I think it’s valuable to make the distinction, whether it’s based on linux or not. Just like it’s valuable to make the distinction between unix and macOS.

Because despite all that sophistic nonsense, one of those allows an already too powerful corporation to extend its monopoly into the hardware realm, while reducing user agency.

Wasn’t it mostly ice?
I wouldn’t, the same way I wouldn’t lump the two Americas together.
Europe is a bit more hazy. What to do of Russia or Turkey?

Hm, the concept of Afroeurasia opens some interesting possibilities in extending the EU.

Eurasia is a single continent, the distinction between the two is cultural.

Did a little bit of digging on that one, before being bought by Bayer, the Cutter biological division was responsible for another pharmaceutical disaster. They accidentally (?) sold 120 000 doses of polio vaccines containing the live polio virus.

Intellectual property is intellectual theft.

Very skeptical of that one.
They’ve been trying to target amyloid for more than a decade, and it’s the first time I hear of it actually working.

The treatment seem to have huge side effects (brain bleeding and swelling) and lead to patient death during the study.
Elly Lilly is also know for marketing zyprexa as a treatment for dementia (despite inefficacy and increased risk of death). Which is IMO criminal, at best unethical. I’m not inclined to trust them at all.

I hope I’m wrong and it works. Alzheimer is a terrible way to go.

Don’t screen shot then, post the text. Or a txt. I think that conversation should be interesting.

Meta will face daily fines of €89,500 if it doesn’t comply with the order.

Bet they can write it off as expenses.

High quality sarcasm.

The language used is not going to harm people. The intent is, which was my point.

Read -> Parse the meaning -> React accordingly. Is a correct way to communicate.
Read -> React to trigger word -> Disregard meaning Is not. It’s just conditioned response.

If you do not think disagreement is a productive contribution, maybe you’re not looking for a discussion.

Unethical does not even begin to cut it. It’s firmly in horrifying territory for me.
If a construction company taxidermied their dead workers into animatronics and used those unholy puppets to perform the same job, it wouldn’t shock me more.

You should stop focusing on vocabulary and get your mind on intent, this is getting stupid.

Alternatively, the fall of Elon Musk was his way of getting Jack Ma’d, because money is not everything, and you can’t just buy yourself a tool of strategic value and expect no consequences.

Where I live it’s much more complete than google maps, especially in the countryside.

They can fingerprint your browser and (very) probably your hardware, along with ip, location, and other leaked data, allowing them to reliably identify you whether you’re logged in or not.
At this point, it’s more of a symbolic protest.

AI fear is going to be the trojan horse for even harsher and stupider ‘intellectual property’ laws.

A few things. How do we know it’s going to be Pegasus? How do you know the price, why is it so expensive (and why would anyone assume it to stay so)?

Because if it actually is Pegasus, the main problem with this bill isn’t surveillance (although it is most definitely a problem),
but the tacit endorsement of this unregulated infoweapon.

As the poet said: doubleplusungood.

This isn’t going to be regularly used.
