Those asshole companies can go fuck themselves.

Please join. Europe needs to be united for the upcoming Arctic war with Russia, China and the US.

So what? Russia can infiltrate them, they can bride journalist, etc… In any way, no matter how big a media company is, they should follow journalistic standards, in this case they did not.

Could be Russian propaganda. There are no links to a source, raw data or anything substantial. The questionaire is not shown. Polls are amongst the weakest of scientific tools due to the ease of manipulation.

Since most things are kept secret, I assume the worst, meaning that the US gains full unlimited read access to databases and can pull data as they like, including from those people who do not even want to visit the US. Therefore everyone is affected.

They will couple the retirement age to life expectancy and this parameter will drop in future. I’m pretty sure we are currently around the peak value of how old the average person will get. Climate change will result in millions of premature deaths every year worldwide. Heat waves will get much more deadly, more pandemics, more extreme flash floods, tornados, storms will kill additionally. Fungi already kill a lot of old people and nobody really knows that or cares about it, despite the WHO’s warning of 8 very harmful species of fungi and their urge to invest more in prevention. Global food and water supply will get pretty precarious. More toxins accumulate in the environment. We see more wars and violence, less stable economies, more social unrest… How can any sane person expect people will live longer under those conditions? Just because conditions have improved for decades doesn’t mean it will never get worse again.

This article is a mess. Waste of time. I’m not even sure if Germany’s prices are indeed too high or not, as you can’t easily compare prices like it is done in the article.

Strictly speaking, there isn’t even consensous amongst roman-catholics about what “hell” is and if it’s even part of the religion or maybe just the result of a translation issue. Also, believing in magic numbers is definitely not part of modern catholic christendom. Those people seem to abuse religion to spread their own culture-oppressing beliefs.

I accuse the BBC of giving too much attention to a collection of close-minded, destructive people without investigating the facts and exposing their irrationality.

This means they connect the government ID with the AI prompts. So this is a major privacy fuckup, adding a nice method of surveillance to the toolbox of the government.

If it was really about education they could have created randomly-named accounts and each person would get an account randomly assigned.

No it’s not, my demand is to lower the 7% tax down to 0%.

I wish there was a press-codex to not report on terror news. Especially, if nothing really happened. The goals: prevent inspiration to other people and, most importantly, prevent to spread fear such that terror becomes less effective. For some reasons the press decided to not report on suicides (even going to such extremes to almost make the problem invisible), yet terror news is still often shared and spread. The press is doing exactly what those criminals want. Despicable.

The only valid critic point is that they should remove taxes from raw vegetables, fruit and other basic food items, because increasing consumption of those to replace sugary processed food will really boost health. As of now, they only do half the job and thereby turning all this “it’s good you health” talk into a fat lie. It’s only about money, nothing else.

I just invoked my GDPR right to delete/close my account: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a1379064/ and got this result:

Your LinkedIn account is now closed. Although you no longer have access to it, it’ll take a few weeks for your public profile to disappear from search engines. Your data will be deleted as described in section 4.3 of our Privacy Policy

So at least this still works.

Could we please stop to pretend that US troops would help Europe if it was attacked by Putin? I mean Putin surely calculates that way and we know the US is currently our enemy, Trump said countless times that he doesn’t like the way we do things here in Europe. Better get rid of US influence entirely. It’s better to wake up now and have time to prepare instead of finding out that US won’t defend Europe in the middle of a future Russian invasion.

I agree with most of your points, I’m a software dev, same age and am using AI for writing/outlining boiler plate code, like unit test, translation resource files (which will be later filled by human made translations) and sometimes to do simple task in parallel, while I work on the more tricky parts of the code. So it’s a help, but it’s limited. In some areas where I have very deep knowledge, I immediately spot issues, then take a lot of time to refine prompts and tweak the agent and I still get mediocre results. For someone with average knowledge the results look plausible, even good, but as an expert I always see countless flaws. I don’t think this will improve much as we’re around a local optimum of AI and don’t expect any improvements for quite a while. That’s why I gave up on AI for anything complex and only use it to do the most boring stuff for me.

100% entirely incorrect. Data processing can happen without consent. Otherwise I could just tell my tax office to not store data about me and wouldn’t need to pay taxes. This is obviously not possible. In the end, art. 6 1. c) could justify such processing. Parental consent as described in art. 8 is only needed if Art. 6 1. a) were the sole justification.

Microsoft is unaware that students need a reliable device, this also means a stable OS which they can’t offer.

Oh, I don’t care if they care about me. The attention of my comment was to express how unimportant YouTube has become for me.

I know of PeerTube and like the concept. Out of my 57 subscribed channels only 2 are available via PeerTube, 4 more are available on other sites. I hope this will improve. I’m not using the normal YouTube interface. I’ve customised it to my needs with injected scripts plus additional cosmetic blocking, e.g. I filter out unwanted search results and removed all shorts. For now it works well enough. Anyway, I’m already in the process of reducing YouTube consumption.

No, I don’t see them and the day I cannot block ads anymore is the day I am going to stop using YouTube. It’s really not that important to life.
