Wouldn’t that just allow Trump to install one of his puppets?

Interesting, so how did they feel when Elon did the “Roman salute”? Romans basically walked around in skirts as well…

Ah well, I think reason left the US long ago.

Naive Dutch guy here: can’t you just refuse the receipt? Here they ask you if you want the receipt, and you can simply say: No, thank you.

How will you build wealth without mortgages and just paying cash? Then most people wouldn’t be able to afford to buy a home, they would always be slaves to rent. No mortgages plays right into the hand of the wealthy few that can exploit the renters.

The way I see it, there are two types of developers we should take into consideration for this discussion:

• Software Engineers
• Code editors

Most “programmers” these days are really just code editors, they know how to search stack overflow for some useful pointers, copy that code and edit it to what they need. That is absolutely fine, this advances programming in so many ways. But the software engineers are the people that actually answer the stack overflow questions with detailed answers. These engineers have a more advanced skillset in problem solving for specific coding frameworks and languages.

When people say: programmers are cooked, I keep thinking that they mean code editors, not software engineers. Which is a similar trend in basically all industries in relation with AI. Yes, AI has the potential to make some jobs in health care obsolete (e.g. radiologist), but that doesn’t mean we no longer need surgeons or domain expert doctors. Same thing applies to programming.

So if you are a developer today, ask yourself the following: Do actually know my stuff well, am I an expert? If the answer is no, and you’re basically a code editor (which again, is fine), then you should seriously consider what AI means for your job.

I’m curious: why?

Removing IP law just feels like it would only benefit those with the resources to scale new technology quickly. It basically kills all start ups.

edit: word

Well, not banned explicitly, they just didn’t pass the safety regulations all vehicles must adhere to. Main issue is pedestrian safety, due to the sharp edges of the panels.

For clarity: I despise everything about Trump.

But celebrating the 250th anniversary of the army is a logical thing to do. Most countries around the world, even democracies, would do that. Look at for example the parades in France.

The thing Trump is doing wrong in this scenario is that he makes it about him. He is having a parade for his birthday, not the 250th birthday of the army. Fucking narcissist.

This is infuriating, but what surprises me more is that Netanyahu seems to be fine with it? Seriously? He romanticizes the holocaust?

I know some Israeli are protesting on the streets, but this type insult should be met with country wide demonstration, right?

This isn’t as much about the social media platforms, competing with those is relatively feasible. This is more about the professional infrastructure market. Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud. There isn’t really a European competitor there, the US dominates this market. We have a huge trade deficit on these services, which Trump “conveniently” didn’t include in his trade war analysis.

Basically the only reason I read the article is to know if they needed a “backdoor” in encryption, guess the don’t need it, like everyone with a little bit of IT knowledge always told them.

There are ways you can set up a smart home without subscriptions, for instance using Home Assistant. But most people somehow chose to be stuck in these cloud apps with subscriptions. Ring, with a subscription for a doorbell, is wild to me.

I’m curious: the USA wants to dominate the final frontier, how will they ensure a civilization can thrive without woman in those new settlements?

Anyways, the idea is horrific and stupid, let’s hope the US implodes.

That’s bad and all, but: They are using Signal?!

Wouldn’t that need another change in 4 years time, if Trump manages to get two consecutive terms himself? (For argument sake, regardless of his age).

How is the company fucking me, if I enjoy playing the game and get my money’s worth?

Perhaps Linux isn’t the right operating system, but it’s competing with Windows, which is more or less a jack of all trades. Linux today isn’t a jack of all trades, mostly a niche solution. That is fine, but we can then not pretend it’s for everyone.

Meanwhile, I’ll keep trying with Linux, hoping one day it will be the jack of all trades and I can seamlessly use it.

Just pointing why it’s not as easy. People don’t want to go cry at game devs/companies that Linux is not supported. They just want a plug and play solution. It’s like telling people to buy a different brand of car, but they cannot use it on the same roads they usually drive and then say: “go cry to get that resolved”. No, I’m not going to take a different route home, I will just use the car that makes my life easier.

This, if the so called Tesla fans even drive the car, they know all of the above is more or less true. Newer cars have fewer of these issues, but the camera based Auto Pilot system is still in place. The car doesn’t even allow you to use cruise control under certain circumstances, because the car deems visibility too poor. The camera also only detects rain when its pouring, every other situation it will just randomly engage/disengage.

I drive a Tesla Model 3 (2024) daily and I wouldn’t trust the car driving itself towards a picture like that. It would be an interesting experiment to have these “Tesla Fans” do the same experiment and use a concrete wall for some additional fun. I bet they won’t even conduct the experiment, because they know the car won’t detect the wall.

The problem is that Linux is only ready in certain cases. For me, it isn’t there yet, because I can’t use it for my gaming machine. Every time this is brought up, Linux enthusiast shrug it off as “no big deal”, you can game on Linux, just the games that use kernel level anti-cheat won’t work. Well yeah, that’s a bit the issue, I still like to play some of those games you see?

Meanwhile, I have Linux Mint running on a laptop that I bring on vacation. I don’t game on that one. Then Linux works just as well as any other OS, no issue.

I’d probably be all right, Tyria looks nice this time of year. At least as long as the Charr play along.
