptable, like blocking illegal material, and some of it is more questionable, like blocking websites that reference various copyrighted materials.

All these filters make the internet less open: you can't freely access what you're looking for if your country decides it's not allowed.

When filters aren't enough, countries now implement full internet blackouts, generally to deal with protests against the government's actions. In 2020, 268 million people had their internet access shut down, that's 49% more than in 2019.

While these blackouts are selective, and can still let governments access the internet themselves while the general public can't, they're devastating for a country's economy and business, and they can't be maintained for very long periods of time.

Now, the ultimate candidate against the open web is what China has built. They might be linked to the general internet everybody else enjoys, but it's a one way street: people can access their websites, but Chinese people can't access most of the rest of the internet, being limited to what the Chinese government allows.

China has built their own entire alternative internet, with their own services and their own websites, and it's not for nothing that we're talking about the great firewall of china, because when you're in there, you can't access anything the government has deemed "not ok".

that it would be a grave mistake to let their citizens have access to information sources that

Of course, it's not all doom and gloom. The internet is showing signs of healing, at least on certain fronts.

First, decentralized services are emerging again, slowly offering alternatives to the big closed down networks. Mastodon for example is a success story of a federated, decentralized network offering a viable alternative to Twitter, and that can talk to a variety of other services, like Pixelfed, Wordpress, Peerube, Castopod, and the like.

Various laws are also being passed, forcing big tech companies to relinquish a bit of control, over their platforms or app stores, for example, with Apple being forced in the EU to have iMessage be interoperable, and allowing 3rd party app stores on iOS.

The Global Economic Damage of Internet Blackouts

Last year, the world lost at least $2.4 billion when governments intentionally shut down their countries’ networks.

Deshalb arbeiten sie auch enorm hart am 3. Weltkrieg, Sie wollen das wir uns selber gegenseitig umbringe. Dann sind sie fein raus und können weiter regieren. Das und um nicht weniger geht es ihnen. Deshalb auch die dauerhaften Abstimmungen zum gleichen Thema. Jedes EU Land muss zu dem Punkt gebracht werden, dass selbst die Bevölkerung ein JA bei der Abstimmung akzeptiert.

Year round, our crew (Antifa International) sells these SUPPORT ANTIFA PRISONERS shirts & hoodies (designed by a former antifa prisoner, btw!) and then sends the proceeds to support our imprisoned friends and their families.

Ordering a shirt for yourself or a friend = a great way of showing real solidarity with & support for people who've been locked up for the "crime" of defending their communities from fascism.
