  • Democracy is mathematically impossible.

    if democracy was not possible, how does it come that the greek did democracy and it is said they were once overrun in a war because of beeing democratic? if something was a cause for a turn of a war, i pretty much believe it to really exist, no matter what some kind of half baked formulars "predicted" once.

    if democracy existed and your math says thats not possible, i'ld guess your math might simply be 'slightly' wrong about it or was created with (un-)intentional biases in mind ;-)

    just to note:

    in the history of human predictions based on thought through and wordly/mathmatically described rules, the most common thing afterwards was, that those rules and also their predictions were just fundamentally wrong and biased.

  • a system where you get served only two options to vote for but are held responsible for the outcome instead of those who limited the available options in the first place?

    eh yes, you are right, this is stupid.

    as a completely unrelated sidenote:

    "winner takes it all" is the actual opposite of democracy, no matter how the voting was done, and this fact can already be read 1:1 within those 4 simple words 😉

  • well, before that and for generations, banks printing money was an acceptable way of governments to make rich people richer and all others poorer, so i can fully accept that stealing was learned from govs and the richies there. change how "the successfull" accomplish their successes and you can teach the kids how to live without stealing, keep abuse by gov and richies as is and all the theft is done exactly as ordered by govs and richies, no matter the age.

  • i would try printing the filter part as a flat surface (without retractions) directly on the printer bed (only 3 layers maybe) and bend it later to become a tube ( like a "C") i am not sure about petg, i did this bending with pla. hot water comes in handy and maybe a glas bottle. also prepare something to tighten where the ends of the C connect, a border without the small filter holes but some larger holes for something like cable ties or even a printed part for connecting the C edges.

  • they get even more revenue from other peoples contributions.

    thats the whole point not more, not less.

    so there is no point for "you" to pay them anything.

    did you as a "premium customer" thought to be "the customer"? really? remember how little you personally pay for the service. it is mainly the ad companies who are youtubes "customers". when you pay them for something, you only increase yt's revenue, not more, not less, but you are not "the customer", you are the product ;-)

  • Your experiences are anecdotal.

    by pulishing them they become measurable, which also removes the "anecdotal" flag with numbers, also maybe ask archaeologists how much of an evidence a complain written in papyrus actually is a "while" after it was written.

    also the studies that found out "why" public services don't serve in the first place have become quite old* meanwhile, which is the very opposite of anecdotal, but nothing was done so far to change the known state of not serving services for decades, so why should they have changed without changing actions affecting them?

    *) i read parts of them >20 years ago and the studies observations and conclusions i read fitted 100% of what i personally experienced/witnessed from within a family "working" in such services.

  • i meant improving society and strengthen its immune system against threats that would otherwise cause collapses. imperiums cause and collapse/vanish all the time, just try to count the already vanished ones in "known" history, i guess while you are still busy counting the known ones there will be even more "newly found" by archaelogists. while lots of them just vanished without trace, some vanished but just weren't found yet.

    "De-escalation through escalation"

    The big picture: Israeli officials said their increasing attacks against Hezbollah are not intended to lead to war but are an attempt to reach "de-escalation through escalation."

    wtf

    Buy a Ford, get a spionage vehicle instead.

    https://therecord.media/ford-patent-application-in-vehicle-listening-advertising

    Looks like Ford just voted to NOT be my choice of car vendor in future.

    However getting this patent could be used by Ford to prevent such systems from beeing used by all vendors, but thats veery unlikely i guess.

    Deutsche Telekom and their interpretation of their security obligations when beeing a public CA

    looks like:

    • They claimed to be a trustworthy public CA (that can handle security incidents)
    • They made commitments to be included as trustworthy in common Browsers and OS'es
    • They now willfully break those commitments to rely on 2B2F only...
    • They do not even answer valid questions for month in a process that they should have already completed within 5 days as was defined in the commitments they agreed upon.

    Maybe Honest Achmed's Used Cars and Certificates should show up again once more !?
