How is it military propaganda? The plot is about a private military contractor destroying an ecosystem for profit, while there is nothing but good things being said about the way of life of the Na’vi.

Technology@lemmy.world•Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdogEnglish
7·3 days agoI know they aren’t left, that’s why I wrote “left of the tories”. They are centrist and how Starmer ever managed to become prime minister is beyond me. That guy as a suit through and through.

281·3 days agoI’m baffled that all this tracking nonsense is pushed through by a government that is supposed to be left of the tories. I guess that goes to show you that “center” parties can be just as evil as conservatives.

No more FemShep on Liara action, that’s banned now. Future ME games will only feature the Quarrians, because they are already “veiled”.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump renames U.S. Institute of Peace after himselfEnglish
6·17 days agoYou think that republicans will try to make it a taboo to talk about any conflict between entities Trump “brokered a peace with” as a war, as to keep up the myth of Trump actually ending those conflicts? And do you think Democrats will be so weak that they’ll just let the Republicans do that?

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Mastodon has a new plan to make money: Hosting and support services for the open social webEnglish
751·3 months agoI think that sounds like a really good idea, if you want to get corporate- and government hosted instances on board. What keeps most of them away from free software is that they can’t write a contract with anyone with clear boundaries and guarantees. If Mastodon offers these types of contracts, it would help the adoption rate.
psst it’s "too tired".

He is right, but most will choose convenience. And I do believe that people in the future will suffer for it. The brain is like a muscle; you have to use it to keep your mind sharp. I fear that in the future will lack critical thinking or frustration tolerance because AI makes it so easy.
That will happen to most “artforms” or jobs that require research. I notice that on myself as well. I now ask an AI for regex stringsor when I want to implement a function I’m unsure about, I ask an AI to see what they are doing first. Critical thinking is still involved, but less than it used to.

But the military doesn’t care. Jake is still in a wheelchair at the start of the movie. Only by accepting a highly dangerous mission, infiltration, is he given the promise of having his old legs restored. And he is only given this job, because his brother passed away and left the Na’vi clone behind. So they are not offering this to any crippled army veteran. And yes, there are some good apples in the military. They turn on the military.
