Why does a vending machine even have AI in the first place?

Not everything is about the US

The sad thing is that it works both ways. If a left party in government is improving things but had to do a compromise and therefore couldn't go all the way the far left is also complaining about that.

Compromise with far right positions should never happen, but compromise in itself is not something bad, and imho it's one of the main problems in today's democracy that too many people see it that way.

As with almost all things: it's good to have principles to stand by, but the world is rarely as black and white as it seems to be.

So you can see mastodon posts on bluesky and bluesky posts on mastodon?

I wonder what kind of securities Taiwan needs in order to bargain with china about it.

Joining NATO, being able to be officially recognised as a sovereign country without immediate sanctions by China against whoever did that? Permanent stationing of western troops?

I feel as if China giving up the claim to Taiwan in exchange for Taiwan's product capabilities to be made available within the mainland China would lead to China becoming the new global superpower for sure.

Stochastic terrorism is a real thing though - and hate speech against a minority is one of the possible ways fascism can take root in a society.

Germany learned this the hard way how easy it is to overtake a country that was previously one of the most liberal and modern societies. That's why hate speech against minorities and holocaust denial are forbidden and harshly punished here - and that's probably one of the reasons why other countries in Europe had their far-right surges in recent years quite a bit earlier since russia had to be more creative about dividing the population

I'm firmly convinced that 90% of the protesters are trolls that'll vote Trump anyway and are just trying to discourage people from voting for Harris that would never vote for Trump the same way the Trump campaign did that against Clinton.

Some people are probably participating in those as useful idiots that are not realizing that their activism will only make matters worse

I think it's very telling how often those protests are accompanied by "not voting for X" - since that's the main agenda - not to help Palestinian people

Opening the narrative with "I've seen things" in this way that people expect the Blade Runner Quote and then ending it with the "you wouldn't believe" part is genius writing

They also decided to only use cameras and visual clues for driving instead of using radar, heat cameras or something like that as well.

It's designed to be launched asap, not to be safe

Yeah - and they explain why they'll never do a crypto currency. I don't see how this is challenging anything I said before

That's explicitly making clear how bad of an idea crypto is?

Vivaldi has that, too, without the cryptobro People owning the browser.

I switched to Zen, personally as any chromium seems to be doomed unless someone manages to fork the base project and take it away from Google
