  • Thank you for reading and having an open mind. I just wish more commenters are like you.

    Now you can see how Ukraine, using its popularity, can easily manipulate the perception of their country at the same time building negative narrative about this bad neighbor Poland that only wants to hurt their relations. What is their goal? To isolate Poland in international politics?

    Sadly (or luckily?), Polish president-elect words, as quoted in this context, is not far-right nationalist rhetoric, it’s literally the opposite. Now you see how easy it is to misinterpret that (just look at other comments).

    You can also see, with this historical context, what Putin meant saying his special military operation is for denazifiacation of Ukraine (but we are not that stupid to fall for this).






  • And it did not occur to you to disconnect the siren? :D

    I don’t know what country you are from and what you use but you are extremely overestimating the level of complexity of these “security devices”.

    Everything is clearly described in installation and service manuals. Everything is available from the manufacturer. You can install these systems DIY if you’d like. Disconnection of a sensor is a security event which triggers alarm no matter if it was armed or not. How to handle this is described in manual. The shitty support that couldn’t handle it speaks volumes about their competence.

    The service codes which should be unique to each client and installation are reused on every system that given contractor installs. After a brief gig my brother had as a technician, he knew service codes for all banks and jeweleries in the radius of 150km… That disarms the alarm at wish and can modify settings :)

    And you are worried that you might compromise the security by DIYing it? :)



  • One of President Donald Trump’s top officials has warned European allies hesitant about working with Elon Musk’s satellite Internet company that they needed to choose between US and Chinese technology.

    Oh they can go fuck themselves and choose between Chinese Huawei and Korean Samsung for their terrestrial cellular networks, thank you very much. Ericsson and Nokia are European and we have technology required for low orbit direct to mobile cell networks.

    Want to piss them off even more? Remind them that they have sold Alcatel Lucent and Bell Labs to Nokia.


  • It already started happening before LLM AI. Have you heard the joke that we were teaching our parents how to use printers and PCs with mouse and keyboard and now we have to do the same with our children? It’s really not a joke. We are the last generation that have seen it all evolving before our eyes, we know the fundamentals of each layer of abstraction the current technology is built upon. It was natural process for us to learn all of this and now suddenly we expect “fresh people” to grasp 50 years or so of progress in 5 or so years?

    Interesting times ahead of us.








  • Look up “spółdzielnie mleczarskie” in Poland. https://pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spółdzielnia_mleczarska

    Milk cooperative? Is this how it translates?

    Sorry for not translating the whole Wikipedia article, but TLDR this is how high quality dairy is produced in Poland, where everyone from smallest to larger farms can cooperate and coexist.

    30 years ago there was even this now non-existent elaborate network of milk collection and delivery (we have shops now :p) - every morning there was a transport organized through every small or large village where everyone farmer even with only one cow could sell the milk. As the number of such farmers went rapidly down this has stopped being done.

    Of course you can still find big corp dairy products in the stores (Nestle? Danone?) but they have a hard time competing and I am not sure but they still might buy their supplies from polish cooperatives.
