If it was simple and easy to install and play games on Linux as is on Windows, I would have switched over a decade ago.

Oh no! Anyway…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
American companies exist to maximize shareholder value. Remember that. There is no company, doing anything, for the better of the world or humanity. At least not as the primary motivation.

They don’t need any government assistance, they just need to take the millions they pay out to stakeholders, and invest them into automation. The money is there, just being handed out to a few people. Why should the government pay for something that sits on tons of cash but won’t use it?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Expensive is not a problem it it’s followed by the appropriate quality. Also, US should be far more able to use tech to automate and make efficient, same as China can use cheap labour. In the end, a robot is a one-time fee, doesn’t get sick, and can work 24/7, easy and fast to learn new processes. Long term a robot will always outpeform a human.

Yes, but nobody ever expected Germany to be quick and adapt. Germany does not do that in general. It takes something that exists, perfects it, and then sells the perfection of the existing thing. US on the other hand, has the reputation where innovation begins and does wonders.

It is the same situation, but the expectation is completely opposite.

American manufacturing seems very incapable of change. If things worked this way for decades, why change it? Meanwhile the world moved on and they ask themselves why doesn’t anyone wanna buy american…?

This only shows that AI can’t be trusted because the same AI can five you different answers to the same question, depending on the owner and how it’s instructed. It doesn’t give answers, it goves narratives and opinions. Classic search was at least simple keyword matching, it was either a hit or a miss, but the user decides in the end, what will his takeaway be from the results.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to combat large amounts of Ai scrapers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I understand, but the shift in user behaviour is significant and I think websites are not taking it into account. If the users move more and more to AI, and since Google introduced AI mode it’s only a question of time until it becomes the default, we will see more and more of what we thing are AI crawlers and less and less organic users.

AI seems to be the new middleman between you and the user, and if you block the middleman, you block the user. For people with hobby websites or established sites it may make sense because people either know of them, or getting more exposure is not a wish or requirement, but for everyone else, it will be painful.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to combat large amounts of Ai scrapers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I just realized an interesting thing - if I use Gemini, and tell it to do deep research, it actually goes to the websites it knows/finds, and looks up the content to provide up-to-date answers. So, some of those AI crawlers are actually not crawlers, but actual users who just use AI instead of coming directly to the site.

Soo… blocking AI completely could also potentially reduce exposure, especially as more and more people use AI to basically do searches instead of browsing themselves. That would also explain the amount of requests daily - could be simply different users using AI to research for some topic.

Point is, you should evaluate if the AI requests are just proxies of real users, and blocking AI blocks real users from knowing your site exists.

Anubis is the name of the tool. Also, Cloudflare just announced they have something against AI scrapers.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
But… Samsung also needs twice as many charges because for whatever reason, their batteries simply don’t last as long. Timewise, you get the same lifetime, from both. What good does a larger charging count bring, if you need to charge it twice as much? Misleading spec.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Gemini depends on the Google app, disable it, and it dies.

Have you noticed how the Google app, the one that supposedly just does search and list news articles, has like 400 MB? Over time it accumulated 2GB cache… how?

Did I say anywhere that the 30:70 means a really had 30:70 cap and that nobody after that is free to join or leave the job? Did I say that the 30% is exactly, not more not less, the amount of men who want to for ex. work in daycare?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Because more women than men want to be in daycare, it’s unrealistic to expect the same amount of men want to be in daycase as women. And the gender ratio of employees doesn’t mean thats also the ratio of what kids will take away from this. Does this mean that in daycare without any men the kids have only 50% of the care they need? Of course not.

