I want to make a board game called “hide the priest”. There could be a map of the world, and on each country some tokens representing priests. Tokens with a mark/dot are the priests that need to be relocated due to sexual offences. The player has to arrange the tokens, one move at a time, to ensure that offenders are not located in the country they committed their first offence in.
Poor Isreal. Why won’t their victims just let them steal their land and rape their families in peace, eh? /s
Jesus, I thought he might be losing support because of all the death, destruction and rape. But no - it’s not enough for them. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
I actually forgot that this machine isn’t M-series. Thanks for the reminder!
I was thinking of getting one in the future for similar reasons. My current laptop is an Intel Mac from 2011 running Ubuntu (Windowmaker session). It runs macOS and Ubuntu well enough, but it does run hot and the fans are loud.
My only fear is that unlike previous MacBooks, when macOS expires the device could become e-waste rather than something I can install linux on.
I see. Keeping with the Netflix example, and given the difficulty people seem to have moving to alternatives, service providers seem to have refined the balance of reducing offerings while retaining users.
Good point. There’s a subjective element to it too.
That’s a good relative way to measure value. Never thought of that!
There are Mastodon clients for ancient hardware like Commodore computers (80s/90s), so I think old phones should be able to also use Mastodon/Piefed.
Is one project clearly more important than the other these days? Given the gargantuan effort that goes into these suites I’m surprised we can talk about two of them credibly and in the context of open source.
Yeah. It seems to be a list rather than a blacklist. But because it names and shames it makes it easier for public sentiment to change and maybe some on-the-fence parties to come off it. It’s breadcrumbs, but I’ll take it.
I didn’t realise OnlyOffice was open source. Any guesses why they forked that instead of LO?
Yeah, the article seems to skip explaining what the blacklist is.
I didn’t know what to expect of it.
What a great attitude to start a book with.
What’s the book if you don’t mind me asking?
AI companies do not release any numbers themselves for carbon emissions.
I think the EU is even helping them keep that “operationally sensitive information” private, which is a shame.
not adding AI does not stifle environmental goals.
I can’t agree or disagree here. I know the demand for AI is huge: hundreds of millions of users per day and at least a billion per week. If Ecosia is seen not to have this feature, I would consider it possible that it hurts their adoption and therefore their goals.
which shows how incredibly dirty AI can be, even if no one releases any sensible metrics.
Yes. I’m not sure how much solace the “world greenest AI” slogan can really offer in that context. https://blog.ecosia.org/ecosia-ai/ - but when I’m recommending search to someone, I recommend Ecosia over Google, Bing, DDG, Qwant, Mojeek, etc. simply because I think they are more of a net positive than the other options.
Who knows, maybe in a year or twos time I’ll look back and regret it when more information surfaces. But they’ve been sensible enough until now with their operational choices to reach tree-planting goals.
Worse than sociopaths sometimes. The Dark Triad is a personality cluster of narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy combined. Found in CEOs among other groups.
