The same goes for cooking, making coffee and a LOT of other things you do at home. It raises the market value because it’s a chore some people want others to do for them.

I do think this is AI, but I don’t think it’s obviously AI. As someone said ChatGPT is probably trained more on formal writing than casual writing, LinkedIn is a place where you want to appear super smart so this is an environment where many will use a more formal style.

It’s more the nothing burger of a comment that gives it away IMO. But then again, the reason people do this I believe is to be visible. If they comment on things it may pop up in their contacts’ feeds, and if it catches the interest of that person it reflects positively on them. If it doesn’t catch the interest of that person, it has still generated visibility for them.

I assure you a great many people take Linux seriously.

Why is Spain such an attractive place for data centers? Seems costly due to high temperatures. But maybe those costs can be offset by the viability of solar power?

A friend of mine who works with (mobile) connectivity in remote areas said about eutelsat that they’re not really a challenger to starlink. ⅕ the speed, 3-4x ping times, some “issues with routing” whatever that means (looking at a conversation from two months ago). Roughly 10 years behind starlink.

Maybe it’s better for non-mobile connectivity though, such as a cabin in the woods.

Isn’t librewolf building on the latest versions of firefox or gecko or something? So if firefox does, so does librewolf?

If the value of money goes down, prices go up.

No shit they are. Even after all this blows over, as it inevitably will, they’re still gonna be huge… but what might be a small loss percentage-wise is still quite big when you’re as big as Microsoft.

Here in the nordics they seem to have almost every company and almost every municipality as their customer, if there’s a rule coming in saying public data must be in Europe or something like that — that’s a lot of dollars lost. Same if just a percentage or two of companies decide they’re not fans of American tech anymore.

Probably more integration than we have now, but not full integration like the US. I think something one might call a confederation is likely. Unified military, more integrated economies (stuff like having a common framework for company registrations, not tax but taxation systems), shared system for identification/passports, maybe an EU-tax (similar to how most countries have something like municipality/city tax, regional tax and state tax, some of that could be moved to an EU-wide pool of money).

But I don’t think we’ll see taxation and budgets left over completely to the EU, education, healthcare etc. Just unify the boring stuff and make integration better.

Swedes just go to any country that’s nearby and that’s not Norway for cheap alcohol. Switzerland and Austria seem to have the same strategy.

Didn’t know this guy before but it really doesn’t matter if he was literally Hitler and decides to start using Linux. It’s an operating system not a club, it really makes no difference. Maybe slightly more moderation for people on linux communities on mainstream platforms (e.g. reddit).

Been wanting this feature for years, amazing.

late to the game

Which other browsers have this? If I had known I probably would’ve switched haha.

Mainly not having it be centralised. See, I can host my own. My local scout organisation can host their own. Maybe some other regional body can host their own. They have their own thing going, but they also have seamless integration with other services.

For something I’m self-hosting, there’s no way there will be a big user base and a lot of public trails and such crowdsourced. But with a federated alternative I think we could see a very healthy form of crowdsourcing.

Kan inte uttala mig om det här reportaget och vill inte försvara SD, men vad han säger har stämt in ganska väl på Kalla Fakta tidigare IMO. Det gör grävande journalistik, men fyller ut med tvivelaktiga källor när de behöver, och framingen är gjord för att skapa ragebait. Skitprogram.

It’s so weird tbh. It’s a mutual need, they want people I want a job — why don’t I ever get an email thanking me for my time?

Top #1 sign(s) that you’re spending too much time on YouTube.

Of course not, to even entertain this idea is ridiculous.

An EU-China summit will be held in July, both sides announced.

Don’t know why, but this feels hype.

What’s the problem exactly? There are many ways to do it, and I think saying you run apt-get update is quite fine even if you’re not explicitly saying that you run it as root. And he may not have flatpaks.

Do you remember any examples of things that made you turn away from those other distros?

Most big distros are old enough to drink though. Ubuntu is 20yo, Fedora 21yo, openSUSE 18yo, Arch 23yo, Gentoo 23yo. (I got curious and a bit carried away…)

But sure, Debian does have them beat by roughly 10 years (31yo).
