Because they care about the west supporting them. That’s it, that’s literally the entire reason. That and they don’t have the capability without western support. (To some extent yes, but not really in the ‘precision-guided-munitions’ department)

So it’s more of a case of ‘we will follow orders’ then. Somehow not surprising…

How would funding work, then? If everything I do is available to the public with no protections on my end, then I can’t guarantee that I (the inventor) will ever be able to extract any value from some thing that I put a lot of time and effort into developing. Considering we live in a capitalist society, there needs to be a way to reimburse inventors.

As the person above me pointed out, how do you prevent a large company on capitalising on ideas that a small inventor has?

And best of all, they’re not even satanists. They just call themselves an edgy name

I’ll say that it’s a logical position: the GOP loves any and all innocent lives (that vote for them). If you’re a good white Christian (to some extent you can be a good black too), you’re innocent and therefore allowed to live. If you’re a criminal, an ex soldier with PTSD, LGBT, a political dissident, poor, of the wrong religion, of the wrong race, of the wrong citizenship, your right to free and unmolested life is revoked.
Babies are good because they are not old enough to be anything but a possible future GOP voter.

The link doesn’t work, but I just found out it’s actually supported on mine! Although I probably won’t mess with it, since I’m not alone here

Sadly there’s little option for some stuff. Robot vacuums have become super useful, even if they are arguably the biggest security risk that exists. And that will never change, no matter how capable the products get

I hate the fact that you’re probably right about that reason.

Why would you want to defederate at all? It’s akin to hiding your head in the sand, except done on a community-wide scale. Just because you can’t see the nazi over there in the bushes doesn’t mean he isn’t squatting there, observing you.

I actually like colder temperatures, but I’ve noticed that due to the wall structure (or something) the outer walls ‘radiate’ a lot of coldness right onto my bed which is next to said wall. (Of course cold does not radiate, the opposite is true). To keep that within bounds, I’ve found it helpful to keep an awfully high room temp, around 24c.

That and there being serious building structure issues that cause a ton of mold in winter when not heating

I’d say it’s because the person you’re replying to rightfully sees it as a slippery slope. If you say this fake image that didn’t directly harm anyone is illegal, what’s to stop you from saying some other fake image that’s much more in line with social tastes is also illegal? Ie an artwork made of human shit, for example. Most people would be repulsed by that. But it doesn’t change the fact that it could be art. As long as it doesn’t concretely harm someone, it’s hard to equate it to said harm.
