Putin would love nothing more than a broken un-united Europe, easy to pick them off one by one

I wonder what caused that to happen 🤔

That is the problem though, isn’t it?

We’re at a point that AI is shoved hard in everything and your mother, yet actual useful applications for AI barely get any attention.

It’s all about the useless and criminal like chat bots, nudifier apps, and the hilarious claims that AI really can do software development

It’s all pushed by lying psychopaths who convince empty headed politicians (seriously, we need a required IQ test or something for people who want to become politician) to invest billions in their bubble balloons.

Those billions are them used to build new datacenters that nobody wants and which destroy the environment in all sorts of creative ways

This is not a tool used wrong. This is somebody inventing guns and now everybody wants to shoot those guns at everything and your mother.

If tomorrow AI and the knowledge we have about it would completely disappear from the world, it would be a better place.

None of that seems very hard

Find other people and invest with a group. You’ll end up with loads of companies with lots of small shareholders. If your shares become worth souch that you go over the 10M, you’ll have to sell some or have some taxes for taxes.

Maybe have governments fund independent investment foundations that can help setup startups

This isn’t even a utopia, it’s literally current capitalism with a small set of core rules added that will make a huge difference between now and how it could be.

It could be that nobody has to be poor anymore. Governments will have huge incomes so loads of money for socialist projects like free education and healthcare and housing.

The few problems I’ve seen mentioned so far, to me, are literally details that follow from the core rules.

Nobody can be worth more than X (and for now, say that X is 10M) and companies cannot be worth more than Y (let’s say 1 billion dollars). Both values can be +/- 5% if you hover at the limit, that doesn’t really matter much. What does matter is that we’re now finally all equal and still have capitalism as the core engine, allowing for all the freedoms we have today

Aren’t both of those just the eventual outcomes for lack of regulation?

Responding 2 months after I posted this and still you managed to get it removed by a mod in under 4 hours. What fucked up things did you write there, buddy?

Family guy

You want companies to stop supporting and using your shitty standard? Because that is how you get customers ntonstop using your standard and by extension, your companies

Europe isn’t a nation, it’s a group of nations and there is a big reason to support it now

Yeah, half of your fantasy just won’t happen

For one, you can’t really develop nukes in secret. Nukes are hard to build, very hard. Then detonating one in a war is also a really bad idea because it’s basically the end of at least your country, maybe all countries

Yeah, Europe is under attack for sure, but it won’t be THAT easy

So now the Republicans want to destroy Europe?

What exactly did Europe do wrong this time? Refused to buy their shitty chickens?

From the article:

Satya Nadella is burning decades of customer good will chasing the latest tech fad.

I’d disagree with hat sentiment. I’d put it as Microsoft is finally giving people the final push they needed to break the Microsoft chain they had around their ankles.

Nobody uses Microsoft products because they’re the best, they never were, they never will be. Microsoft is the VHS of the video tapes, it is as big as it is due to deception, marketing, and force. L

Let this be the obligatory “install Linux already” post, but I’m saying it as “switch everything away from US vendors to open source” as they all have turned evil and corrupt. Open source software is the only software left that can still give users what they need in a fair way.

Install Linux, setup some nextcloud instance, break that fucking Microsoft chain

Yet everyone uses it.

It because it’s great, it’s the absofuckinglutely worst of the worst, but they got key players to use it, the rest is forced into it with their closed off ecosystem.

There is a reason why Microsoft web products work so much worse oninix than they do on windows, and it’s exactly what you think: sabotage. Word drops half of the text you type? Must be a Firefox issue, no? Yeah no, change the user agent to say you’re edge on windows and all of the sudden it works. Still shittily, but it works as shittily as it does on windows.

When you feel the need to sabotage your already badly working products just to force your customers to stay with you, it really does show that you’re just full of shit

Fuck Microsoft

The other interesting tidbit from this:

Things get dire when US carmakers enter the fray. All but one of the bottom ten brands in the list are American. The best of the worst was Chevrolet at a score of 40. But Tesla makes that failing grade seem respectable with its absolute rock bottom rating of 31, trailing Jeep by just one point.

That is because everything American has been shit since forever with all the lack rules and regulations, but in the last decade, things really have gone off a cliff

Nice to know I’m not the only one

I don’t know why I’m still on connect, haven’t had the time yet to jump elsewhere, but I’ve been quite annoyed with the “save any image freezes the app” bug while the devs keep saying it’s me, my phone, etc.

I’ve had this bug on three different phones now, it keeps happening, I can’t ever save images with it

As I already wrote 5 minutes ago in a different post on the same subject, fuck all people involved in this. All those involved.shpuld be jailed at least for a year

Whoever signed off in this, both on the parts of shell and that museum, should all be jailed, at least for a year, and I’m not kidding

This is such a transparent and obvious attempt to subverse kids minds with a narrative that will destroy the world, but it will make the CEO a lot of money!

Fuck all of you, especially the ones at the museum; Shells execs are evil phychopaths, what is your excuse?

it’s time

It’s time? It should never have started in the first place, corporations are obviously not people, but Americans in their never ending wisdom of thinking they’re the best in the world at everything have been letting corruption slide into their government for the past 5 decades and their country is now at the point where it’s way, WAY worse than classical corrupt countries.

They actually saw lawmakers and judges deciding that corporations can be people, but only when it suits them (can’t have corporate CEOs go to jail for the crimes of his corporation now, can we?) and they did nothing

So European countries are dropping out while the non European Israel can continue.

Mmmmm, one wonders how that happened. One also wonders if these people that decided to boycott Eurovision over this are antisemitesor just people with a heart.

Fuck the Israeli government.

Jail Netanyahu, retreat all your forces back into Israel, allow an independent Palestinian state, pay reparations to Palestine state, beg all Palestinians forgiveness for your 5+ decades crimes, then beg the world for forgiveness for calling everyone that protested their crimes and antisemite, and then maybe maybe maybe they should be allowed back into the world.
