Nah it sucked. I was on it. It was just lemmy but with less features and with less content. It was dead the moment it started because it did nothing.

I don’t understand how they even think it could succeed.

Always have been the case but at least they were pretending publicly to care now it’s all in the open.

Yes but EU members are actually more culturaly diverse now than before EU was created. Most of main factors are not exactly EU related but just general growth and empire collapse but generally EU made small cultures much stronger through better economic conditions like grants and tourism etc.

I find it very apt that their brainless congress is shortened as NPC lmao

Finally some good fucking news. Now let’s make it so there’s no 2.0 3.0 etc constantly trying to sneak this in - we need to enshrine privacy into real laws.

Sure but you’d think they’d have a plan b or something for such an obvious threat they lobbied for getting into themselves.

Nah someone will bail us - let’s build more fake island shaped like flaccid cocks.

What do you mean you can hate both? Whats the other of your hates? Disregard for copyright absolutism?

No he’s not. Any nuke use by anyone would be completely geopolitical collapse and even americans would probably refuse the order.

To not starve?

Yes, in fact there’s no framework or legal precedent right now so everyone already is doing it. You can just scrape the web etc and disregard IP ownership because training AI is transformative work - as it should be.

Honestly I agree with Meta here but this should apply to everyone. I think most people here conflate their hate for Meta with the factual reality of intellectual property.

Epstein literally emailing that “it’s easier to pick up things on the way to collapse than find the next bargain”. He was 100% stoking qanon and all crazies and he’s likely not the only one with power who thinks this way.

It’s becoming clear that there’s an immense value in destruction given you have the power to short stuff and it’s not even a secret anymore. How do we even fix something like this…

It’s hilarious that trump cult is so incompetent it can’t even sabotage itself. Reality feels like satire of itself these days.

Nope, I’m not an american and oracle is really not that well known outside of american corporate tech.

Mysql and Java were very big in Europe but as developer you don’t really interact with Oracle at all and even then everyone’s using openjdk since early 2010s so really if you’re not working in american enterprise you never even going to encounter Oracle’s name let alone interact with them.

My only interaction was calling their support trying to explain what a debit card is because Oracle is so brokenly american that they don’t understand the difference between debit and credit.

Slab phone is solved tech already and this is the time where we can vote for more ethical solutions without really losing anything. The newest fairphone is basically just a standard android flagship.

All is justified if it gave us Thinkpad 🙂‍↕️

Tesonet is pretty well known as one of the biggest tech company in the baltics region so obviously they do a lot of different tech.

VPN itself is mostly harmless and can’t intercept e2e encrypted traffic and today even DSN is under e2e.

The only red flag is really the inaccurate advertising that vpn protects from public wifi issues which is on page with every VPN ad (except Mullvad) but still wrong.

At least IBM used to be cool and gave us things like SQL, DRAM and Thinkpads. Other than Java kits I couldn’t name a single useful initiative from Oracle. They just take existing inventions and shuffle enterprise papers.

I’ve been a software engineer for over 20 years now and tbh I couldn’t tell you even if my life depended on it. I know it’s a shit tier hosting service that people use because they offer 5$ worth virtual server for free with a valid credit card but that’s about it.

It’s one of those ancient paper shuffling IT companies that is 95% sale/middle mamager leeches, 5% wizard engineers carrying everything on their shoulders.

Not even remotely the same thing OP is claiming. It’s their own windows flavor version with auto start script. It’s bad but not that bad.
