- Comment on GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation 1 week ago:
So they’re just going to use GitHub as a code training dataset? Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Just make it an official extension ffs…
- Comment on Marco Rubio orders US diplomats to launch lobbying blitz against Europe's tech law 2 weeks ago:
Lula won with 50.5%. That is how close they were to being enslaved again. It is not easy.
- Comment on Marco Rubio orders US diplomats to launch lobbying blitz against Europe's tech law 2 weeks ago:
Why is the EU always blamed for everything? This is how you got brexit. Trade policy and negotiations included all of the inputs of the EU members’ leaders. The problem is that they are split. Some are trump fans (Italy, Hungary), some can’t imagine life without murica (Germany, Poland, Baltics, probably), some want more autonomy (France, Spain).

Oh look, the tech companies sent a shit eating emissary to tell us how to live our lives…
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 2 weeks ago:
I’m an LLM freegan, I guess. But I’m cutting back too, the usefulness peaked.
- Comment on White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite that Collects Climate Data 2 weeks ago:
Smells less like the old blunt ignorance and climate change denial, but actually destroying detailed proof of what happens in real time due to their inaction.
- Comment on NASA's carbon tracking satellites are on Trump's chopping block | The satellites targeted for removal are the only ones monitoring Earth's greenhouse gases. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, magically lose the “password” to access the satellite and have it show up somewhere at a canadian or european climate office.
- Comment on Peak Energy just shipped the US's first grid-scale sodium-ion battery 3 weeks ago:
Finally something the EU can invest in with those 600 billion. Or buy it, like all EU startups were by FAANG companies. Tramp says it’s dead tech, so it’s ok.
- Comment on Peak Energy just shipped the US's first grid-scale sodium-ion battery 3 weeks ago:
The part that controls/balances the discharge profiles, right? Because sodium batteries have a more non-linear discharge pattern.
- Comment on Peak Energy just shipped the US's first grid-scale sodium-ion battery 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, the brine is where various useful ions are extracted from.
- Comment on Peak Energy just shipped the US's first grid-scale sodium-ion battery 3 weeks ago:
Pumped hydro?
- Comment on Peak Energy just shipped the US's first grid-scale sodium-ion battery 3 weeks ago:
I love this too, I just hope they don’t use too much Phosphorous, because those reserves are limited too, maybe there are alternative designs once this gets going.

I’ve noticed more debatelords, not sure they will stay if we don’t feed them and the more debatelordy instances just simply ban them.
- Comment on Microsoft admits it would have to let Trump spy on EU data if demanded 3 weeks ago:
I have another question: why do some eras seem to be so free for technology to evolve and so open to new entrants to create their designs and why do other eras feel like a billionaire trap and enclosures for consumers? The 80s/90s felt great for technology, but today it feels like they all want to take anyone’s capacity to do anything beyond being a dumb paying consumer away…like they’re covering all possible outcomes to come out enslaving everyone. Why didn’t they do that in the 80s/90s? Am I looking at the past with rose-tinted glasses?
- Comment on Itch.io are seeking out new payment processors who are more comfortable with adult material 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but having a Visa/Mastercard duopoly is already a precarious position. This is just the canary in the coalmine.
- Comment on Itch.io are seeking out new payment processors who are more comfortable with adult material 3 weeks ago:
This is the way.

Nice strawman.
- Comment on Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship 3 weeks ago:
Everyone has their path into activism and politicization. Last time this happened was when wikileaks got blocked by visa/mastercard, next time, with this experience it may be one of those causes.

I would say they aren’t as bad as alcohol and gambling, which are pervasive…some of them are just…art…some aren’t :D I could ask you the same about lots of other things, from music to literature. I just don’t like book burning. If someone put their effort into creating something that they thought was worth creating, why is it up to anyone to ban it for any adult?

Depends on who the leaders are. Some weaponize religion for their own aims and their ends justify the means. Some are peaceful, tolerant and constructive, all based off the very same texts.

You’re making a lot of value judgements without a whole lot of evidence to back them up. My point is perfect atheist: religious movements are a type of politics with certain aims (not unions, but communion, etc). It is you who are saying that religion is somehow a special phenomenon who puts them above regular ways to organize society. Maybe you think that it is because it is irrational and metaphysical. There is plenty of metaphysics in the form of utopias (heaven) in politics, saints/prophets (cult of personality). You just say that bad comes out of religion, but not out of politics…yeah…ok.

What undeniable good thing comes from politics?

I just wanted the EU to fork lineageOS and provide it as an alternative in major chains.
- Comment on Scientists study how people would react to a neurotic robot personality in real life 3 weeks ago:
At least they’re good at imagining all the ways in which you can hurt yourself way beforehand…and making sure you don’t do them…or anything else :/
- Comment on Scientists study how people would react to a neurotic robot personality in real life 3 weeks ago:
Wait, wait, neuroticism is actually good for something? I thought it was only useful for Woody Allen films and if you relate, you’re defective too :D
- Comment on EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google 3 weeks ago:
Too many bots online :D I’d like to know if I’m talking to a real sockpuppet when I’m online :D…but just for that and only share data from my “wallet id” on a strict need to know basis.

I have been asked to enter a credit card to verify my age on yt a few times before. It was pretty annoying, really, given how much google already knows about me.
