Yes, the model will need the data. They have a good page about this.

In the video scheduled to be posted on YouTube apparently there were more elements (talked about their own dressing style and not feeling either a man or a woman - according to some articles which translated the pages in russian).

I think this is overall irrelevant anyway. In their manifesto they go all over the place ideologically, from holocaust praise to trans rights, apparently. It's not like there was a consistent motivation behind, they were clearly unwell mentally - reporting depression and suicidal thoughts for years - and did the shooting to be killed.

In this case I am quite happy to be out of the loop, frankly. I can live in blissful ignorance of at least this stuff.

I feel completely out of the loop when stuff like this happens.

I went looking around and found an article that expanded a lot on this topic, https://maxread.substack.com/p/who-killed-jean-pormanove

What does ChatGPT have to do with this...? This is what FP themselves say https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/9836188988049-Audio-Jack-3-5mm

I have a FP3 with a jack, for reference. It doesn't have an IP rating. FP4 has IP54, FP5/6 both have IP55. Also yes, phones have become bigger, but they have more stuff inside. More cameras, for example.

I mean, the jack is literally a hole in the chassis of the phone, while I cannot exclude the fact that someone managed to make a design with good IP rating, I can very easily see that it makes it much harder.

Exactly my thoughts too. Lots of theory about why it won't work, but not looking at the fact that if people use it, maybe it does work, and when it won't work, they will stop using it.

The cost is a tiny aspect. There is the space issue and the physical issue. Jacks are holes where dust and water come in, making it harder to make devices resistant and as durable as they can be.

This is contradicting the neoliberal mantra, that it is totally the individuals fault and thereby justified.

Sorta. But anyway, neoliberalism is far from the only oppressive ideology.

Also Islam with its prohibition of interest is incompatibile with capitalism

I really don't think so. Interests are not really a foundational pillar of capitalism. Private property of means of production is.

obey God

And did god (or gods) speak to them? Or there is always a translation layer that includes other people; prophets, messiahs, clergy, shamans, visionaries, etc.? Still a hierarchy. Still a means of control. Who decides what the gods say controls people. That's exactly the problem with religion.

About the soviet union and other antireligious countries: there are multiple ideologies that can lead to oppression. I am definitely not going to say that without religion oppression wouldn't exist. I am saying that religion is an enabler for it.

Derubricating everything to the "external" imperial forces is dismissive and forgets centuries of violent history, including those of Muslim empires. Islam, like most religions is bigoted, intolerant and barbaric.

A common argument is that Jesus would be a socialist by todays definitions

And that's nonsense.

I agree with you that the institutionalization is an issue, but that is an issue of the particular institutions, not the religion itself.

No, I think it's actually religion and religious thinking specifically the problem. Institutionalized religion is just the natural consequence of the issue.

Religion is fundamentally a reactionary ideology because it prescribes an external entity (or entities) which decided how things should be. This deresponsibilizes people and inherently justifies the existing. All the religious emancipation still happens under the umbrella of a reality that has to work in a certain way.

For example, most religions tend to accept suffering and poverty as a given, as a test or as something that in general is by design. Assigning virtue to being oppressed (like in case of some Christian messages) is far from a revolutionary stance, it's a tool aimed at controlling those who are oppressed.

If in millennia every religion ever has been used to crystalize a power hierarchy in humanity (from the clergy to caste systems), maybe there is a reason. And the reason is that religious thinking and mindset inherently enables these hierarchies.

So accommodating and tolerant. Many countries have the death penalty for apostates, in others it might be technically legal but you would still face harassment from police and general institutions. Isn't this wonderful?

Classic overcorrection I have seen many times: western countries have mostly a Christianity problem, and to counter the bigotry, racism and intolerance, progressive people take the defense of other barbaric, intolerant and bigot religions.

This is especially frustrating when it comes from a leftist perspective. Religion is a form of institutionalized control and oppression, and as such is a fundamental enemy of the working class.

The weather man? I think he fit very well. Same for Lord of War. I know they are both 20 years old, but still.

Yeah, this is also an option, but I have to say that I had friends over just a few weeks ago who brought sweaters when they saw the forecast at around 20C (against my recommendations), and they all were surprised by how warm it was despite the temperature (which in Italy is spring-like).
