  • I think TOR would be more suitable than a VPN

  • Where did you source your information on Islam and the Caliphates from? Disney's Aladdin? You don't realize how much of our conception thereof is shaped by 18th and 19th century white supremacists pretending to be intellectuals.

  • The issue isn't with curious individuals using AI recreationally (not my cup of tea though). The real problem is that corporations and enterprises use it to cut corners; i.e. big multinationals using AI for their ad campaigns; media outlets using AI illustrations instead of real footage; news and reports written completely with AI, and so forth. In short, (generative) AI is being used by capitalists to cut on labour costs when real humans could've done a better job.

  • It's alright! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Also, new developers stepped up to maintain vimusic.

  • What would be the incentive to share personal stories to a random stranger whose vague about their so-called "project"? This is some fed ploy isn't it?

    Seems fishy and I wouldn't recommend anyone to enter their info on some google form.

  • He is, though slightly more aware of the symptoms of capitalism.

  • He settled down with a eunuch too, never had kids, asked to be buried in the cemetery next to his eunuch

    Didn't know the emperor had such a close friend! (/s)

  • In all honesty, I was also bamboozled when I first heard it, but ultimately thought it was funny to post.

    Is it really AI? If so, I'm ashamed that I didn't notice.

  • Not what you're looking for, but a book that definitely shares the same spirit is Silencing the Past by Michel-Rolph Trouillot, which explains how power dynamics influence the production of history by taking the Haitian revolution and its leaders as well as Colombus’ "discovery" of America as case studies.

    [T]he presences and absences embodied in sources (artifacts and bodies that turn an event into fact) or archives (facts collected, thematized, and processed as documents and monuments) are neither neutral or natural. They are created. As such, they are not mere presences and absences, but mentions or silences.

  • How so? From the getgo, and even before its inception, Israel was designed to be a setller colonial project, resting on the myth that "no one occupies these lands” just like the United States, the British empire, Spain and Portugal justified conquering the entire American continent and massacring its native population to replace it with their own.

    You could argue he was ignorant, but absolutely not right. Malcolm X was more aware of the ills of the Zionist project and he rightly condemned it.

  • According to the description, it is “perfect for security monitoring, content creation, or any situation requiring background video recording without compromising your privacy.”

  • I'm lost, what would it look like?

  • There's genuinely a lot of internet users whose entire historical knowledge is sourced by memes and 5-min animated youtube videos. The audacity of some people to fight and argue with you despite their political and historical illiteracy is astounding.

  • And you just got to look at the 18th and 19th-century philologists who've essentially set the pillars of scientific racism, to further prove your point.

  • Ah, unsurprisingly.

  • Unfortunately when people criticize socialist countries for the lack of "free speech," even if with good intentions, they are usually parroting the talking points of Western, bourgeois media and only serves as to justify imperialist intervention against them.

    These criticisms however derive from an ignorance of the way politics work in such countries whose only perception comes from behind the iron curtain and only through the lens of fascist and capitalist media.

    In historically socialist countries, democracy had always been principally practiced on the local and communal stages, where individuals had the most capacity to take decisions regarding their daily lives and the situation of their neighbourhood, locality or commune. I highly recommend reading on this topic:
