Wait so you’d prefer Russia shells you AFTER you leave the alliance? Wouldn’t that leave you more vulnerable?

Liberal in modern western political discourse has little to do with capitalism anymore and more about your stance on social issues like LGBT rights, racial equality or healthcare. Half of lemmy pretends not to understand it for some reason but it’s been like that for a few decades.
It’s the result of conservatives using “libtard” and “communist” interchangeably for everyone to the left of Reagan while by the old definition they’re actually liberals.
Languages evolve. Prescriptivism is useless.

Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon Caught Destroying Rare Books to Train AIEnglish
191·4 days agoOther AI companies can still buy them, they’re just rare because nobody bought them in the first place. They destroy them because scanning them is faster and in some jurisdictions that absolves you from copyright infringement since the amount of copies doesn’t go up

Technology@lemmy.world•Torvalds: AI Is the New Compiler, Not the New ProgrammerEnglish
1·4 days agoCan’t say I’ve had your experience, Windows always had issues. Think 7 was the least problematic version for me and the last one I remember fondly.
I have a car diagnostics laptop running 8.1 because it doesn’t support legacy boot for 7 and is too weak for 10. That UX was horrendous. Then came 10 which was unusable without an SSD. That sounds like the norm now but back then a lot of people didn’t have them. I’m not even going to mention 11, it came out before the AI craze and has sucked since release.
But the really crazy side of Microsoft is the ERPs. Way too much always changing. Good old systems being retired because they have a worse new one to replace it with, etc.

Technology@lemmy.world•First test flight of largest all-electric aircraft used just $5 of electricityEnglish
2·6 days agoThere are also flights where this could be used as fully electric right now, or very soon if they increase range a bit. If you fly from Tallinn to anywhere via Finnair, you go through Helsinki, that’s like a 30 minute flight. And the reason you don’t just drive to Helsinki is that you’d have to take the ferry which costs more money, takes over an hour and the Helsinki airport isn’t that close to the port.
Similarly, you can fly from Tallinn to the two bigger islands here in Estonia, very short flights versus like a 3 or 4 hour bus ride involving a ferry. 30 and 40 minute flights with the current 30-40 person planes that company uses.
T is actually short for 1000 KG not 2000 units of British currency.
Yes, carbs are great if you love working on cars. A factory fuel injection system these days (anything newer than the old Jetronic pieces of shit) is pretty much set it and forget it, plus if you do have a bad sensor or something, it’ll usually tell you (by live data reading if not DTC). Way easier to maintain than carburetors.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock OriginEnglish
5·6 days agoIt’s been Chromium based for ages now. Meaning they’ll likely eventually stop supporting manifest V2 too, unless Google makes it easy for them to keep supporting it.
I like openkuse more. In Estonian, kuse is either imperative form of the verb to pee, or the possessive case of the noun.
Though admittedly I used OpenKuse and it was super reliable for me.
Thing is, giant mansions existed in the 19th century too. They would’ve already been affecting the average home size in the 20th century.
The growth AFAIK is largely driven by the suburban mcmansions, which aren’t necessarily a 1% thing.
Well only central banks can create it out of thin air. Normal banks lend other people’s money (fractional reserve banking)
That would be the difference between a permissioned ledger vs a decentralised cryptocurrency. Pretty hard(not impossible) to turn off someone’s bitcoin, but depending on the design, the state backed crypto might be very easy… Or not.





How does that change Russia being an imperialist country filled with neonazis of its own?
