And 80% of his cycling team

Either this or a fairphone would be an instant buy from me if they were smaller. Modern phones dont fit into my pockets comfortably anymore

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

minimum of 4 years of Android version updates and 5 years of security updates.

*if we dont go bankrupt

meetings where they say “nothing to add on my end” don’t count towards that total.

I feel personally attacked… i’m not a rich exec and yet half my week is bullshit meetings where i end up saying “nothing to add” when its my turn after an hour of listening to sales directors/execs jerk each other off… it’s the execs that set up those meetings, not the workers…

are you saying my hours in bullshit meetings should be unpaid?

also, if we didnt just let these multinational oil companies just siphon off all the profits and leave messy orphaned wells for the public to clean up, albertans would be better off

If we had started a sovereign wealth fund like norway, instead of shipping all the profits overseas, we would all be better off…

I would actually support oil and gas if it actually benefitted the nation.

Canada got rid of the british, but not the corporations that are the true colonizers still extracting from the land and the people and sending the wealth overseas

My net worth is probably a lot to those clueless wonders who carelessly throw numbers around. I’m utterly opposed to the fascists in power and want them not only removed, but to face justice, and for the system to be reformed to prevent them ever getting power again.

yep… a lot of lemmy thinks that if you have a stock portfolio, you’re automatically some rich republican voter…

like i get it… a lot of people are struggling REALLY bad… but we must not fracture ourselves based on different tiers of “working class”

a doctor making $500k, with $2M in assets and investments is ALSO working class… fighting amongst ourselves is just crab-bucket mentality and exactly what the billionaire class wants us wasting energy on.

there is no war, but class war

According to lemmy, anyone with a retirement fund and able to go on even one vacation a year, is not working class… anyone who owns their home, and basically has a net worth over $1M, is not working class…

This kind of mentality completely works against the class consciousness we need to be building…

Hell, we need to be getting people with $5M net worth on board with us (i’m just throwing arbitrary number out). The target shouldnt be the 1% anymore… it’s the 0.1%

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!

ICE is full of military veterans…

Despite the moral flaws of American military, many US soldiers will feel bad about invading a clearly peaceful and democratic country.

US troops arent even bothered about invading their own cities and killing people on home soil… what makes you think they would think twice about invading and killing foreigners?

i was thinking of ramstein air base, and “du hast” popped into my head

Yeah, i never thought of that. All EU countries should expel the US troops and seize the bases and hardware

(now Rammstein is playing in my head…)

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?

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)

I’ve been re-using ziploc bags for years. Just wash them.
