Commented in U.S. Must Act Quickly to Avoid Risks From AI, Report Says
Global warming. AI. Microplastics. Pandemics. Pollution. War. Inflation. Censorship. Politics.
When everything is an existential threat, fatigue sets in and absolutely nothing gets accomplished.

Commented in Destroying Gaza’s Health Care System Is a War Crime
Most things done to the Palestine people the past 76 years by Israel are warcrimes. And not just Israel, the countries that support Israel with politics, money and weaponry are guilty also. It's Zionism, not Judaism, which is at the base of all of these atrocities. And a large dose of colonialism, not just by Zionists, but the countries that used their veto to start all this in 1948, read USA, GB, France and Germany. They all wanted to "get rid of the Jews" way before the second world war and saw this as their chance to do it "legally", with the extra prize of political and military influence over the region. But, come on, let's all vote for these motherfuckers and criminals.

Commented in Chart-armed Katie Porter proves that corporate greed is behind inflation
That's probably the hardest (to answer) question ever asked on SnapZu.
First thing that comes to mind is revolution and since nothing established like the big companies and their stranglehold on politics (in every industrialized country) will go peacefully, violence will be the only option. But then again: the chance to win such revolution is nearly zero, since that stranglehold on politics, they have armies, police forces, secret services and agencies on their side and working to make their wishes come true. So, that's not the best option.
Democracy is not an option, since it doesn't exist in forementioned countries, because of said stranglehold.
Not buying their products is somewhat doable, but coming to energy or food, it is hard or undoable for most people.
There's one option, a step higher than revolution, which is war. But also with this option the big players will win and the people will lose. Check both world wars and all the wars after the second big one (where one country stands out in starting or helping to start most of them). They were and are all big cash-ins for the big players and a complete disaster for the rest of humanity.So, to answer your question: I have no fucking clue. One thing I do know for sure is that I am against the American way of doing things and how they set up the world against eachother to profit from it and to maintain their incredibly sadistic en preplanned power. Because that is mainly the source of much misery a lot of people around the world are in right now.

Commented in This Is How to Impeach a Supreme Court Justice
It might be a good idea to appoint justices without any alliance with political parties and/or religious institutes. Sounds inconceivable, doesn't it? And lifetime appointments, really? That's way too much power for any human being. A periodic cleansing isn't such a bad idea, just set on dates, not likes or dislikes. It would be refreshing in a corrupt policical landscape. Same goes for the influence of money on politics.

Commented in At last, my precious, you're truly FREE
Wow this comic is a wild misrepresentation of what's going on. Twitter was already a wasteland of single-party politics. Rules enforced for one group of people & ignored for others ... Wasn't that part of the reason SnapZu was created in the first place? A big movement away from Reddit for similarly unfair practices?

Commented in A New World Order
Energy independence could have been established many years ago, but nooooooo, neoliberal politics and some old fashioned oil cunts thought differently.

Commented in Florida Continues Attack On Education After Rejecting 54 Math Textbooks Due To 'CRT'
So, even math textbooks are in the sites of racist politics. WTF?

Commented in U.S. life expectancy falls for 2nd year in a row
If politics had not reared it's ugly head,things would have been so much better.

Commented in FCC puts Kaspersky on security threat list, says it poses “unacceptable risk“
Again a fine example of how politics stands in the way of technological progress.

Commented in Fossil Fuel Companies Want Governments To Pay $18 Billion For Bringing In Laws Tackling The Climate Crisis Largely Caused By Fossil Fuel Companies
It shows at least how destructive corporate and political greed are and I hope, for once, that more and more people will get the insight it is, quite easy, to walk away from the old technologies and ways of thinking and handling. In stead of waiting for politicians and companies to come up with solutions, which they comfortably do not, us people should do that with the technologies at hand, which are a lot, actually. You can see it also happen more and more, when neighbourhoods share their solar energy, less people using their cars or even owning one (in cities at least). Less people are voting, too.
To me it all looks like a waning and fading of a certain era and, just like with the old style banks, these are some last cramps. They are quickly losing their grip on society and like with politics, they try to hold on to it with extremeties.

Commented in Using AI and machine learning to reduce government fraud
I recommend to set AI loose on tax-evasion, by far the biggest governmental fraude ever. The second fraude, just an addition: politics.

Commented in How the US created a world of endless war
It's a nice article, but more of an analysis of finding legal reasons to justify war and endless war by American presidents. It could have been an even way longer article when it focused also on the main reason of all that war mongering, killing and destruction: money and power. The main job suppliers in the USA are weapons manufacturers for the department of "defence" and that same department itself.
I don't think that the world needs a "military superpower" nor do I think that the world needs some sort of politically motivated policing. All it does is costing many lives and just fills the coffers of a very few people. Plus: people hate other people from around the world, without even taking notice of the fact that everybody's life is just as worthy or worthless (depends on who you ask) as anyone else's. I think American politics is the cause of so much misery around the world and looking at it right now, I don't think that will end very soon. Maybe when the dollar goes down to oblivion in "value", just maybe then will there be some sort of really peaceful period.
Until the next gang of morons stands up, of course.
Edit: I should nuance my comment with the terms "Western countries", NATO and lapdogs.

