  • What’s your most controversial opinion?

    Jump

  • You don't actually know that. You can identify as male, female, nonbinary, agender, genderfluid etc. all while conforming or not conforming to male or female gender stereotypes. One is intrinsic, the other extrinsic.

  • No they don't, this claim is being called out up and down this whole thread.

  • The people who internalize this would never engage with a chatbot in this way in the first place. To them this is another intelligence they're conversing with, where you get what you need by following social decorum, and enforcing your will amounts to abuse.

  • I don't think replacing everything is the point, at least not right now.

  • F11 plus Esc stops script execution or something like that?

  • US Government Deploys Elon Musk's Grok as Nutrition Bot, Where It Immediately Gives Advice for Rectal Use of Vegetables

  • This brings up the question if it's only about size, or if e.g. dry cereal counts as "uncomfortable".

  • European Alternatives for Music Streaming

    Jump

  • Yes. It's my go-to example for how we don't need US Americans to have billionaire capitalists who spend all of their considerable influence to fuck the rest of us over and make the world a worse place.

    Jump

  • The point isn't to absolve people of making bad decisions, but that doesn't mean the companies whose tools provide dangerous advice in a friendly and factual manner should be without accountability.

    Consider that people in all possible situations and mental health conditions have access to these tools.

  • Huh? That's reality.

  • You can count past 1,000 on your fingers by using binary, instead of just 10

  • It's not like it needs to be perfect in form.

    Your middle finger and ring finger are also linked. Keeping only the ring finger straight is more difficult than curling only your pinkie.

  • 'Losers': Far-right influencers dogpiled after seen chanting Heil Hitler on party bus

    Jump

  • Yeah. Also fascists are notoriously hypocritical. Their leaders in particular don't actually believe their own propaganda, they will approve and condemn whatever is conducive to their politics and propaganda. Why would we take their horrid worldview more seriously than they do.

  • It's Friday night, I'm getting drunk on Danish beer and eating German pizza

  • This isn't even beer, it's a canned headache.

  • Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton with the extensive amount of code she and her team wrote to guide the NASA mission to the Moon, USA, 1969

    Jump

  • Sci-fi plans to "save humanity" from catastrophic climate change usually remain in the planning / CGI stage. That's much cheaper, and it is all you need to placate people who might otherwise make demands about our economy and ecology here on earth.

  • [German] Wero launches with power in 2026: Logistics giant and all of Holland join

    Jump

  • Fair enough. Clearly I'm not that in the loop on the details, and I agree there should be a way to use it without relying on smartphones. I don't use a banking nor paypal app today either.

    But Visa and Mastercard are making a big play to shift the European market towards the US model where their credit cards are used for everything, so time is of the essence. For that reason I'm okay with some drawbacks, because there's at least a chance they will be addressed down the line. Also combating the payment duopoly and circumventing US-based systems are major wins for consumers already. I further hope it would hopefully over time see adoption in other countries as well as a real alternative to CCs when travelling.

  • Took you a while...

    Jump

  • Wow. I was so engrossed by the narrative that after one hour of listening to it, I genuinely felt betrayed.

  • [German] Wero launches with power in 2026: Logistics giant and all of Holland join

    Jump

  • I was talking about offline processing. But the 14-day return (and other consumer protections) hinge on the vendor playing along. If they don't, your bank just says "you authorized the transaction, SOL".

    This is the reality with SEPA transactions even in cases of blatant fraud. Your bank tells you to sue the recipient in court, they won't do a thing for you.

  • Money transfers are too slow, too cumbersome, and do not offer any consumer protection. They aren't designed for POS processes or small-time transactions.

    Yes, replacing PayPal is exactly what this is supposed to do, plus VESA Debit and Maestro which are already a thing of the past.
