  • Nobody will win. The waitress stays or will return and still get paid shit. The menu will get digitised because it's cheaper. You know what less costs mean?

    Higher profits.

    The end.

    Wake up.

  • No. There are already plenty examples of this. Thinking this will happen in the near future (100 years) is a fairytale.

    As long as you don't have vocal cords capable of creating effective speech and you don't have appendages with which is possible to create and use tools you're fucked.

    Examples? Plenty, let's go:

    Pig: As intelligent as a 6 year old. What we do to them makes Auswitz looks like summer camp.

    Dolphins: pushed into a bay and murdered by the hundreds. Thousands (millions?) die each year in the nets of our floating fishing factories. Their intellect is at least that of a 6 year old and most probably way more.

    Whales: hunted to virtual extinction. Way more intelligent then a 6 year old.

    Elephants: show clear sociological traits. Remembers stuff over a long time. Grieve over death. Hunted for their big ass teeth.

    Apes: our close relatives. Hunted for meat. Most species of them easily operate at 10-12 year old level. Can use tools but can not create them. At the current path they're on in the wild (extinction). They will never reach the stone age.

    We rule. Harshly.

  • According to my 16 yo daughter it most certainly is a thing in the EU. She would never buy an android.

    According to my 12 yo son iPhone's are for dumb people. I'm not sure if that's really his opinion or he just says it to annoy his big sister.

  • Pretty much a thing in NL and afaik also BE.

    source: am Dutch.

    T mobile NL, 5G capped at 22GB. Cost: 20 euro.

    35 euro in NL wl give you t mobile unlimited which is capped at 15 GB per day. Other providers charge more or less the same.

    @home internet 1up/down GB fiber 45 euro. No datacap.

  • “All children deserve equal participation and more opportunities through inclusive education,” Brandenburg said.

    I concur. Unfortunately I also somewhat concur with this weird guy on this topic because the current system does not result in equal participation.

    The current system results in a lot of unhappy parents and unhappy students and burned out teachers.

    That doesn't sound or look viable. But it is what we got in a lot of the EU.

    The inclusion project almost always results in exclusion. Only in the first few years it does work.

    After that it quickly becomes very apparent for all the kids that that one kid is different. And that the teacher spends all most all his time on that one kid. Which results in envy and jealousy. And that one kid also feels like shit because of that.

    Kids, like adults, can and will be very mean.

    In the school of my kids I've seen it work twice, in 13 years. All the other times it ended with a premature departure of the special needs kid.

    Now I'm not talking about mild autism or mild adhd or a small mental deficiency. Those are manageable and those kids should be teached at a "normal" school. I'm talking about the severe cases of those and syndromes like down.

    (source parent of 3 kids, in the Netherlands with somewhat the same system.)

  • Hbo will be cancelled the moment they rebrand it to max and add all that bullshit content in my country.

    No dance of dragons can prevent that.

    Atm there are only 2 streaming services which still hold real value: prime video and Netflix. Disney+ just doesn't cut it. We get 3 worthwhile serious a year. Hbo doesn't cut it. We got 3 worthwhile series this last year (last of us, dance of dragons and the white lotus) and they removed Westworld and raised by wolves.

    In my country we also have sky/showtime about which I'm on the fence. The star trek catalog is incomplete, some series are nice but there still are technical difficulties. If/when they raise the price I will cancel that in a heartbeat too.

    Appletv has quality content just not enough to justify a year long subscription.

  • I never said sync is overpriced at 20 bucks. I said he should give 2 bucks back to the Foss community.

    Sync is not Foss so no, paying for sync does not mean your paying for Foss. You make lemmy more popular, that's true. And by doing that you're raising the cost of hosting lemmy.world which is ran solely on gifts from some users. We should do something to alleviate that.

  • No need to apologise for anything bud, this is the Internet where Linus rants daily! We all do!

    I understand you're fed up with all the sync bs. I just think we have to try to turn this in/to a way everybody gets better from it.

    The reddit refugees are happy because "this feels just like home", they(we) don't care it's 20 bucks!

    The og Foss crowd grumpingly :) accepts the higher amount of contributions which stems from that. (this is the point we've to drive home to ljdawson(sync dev)

    And we all benefit because the fediverse grows and keeps growing, more content, more everything. Shiny beautiful future, end to war and world hunger, beginning of a new era where humanity reaches for the stars or dies because of a rogue AI or because of a runaway greenhouse effect.

    Wait. No, not those last ones. It should have a happy ending.

    Anyway: Everybody is happy. More or less. :) *for a while. *
