What's the end goal here? Only local governments? Capitalism itself has no function against wealth accumulation besides taxation, although the efficacy is questionable. So how does non-FIAT and dismantling the government help? Even les

But "AI" tools have more or less seeped into every mainstream product... this is a strong "defensive move" for companies in anticipation of more to come. We aren't leaving MS Office or Adobe because they already pus

The travel and tourism industry is growing at around 4% YoY. So there is still a need (a growing need!) for "experiences" and "moments". The "online bullshit" combined with no simple way towards ownership for y

Is 100dvh preferred over 100svh in this case? I never noticed a difference between them as the viewport size mostly doesn't change without scrolling... which shouldn't happen for both, right?

I agree with that, although for me it's books that I really enjoy currently. After quitting most of social media, the jump-cutting in a lot of shows and movies nowadays gives me headaches weirdly... maybe that's just me though. Al

Fundamentally, all social medias have two purposes: 1) Connecting with family and friends... for me, messaging Apps already solve that. 2) Curating new, exciting and relevant content. What I always find interesting is that most projects try

Even just "organizing" the code requires great amounts of knowledge and intuition from prior experiences. I am personally torn between the future of LLMs in this regard. Right now, even with Copilot, the benefit they give fundamen

EU needs to clear out its own backyard first, kick Hungary out... Orban has brought nothing but chaos and costs. After that, why not? Turkey has been in discussion for ages and is barely in Europe. Also, South Africa might be interesting in

Not using services funded by Google is pretty high on my personal privacy checklist. Also, they offer some services (like VPN, Relay, Pocket) that usually end up as annoying bloatware in Firefox.

I absolutely support your claims about the leaderboards, it's an obvious show of cheating in CS2. There's also a strong incentive for cheating companies to be there so it might not be descriptive of the average experience. Howev
