why? AR has always been superior to VR in terms of technology. i had hopes googles and later microsofts demo a few years back would take off but the tech just couldn’t find a niche market to hold onto and its just taken a backseat because it isn’t as gimmicky and easy to market to a ready-to-burn-money demography as VR (gaming). AR has actual real-life every-day application. as long as Apple does it well, competitors will follow, and as they do, we’ll actually be able to use it one day.

And they have every right to do so.

morally, no. cartoon mouse says, yes.

they also ruined their own platform by creating and encouraging an entire business around gaming search results.

i wasn’t aware they redesigned nuclear from the ground up. why did they pick uranium then?

it should perhaps be pointed out that we originally had proposition for both reactors but we ended up with uranium reactors because the US wanted a reason to mine uranium for nuclear bombs and were well aware of the risk difference but didn’t care about the potential lives being lost if something went wrong. later, the cost to develop a thorium reactor had no monetary benefits beyond generating power and keeping people safe so no country wanted to invest in it when the uranium blueprints were available, literally because of capitalism.

there is a ton of famous people active on Mastodon tho. George Takei. John Scalzi. James Gunn. Cory Doctorow. Charlie Stross. William Gibson. Ron Gilbert.

Some left a year ago tho, probably for BlueSky, like Linus Torvald, Stephen Fry, Mark Ruffalo, Greta Thunberg, Felicia Day, etc.

A bunch of official european channels too like the european commission.

Mailspring desktop client has a pretty neat UI imo.

This is a direct consequence of the free market act from 2023 that no longer obligated PostNord to deliver post and stopped paying for the service.

it should be highlighted that PostNord was no longer obligated to deliver post because they failed to do so in the first place.

The one saving grace with all of this is the list of “horror examples” from why privatization doesn’t work. PostNord isn’t the only privatized entity and the others have also failed to live up to the socialist high quality standard that free market capitalism tried to replace - but it sure has the most really ass backwards shit examples of how fucking stupid privatization is.

everyone who fucking voted for this should be ashamed.

just like how people keep complaining about facebook groups.

they uprooted every community and hobby discussion board ever and move them to a platform that doesn’t support distribution of information then moan that it’s just spam and repeated engagement content.

because Mastodon isn’t designed to pray on people’s lack of self control?

the EU has been promoting Mastodon and the fediverse ever since Musk bought twitter, encouraging european governments to use Mastodon as a broadcasting platform and funding it through NGI.

the real problem is moving from twitter (x), to twitter (bluesky). expecting it to be better/different. just like all these people currently running from facebook to band.

really, it’s like running away from jason voorhees and intentionally to freddy kreuger, expecting different results.

i mean. we here on lemmy already did this. we went from digg to reddit, we learned our lesson, and came to lemmy. so to constantly advertise bluesky makes absolutely no sense. albeit i guess it’s the same principle, people of twitter need to experience enshitification of bluesky before they learn and settle on the fediverse.

our taxes goes to fund resources and development. and a large part of those taxes goes directly to microsoft so our governments can maintain windows and office installs instead of developing a public solution; its a problem because we aren’t actually getting anything from the taxes that goes to microsoft; which, unless you live in the US, is practically illegal unless specifically hiring a domestic corporation to supply the product (good ol’ privatization).

oh sure. big bad china gonna get us. meanwhile, the US keep fucking with us over here in europe and breaking our laws in the name of american private enterprises.

but yes, europe should really stop relying on foreign corporations for vital infrastructure, and yet here we are, laws being broken, national security thrown out the window, and no one cares.

nonsense, it’s not like microsoft, google or apple is logging every input you do and scanning your shit at every turn!

it still amazes me that the whole globe is paying R&D taxes to microsoft, a private foreign entity, instead of, you know, what R&D taxes are actually supposed to be spent on. is it even legal?

obviously the meme is trying to be as unflattering as possible as proof that american pizza is somehow superior. in reality american pizza tries to maximize profits whereas european pizza is a food dish.

buddy from the US moved to europe. kept whining about his local pizza joint. I assumed it was just crap but eventually asked what was wrong with it, “The pizzas got these weird ass names like Capricciosa and they are absolutely covered by toppings. WHERE IS THE BREAD?!?!”