Commented in SolarWinds hacking campaign puts Microsoft in the hot seat
It's mainly a political thing, for instance the city of Munich started a partial switch back from Linux to Windows and when political parties start to enter, you can bet on it that lobbying by Microsoft is involved. A minority of the users, the cityworkers, wanted the switch back to Windows and Microsoft Office. One of the problems the city had was a decentralized IT department, which can cause problems with updating, but still is not a reason to switch back and could be solved with a few cron-scripts (I say that as an avid and fanatic Linux-user, I am far from being a technician).
Another "detail" about mainly using Microsoft products is convenience, read: being scared for new things or just too fucking lazy to switch to something better, safer. I call that the "Facebook effect".
All in all you can say it is the cause of politics and mainly conservative minds that don't know better or don't want to know better. Like with many problems in the world right now, I dare to say.

Commented in DuckDuckGo Announces Plans to Block Google's FLoC
Fuck google and their big brother browser.They also censor search results for politics and profit. They got rid of their "Do no evil" pledge long ago when they decided that doing evil was just so profitable.

Commented in Opinion: For just $25 billion, the U.S. could jump-start a project to quickly vaccinate the entire world against COVID
On a thought: Europe can do that, too. Hell, 25 billion is about one-eighth of Belgium's yearly amount of tax-avoidance, so there, even my small country can do it. But yeah, I understand the importance of greed, politics and banking, which goes way above decency and common sense in nowadays ideology.

Commented in SolarWinds security fiasco may have started with simple password blunders
"The bottom line: We may never know the full range and extent of the damage, and we may never know the full range and extent as to how the stolen information is benefiting an adversary."
Okay, so an intern leaves the password "solarwinds123" on Github and then the Russians, a thousand of them - AT LEAST - "hacked into their servers" to obtain a not specified amount of information that can do not really specified damage. Or not. The password was on Github since 2017, which is four years ago, and nothing was done about it, when those bloody Russians (or Chinese, or Dutch, or, god forbid, some (1000!!) people from a non existing country) picked that password up and used it to undermine national security, or so, in the US.
Why not blame everything on a non-specified intern every time something like this comes in the (already a sewer of a) news-feed? That saves a lot of time, money and, most of all, head space. Or is the world doing so great that bull-shittery like this becomes the new standard for politics and is common sense passé?
I don't know how other readers on this very high standard website think about this, but somehow this reeks as a shitty story so bad, that even artificial intelligence doesn't want to have anything to do with it. Or, as we call it here in this household: propagande merdique.

Commented in The Extraordinary Power of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Instagram Live
I completely agree, here but I still will call people out when I think what they are saying isn't true, although that is rare.
I must say, I am finding US politics dismayingly, divisive and filled with lies at the moment and it seems easy to fall into the habit of liking something because it fits in with what you believe rather than whether it's true.

Commented in The Extraordinary Power of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Instagram Live
Any actual proof of that? She was after all on the list of people they wanted to lynch. She also said they wanted to assassinate senators and members of congress and she was speaking the truth, when she said that. Nit picking without proof really doesn't make the whole incident any less dangerous or criminal.
According to this she was in the Capitol building as the riot started, so what you said was a blatant lie.

Commented in Electric vehicles close to ‘tipping point’ of mass adoption
In my city (Ghent) there are already over 1400 charging points, which is pretty okay considering the fact that politics in my country (Belgium) did (and still does) everything to withhold any progress or evolution towards renewables. Good thing it is becoming economically really viable, otherwise there would be no change at all.

Commented in Facebook introduces new AI systems to detect misinformation
My natural intelligence told me (10 months ago) to get my ass off of Facebook, because of the misinformation, crappy webdesign, lots of scripts people do not need and an algorithm that does exactly what they say they're fighting with the artificial intelligence (giving priority to paid posts with misinformation, for instance). If Facebook wants to stop misinformation, which they won't, they should stop with the data-selling for directed ads, which provide misinformation tailor-made.
Actually, I do not give a shit about it, because it is a clear signal to me that people still fall for bullshit, which says more about the people than the spreaders of said information. It's a bit like politics: people cuss on it, but they still vote for the incompetence and corruption. -
Commented in U.S. considers blacklisting China's largest chipmaker as tech tensions escalate
Just do it already. Stop threatening and actually take action. I get so frustrated with all the politics.

Commented in Michael Sandel: 'The populist backlash has been a revolt against the tyranny of merit'
“I had prepared a long list of what I thought were very tough questions,” recalls Sandel, now 67, via video-link from his study in Boston. “On Vietnam, on the right of 18-year-olds to vote – which Reagan opposed – on the United Nations, on social security. I thought I would make short work of him in front of that audience. He responded genially, amiably and respectfully. After an hour I realised I had not prevailed in this debate, I had lost. He had won us over without persuading us with his arguments. Nine years later he would get elected to the White House in the same way.”
Such an extraordinary difference to modern US politics.

I can't wait for all this to be over. I am already tired of politics and it hasn't even ramped up to a fervor pitch yet.
