Afrin used to be something like 90% Kurds. The Turks came as they did not like the facts that the Kurds had a relatively warzone free city controlled by the Kurds, and invaded along with ex-isis fighters wearing new badges created by the Turks. Around 300,000 Kurds fled and live in refugee camps till this day. Afrin area has essentially been ethically cleansed as the Kurdish populationhas has dropped to 10-5%, we know it's on purpose as Turkey's great islamic leader said there's no Kurds in Afrin, only Arabs (excuse to remove the Kurds). That was there nonstop claims till completion.
This happened in 2018. Since then war crimes is through the roof. Kidnappings, rape, killings, forced assimilation, removal of Kurdish signs, ect. (There's a website for missing people, see below.) They fled for a reason is my point. What has the muslims said? Nothing really, in fact Palestinian aid groups settled in helping arabs that have moved in. Even reports that Palestinian construction companies building homes there, which means they are more than happy to do the same.
Isis fighters live in Afrin, turkey supports it, Palestinians are involved.
Last time you checked?
Iran hangs Kurds by construction cranes on such a scale some crane companies stopped sales.
Just Google Iran public executions. You people are full of shit and hypocrites. Yes, yes you're anti western, so just go to Iran and let's see how fast you'll reverse your opinions.
Ads are not the only reason, but if you're still on reddit, you clearly missed the point why reddit became popular.
If you're not a billionaire and against this, you're pretty much a moron and if you're thinking one day you'll be a billionaire, you won't be based on your thought process alone.
There's no sensible reason why anyone should have no resistance accumulating that much wealth to themselves. It isn't infinite money for everyone, essentially you're taking it from others. Yes, some fools kind of deserve or are themselves at blame for parting from their own money, but if there are no stops, it doesn't motivate others from making sure they create methods to keep doing this to others. All to gain, nothing to lose.
If I ask an "ai" bot to create an image of batman, it does make sense to be modern or take inspiration from the batman of recent, the same applies to information it provides when asked questions. It makes sense to crawl news and websites with copyrighted footers if the information is relevant.
I do totally get their argument and think of the children angle. Getting to the point, it's all about the money, nothing to do with protecting peoples work. They want a cut of the profits these companies will make.
In that case so should open licences demand that they do not make profit from such content. In that case I believe the free AI will be much more useful, if of course people be aggressive back with this tit for tat.
Trtworld, can someone give more information?
Let me guess, Google didn't follow on one of the US's demands, now they're being targetted.
Iran, such a innocent country, the regime, victims of the evil west...
When I read the title I just imagined how society there is stuck in the medieval ages.. just a sad state of affairs..
As others have mentioned, others get far worse, being hung from cranes on a daily bases, most of them Kurds for seeking their freedoms.
This is like saying people enjoy breathing, this is why health insurance companies exist..
Agreed, people enjoy working, if by working you mean being productive, building, creating, especially inventing something.
You can have two worlds where in one there is manipulative people holding all the wealth, doing nothing or in another where it's fair.
Sometime ago someone decided it's easier to manipulate others to do something and a snowball effect occured.
This. Current title is misleading.
Some here asking who are or would still vote for them, well in their eyes, they don't want to feed YOUR kid(s), they believe their kids are well fed. Only when when they are in need will they have empathy.
Nice and all, but pretty pointless if you stay there after.
Sounds nice, can you tell me what they are exactly?
We often blame large companies for being oblivious to what their audience really wants; this is a large company trying to test the waters to better understand and produce what their audience really wants.
That's not what they're doing and that's not what is happening. You've not even read the comments or done your research before just blurting out "we often blame". People don't want the subscription service, in fact more paywall options seem to be being introduced.
Not against that. But different to what's happening here though.
Oops, corrected, thanks. Was thinking half a million, ended up typing 500 and then a million.
Philips has a net worth in the billions, $20.67 billion as of July 12, 2023. (Source link) Yet they decided to create a kickstarter, charging "early bird" buyers these earphones that's designed for wearing while sleeping, basically the same as any other earphones, just slimmed down and cables running around your head.
What's infuriating is that there's dumbasses who actually gave them money to make a product ($500k million in total), so Philips is most likely not taking any risk making this, but will enjoy the profits.
The kickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kokoon/sleep-headphones/posts
I thought the whole point of a kickstarter was people with a product, but lacking the funds to get the project actually going getting a kick start to get going.... Not for billion dollar companies to beg for cash.
Bought a cheap HP printer about 10 years ago, max usage is maybe 50 prints a month, most months maybe less than 10, most times 0. Sits there and indeed it's bloaty software is the most painful.
I recently switched to dark theme depending on the time and I would say the reason not to use dark themes entirely is you don't get the contrasts you can get with light themes, setting the mood and I guess 'theme'.
Maybe ironically with the prices dropping on these people will actually buy them..
