You might stop the party, but you can’t stop the future.

Lot of buzzword drivel that equals just connecting dots, which is nothing convincing, sorry.
Anyway the last sentence is interesting as insofar as you could make a divide of indentificable and non-identificable, clearly imagebaords belong to the latter and are a problem in a logic that seeks to make everything identificable. Big Data is also part of the state and not just relevant for commercial interests. the state is concerned with security and therefore engages in biopolitics. KC and such could be identified as a threat, since you don't know it, you cannot really identify its elements.

I'm techno sceptic. When it comes to freedom of expression and even propeert rights it will be worse and worse, because of big tech giants.

I'd actually like them to. I don't know that they realise it but I'd like them to, at least.

I'm not a huge tech consumer myself. I actually don't buy tech products like tablets, laptops, anything which is on the market, except for a few very expensive watches which I wear for various reasons. So I don't think I can buy a £1000 luxury watch on a normal price basis.

Maybe I'm way of thinking too much. It's very easy to get on the bandwagon of tech companies. They don't have an obligation to support free speech. I understand that they might. I know a bunch of them who are really passionate about free speech. It's pretty funny that as far as I'm concerned there is no such thing as the 'right' way to criticise Google, or Apple, Microsoft or Google

for all the techno skeptics: techno exists, I was at a techno party recently

Good old zhirik.

Danke

Seems like you need a small house full of machinery to produce the same power as a car battery.

Yes, it's not a technology that works on small scale... but it might be a viable alternative industrial energy source if you have a river you can utilise.

So if you were able to redirect every drop of water that reaches the shores in the netherlands all you get is about 1 nuclear powerplant?

I have serious doubt in the practicality on a greater scale. How are the Nerherlands supposed to put a membrane between the land and the sea? Maybe they could put a membrane over one or some arms of the Rhine delta, but that would cover just a percentage of the supposedely 3,300 m³ fresh water/4.5 gigawatt potential. Also I see a problem with keeping that membrane free from debris and penetration by same debris.

As practical applications ocean power plants that generate energy from waves and tidal
power plants that generate power from tidal streams seem to make more sense.

Given that higher salinity provides higer energy densities, preprocessing the seawater using solar desalination should provide a higher energy generation per square meter of membrane,
so for the time being my conclusion is Reversed electrodialysis (RED) might rather have a potential for countries that already generate drinking water from desalination, and therefore already produce huge amounts of brine as a waste product of the desalination process
(Arabs, Australia, Israel, Singapore etc.).

It was last thread on page 25...

If you don't know about ANUS you are a either a zoomer or a normie.

ANUS is what you get when you mix Varg Vikernes with Metal fedoras. Metal fedoras autistic enough to have made a huge ass library about metal bands, one of the first (if not the first) comprehensive catalogs on the internet of such scale.

All in all there are plenty of articles which are very spot on and are good reads on their own, but you will also find many that are either 3edgy or just tryharding.

Honestly it am(us)azes me that the site is this alive and well.

>>29886
It was one of the first "redpill" sites. Unfortunately the side admin is a schizo and most of what he says is wrong, especially when it comes to deifying extreme metal.

>>29685
What I find most offensive about that thesis is that they eschew or decry metal that actually IS influenced by classical music (neoclassical metal, "shred" metal, Power Metal, bands like Children of Bodom) and instead force some meme that just isn't true, that Morbid Angel and Darkthrone have something in common with Mozart. There were even reviews of death metal bands making references to "sonata form", it was just cringy as fuck.

>>29065
Because those things replaced culture in our society. You actively denounce their demigods and fables which give them meaning and entertainment in their lame lives. You attacked the last remnants of their soul.

Max Payne was exeptional in this.

dwarf fortress seems to head more and more in the direction. imagination and some artistic skill (eg kruggsmash) do help.

Don't worry, reactionary forces all across Europe are gathering to end this kind of madness.
Whether it will work out or not doesn't matter, at some point there will already be enough of us to secede and let them rot in their cesspool.

>>28603
lol rekt

>>28615
reactionary forces aren't any better either. In fact, all I could hope for is the two completely destroy each other. Both sides murdering each other until no one is left but varying strands of democratic and libertarian viewpoints is the best possible outcome. Nothing left but freedom loving people who value honesty and decency. Reactionaries should be lined up against a wall and shot just as much as the sick fucks who are the reason why that video even exists with those kids. As a matter of fact those two sides basically only exist because of each other and as a reaction to each other to mutually descend into further levels of faggotry. Let them both be utterly annihilated.

>>28766
Maybe. Sometimes captcha goes full retard on me and says to click for buses in an image of a giant hill. Or sometimes I fastclick all the traffic lights even though it asks for cars and it lets me through anyway.

It was mostly 30-40 year olds. Most people have a set routine of things they do online so I imagine that anything outside of opening YT is wizardry to them. But it's pretty depressing to see how many of them can't figure out something like Google's password recovery.

>>28765
That is why I like Android and iPhone. Finally I can blame the user for installing shit.

"Why is my tablet slow?"
"That is because you installed a shitload of apps my dear."
"Can you fix it?"
"No, I don't know that system."

>>28781
I'm jealous, they didn't let you just ignore it that easily. Though most of their problems were easily solvable things.
But sometimes they gave me smartphone questions. And usually I can fix them but just looking at all their junk data and notifications makes me ill. If those phones were human, they would turn anyone pro-euthanasia.

>>28883
I first tried to charge people. Turns out people are actually willing to pay so it didn't work. So just playing stupid works better, they understand stupid.

Love-hate relationship in Australia. They're kind of like 'the' bad guy of WWI for us and the Dardanelles Campaign in particular has culturally scarred the nation to the current day for both good and bad (we have this weird pseudo-brotherhood thing with Turkey regarding war dead since most of our bodies never made it home, and Ataturk is the only enemy commander honoured on Anzac Parade which is as close to holy ground as secular society can make it). Then there's also the Armenian Genocide, and more recently just being massive faggots on the international stage because of their strategic position.

The magic of truly obnoxious levels of national chauvinism will do that. There was also the whole slow-burning chimpout about not being allowed into the EU so Turkey has decided to go the route of Neo-Ottoman empire now.

Turkish breakfast is nice though.

Says it all

I doubt Latinamericans feel very strongly towards it either way, since there's isn't much history there, but it might interest you to know that Turkish soap operas are exported to them, dubbed and all.

As for the regional animosity: that's quite obvious, the Ottoman Empire waged war on Europe, islamized part of it, and had that practice where they kidnapped boys from Christian families to serve in the Janissary army. As for the Arabs, they were ruled by Ottomans, and finally attained indepedence during ww1 through British intervention who excerbated and aided their revolution, these sort of relationships always breed bad blood between the two; and i do remember hearing the Saudis began their rebelion, when they were under Ottoman rule, in order to free themselves from the Ottomans who had become too westernized in their eyes. How do the Stan countries feel, do they view them as their Turkic brothers?

Had Turkey simply been another nation in the region, it might not be as disliked, but alas, it was an Empire! This hate is the fate of former Empires. As for Americans, if they even know where Turkey is located, they probably only think it rather backwards on account of Erdogan's rule, a man who's censored wikipedia.

As for me, there's a qt Turkish asmr girl i watch on youtube, i'd say two if the other hadn't stopped making videos, both live in Germany though.
