No, MS just wants to expand their monopoly, but “MS buying most common browser, after antitrust laws already forbid internet explorer” doesnt ring so well.

Pretty sure geologists are also needed in many types of construction projects. Of course it is not that interesting to tell the 1224th project team that they need to dig their foundations at least 80cm deep and guard against rising humidity.

National laws vary widely according to the politics of each jurisdiction. As of 2012, only two countries do not mandate paid time off for new parents: Papua New Guinea and the United States.

The check mark is provided by Twitter.

The account has a blue checkmark. Musk be real.

ODing on Ketamine is quite difficult. LD50 for mice i.V. is 77mg/kg. So for an 80kg mouse that would be more than 6 grams of Ketamine given i.V. typically the bioavailability by nasal or oral consumption is lower and Musk most likely has a high tolerance. So we are talking probably 50grams or more of Ketamine for a lethal dosage for Musk.

I am not sure if Musk could actually snort enough Ketamine for a lethal dosage without it just falling back out of his nostrils or if he could swallow one without his stomach turning before it is adsorbed.

Obviously all of these numbers are speculative and taking drugs is harmful, no matter the amount. Also people often die not by ODing on Ketamine, but by killing themselves in accidents as they loose control over their muscles.

IIRC. the US is one in two countries in the entire world that does not offer paid maternity leave.

I broke xorg.conf when i installed Linux Mint about a year ago, but i forgot what for. Ironically i never had issues with an Arch based distro.

Assuming the green-text is true, or even if it is just as a story to bring across the point, the notion is that “do what you want with me” is implied to be some of the “hardcore” things rather than the possibility of anon just wanting sensual intimacy.

The critique is that the assumption of everyone wanting “hardcore” things is just false. And frankly a lot of people do make themselves suffer by trying to adhere to this porn idea of sex, instead of allowing themselves to be sensual.

So it is not given to a centralized authority, that is guided by for profit motives and also does the moderation of its plattform.

Where this can lead was shown with twiiter. The moment the central organization is captured, the central authority will abuse the authentification for its own goals. Then instead of just having to check for the authentification to be reliable you need to question everything that is on that plattform as a whole, which is infinetly more consuming, but also simply impossible.

If the same authority is doing verification that is also doing moderation and both ultimately in a for profit setting, that has conflict of interest.

We dont know how reliable bluesky moderation will stay. We dont know how they will respond to political pressure. We dont know how they will monetize past the growth phase and then could also argue a “service fee” for verification.

In a perfect world none of these would happen, but then everybody could still be on twitter and be fine there.

Idk. Celebrities and Politicians usually have other vetted channels such as their own website or a website of their ogranization representing them. It should be basic journalistic work to see if their social media links link to the account in question or not.

The US has been a threat to world peace no matter who was president for the past 30 years (at least)

Google translate is using the same approach like an LLM.

So is DeepL

And before they were using neural network approaches they used statistical approaches, which are subject to the same errors as a result of bad training data.

It was quite funny when the candidate race started and Trump wasn’t rerunning yet and the FBI raided Mar a Lago for the stolen files. The sentiment was usually something along the lines of

“yeah Trump was not perfect and we always said this and we of course always let the authorities do their job, but also they should raid Biden and if Trump is convicted he is not a good president, but there is candidate x,y that is totally amazing.”

Sometimes i wonder how much of it are just shills, how much it is people who suffer form serious cognitive issues and how much it is people who are aware but fine with lying to themselves constantly.

Which system? The US political system? That one is damaged beyond repair and needs to be reworked completely. The global economic system? That one is also damaged beyond repair, but the rework will create a lot of instability and most likely war.

In order for that to make sense for a company, there must be one dominant distribution or their software must be the truly one and only for that purpose. Otherwise they just loose market shares to other companies willing to serve all distributions.

It is possible in principle and of course the MBA bros will try to pull stunts like this. It will be much more difficult to execute successfully though and it will be much easier to challenge from an anti-trust aspect.

Everyone running a linux distro won’t be a fairytale land, but it is still a huge step into the right direction.

That is if the other parties aren’t largely complicit. Looking at you Germany, Denmark, France, Finland, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Hungary…
