Right? It looks funghal.

Or eggs do cost that much to produce in the US. Pinning this problem on Big Egg seems like the easiest solution, but I have an inkling this stuff goes deeper.

It makes sense though, doesn’t it? I imagine someone going in knowing it’s machine learning doesn’t have too many false assumptions, but they are being programmed in a way to mimic humans. The voice recognition part has come an incredible long way and I would not be surprised that this makes the uninitiated expect more of the language model than actually is there.

In this era of atomic isolation, even I wanted to believe it’s true. Having an algorithm that remembers my name through reboots would deepen the sense that there is a pretty developed entity helping me. Luckily I skimp on the premium versions.

Very interesting.

The Hungarian and Serbian protests are pretty clear cut. Former was a rally on a national holiday by the opposition lead, while the Serbs finally have a clear and open reason to demand blood. The Italian one feels like it’s almost a direct answer to the Trump-Zelensky mis-hap (or maybe I just saw the call to protest pop up around then).

What’s happening in Romania though? What I got from the article is that there was no proven link to the Russians. That seems like a tough nut to crack. The nationalists are in the streets protesting for democracy? Are there many?

Such exciting times! Thanks for the post.

Get back to r/teenagers, where you belong!

But seriously, thanks for the reminder.

Hey, don’t do that. I mean you can, sure, and it’ll be a cheaper solution (by just a fraction) to omit the windows license.

If you haven’t dipped your toes into Linux yet, but want to, do it on a machine where you aren’t too worried if you screw the OS up and have to build a new one, it is not an extraordinary pain (like you had you’re work there, only copies of your game saves, ecetera).

I’d screw around with the Chromebook, and when I’m good and ready, get a more powerful notebook.

I’m not sure about all flavors of Linux, but installing most is easier than windows. And if you luck out, you won’t have to bring up the console, the new distros are so friggin tight. But I guess that is where the heart of it all is. I am super happy with Endeavour OS, and I mostly just copy paste commands (that I’m understanding better and better, the more I use it).

While I cannot see any outright solution for our collective Orbán problem, I can definitely say it’s a great learning experience in adjusting requirements for newcomers.

We need to attach joining a common public prosecution to list. Something with teeth, that only autocrats need fret (I have no clue what and how, though).

My reasoning is that if a country would not qualify for entry in the current state there should be pressure to change things. At least they shouldn’t be able to extort the Union like they currently do.

I whole-heartedly agree. I am definitely biased on the matter, but I feel the whole separation direction is antagonistic to the EU cause. Like right now Orbán is definitely antagonistic and causing disruption to the common goal, but if we separate Hungary from the EU, we take away Orbán’s tight-rope act and the problem only further festers (albeit, outside the EU).

There is definitely an argument to be had against this, as the EU has acted as a valve for people who were fed up enough. So maybe we can make a pressure cooker, but for some reason I doubt the government will be the first casualty if that happens.

Are you being dense on purpose?

_(sry)

Fidesz didn’t dissolve democracy, they hacked it. I feel the term captured state fits, but they also talk about it being a hybrid regime.

Your concerns are very much grounded, but I just don’t see booting HU as a good solution. While there might be merit into ‘scaring Hungarians’ into getting rid of Orbán and co with a chance of losing EU access, it would only be good as a hail mary. I’d say half his voter base doesn’t really care about external (or internal) politics or is convinced that Brussels is the new Moscow.

Let me ask you one thing: is it better to have an ally that is visibly corrupted than to try and support the partizans in a neighbouring Russian vassal?

I guess if we can establish a protected class, it could deter violence. While I am the furthest thing from an Italian lawyer as possible, I highly doubt that there aren’t a handful of laws already in place that couldn’t be enforced to combat violence against women.

This could be a solid step in the right direction and enough to hand out harsher sentences where the motives are clearly misogynistic in nature.

Maybe I’m a bit in over my head, as I do have to think about the terminology, and many things come through fuzzy, to say it best. I just can’t shake the notion that at best this is only a loaded signaling, at worst another loophole to somehow horrificly abuse.

We have yet to see how this makes things better. If I were having an especially sceptic day, I’d just say this is a propaganda play (y’know, with women’s day around the corner). ‘Meloni is standing up for the weak’ - is the message I am getting.

If we can take it at face value, we can pocket the win. But having a gender-related rule created by a right-wing politician that hints at pushing conservative points makes me wary.

Luckily it doesn’t really matter what I believe, because there will be metrics on the matter. I do hope this new law helps curb violence. If nothing else, it’s a PSA that revenge porn is bad, which is way better than not talking about it.

Don’t fret it, Trump probably just wants in on the famous Hungarian-Uzbekistanian potato research on ground floor.

I am pretty sure there is no separate pipeline. We are landlocked and EU members with the common market. This is just lip service.

While domestic violence needs to be curbed, this somehow feels like a step back for feminism. Just the word itself.

The bill could emphasize domestic violence and the rape/murders. Mostly women are the victims, so they could have kept this ungendered. The only reason I see to specify femicide is because women are generally weaker and cannot defend themselves as well (please correct me if I’m wrong, as this seems to be the problematic part).

If it works, sure, let’s do it. I want people to be able to walk on the street confidently. It just feels like a red flag.

Damn dotcom bubble. Can’t have anything nice around.

I still feel that if they are doing a good job and not harrassing people at work, they deserve the money. The way you put it makes me feel like I am talking about funding the third reich.

Even if they are chanelling all the funds into an active genocidal army, I stand to argue the problem is not with me paying the developer. There are definitely nuances we can get into, like the ‘enabler’ character from the 12 steps lore. I am very much not dying on this hill, I might be wrong.

I see the thin line I am dancing on in this argument. Having bigot opinions go unchallenged on large platforms leads to problems.

I wouldn’t want to work with someone who can barely wait to kill me and take over the company because of something I was born with as soon he gets the green light from society. But is this what we are talking about?

We can’t let the hate take over, but I don’t see the solution in cutting off blood circulation to an uncooperating limb. One can argue that nazism is a gangrenous infection, but I personally think it’s a symptom of great discontent and a narrow perspective. Maybe I’m just slow to draw the same conclusions everyone else has from the paradox of tolerance.

Hey, I’m coming from a heavily utilitarian view, so please allow for that in my question.

Let’s say there is a pro coder who is amazing at debugging, but is incredibly antisemitic. They have little to no interactions with colleagues and are keeping the hate to the appropriate boards (X, I believe it’s called nowadays). Should we contract his work and apply it where applicable?

I wanted to give you some shade for not posting any links to back up your claims.

There was a rumor going around that EULAs can be easily attacked, but when I did a very unthorough search of it, I found the end of this wikipedia article states otherwise.

Yeah, I have some anecdotal evidence to that as well.

Everyone likes to shit on AAPL for being a walled garden, but it’s really hard for some to admit that they are pretty good at what they’re doing.

Are current politics something usually discussed in US middle schools? They’re like what, 14? Or is there a separate civics class?

I’m pretty sure if a questionairre that fluffs Trump instead of Harris is passed out to children, people would be yelling fascism.

The problem is with spreading propaganda in school. There’s just too much history and philosophy to cover to get a sense for modern policy, unless you have a special class for it maybe in high school.
