Not this kind of privilege. The privilege of exerting power over women. Deciding what they can and can’t do, ordering them around, abusing them without any consequences. White men could also exert power over men of other races. Oil-covered men enjoyed this privilege, not just the top hat wearing ones.

You have to be special kind of a scumbag to intentionally bomb hospitals full of innocent people.

Iran is also bad.

There are summaries of articles on lemmy, just not generated by LMMs. What’s the difference?

“In Q3 we optimized our factory to explosion pipeline by 30%”

What’s wrong with AI summaries? AI has it’s uses. A long as it’s just adding some metadata I don’t see nothing wrong with it.

For me the big questions is what are they going to do to stop bots, spam and internet points farming. So far they didn’t reveal any plans.

You can’t really do anything. Men had privileged position in the society for millennia. Now you’re basically asking them to resign this privilege. They will not do it voluntarily. It doesn’t make sense for them on any level. They will push back and the harder you attack their special rights the harder they will push back. It’s only natural.

I think the only thing you can do is to educate them about democratic values so that while they are regaining power they still respect the rights of other people and don’t create authoritarian state. This is what clearly failed in the US.

Search sucks now, LLMs are useful. Not as useful as tech companies claim it to be but yeah, most people will use it at some point.

This is dictatorship. It’s mild only because no one is fighting back. The moment someone tries the gloves will come off.

They signed up to be beta testers. They found bugs. Why would they sue Tesla?

This was some common during protests in Spain they made a movie about it: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4555674/

Who wants to bet the robototaxis will be operated remotely by some guy in India?

I gave it a try but plasma doesn’t even support independent virtual desktop on multiple screens. Sometimes the old tools are just better. It’s back to awesome for me. And xscreensaver!

Most uses of ‘retard’ are in variable names like B43legacy_OFDMTAB_ADVRETARD but we also have

The switch is so retarded that it makes our command/entry abstraction crumble apart.

and

we shouldn't need asm for this, but gcc is being retarded

Ok, don’t use it but when all the pages work only in Chrome with disabled AdBlock don’t come back crying.

I had a look and it looks like you will not get anything special. The cutoff is around 2015. So for example Lenovo T440s will support Win11 but T440p will not. Looking at backmarket T440s is cheaper than T440p. So looks like you will only be able to get something ancient and the price will be pretty standard.

I love it how when 5 different people do something media gives it a name and pretends it’s a world wide trend.

Yes but most of the money spent on rearmament of Europe will be spent on equipment, not research. What will be needed are programs like: https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20250505-france-eu-us-scientists

They promised €500m. We’ll see if that’s enough.

I’m childless and all I can say is fuck community.

Only if Europe invests in science so they can actually do meaningful research here. I’ve seen some plans but we’ll see what will happen, especially with all the extra founding that will have to go to the military.
