What does it mean?

Come on guys, the US is in dire need of that money. How will they be able to throw billions at their military industrial complex if not for our donations?

Germans suffer from mass obedience and mass conformism more than any other country in western Europe I’ve been to. It’s a national disease

As a german citizen with an immigrant background from Eastern Europe, I can confirm this. It’s bad enough for a white looking, german passing eastern european. My friends from the Middle East or Africa have had a much, much worse experience than I ever will. Hell, I was walking down the street with my black friend once and some guys in their early twenties decided it’d be funny to scream the N word at us out of their car while also telling us to “go back where we came from”.

Or another interesting story, I was at McDonalds the day right after the Hamas attack on Israel happened. Apparently the cashier thought it’d be acceptable to tell the muslim woman (that was obviously just a student or a tourist coming from abroad cause she had a huge suitcase with her with those airline tags on it) in front of me that she should learn german or don’t come here, then said shit like “only thing you muslims know to do is behead people” and gestured with his hand at his neck the movement of cutting someone’s head off. I was the only one to intervene and tell him it’s not okay. All the pasty ass german boomers behind me just stayed in line and waited for their shitty burgers to arrive, literally no words of condemnation.

Arrest their asses and ship them off to the Hague.

You visiting all of them?

Deals, deals, deals. The EU needs that lithium. The EU also has many other business interests in Serbia. Vučić is a great business partner to the EU.

Such an inhumane country. Keeping people in shackles like cattle. Hell, not even cattle gets treated like that.

Because you can use one time pad encryption which is theoretically unbreakable. Intercepting the photons used to generate these keys would instantly alter their state thus making them unusable.

Capitalists the moment the free market™️ no longer works for them: “I love state intervention!”

The workers in question were employed as content moderators by Telus Digital, a Canadian company that provides outsourcing services for TikTok.

How does China have anything to do with this?

As a dirty commie: you’ll get over it someday.

Well this software is more intended for administrative staff working for the government, so I don’t think that decentralisation is their goal here.

Better to die childless than produce more slaves for the parasitical oligarch class.

The US is straight up owned by oligarchs. They can steal data, build products around said stolen data, and make you pay for the product built around said stolen data. But god forbid you dabble in piracy just so you can read a book, or a research paper, or expand your education without making anyone rich. No, only the parasite class is allowed to rake in billions of pieces of stolen content and force feed that back to you.

If artificial intelligence can be trained on stolen information, then so should be “natural” intelligence.

Oh, wait. One is owned by oligarchs raking in billions, the other just serves the plebs.

Why is about time? What are your main criticisms towards Mozilla?

I’m sorry but why would any country give up its nuclear arsenal today? Very serious question.

We all know that the international rules based order doesn’t give a crap about any of that. Ukraine gave away its nuclear arsenal in the 90s in exchange for security guarantees from Russia, the US, the UK, and so on. And we’ve all seen how that went. (See Budapest Memorandum)

Israel has had a nuclear arsenal for decades and no one seems to make such a big fuss about it.

Iraq got invaded by the US in an illegal war under false premises that they were building WMDs. Now we know that even the US government knew at the time that those claims were bullshit.

So again, why would any country capable of building nuclear weapons not do so? Give me a list of actual incentives.

Dad calls me randomly one evening. He can’t find the youtube app on his smart TV. I try to help him navigate it but over the phone communication isn’t really working especially since things I assume anyone would know (like the home button on the remote) don’t translate well to him. He gets pissed and tells me “why do you even work as a programmer what did you even learn in university?”. Apparently I missed my Samsung smart TV UI classes.

There was a website/app listing all targeted companies. What was its name?
