  In the EU VoLTE seems it works with most providers but there are issues with some providers. I think the sailfish OS forum has a compatibility list. Not sure how the situation is in the US as, this does depend on providers.

  I am not, i should have made it clearer above by saying “just a fine”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Art of the Deal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  European here, I am fine with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speeding Up the “Kill Chain”: Pentagon Bombs Thousands of Targets in Iran Using Palantir AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If multiple (or even countless) people die because of your grave negligence (which is the most benevolent way to look at it) I don’t think the appropriate judgement is a fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speeding Up the “Kill Chain”: Pentagon Bombs Thousands of Targets in Iran Using Palantir AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the legal questions should be fairly simple. The company selling the AI service should be liable for every error made and by that I mean all the way up to the management into the CEO’s office. Of course, that will never happen but it should happen.

  And here you go again. Still presenting your opinion as general truth, just shortly after moaning about how people don’t accept other opinions. Troll.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't we doing this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But you are assuming the downvote is due to people wanting everyone to have the same opinion, not because you generally called PT as awful, no qualification of any kind. Maybe next time communicate in a clearer fashion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't we doing this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a bit rich from someone who did not start the comment by saying, “I find public transport awful” but as a general truth “Its awful to go on public transport.”

  Same goes for your line about how people spend a fortune, just to avoid PT, when in fact, many don’t spend a fortune on cars when they happen to live in places where PT is decent and useful. Almost as if not so much the inherent general awfulness of PT makes people choose going by car but when PT is in that specific place just not good, people do so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't we doing this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess that must be why living in Vienna gives you such a terribly low quality of life, as more trips are done by PT than by car and half the people don’t even own a car (most of them could easily afford one), compared to for example Fake London in Canada.

  No, they aren’t. But you did not attack one of those, you attacked someone who was saying he was fine with going to the office by bike.

  Duckduckgo does not only source from Bing.They use sources from everyone but Google and they have their own web crawlers and an index of their own. Their results feel considerably more relevant to me than whatever Bing is doing. ’

  Have a look here for more infos: duckduckgo.com/…/news-rankings

  In some cases I still feel like Google has an edge but those cases become less frequent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Duckduckgo should not have any such issues. If you need that prefix you should not even need any cookies. Going there has all those no AI settings on by default. Regarding Ecosia, could it be that you deleted some related cookies accidentialy? Or did they really push in a very sleazy way for AI?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t do evil

  Hasn’t that been Google’s guiding principle for quite some time already?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Induced Demand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t you have annual passes? They tend to be a fair deal. Especially when you compare them to the cost of car mobility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sitting in traffic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone works in different ways. You may not believe it, because it is not your thing but some really want to separate their work location from their spare time location and there are also good reasons for doing so. I am not saying everyone has to want that but many do and there is nothing wrong with that. The other thing is that real, face to face communication is simply not the same as an online call, especially low key interactions during lunch or coffee break. Depends on your job of course and they way of working but there is value in it.

  If someone can combine the commute with work out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Why impose your preferences on that other person?

  You are just envious that they have Suchard chocolate in Switzerland.

  That’s the thing though. The sign says something like “we’re sooshan deesh”

  That is not how it works in the EU. The Cybertruck has never been street legal here, for a reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inside the fiery, deadly crashes involving the Tesla Cybertruck: Cybertrucks have locked passengers inside and burned so hot they’ve disintegrated drivers’ bones.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I disapprove the Schadenfreude comments, but this is not merely a “vehicle most people don’t like”. It is a dangerous vehicle unnecessarily threatening health and even live of other members of the community, especially of children. There is a reason why it is not street legal in the EU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ecosia seems to be pushing the aI stuff hard as well, but at least you have to press the obnoxious AI buttons to get it. Still, it refuses to make those buttons optional. Duckduckgo let’s you have clean experience without rubbing AI buttons or AI summaries in your face and so does qwant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inside the fiery, deadly crashes involving the Tesla Cybertruck: Cybertrucks have locked passengers inside and burned so hot they’ve disintegrated drivers’ bones.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sacrificing lives for Aesthetics, pretty much sums it up and explains why this thing is not street legal in the civilised world.

  Wouldn’t it be cheaper to pay vastly more versatile human guards a decent wage to guard those or more of those instead of those robots?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it is clearly messing with more than just “lighting”. While the spatial models appear untouched, it heavily changes textures, inventing details that simply were not there before, no matter what lighting. And then some of that “lighting” is also used to imply spacial details that were not there before.

  All of that creates that incredibly artificial and sloppy overall impression at “100%”. At lower percentages it likeky won’t be better, the sloppiness will be merely more diluted and therefore more tolerable.
