I don’t think these computers where designed in the Netherlands

dressing up in a costume -> hobby

harassing people -/-> hobby

the dissonance in these two posts

the ceo is just the effect, not the cause. the us laws allow such bullshit and do not protect the weak (at all). what this one ceo did was, like what many other ceo’s do, immoral but legal. you cant jail someone for legal stuff.

change the system and force them to adhere to modern moral standards. if they try to pull some bs now, it is quite easy to lock them away.

you are painting an oversimplified picture.

“i am sure you’d have preferred Gandhi to pick up a gun because he was met with violence?” we can chase eachother with such oversimplifications forever.

reality is much more complicated than such simple statements. so lets not use their inflammatory nature and focus on the actual problem. which, in that case seems, that people feel disbanded by sociaty to such a degree.

that’s a nice thought. however, life is not a hollywood movie, so i wouldn’t count on it.

no need be angry at steam. that is how it always has been. kudos to them to point it out very cleanly and not hiding it on page 400 of the 3rd EULA.

I know many of us don’t really like AI stuff. But it is just a door opener - and Mozilla needs funding like any company.

The product we sell at our company also has AI features. So far AI got us to talk to many more customers. So far none of them bought the AI stuff - even if in my opinion it would provide productivity increases. For us AI is a net positive: it cost us 2 weeks of writing gluecode, didnt sell at all, opened many doors for selling the main product.

150 - 200 m should not be a big problem for an average soldier with an AR and iron sights. Surely they would not aim for the head - which makes it easier too.

It really seems like we are looking at two sides of the same coin.

The coin has already ben tossed. Let’s see on which side it will land - I certainly hope it is the one you described.

I hear you. During the reddit exodus i left without having an alternative and stumbled upon lemmy much later. So i am fine going back to not having social media. However, a social network only survives if there is enough content. And if we are honest, lemmy barely has enough content.

Ill give you an example: I like climbing and there is !climbing@lemmy.ml with roughly 2 posts a month and !climbing@sh.itjust.works with less. I am happy to see something about my hobby twice a month. But all my friends still are on reddit, because two posts a month are not enough to them.

If you click on my profile, you will find 4 posts. I am a natural lurker, like most people on the internet, i read, vote and maybe comment. These posts, i made them because i wanted to add some content to this platform. While facebook is federated, there will be much more content. We can see theirs, they can see ours. Sounds like a win-win, right? But it may also make lemmings dependent on facebook content. If there is always more than enough content to endlessly scroll, I don’t need to upload my stuff to the network. However, if facebook pulls the plug after a long time, that leaves barely any content here and lemmy is basically dead.

I would probably still be around: Angrily clicking on some link about random big corpo, once a month smiling because someone shared a picture doing the same hobby as i. But for sure there are still people on old XMPP instances, while motivated dev’s reinvented XMPP: Matrix

from https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html :

In 2013, Google realised that most XMPP interactions were between Google Talk users anyway. They didn’t care about respecting a protocol they were not 100% in control. So they pulled the plug and announced they would not be federated anymore.

Basically keep people from using all the other platforms. Then stop supporting them. Similar like .docx never quite works in the open document editors. At least i refuse to believe that OSS devs are less skilled and motivated.

For yelling too loud.

They say ToxicWaste murdered that Salesman… with his voice! Shouted him apart!

I am glad i stopped playing after black flag. Now i remember assassin’s creed as a cool series.

Keep in mind that this graph shows core temperature. It is obvious to most but it should be written down.

Don’t want someone with little to no cooking experience look at this chart and put his huge turkey for a couple of seconds in the oven at 165°F / 74°C 😅

French, oublier: “to forget” or “to loose”. Also a medieval torture device. Look it up at your own risk.

They never said, that they are annoyied by other ppl liking/posting it. They don’t like it, so they block it in order to not see things they don’t enjoy.

Thats how the internet works. Roughly 95% on the internet is not your cup of tea - learn how to find your 5%.

Venice is a hard place. Pretty much every restaurant is a tourist trap. For good food it is better to have different appetizer sized things in bars and trattorias. Didn’t find a single sit down classical restaurant with good food for reasonable price.

This does not seem to be true. According to Wikipedia the Czech Republic has 9567 km of railways. This leaves them with a density of 0.121299336891 Railway/km².

Switzerland, which was listed as the densest in the Article, has 5317 km of railways. This leaves them with a density of 0.128787695288 Railway/km².

Keep in mind, that the dates of the data collection are 3 years apart (Czechia 2017, Switzerland 2020).
