scintilla

I guess if you are insulated from the american economy?

This is a bad sign for Microsoft imo. A lot of the “return to office” stuff is about shedding employees without doing layoffs.

I don’t agree with a lot of the things the founding fathers did or said but the quote “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety” rings true even at this stage.

Because lets be honest here everyone knows that they will be sentencing innocent people with this.

Someone’s gunning to be the first trillionare by selling sex bots.

I just realized I don’t think I’ve heard anyone talk about ghossty since it’s public launch.

I wonder how many people understand how big of a deal that is. Like I imagine a lot of people on Lemmy do but in the general public I have to imagine most people have no idea how deep the hate runs between them.

Fucking source‽ Yes companies do scummy shit with IP all the time but no companies are not reprinting books without paying authors unless there is some crazy contract bullshit.

So what should be done so that authors and inventors are fairly compensated under our current economic system? I am not in support of capitalism to be clear but we are stuck with it for the foreseeable future and I don’t want small authors to have large companies just steal their books and reprint them.

can you explain your reason.

(also 760k CAD is about 470k Euro just so you are aware.)

IP is important in the current capitalist world. In an ideal world I absolutely think IP would be abolished but without it there would be no way for a small company to make something and not have it stolen out from under them by a mega corp.

I do not think current IP law is perfect or even very good now but under capitalism it is something that is necessary. Even in open source it matters because without it all the licenses in the world would not matter.

Hey this isn’t a cheat thing…

Are you ok?

I don’t have the quote on hand but one of the founders literally admitted to using the bible as an excuse to do what they already wanted to. Which was to get the jews out of europe because a lot of the people behind zionism were super anti-semitic.

So more energy use for what the people that are into AI are calling a worse model. Is someone going to get fired for this?

I would think/hope that you guys could at least maintain the submarine independently. Your sailors went through the same training as the US ones do for operating. and as far as I understand it (which is better than most people) subs don’t really get refueled. Carriers do but by the time a sub needed to refuel it wouldn’t be worth while simply because the technology has advanced so far.

Hopefully more of the western world invests into its own navy because as it stands the US is such an overwhelming force that I understand why everyone is so hesitant to stand up against us.

I would say the are farther ahead in the state controll aspect at the very least.

for refrence Walmart has had me in the “applied” stage of resumee review on their shitty website for nearly a month. I don’t think people quite get how bad it is. I had to wait for a spot to open up to interview at McDonalds that I’m still waiting for because the closest one was two weeks out.

You know just because a fascist says something doesn’t make it untrue right? Like always double check what they say but them saying it doesn’t make it untrue. The UK is following so much closer behind the US than some people want to admit. Hell half of Europe is still an elections away from ending up with a far right candidate. Now that Trump has been president for a bit I wonder how much of that immediate reaction you saw with Germany will continue.

I mean this very genuinely. When the next admin comes into office I hope they fire every single person who was involved in it and didn’t stop it.

If you’re the guy pressing the buttons to make the satellite de orbit quit your fucking job before doing this.

Seems like specifics should be worked out more in advance but getting your own nuclear subs as a country is an absolute game changer strategically.

Probably should have stuck with france but it’s a bit late now lol.

You’re still ignoring the core problem in that children can’t do any of those things by themselves anymore and all of them cost some amount of money with the exception of playgrounds and parks. Growing up the closest one to me was about a 30 minute drive so I would never be able to get myself there.
