If you have Trump, Elon and the New York Times in one post you gonna get some hop-ons that normally do not get engaged the same way with other posts, I guess?

Isn't this quite exactly like Regolith? They started supporting Sway / Wayland now and integrate Gnome stuff.

It's all very neoliberal social democracy stuff you don't have to worry. The true left got pushed out with Corbyn a few years ago, sadly.

It's not controlled by the state, but funded by it. There's a kind of a people's council everyone can join and vote about stuff which in part control the direction of it, it's called SRG. People in Switzerland still trus

I don't think you need to be an asshole to invent a dishwasher or an MRI machine. The usefulness alone lets you sell these. AI on the other hand...

Wouldn't fiscal spending devalue the currency since this money has to be "printed" instead of lent?

Real estate is the messy underbelly of capitalism. Since only debt (= mortgages) creates money (and growth) you have to cut them some slack. The economy won't work if you're asking too many questions.

That's a weird take. It's about creating value, not how much steel you can produce in a year.

The proposal wants to explore the risks and why it should _not_ be done, not the other way around. So it's about clearly working out why this would be a bad idea not why we should absolutely do it.

It seems to me that nuclear and fossil energy is heavily subsidized almost everywhere. So affordability is kind of a tricky metric.

I'm not sure I follow you. The neighbour might congratulate you but (s)he is inconvenienced as well.

Producing cars at the scale we're currently at is what's most troubling. EV's won't save us, we have to reduce individual car ownership and push for alternatives (car sharing and public transport).

Well there is the risk of seeming like an asshole to everyone else. Like, EVERYONE else, not just a single person. But that doesn't seem to be your concern.

Reading this thread gives me the creeps. So much entitlement. As if owning multiple cars or being able to drive 1000s of kilometres for holidays is a human right. Having kids and reading this thread is fucking depressing.

Is it a brain, though? As far as I understand it it's mostly stochastic calculations based on language or image patterns whose rule sets are static and immutable. Every conceivable idea of plasticity (and with that: a form of fake cons

Some might say yearly release cycles may be a bad incentive to hold back innovations because you have to bring something new every year... So you do _not_ get the latest and greatest, but a carefully planned "older" product with n

Why use huge SUV's as test vehicles? This seems unreasonable and ignorant to me. This normalization of huge, heavy cars on the road gets to me.

You should read up on anarchism. You're in for a huge surprise there.

But these videos only get watched exactly _because_ they are demeaning. So the problem is the nature of the videos itself and this alone disqualifies any good this guy supposedly does.

It's not about being stupid, it's about dependency and power. The offer alone is morally corrupted. If they'd all get their equal share of money and could compete out of their own volition and quit anytime they'd want th

It doesn't feel like politics to me. More like marketing and economics. A browser could theoretically be politically engaged by ensuring open web standards and accessibility etc. but this is not that, me thinks.

These are markets that are being developed actively by car companies. This is not a natural evolution or a so far unmet need for freedom but a political and economical campaign to sell more cars to people in "emerging markets".

I get what you mean and I had a similar experience growing up. But: I think that they were there. We just didn't see them a lot. They were cleaning, working in factories, tending gardens, looking after children etc. but they were not r
