Every time i see big cats in zoos (😢), or on TV or whatever, i think “so cute!”…

If i ever saw one in real life, i would say “awwww, kitty!!! 😍” just before being mauled to death…

Finland already has very good datacenter companies, as one would expect…

I moved my VPS to a finnish company almost 10 years ago before data sovereignty was cool

I only learned about it 3 weeks ago… trying to keep it alive

I’M DOING MY PART

imagine would would happen if this money went to the workers instead…

where do you think the money went? I imagine a lot of it went to workers salaries…

[sweating profusely] Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!

Do you really think he’s the only american politician with these imperialist goals? Do you think he thought of all these ideas himself?

if trump dies, there are dozens of replacements ready to step in and continue these insane policies… amerikkka is rotten to the core. Killing one dude isnt going to fix that

They underestimated how much we drink

If you live far from the city center, you might just have to get an outdoor antenna. I used one for many years before moving into the city.

Local tv can still be received over antenna, even on modern, fancy TVs

Not a dentist, but isnt the root cause of a lot of our dental problems, the loss of gums and the inability of our stupid gums to heal and grow back?

Its not “secretly” if you can find the information through Freedom of Information act.

These people arent even trying to hide it anymore

Entire generation: [looks at step 1] “… nah…”

No, the endgame is for all the compute power to be in the cloud, and you rent time on their servers.

Everyone will just be running thin clients at home, with subscriptions if they need to do anything more than send an email

I dont understand the purity tests we are putting artists through

AI is just a tool. It can be used correctly to assist in making a gopd product, or a lazy artist can make slop (a lazy artist will produce crap regardless AI or not)

If its wrong to use AI to make filler material, then is speedtree wrong for allowing environmental artists to take a shortcut and not have to hand craft every tree in their game world?

like, minus all the plagarism and energy use issues. If wre are speaking strictly of artistic integrity or whatever, i dont see the problem in using AI to assist artists (as opposed to outright replacing them)

Sublime - Smoke Two Joints

It’s a song. Go have a listen on whatever music service you use

Wowwwww… cant believe i missed it. Thanks

i really don’t understand all these people on .ml (who clearly aren’t chinese) bootlicking for china

look, i’m a “communist” as well… i hate capitalism, blah blah blah… you guys are right about so many things. china is great, the west fucking sucks. i 100% agree…

but i don’t understand why it has to extend to, “ALL criticism of china is invalid”… china has a clear objective of unifying the nation and the culture. and that means pushing out the non-han minorities such as the uyghur people.

is this achieved through extreme violence? of course not. that’s barbaric and not-subtle.

china knows how to play the long game. decades if needed. the west doesn’t see anything beyond a 4 year election cycle…

Nobody ever accused china of bombing cities and murdering children. You’re thinking of israel.

Genocide can take forms other than bombing and starvation.

Residential school system in Canada is considered a form of genocide on the native population. We dont have to literally bomb them out of existence to be considered a bad thing

I’ve never heard of any of these western sources you’re citing…

I do have uyghur friends though. Are they fake too?

Nobody is your friend… but at least proton isnt logging your data and selling ads into your inbox… that’s good enough for me…

Check your threat model… 90% of people arent doing direct action that needs protection from nation states… and proton isnt big enough to protect you from nation states. (pretty sure they tell you that they have to comply with legal, swiss laws)

Stop trying to scare people into going back to gmail… there will always be flaws in proton/tuta/whatever mail service…

Go try running your own email if you truly need perfect privacy and anonymity
