Back to IRC for them.

A lot of knee-jerk reactions here so to provide some context:

The government will not do it because they are simply unable to. They were barely able to reach 3%. The ruling party and the PM do want to increase the spending but their minor, far-left coalition partner is against it. They would rather spend the money on social programs. The far-left party even voted to exit NATO altogether. They are simply not serious people. The PM finally managed to increase spending to 3% by using executive orders. They simply don't have a path to pass a new budget and increase the spending to 5%. So yeah, it's not the ruling party that's shortsighted, it's their progressive coalition partner who is against any spending on the military.

Not this kind of privilege. The privilege of exerting power over women. Deciding what they can and can't do, ordering them around, abusing them without any consequences. White men could also exert power over men of other races. Oil-covered men enjoyed this privilege, not just the top hat wearing ones.

You have to be special kind of a scumbag to intentionally bomb hospitals full of innocent people.

Iran is also bad.

There are summaries of articles on lemmy, just not generated by LMMs. What's the difference?

"In Q3 we optimized our factory to explosion pipeline by 30%"

What's wrong with AI summaries? AI has it's uses. A long as it's just adding some metadata I don't see nothing wrong with it.

For me the big questions is what are they going to do to stop bots, spam and internet points farming. So far they didn't reveal any plans.

You can't really do anything. Men had privileged position in the society for millennia. Now you're basically asking them to resign this privilege. They will not do it voluntarily. It doesn't make sense for them on any level. They will push back and the harder you attack their special rights the harder they will push back. It's only natural.

I think the only thing you can do is to educate them about democratic values so that while they are regaining power they still respect the rights of other people and don't create authoritarian state. This is what clearly failed in the US.

Search sucks now, LLMs are useful. Not as useful as tech companies claim it to be but yeah, most people will use it at some point.

This is dictatorship. It's mild only because no one is fighting back. The moment someone tries the gloves will come off.

They signed up to be beta testers. They found bugs. Why would they sue Tesla?

This was so common during protests in Spain they made a movie about it: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4555674/

He knows. He got all the laughs he needed from his supporters. Now he can pretend he regrets it by deleting it while escaping any real consequences.

Who wants to bet the robototaxis will be operated remotely by some guy in India?

Ok, don't use it but when all the pages work only in Chrome with disabled AdBlock don't come back crying.

I had a look and it looks like you will not get anything special. The cutoff is around 2015. So for example Lenovo T440s will support Win11 but T440p will not. Looking at backmarket T440s is cheaper than T440p. So looks like you will only be able to get something ancient and the price will be pretty standard.

I love it how when 5 different people do something media gives it a name and pretends it's a world wide trend.

Where was an authoritarian dictator abolished without armed conflict with rebels getting external support (like in Syria)?

Mass protests in Belarus - no change

Mass protests in Venezuela - no change

Mass protests in Iran - no change

Mass protests in Turkey - no change

It only works when politicians are worried about getting reelected. When fighting dedicators it doesn't really work that way.
