  • On the one hand, these strikes have had a direct effect on the national debt, as the country wasn't able to increase pension age or cut benefits. On the other hand, it might lead to the government taxing the wealthy more and stopping the endless asset hoarding by the rich, which prices out everyone else. If France taxes the rich, they might be able to persuade the rest of the European nations to do the same. Then it might become effective for once.

  • Trump signs executive order criminalizing opposition to fascism

    Jump

  • Come on Trump, you can do better. Here in The Netherlands the government has signed a motion banning antifa already last week! Try to keep up, will ya? /s

    It's so unfortunate that journalism is dead, otherwise we could've had some interesting discussions on this topic. For instance, I would like really like to know what would happen if a WWII veteran would speak out against fascism. Will we (The Netherlands or in this case the US) lock that person up?

  • Disappointed Christians say God is delaying the Rapture until Epstein Files are released

    Jump

  • Faith is such an interesting concept. Believers can make up interesting statements like this, but if this statement is true, then so is the following: God was okay with Epstein's activities, otherwise God would've intervened. Right?

  • Massive Attack to take all songs off Spotify

    Jump

  • Spotify used to do that very well, but the last years it enshittified. Now it's very difficult to find new artists or new music, heck even finding a playlist that isn't auto generated by Spotify has become a challenge. Everything is now pushed by Spotify and they select which artists you listen to, the artists that make Spotify more money.

  • Fucking pointless

  • This seems to be the trick for great food as well. I'm not Italian, but every time I talk about food with an Italian they explain how few ingredients they actually use and how quick they can make dishes. It's more about qualitative ingredients than anything else.

  • Major US brands sound alarm over rising anti-American sentiment

    Jump

  • And it's working! It's so funny to see companies like McDonalds advertise with: "Your burger is produced in Europe" or the like. At least they seem to acknowledge that they are biting off one of the hands that feed them, good.

  • As Covid surges in the US, Americans can’t get vaccinated: ‘terrified I might kill somebody’

    Jump

  • I still don't see how getting 5G is seen as a bad thing. Of all the side effects they could come up with, they picked one that is genuinely useful? Come on... They can do better.

  • Trump calls Epstein files 'irrelevant' as Massie petition picks up steam - ABC News

    Jump

  • Obviously it's irrelevant, because he is in there and we all know it.

  • The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home.

    Jump

  • For me personally, it's about balance. Working from home full time during COVID was hell, felt like trapped in my cell really. Going to the office every day feels exhausting due to traffic and open space office design can be very noisy. But meeting in the middle, going to the office once or twice a week is perfect for me. Enough time to work from home, stay focused. But also enough time to connect with colleagues.

  • There are only three certainties in life (US edition):

    • Taxes
    • Filing your taxes

  • I love old sci-fi

  • The more I learn about our modern age, the more I start to feel that the premise of the Matrix isn't such a bad deal at all. Normally, we should be there by now, the machine war ended decades ago.

  • This CEO laid off nearly 80% of his staff because they refused to adopt AI fast enough. 2 years later, he says he’d do it again

    Jump

  • Writing prompts is definitely a thing users must learn to do properly, to get the right results.

    But anyways, any company that fires people in favor of AI is only digging their own grave anyways. I personally believe AI (of which LLM is only a small part) can definitely serve as an automation tool that can increase output. Great companies will use this tech to give their employees more time to work on things that are meaningful to the company, that the AI cannot do. For instance, a company could free up some time of highly skilled engineers to help a couple hours a week on the most complicated service desk issues to increase customer satisfaction. Or the LLM can create more time for sales to have meetings with customers, instead of doing admin they already hate, etc... Use it to grow, not to shrink.

    Besides, if your company can be completely run by AI anyways, then congratulations, you just reached the end goal of open sourcing your company. Because why the heck won't anyone be able to replicate that quickly?

  • Gaming on Linux hasn't been great so far... | JayzTwoCents [27:59]

    Jump

  • Honestly, in that case, don't expect mass adoption. Simple as that.

    If the idea is to keep Linux as a niche, then that's fine. But if you/the community want Linux to rival Windows/Mac, than these are the exact bullet points that must change.

    Jump

  • How does that help anything? The channel is trying it out, a channel that is objectively more technically skilled than the average PC gamer. So if they can't make it work, or can't make it work seamlessly enough, then there is an issue. It reinforces the image that gaming on Linux is difficult, which frankly, it is.

  • This is getting laughably ridiculous

    Jump

  • Yeah, most people in this thread are focusing on gen Z, but why can't a minor play video games? What if a kid wants to play a game like Rollercoaster Tycoon or the Sims, must they really be 18 years old? And why does a hardware component then verify that? It's like age verification on a plate before dinner, fucking weird.

  • Have you encountered this?

    Jump

  • The answer is in your last sentences, employers should just pay a livable wage (mandated by the government really). In your first paragraph, all the things you explain to me are just part of the job. Nobody is going above and beyond to give me a better service/experience, it's literally just people doing their jobs. In non hospitality services, people don't get tipped for doing their job either, right? I've never seen anyone tip a nurse, teacher, police officer, etc.

    The whole tipping culture in the US is such a wild concept. In that aspect, I'm glad that we here in The Netherlands don't have that culture (yet), that we are not expected to tip and that we only tip great hospitality. But meanwhile the times are changing, we also see a "leave tip" prompt more often and it is really starting to annoy me. I'll decide if I want to tip, no need to shove it in my face, especially not considering people make a living wage without tips anyways.

  • Whoever didn't renew their cellphone license won't ever see this

  • Client side verification, that only shares the verification/proof thumbs up to the requestor, could work in such scenario. Very similar to digital payment cards such as seen in Apple Pay. You verify with your biometrics, anyone can only use it in that brief moment of time, but you cannot share that card. When paying, the device will only quickly check key details of that card to execute payment.

  • The UK’s Online Safety Act is a licence for censorship – and the rest of the world is following suit

    Jump

  • A digital ID, by itself, isn't much of an issue and can be very convenient for the user as well. Even better, it can be setup in a more privacy conserving way. For instance, when you have to provide your ID today, you often have to give companies a copy of your ID, which isn't really favorable to the owner of that ID. With digital ID, it's easier to give/revoke access to your ID or mask certain information the other party doesn't need to know. Most ID scans are mainly done to verify the person has a legitimate ID anyways and presented it, making this digital can be an improvement.

    Where it does get black mirror-ey is when you have to use that digital identity to basically log in to the internet and all your internet activity is logged to your ID. The shit the government can pull with such information is mindbogglingly bad.

  • 'You Cut Our Healthcare!' GOP Lawmaker Drowned in Boos at Combative Town Hall

  • "We cut our healthcare!" - seems more appropriate, given they voted for this mess.
