There is a saying in my country that we are always 30 years behind other countries. No matter what that is.

AI at scale will flop, but will return later as open source small businessess tool.

The same thing have been posted last year and will be posted next.

Many companies would lose profit. Many greedy fucks would not be able to afford their third yaht and fifth house.

Google and others regularly pay growing fines to EU over breaking laws. Still data of european citizens is valuable enough that they earn more with fines than they would following law

I’m sceptical. Usually when something is advertised as “global” it barely exists outside USA

Paraphrasing Trump: the tax just got 10% higher

The world will fall apart, but me and my family will still live in the ruins. Local community will get poorer but not dead. Also I am fairly away from “world” media speak of.

Why would it? In ireland case it’s the distance.

I enjoyed some few-days bans for saying that USA is not a greay country to live in. And a bit longer bans for saying Israel is doing warcrimes. But never permanent. Curiosity brought me to lemmy but this platform feels tad empty

Americans will do nothing, mark my words.

Not a monarchist, but I definitely have one big gripe with democracy.

Who is responsible?

I feel like there is no responsibility within democracy. Politicians just point at abstract things like party, commission etc. They can sell the country to the outsiders for cash money and nobody will be at fault. Or perhaps it’s the voter, his fault for voting. And when there is too much “guilt” put on party they just disband it and start a new one. Same people, same issues, just a different name.

As for British Monarchy - they are literally pets. I wouldn’t mind a permanent big-brother house with royal family for my country. Would certainly save up on production of telenovelas.

There is a road in Poland. A4 it’s called. It’s officially a highway but never in it’s history did it satisfy requirements for that title. Label of highway cannot be removed for as long as road is under repairs, renovations or upgrades.

So there is a highway that shouldn’t be one, permanently in construction and never finished. It’s also paid road, one of the most expensive roads to use in EU.

And yet people still pay to use this road because alternative is a slower route through smaller roads and varied towns.

Software is the same - your application can be buggy shit, but as long as it’s best buggy shit available people will prefer it over more finished ones.

I made a free esoteric knowledge app for android. It’s named Baba Yaga. It has tarot, runes, astrology and some shamanic guides.

Currently I’m in the progress of reworking visuals to look better, after which my goal is to add herbs and dream symbols.

“Hey! You bike is getting stolen!”

Is it true - yes. Is it helpful - to the owner, yes; to the thief, no. Is it inspiring - no, not really.

Okay, let’s stay silent.

It’s just a joke, don’t kill me.
