The Menemen!

@yahoo.com is still somewhat popular among us old farts.

It will probably burst, but that does not man that AI will go away completly.

Hm, okay. Maybe it’s just a US government page thing then. Here in Germany firefox is still at 20% and used to be the standard browser until 5-6 years ago, so maybe pages are still optimized for it here.

Can you send me an example? I don’t think I ever really encountered those sites and I use FF almost exclusively for ~20 years.

In Germany you have to show your ID card to get it, at least in theory.

“I am free to move there”, saying you are American/western European without saying you are American/western European.

Having a large country doesn’t necessarily mean that your cities and towns have to spread like crazy. Russia is even larger but the cities are much more compact than US cities.

I was adressing the “aggresively urging to take your holidays on time”, which is a very German thing and it is so due to local laws. Never heard that about any other country. I am also not American, but turkish (living in Germany).

You in Germany? There is some kind of tax thing, so it costs money if people don’t take there holidays in the year itself, so companies are mostly quite keen with you raking all holidays.

“I loose money when I pay for Netflix.”

Hello from our companies “we finally need to get more AI” executive conference. I got find a way to get out of this corporate bullshit…

“We are falling behind” my ass.

I’ll have a look at that fetcher thing. Thx.

I am on Mastodon for 5 years now (fuck it is really 5 years since August 2019, what the hell) and just can’t get into it. It just feels lonely over there. What am I doing wrong?

Tbh, I think it is the post statistics thing. It says “1 reply”, then I click at ot and it has 4 replies and it ALWAYS says “0 favorites” even when 10 people comment how great that post was.

He is a former president and endorses himself, very much so actually. I don’t think he cares much about any other former president, nor any other human being tbh.

Most Germans wouldn’t notice. I didn’t. It is a very common mistake among Germans.

Lol to the “back in the day porn was safer”. Back innthe day the worst stuff was openly distributed on normal porn sites. It was actually difficult not to stumble over illegal ot really disturbing stuff when browsing those sites. And don’t get me started on the stuff people send you on some irc servers unasked (that was more in the late 90s though).

Even non porn sites could be bad. Like one time I was browsing a non-porn anime site and suddenly landed on a porn site that had me scared the police might kick in my door, despite closing it immediately after it opened.

This, luckily, is a lot better regulated nowadays.

I give you accessibility though. Having a internet connected computer in you pocket 24/7 might make things much worse.

It is great for pattern recognition (we use it to recognize damages in pipes) and probably pattern reproduction (never used it for that). Haven’t really seen much other real life value.

I think we are talking “boring” from an outside perspective.

The 1950s saw the Korean war, the Algerian war for Independence (where France mass murdered hundred thousand of civilians), we saw the end of the first Indochina War and the beginning of the Vietnam War, we saw the revolution in Cuba, we saw the first hydrogen bombs, the soviet Luna 2 was the first spacecraft to land on the moon, the cold war really picked up, NASA and CERN were established, the polio vaccine was invented, and so on.

The 1950s were far from boring for the world outside the US picked fence.

I am no expert. But afaik drivers normally are integrated into the kernel and intensively tested by several parties before getting onto your computer. Only for proprietary drivers this would be problematic under Linux.

Don’t know about youtube, but I have a similar experience at twitter. I believe they probably see blocking, muting or reporting as “interaction” and show more of the same as a result.

On youtube on the other hand, I never blocked a channel and almost never see militaristic or right wing stuff (despite following some gun nerds, because I think they are funny).
