Built? By whom? The issue with soviet blocks was not the density. The actual design was brilliant as each of these blocks had all conveniences like schools and shops within reach. The issue as with most soviet union is corruption and management incompetence. They took one design and applied to 15% of world’s land mass. So the house in deep Siberia and costs of warm Azerbaijan were the same. People live just fine in close quarters - just take a look at Japan.

LLMs actually revitalized movement to move away from excel. I think it’s done for in the next 10 years.

Bet they are not starting fresh. Instead of using 35 year old code base they are using 20 year old code base.

Nah mate screen is awesome outside except most people are stuck on macbooks that are simply unusable due to extreme screen glare.

Funny how Google couldn’t defeat seo spammers and yet claim they can keep AI safe. We are so fucked

Sure but why waste your privilege on “fine”. If you have the market power as an employee to pick and choose you shouldn’t settle on just fine.

Windows has a really good shell too but it’s not about terminal. Both macs and windows are pretty awful dev machines.

Tbf it’s true. Grades should not be a tool to hold anyone down, in fact there’s very little value in grading - it’s just a patch for incompetent education.

Lmao Chinese can't even move to the other cities of __their own country__. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hukou

Sure but you'd think they'd have a plan b or something for such an obvious threat they lobbied for getting into themselves. Nah someone will bail us - let's build more fake island shaped like flaccid cocks.

No he's not. Any nuke use by anyone would be completely geopolitical collapse and even americans would probably refuse the order.

To not starve?

Tesonet is pretty well known as one of the biggest tech company in the baltics region so obviously they do a lot of different tech. VPN itself is mostly harmless and can't intercept e2e encrypted traffic and today even DSN is under e2e. The only red flag is really the inaccurate advertising that vpn protects from public wifi issues which is on page with every VPN ad (except Mullvad) but still wrong.

At least IBM used to be cool and gave us things like SQL, DRAM and Thinkpads. Other than Java kits I couldn’t name a single useful initiative from Oracle.

I’ve been a software engineer for over 20 years now and tbh I couldn’t tell you even if my life depended on it. I know it’s a shit tier hosting service that people use because they offer 5$ worth virtual server for free with a valid credit card but that’s about it. It’s one of those ancient paper shuffling IT companies that is 95% sale/middle mamager leeches, 5% wizard engineers carrying everything on their shoulders.

You think only a doofus would make POV sextape with their partner?

Thinkpads are generally invredibly cheap due to scale. You can also refurbished last years model for under 400 usd.

This is crazy big news.

Thanks! Very cool tech

Crazy, all of these people should be permanently imprisoned

If the child ignores the parents and uses hacks to bypass parenting controls then no parenting control will ever help. It’s a tool and it must be based on existing parenting foundation not replace parenting. If a child receives a smartphone the very minimum parents must do is establish trust in the social contract between the two parties: “I give you a phone and use a privacy respecting parental control if you agree to not mess with it and keep me in the loop”. If this simple base cannot be established then all parental control is moot and we failed already. It’s really not that hard. I used to think these magement and conflict parts are the hard parts of parenting but it’s really not, the hard part is how much time/energy kids eat up to the point where it’s easy to be lazy and not pursue management solutions which are really simple.

What? The software is incredible these days. It literally detects dangers and warns you. Check out Bark which is only 14$/mo but even Google family does a lot of that for free

Source?

What a silly naturalist falacy. Were not built by anyone and evolutionary speaking pen writing is not any more special than writing on a digital screen. All of the science here is unconvincing at best and fake bullshit at worst. It’s entirely a skill issue.

Correlation =/= causation. Somehow other countries did it right? So maybe it’s just US thing

Tech regulation is such a joke that I struggle to take any of it seriously anymore. Google was found monopoly and they didnt issue a punishment because “it was long time ago and now there are AI browsers”. Australia banning teenagers from social media instead of, you know, fixing social media for all people. It’s like punching air yet if you personally break ToS or IP law you are criminally charged.

Who is this any signal too though? They could silently add the AI features and rally their base on aspects people actually like. It’s almost like Firefox doesn’t want to succeed

Missed opportunity to add a trackpoint.

of course lemmy.megaloser is here combing through my history of posts to defend authoritarians. Go away troll.

I spray my garden with couple of cigarettes worth of tobacco water once in a while - works great as a natural insecticide! I also used to live next to a tobacco plantation in Thailand once and the plant itself is quite incredible - basically untouchable by disease or insects so completel hands free and the fields are really cozy.

I think the bigger subsidy comes from the seller as they’d rather lose 3% and score a sale than not.

I’m not sure but Ikea’s BNPL here has 0 fees.

Just don’t miss payments then. They make money from sales cut not from fees. E.g. Amazon will take 6% loss to get a sale giving Klarna 3% and losing 3% to inflation. Looking at Klarna for example it’s 5$ late fee and then it gets reported to relevant authorities (credit, collections etc.) and they just block you. It’s not that tricky like payday loans or similar. The issue at hand is really just people buying more than they can afford because they are not charged instantly.

Except many BNPL options are 0% interest rate. I just renovated an apartment with ikea stuff and they offered me 0% interest rate over 1 year - it makes no sense to not take this offer. Many companies would gladly lose 4% (avg inflation) to guarantee a sale especially when dipping on loans are basically impossible today for the average consumer.

It’s absolutely possible to remain just and free while being secure. Skill issue. Maybe read it again?

Or you can be smart and just and have your cake and eat it too. See dozens of countries that prosper without sacrificing their freedoms and justice. You guys are just doomer losers simping for dictators because your minds are too small to imagine a real victory.

Not even going to reply to your strawman. I said that it’s weak mentality to say “ends justify the means and sacrifice justice and freedom for the sake of fighting a foreign oppressor” - maybe that’s easier to understand? Weak people, weak minds, skill issue.

What a loser-ass mentality. It’s absolutely possible to remain just and free while being secure. Skill issue.
