It will piss me off to give AI rights because it‘s not a living thing and we don‘t even grand billions of humans the same rights we enjoy in the west. We exploit them. The thought that a freaking soulless clanker walks among us with the same rights as you and me while children are starving, dying of thirst, are hurt in wars and don‘t have access to education and health care gives me the ick. How can we play god when we don‘t even look out for each other? Robots will replace us Terminator style if we don‘t get our shit together.

Angry Anakin (Reddit): „You turned them against me!“

Obi-Wan: „You managed to do that yourself.“

I know what Germany‘s useless government is banking on. It‘s the same naive strategy they tried in 2017 and that failed spectacularly. Actually no, it‘s the same naive strategy of „let‘s sit this out while we count our money from dubious side activities“ that Christ Democrats have been championing throughout my lifetime so far.

Why on earth would I want that? It‘s a fate I wouldn‘t wish on my worst enemy.

The Genie will turn you into a Genie and you will loathe your immortality as an eternal slave really quickly.

I won‘t lie the Arch Wiki has not helped me once. Odd threads in the forums or 2 minute long Youtube videos, though? Couldn‘t make it without those.

Germany should probably consider expelling all US troops stationed in Germany in response and make a public announcement that this is being discussed at least. You can‘t just sit still when a supposedly close ally suddenly slaps the door at you.

This is good news for the two OpenAI browser users who are now forced to use something better.

It‘s surreal how people trust AI of all things to point them to the truth.

It‘s a two sided blade, but I get what you mean.

On one hand monetization is the thing that ruins platforms for me because it invites grifters and even decent people are becoming obsessed with numbers. Most people see content creation only as a career path and not something to do for fun anymore. I find that depressing at times.

On the other hand we currently live in a capitalist world and have to play by those rules to some extend. I learned most of the things I do for a living from Youtube because professionals do Blender tutorials as a side gig or even for a living. There probably wouldn‘t be nearly as much knowledge out there without this motivator. Or at least not in this form that is easy to understand for me. The official Blender documentation usually isn‘t the first place I‘m searching through when I have a problem.

So I see where you‘re coming from but it‘s a fine line between helpful and loathsome.

Because the current management have no idea about the identity of the brand. They just want to make money quick but all they accomplish is losing market share.

The Haribo brand has been going downhill rapidly since hired managers took over leadership. It has been run by the same family for generations but the latest heirs had no interest in a leadership role. So it‘s run by random business people now who only make short term decisions based on numbers. When they moved their headquarters from Bonn (the town part of the company‘s name is based on. It‘s part of it‘s very DNA) to a tax haven state to save cost, everyone knew it was over. That company is just a Brand name with no identity now.

My old PC and laptop are too loud to use for anything really. It‘s unfortunate but the noise is too much.

Thank you!

Another body for the Google graveyard.

Still using Memmy even though it‘s a broken pile of rust now. The UI is still the best for me.

Is it possible to show downvotes? I wonder why so few apps have it.

Same thing I asked about Voyager: How do I enable seeing downvotes weighted against upvotes? It‘s a dealbreaker if I can‘t.

Maybe you should use something else in order to see the larger picture. It‘s hard to know what you really want when you don‘t compare.

How do I enable seeing downvotes weighted against upvotes in it? It doesn‘t do it on iOS on default which is weird.
