You gotta remember that his audience was full of young ideologically aligned people who willingly decided to serve usa government. I bet they loved that shit.

Mainland chinese grandmas workout too. It’s gonna be one hell of a battle.

I did not claim otherwise. You can understand why someone did something inexcusable without feigning confusion and incomprehension. I’m sure a logical and rational person like yourself would not have any trouble understanding the minds of those emotional people, right?

Have you heard of such thing as “emotions”? It wasn’t a logical and rational decision.

It’s right there in the article.

The Rwampara centre was reportedly set alight by local youths, enraged after being stopped from retrieving the body of a friend believed to have died from Ebola, according to an eyewitness who spoke to The Associated Press.

They didn’t understand that the body couldn’t be released because it was still contagious.

Well, some people do dedicate their lives to protesting about stuff. It’s called political activism.

Trolls are a dying breed now. It’s all automated bots that don’t care whether you “feed” them or not.

Way too many trolls and other forms of bad actors on the Web who intentionally or unintentionally use ad hominems or other toxic communication, it’s so hopelessly divisive and draining.

How exactly would id verification help against that. Do you want “toxic speech” to become a crime and punished by a court of law?

That would require this money to become real

It’s not a real rave unless it’s illegal. You are not punk of you are a rule abiding citizen.

So the government is gonna give me a robot gf?

Lemmy probably returns images in different formats depending on what client supports (and ones with better compression take precedence).

And Apollo was about planting the flag before Russians. Manned spaceflight was never about science.

I’m sure you can vibe code it in like 5 minutes

The entire selling point of AI is that I’d does things faster than humans. This advantage is rendered null if you require manual validation since it reintroduces human in the loop. The only way to “effectively” use AI is to adopt YOLO mindset and accept the consequences. This is what AI companies promote.

The amount of their output goes up. More importantly, they excrete code faster than good developers equipped with AI, simply because they don’t bother to review generated code. So now they are seen as top performers instead of always lagging behind like it was before AI.

Whether it actually results in better code is debatable, especially in the long run.

So you double check your work, you try to be reasonably confident in your answers, and you make sure your code actually does what it’s supposed to do. You take responsibility for your work, maybe even take pride in it.

In my experience, around 50% of (professional) developers do not take pride in their work, nor do they care.

Many people are incapable of making any kind of plan. Now they are using ai to make all decisions for them (and I’m not exaggerating here).

My point is that “sovereignty” implies ownership and specific jurisdiction. You can’t just take any open source project and say that you are “sovereign”. It would only make sense if that project accepts only European contributors and vets them.

Open source does not imply “european”.

Open source? One that’s developed by people all over the world, including US, China and Russia? And Linux, whose lead maintainer is an American citizen, and which is developed in the large part by US and Chinese corporations? Doesn’t sound very sovereign to me.
