The merchiest company in my country is one that does online casino software. Worst part is, they have the highest quality merch so people actually use it. I've seen the logo on like Thule backpacks and shit.
Hasn't gotten me to go work for them, but they're damn good at reminding people that they exist.
The Vienna Convention is what the US uses constantly to keep their people insulated.
Normally, yes. But at this point I wouldn't be surprised to see the orange oaf ignore it and then try to muscle other countries into still respecting it when American diplomats are on the line.
Hell, I'm hoping that won't happen. But personally, I'd be a bit skittish about traveling to the US right now as a diplomat. I'd also be very skittish about traveling to the US as a non-diplomat.
If the fascists here take over, it'll be the local ones tbh. But don't worry, I'm already running a personal trade surplus with the USA. Trump would hate me.
Friend, I live at least 7 timezones away from you. I appreciate you burning shit down, but the people who voted the orange fascist into power are your friends and family, not me.
For the first time, I saw a car with Uber stickers in my country. Wanted to peel them off, but I also don't wanna get in a fight over it. Pretty sure it'll mostly be used by foreigners because the local alternative has several years of advantage and is also a multinational now.
... What makes you think the US in its current state gives a single fuck about any convention, much less one named after the capital of another country? They're exploring ways to circumvent their own constitution so they could send dissidents to CECOT for "terrorism" even if they're citizens.
I mean the image generators can be cool and LLMs are great for bouncing ideas off them at 4 AM when everyone else is sleeping. But I can't imagine paying for AI, don't want it integrated into most products, or put a lot of effort into hosting a low parameter model that performs way worse than ChatGPT without a paid plan. So you're exactly right, it's not being sold to me in a way that I would want to pay for it, or invest in hardware resources to host better models.
Yes, from a philosophical standpoint, even the water I just drank was a permanent decision.
But face tattoos are a permanent change to your appearance that you KNOW you might be discriminated against for AND can't cover up so making that decision implies that you don't consider potential negative future effects of your actions, or don't care.
Hardened and encrypted devices don't matter for shit when you're forced to unlock them. Not having direct access to confidential data like you proposed is much better. But better not even have a way of accessing it that could be detected.
That is certainly a valid point. Personally I'm pasty white, male and have no tattoos, so I'd be safe, but still feel iffy. Which is sad because I kinda want to visit a lot of places in the US. Maybe if they shake the taint they have on them right now.
