root cause solution: outlaw advertising
advertising is what makes social media bad, because it creates an incentive system such that more traffic = more profits, and so companies are incentivised to create conflict (radicalise people) so they stay on the site more
that sounds fire as fuck

single player corporate games are still corporate games, removing the multiplayer aspect doesn’t remove the shittiness entirely
Camera + ID = zero privacy for anyone
is a child watching tom scott really a bad thing?
also if someone doesn’t want to provide service to Australia because they don’t want to handle IDs, how would you block Australians? ip bans won’t work because a child can use vpns, and if you want to verify by foreign ID for this then you still need ID checking
australia doing this makes it worse for everyone in the world
also a child could also just ask their parents to verify for them
im just mocking the stats in the title because it implies that women and children are targeted but it’s not like prioritising men or adults makes it any better
it’s not like you can ethically decide whether any one of these age groups/genders are more guilty/innocent/valuable/important
killing through genocide is similarly unjust however you do it, it’s just that sometimes discriminating some groups makes it more beneficial for the genociding party (e.g. deaths of children are more emotionally powerful when used in media)
the stats don’t say that they don’t discriminate though, it’s just saying they don’t discriminate based on their status as a child or an adult, or gender

maybe it’s just because that’s the more memorable/unique parts of their name?
trump/biden is much more distinctive than donald/joe
clinton could refer to both bill or hillary
obama/kamala is more memorable than barack/harris (though maybe for obama that’s just because I’ve heard ‘obama’ so many times)
I’m not saying that’s definitely not true, just that there might be other reasons why
iirc wood was used by the chinese for their heat shield’s ablator or something?

wtf does the article mean by 5G wwan chips being necessary for AI?
texas is unsuccessful then, and as a result the US is an unsuccessful country?
I don’t like many things about the US but I wouldn’t call the country itself unsuccessful

tbh though work at large publications are probably easier to get/pays better/more reliable, so it’s not like journalists that stay at these places necessarily agree with the publications’ stance
oh rip never knew about cohost :/

what’s the point of a piece of (visual) media if the same thing can be expressed more concisely with words?