Again, ONE DOESNT EXCLUDE THE OTHER. Everyone has empathy and resilience, but so far in general women tend to be better at empathy and men in resilience. Why force one to do both, when both can thrive in what they do better?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
There was nothing wrong with that role then, and there is nothing wrong with the role now. The main difference is that in 1950 women had no choice but to be a housewife, and today women have choices, and when comparing them, being a housewife doesn’t look half as bad.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Well, after your 2nd post with the same thing I thought this is how you wanna communicate.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
True, if we are talking as if today was 1950 and the socioeconomic situation were the same. But it’s not. There’s almost 80 years of progress and the socioeconomic situation is not even comparable. So, although true it was a problem 80 years ago, its a bit shortsigthed to claim same applies today.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
But, whats the difference from a male that also wants to get to the same position, and is also not entrusted with the thing of importance? I see plenty of this scenarios play on a daily basis by males who want to get on top but are blocked by fellow males. Its the same situation, why would we need to provide help for the women but not for the men? Would you say that properly competent person would overcome this issue, regardless of their gender?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I absolutely never said most of the things you claim here that I have said. I never said that one gender can’t do what the other can. Will you stop putting words in my mouth?

If you’re under the impression that “women are better at this, men are better at that” then you’re either 12 and/or are living in a society which actively stifles human development.

This seems awfully ignorant. I guess you think also men are equally good at giving birth and breastfeeding? If so, no need to discuss anymore. Let’s agree to disagree.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You went into extreme edge cases to prove your point. Of course both genders can do both, but why would I want to put the burden of getting the kids in check with my wife when I am supposed to be the man in the house? Will I just put the burden on my wife and say “hey, you are mature and strong and independent - handle it and let me get a beer”.

As for the emotional part - women can teach kids empathy, men can teach kids not to cry immediately if you fall down once. Both are emotional aspects but they are exactly the opposite aspects and complement each other. Kids do need both. Women happen to be better at empathy, and men tend to be better at regulating emotions.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Better paid jobs are usually more risky, competitive and harsh with short deadlines, that why the are paid more than jobs where you can just do your shift and happily go home like daycare or teaching. It happens that men simply naturally want the adrenaline and excitement that comes with the first because they want to prove themselves.

If you look into history, men where those that went hunting which can be dangerous, while women were those who collected berries and nursed children, not much danger there.

As a man, I actually thing women are crazy for not wanting to keep being a houswife a thing. It’s like being the CEO of the house. WFH guaranteed, you are the one making plans and deadlines, minimal stress, and you have probably enough spare time to do whatever you want as a hobby on the side (unless you have small children). I truly don’t see the downside, I would thrive in home improvement and gardening…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Thank you, I am actually shocked by such positive feedback, as I never expect anything positive in online discussions :D

Well, there is not much that needs to be adjusted in traditional values. Or, to put it lightly, that was never the problem to begin with. In traditional roles, both genders use their advantage to the max, and it has worked for millenia.

The issue is that there is a smaller % of both genders, who wish to do something “out of the norm”. Men who want to work in childcare and women who want to drive trucks. That small % should be able to do so, without discrimination. That’s it. That’s all to it, why this entire woke thing blew up. We should preserve the traditional roles as they have proven themselves to work effectively, but we need to adjust it to be flexible for things that don’t fit in the traditional norms.

From somewhere came the narrative that men are gatekeeping women from all important positions, and women in fight for their rights to be equal went the same route to basically gatekeep men in the name of equality. And now we are in this weird limbo where the genders seem to undermine each other whereever they can.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
There is nothing that needs or requires 50/50 nor is there any benefit to society by forcing it besides being able to say “now it’s equal”. Childcare should ideally be 30% men and 70% women because women are natual caretakers and excell at emotional and social tasks. Men are needed there to provide strict authority for kids when they are not behaving well and for developing skills such as sports, engineering and emotional reslilience.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Daycare, men who work with children in general. It feels like taboo, and I assume it’s because the general opinion seems to be that men that want to be around children are most likely pedophiles. I never heard of a program to include more men in daycare.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It’s quite simple, gender equaliry should stand for equal opportunity for both genders, but it’s not. I only see women being pushed into places with traditionally male majority, but not men being pushed into places with traditional female majority. And worst of all, equal opportunity should not mean we will hire a less competent woman that a more competent men, to fill out some 50/50 quota.

This is exactly the result of abusing gender equality.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Copilot Delusion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
You can use the same argument for just about everything. “In the past it was better”. Remember when kids new how to actually write with pens, and had to send a letter and wait a few weeks until it even arrived? The damn telephone and internet ‘ruined’ it with their ease of access and convenience.
