• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨White House expects UK trade deal ‘within three weeks’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I appreciate your efforts to share facts, but I really don’t need that many words to convince me that Trump is talking shit, again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Michael Gove gets lifetime seat in UK’s House of Lords⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They really need to stop this shit of handing out peerages

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France shares intelligence with Ukraine amid ‘morally detestable’ US aid cutoff, says French minister⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait what? Did he call US actions morally detestable? How undiplomatic. We need more of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norway more than doubles Ukraine aid to $7.8 billion in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The best time to help Ukraine was 2014. The second best time is now. If you want to discuss 2014, start your own thread.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can European intelligence substitute the American one?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  All we can get on that topic is wild speculations. Nobody who has inside knowledge of the exact capabilities of each of these countries is going to share that here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It begins: Pentagon to give AI agents a role in decision making, ops planning.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There is more to AI than LLMs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any counter AI bots in the fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not entirely true. University assignments are scanned for signs of LLM use, and even with several thousand words per assignment, a not insignificant proportion comes back with an ‘undecided’ verdict.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any counter AI bots in the fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The further get down this thread, the more you sound like a person I don’t want to deal with. And looking at the downvotes, I’m not the only one.

  If you want people blocking you, perhaps followed by communities and instances blocking you as well, carry on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the exact ramifications and consequences of the recent meeting with Zelenskyy and Trump/JD?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The USA is finished as a world power. It may descend into a fascist developing nation, there may be a civil war, they may trigger ww3. Who knows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to cylindrical plugs?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Cordless kettles manage to connect mains power with a round, freely turning connector, so it can be done safely

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon will remove the option to download/transfer Kindle e-books via USB by February 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tell your friend to search for winterbreak

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MIT builds swarms of tiny robotic insect drones that can fly 100 times longer than previous designs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no way these things could spread poison instead of pollen is there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a free speech Lemmy instance⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no such thing as ‘free speech friendly’. Free speech is not absolute, and is defined / restricted differently across countries. So different instances will have to comply with their different local laws.

  Also: an instance allowing comments doesn’t mean there won’t be consequences. For example: you can criticise the Thai royal family all you want on a US based instance, but don’t ever show your face in Thailand after doing that if you value your freedom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Changes to Lemmy/PieFed to adjust to living under fascism⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Glossing over the fact that DOJ can’t subpoena instances like world as they are outside the US (but, like world, may be subject to EU GDPR) having an account without PII if your IP address is all over the servers isn’t going to save you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New measures unveiled to crack down on subscription traps⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re ok for now. It’s just a consultation, so every chance nothing actually pleasing will happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Petition: Create a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe because these petition have never (as far as I know) achieved anything?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to avoid US elections content as a non-US citizen. Is this possible on the default Lemmy-UI? I prefer it over Tesseract, Photon, Alexandrite and Voyager (which have built-in keyword filters)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Voyager on iOS has keyword filters

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are we building homes when so many are standing empty?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anecdotal of course, but while looking to downsize, we have seen many houses empty for 6+ months due to probate delays, and houses I would not buy for a pound due to the amount of work needed. So not sure how meaningful these stats are.
