Should just have said it stands for Wordfeud, which would be commical.
- Comment on Hard drive prices have surged by an average of 46% since September — iconic 24TB Seagate BarraCuda now $500 as AI claims another victim 6 days ago:
Are we really sure that AI is not just used as a scape goat for companies to raise prices?
Why HDDs?
- Comment on Europe Has a New Plan to Break Free from US Tech Dominance 1 week ago:
I think they do actually. They just showed support for Greenland and has publicly said they are slowly breaking away from trade deals with the US.
Europe is the obvious new partner and both sides would benefit alot.
Canada is for sure also looking at the tech side. And with the open source approach from the EU, they too can benefit.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
We could also look for more alliancens who are against the US, calling it “the allied”. The US could find a name with a N and a Z and fill in the rest.
- Comment on Bye Bye Big Tech: How I Migrated to an almost All-EU Stack (and saved 500€ per year) 2 weeks ago:
Because of the US Cloud Act. Try compare that to GDPR.

If there are two opinions present on Lemmy, it’s already twice as good.
- Comment on Google Deploying Huge CO2 Battery Facilities with Company Energy Dome 3 weeks ago:
If you want to fight for something, please learn what you stand behind.
Battery facilities is the next step in green energy, and I like to see different approaches to this. That is what we need right now.
Will this turn out to be a worse option than what will be invented in 10 years? Almost 100% sure. But did it help us getting to a better place? Yes.
Fuck Google though, but it doesnt make sense to do blind hate.
- Comment on ‘All brakes are off’: Russia’s attempt to rein in illicit market for leaked data backfires 3 weeks ago:
People are starting to realise that the biggest survilliance state in the world is the US.
And they want you to think it’s China or Russia to deflect attention.
- Comment on Apple will let iPhone users in Brazil get apps and services outside of the App Store 3 weeks ago:
That’s where these rules are coming from. EU made the first move, and countries around the world follows.
It’s like this with most laws. But the world depends on the first mover. Right now for everything on consumer protection, it’s the EU they look at.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 4 weeks ago:
Well, yeah. It also took 100x the time to write it.
Vibe coding is only really useful for a coder. Because you understand and correct it.
- Comment on Apple announces more ads are coming to App Store search results 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, guess who makes the posts. The US propaganda machine.
- Comment on Apple announces more ads are coming to App Store search results 4 weeks ago:
Wonder why we need 3rd party app stores.
And ffs, would other countries help a little, or should the EU just carry your asses every single time big tech tries some shit.

Long time ago that was true.

Yeah… There goes my subscription. I’m casting everything to Chromecast on my older TV.
- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 1 month ago:
That’s the thing. They wont pay you more. Maybe some people would get the extra money, but all new employees would get the same salary for more hours.
- Comment on The Supreme Court Is About to Hear a Case That Could Rewrite Internet Access 1 month ago:
Exactly this. Streaming was a thing long time before Netflix, but they made it so damn easy.
Now they fucked it, and streaming piracy became so damn easy that more people did it than before.
If they close down piracy streaming/download, guess what. Dark web access, or i2p maybe, will be so damn easy.
People are willing to do it, if there’s no service that’s worth it’s money.
Piracy is a service issue. Most of us would pay, if the service is good enough.
- Comment on [Opinion] X users in USA don't like that we have an opinion about them? Tough 1 month ago:
Maybe, just maybe, MAGA supporters will one day realize that the reason there’s so many foreign bots making propaganda about Trump, is because it weakens the US.
- Comment on Elon Musk Had Grok Rewrite Wikipedia. It Calls Hitler “The Führer.” 1 month ago:
That’s a good point. But The Führer is not something positive, and I wouldnt think much about it.
I’m don’t think this was an intentional way to make him sound better. I think we should be much more aware of fact checking what it says, than overusing a historical word to describe Hitler. That might just be an AI thing.
- Comment on Elon Musk Had Grok Rewrite Wikipedia. It Calls Hitler “The Führer.” 1 month ago:
Tbh, from a historical point of view, The Führer was used to describe Hitler. Now in Germany, it’s basically only used to refer to him.
I’m not for deleting history, and I think the context is important. People needs to know why The Führer or “der Führer” is bad.
A context which I think would have helped in another example would be the N-word. If everyone was really taught the history around that word, I think/hope alot of people would think twice before using it today.
Or is that only me?

Jesus would’ve hated America. I think according to the bible he lost his shit twice - both because of capitalism.

Most games being released aren’t even worth my time, let alone my money.
I dont think you are in their target group then.
- Comment on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang complains about stock price slide during all-hands meeting — says market did not appreciate company’s ‘incredible’ quarter 1 month ago:
Should be illegal for a company to comment on the stock market. It’s basically manipulation.
- Comment on Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace 1 month ago:
Exactly my point, which means you missed it.
The things you quoted pointed to the things making CEOs less important, while other points the opposite.
So just to be very clear about my point: CEOs are very different jobs. Some can be cut, some cant, because CEO doesnt really mean anything other than “person in charge”.
- Comment on Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace 2 months ago:
If we need to make good arguments against CEOs, at least try a little.
Wouldnt it be possible that “CEO” is different things in different companies?
Would it be possible that CEOs have people employed to take some of their tasks? Some CEOs, all their tasks?
Is a CEOs job the same when theres 50 people under him/her or 5000? Which do you think could run itself the best?
I also want the CEO job to be handle by someone who actually has a function, and is a good leader with morale and empathy.
But just saying “muuuh CEO bad because!!” is killing the discussion.
- Comment on Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace 2 months ago:
That’s why a CEO in the future will be 100% networking and the AI will hand the decisions over for him/her to “make”.
- Comment on Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace 2 months ago:
Why would you assume that the AI who takes the CEO job will be a LLM or “chat bot”?
It might use a LLM to communicate the ideas, but probably not for large scale business strategi.

Fuck that guy for saying that. Just asked for 1trillion dollars at Tesla, and now he wants to sell you a dream that money is irrelevant.
Money is his only power. No way.
