disappointing but not that strange. we love to criticize the usa all the time, but when they want something, we kneel and start licking the boots…

isn’t it fun how every major operating system is vibe coded now

windows is an unstable mess, macos’s new ui is the most broken it’s been in decades, and linux is getting one new vulnerability per day. the future is exciting!

there have always been some who cried wold every time new technology has become available, like calculators and computers

and they kinda have a point, really. people got worse at memorizing stuff by heart when writing was invented, and people got worse at mental calculus when calculators when invented.

but they allowed many things that were simply not possible. a calculation that takes me 2 minutes in wolfram alpha could take hours if not days to solve by hand!

ai, meanwhile, or at least the ai we’re sold, does not offer significant advantages (at best it saves a few minutes), at the cost of making us worse at thinking, a skill that is absolutely essential to have… and of course, that’s the point. the tech oligarchs want us to be dependent on their extremely expensive products.

even without that there are people who will be forced to use this, like kids of religious parents

the iran regime killed one billion islamillion people. look, i have a source: www.blog.palantir.com/please-just-one-more-war-please-i-beg-you-613127

not exactly a competitor since it’s a music marketplace, not a streaming service, but bandcamp does not allow ai-generated music

what, are you not excited for the epic new trustworthy european startup Le Nexus du Tourment?

bad news, ladybird is all in on slop too

but servo should be fine, in fact right now they have an explicit anti-ai policy!

back when i still dual-booted windows, one time i hadn’t used it in ~2 months, and the automatic update was so big it kept crashing my shitty wifi

i literally could not use windows with the internet on or else it would crash trying to download the updates…

pathetic fascist sympathizers, so they can get the news straight from the horse’s ass

war special military operation with burkina faso in 3… 2… 1…

reparations are a form of wealth redistribution.

do you think taxing billionaires is “collective punishment”? but, oh no, what if some of them inherited that wealth 🥺 it would be so unfair to punish them by taking it away 🥺 all of that for what, the crime of being born into wealth? oh no, those poor, poor billionaires 🥺

oh a lot of americans on lemmy are already very upset lmao

the states would be paying those reparations, not the people individually

european states should pay reparations to the nations they colonized and enslaved, and colonial states (the usa, canada…) should pay reparations to their colonized populations.

canada, australia and new zealand also abstained

are the descendants of the enslaved people still suffering from it? are the descendants of the enslavers still benefitting from it? yes?

then reparations should be paid.

ironically, one of the xbox one games people are most interested in porting to pc is the legacy console edition of minecraft, a game famously already on pc!

tho with the recent source code leak of LCE idk if there’s still much enthusiasm

im guessing messenger and potentially whatsapp are next

i wonder if they include the people in Lebanon too… israel has killed more than 600 Lebanese citizens so far and i don’t see much news about it

are you trying to say being accused of sexual assault is the same as being sexually assaulted lmao
