sva_ is right and you're wrong. 273 of 2884 pictures show women under 30, the vast majority are men. Note that the "of 2884" doesn't change when you modify the filter settings. I didn't measure whether it took me more than half a minute to figure that out.

> a cheap android phone would undoubtedly also come with google preinstalled
Plenty of Android phones don't come with Google preinstalled.
> thus cache/AMP access to Wikipedia
Even if you have Google on your phone, that doesn't mean you won't need a paid data plan to actually use it.
> I don't think a telecoms company or phone manufacturer could reliably restrict the ever changing landscape of internet access without affecting usability and social media consumption
But that's the point? If you want better usability, you're expected to pay for full internet access.
> all these kids had were Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and TikTok, everything else costs ~10$
I don't think any of those four products includes free VPN. You'd need to tunnel Wikipedia through WhatsApp instead, or something.
> The reason it's pulled isn't java vs kot: It's refusing to use the modern APIs that are required for it to function on Android 11+.
That's not a reason to pull an app. It's a reason to tell users of Android 11+ that the app isn't compatible with their device, but everyone else should still be able to install it.
The KDE Connect → global Android clipboard direction still works like before (I think; my phone is rooted but I didn't do anything special to KDE Connect). In the other direction there's the "Send clipboard" button which is good enough for my needs.

It's a very good article. You should read it. Especially if you disagree with the title.

I think it's better to treat that post as part of the protest (someone supporting the message of the video imagining how it spreads far and wide) than as a reliable source on things like traffic figures (which, realistically, even the authorities can't know because of all the different copies floating around).
> If voting differently doesn't make a difference, then why vote? Is it actually a democracy if elections don't have any impact?
It's not that elections don't have an impact, they do, but you shouldn't expect that impact to manifest itself as large swings in aggregate statistics, for two reasons:
1. Those statistics measure the aggregate behavior of many individuals, most of which are not elected officials but ordinary people. Unless the government adopts a command economy and micromanages everything, they have only limited influence on what ordinary people are doing.
2. The people voting in each election are mostly the same and they're not going to suddenly vote all that differently.
If you want to know what kind of impact an election outcome had, look at things the government influences directly, where there are widely divergent opinions on what to do, and where the election coincides with a change in which opinion has majority support.
Maybe they tried to send a second message, but it got blocked by a spam filter.
> The traditional blogosphere has always been an outlet for a sort of amateur public intellectual that simply isn't that common in China
It may not be common, but China makes up for it with a large population, so there are a lot of amateur public intellectuals in terms of absolute numbers.
And they blog. On Weibo, WeChat, Zhihu, Jianshu, ... Most readers probably come across an article by being subscribers or having someone they know send it to them or because the platform pushed it.
So pretty similar to Western social media. What's missing for the classic blogosphere feel is probably really just the discoverability across platforms.
Every platform wants to trap as many eyeballs and as much content as possible, so in the end they're all siloed off from each other. Responding across silo boundaries does happen, but tends to involve embedded screenshots instead of links, which makes it a bit harder to discover other people writing on the same topic, so each writer ends up as a bit of a silo as well.
Not many upvotes are needed to get to the front page. But if it doesn't keep getting more, it won't stay for long.
Or "Huáng" (黄) or "Ruǎn" (阮) or maybe something else, depending on what the actual surname is and where they're from. (阮 is also the Chinese character for the Vietnamese surname Nguyễn.)

Nerfs are not svgs.
Consider taking a nerf and applying a box blur. Easy, a box blur on voxel data takes multiple samples within a box and averages them together, so to do the same thing to a nerf just take multiple samples and average them together.
That does get slower the more samples you need, but you never have to materialize a full voxel representation.
> Working with simple voxel data let’s you do all kinds of normal image manipulation techniques, and it’s not clear how you would do some of those with a nerf.
Any image transformation you can do on voxels you can straightforwardly transfer to nerfs. Voxel data is just a lookup table from discrete positions to material properties like color and density. When you apply a transform, you change the inputs (e.g. multiplying them with a rotation matrix) or the outputs (e.g. changing the color). If you want to do the same thing with a nerf that maps continuous positions and directions to material properties like color and density, just transform the inputs or the outputs.
The major difference is that with voxel data you can easily do output-modifying transformations directly on the stored representation, while for nerfs it might be cheaper to do it on the fly instead of redoing the training procedure to bake the change into the model.
Maybe not stop completely, but certainly in some contexts, e.g. when using machine translation to produce text in a language you can passively understand but don't have a large active vocabulary in.
Which I did just yesterday by putting the text I wanted to convey into Google Translate and then tweaking it until the translation looked reasonable. In the end, I still had to postprocess the output a bit, but I ended up with something which I couldn't have written if starting from scratch, which was entirely worth the small pain of using slightly less colorful language.
Those particular Russians that would be fed with Chinese ration packs are currently in Ukraine, shooting at Ukrainians and getting shot at in return. They're unlikely to starve, but they might desert if the army can't feed them anymore.
You should also check out the list of wars involving Sweden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Sweden and notice the large overlap recently. That Sweden isn't part of the defensive alliance doesn't mean they don't participate in NATO offenses.
