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.

pretty sure those are the noisy minority. afterall more content drives more people. artificial walls wont benefit anyone…

linux is for sure the superior choice. still can’t understand why many public transport companies buy windows licenses to display simple departure times. some of them even seem to run separate machines for panels always displaying the same info…

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

I am not saying that throwing money at the problem solves it.

But if you want public services to also cover non-profitable areas/groups, the government needs to step in with certain measures.

The government needs to take over things which are not viable for the private sector, but important for society to work.

Lets say privatisation of public transport: In countries where it is completely private, only major cities have reasonable connections. Because those are the most profitable ones. But if you want people to actually use public transport, you need to have a fine and widely spread net of connections. For that to happen either the state completely owns the public transport, or takes off financial pressure and only partially owns it.

Exactly this mechanism enables (partially) state owned organizations to run suboptimal. As explained in the example, this is a desired effect. But it also enables memes like the lazy state employee - which are at least partially true.

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.

Well, I certainly hope you are right

I wish… Archeology shows, that people have been killing people since before proper tribes where formed. Call me a pessimist, but i don’t see a future where we truly learn to life peacefully.

They are desperate, frustrated, angry… They are human.

Neutrally looked at, a couple of french farmers and craftmen had no chance against the french military of 1789. But they where pushed to a point where they believed doing nothing is worse than dying trying. By chance they actually stormed the Bastille and kickstarzed a very dark chapter in french history.

Hurting people hurt people.

Shit rolls downhill.

All i am trying to say is that, sadly, being the opressed doesn’t mean you cant be an oppressor. The world is complex…

Otto is the best!

Neither of the two parties in the United States of America are actually left. Republicans are far right, Democrats are liberal and in the middle of the left/right spectrum.

I am sorry, but your comment does not make any sense. You call tankies fascist, which is derived from the italian Fasci: the members of the Italian national socialist party (Partito Nazionale Fascist). The german word for national socialism is Nationalsozialismus and members for short: NAZI

The modern day Chinese government is many things, but they are for sure not fascist. Even if socialism and national socialism have many things in common, they are the exact opposite of the extremism spectrum.

I think you are replying to the wrong comment

If people only would read history books and actually think about what they read… Instead it seems, most people around here just take their education from inglorious bastards.
