On one hand I agree that today, the easiest solution is freetube or similar.

However, this problem seems to become "unsolved" every other Wednesday.

On one hand, I imagine the administration is treating these documents with the utmost care.

On the other hand, it sounds like thousands of people have been involved in handling them.

There are probably dozens of people with their own copies, ready for use as blackmail.

There's probably some commentary, but there's no list of criminal charges.

I do feel like these idiots should be thrown under the bus, and punished to the full extent of the law. I really do hope they're held accountable for their wanton destruction.

That said, I can imagine some college graduates going along with something like this simply because they don't have the life experience to really understand the legal, political, and social ramifications of what they're doing.

I'm trying to parse this but I just don't get it.

The only explanation I can come up with is simply that Trump identifies Mamdani as a popular democratically elected official, and wants to share some of that sunshine.

Still weird as hell.

This seems obvious to me. By definition, an ecosystem includes all inputs.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 1 points 1 day ago

That's true, but it doesn't respond to the point I was making.

The comment I replied to was comparing an entire system to a single component within a system.

I don't think that's a fair comparison.

An ecosystem contains many species at equilibrium, but the ecosystem itself consumes all available resources.

Similarly, companies within a capitalist system maintain a kind of equilibrium, but the system itself will consume all available resources.

I'm honestly kinda surprised that Google is apparently not in fact doing this already and (according to the comments here) continues to not do so.

Ironically, life generally has those cancer cell characteristics.

Is there any population of anything that will self govern it's resource consumption? Or is all life limited by resources and / or predation?

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Hyperbole, surely.

What the hell is going on here?
