“Sure we destroyed the planet as we knew it, but for a brief moment in time, we increased value for shareholders!”
What usually happens is the area becomes too rich for the usual folk who have lived there since their birth. Now they can’t eat at a restaurant in their own home town.
just to teabag another nation.
Gestures broadly at the space race of the 1950s
Why did the coup occur? Do the citizens of Niger support the coup?
So it’s an inconvenience you would rather not put up with and let some old coot die.
No surprise. Land of the free… but also the land of the inconsiderate, and also perhaps selfish.
Its for yor benefit. And NHS actually saves lives.
Why don’t businesses do away with free and go to a completely paid model?
Let’s continue on this path of thinking: Customers already pay using their data. So if you want to show ads you have to pay customers since you are scrapping their data?
Ok then hear me out. Let free content supported by ads die out. Make everything paid.
Because Redhat has IBM hands shoved up through it’s ass upto it’s brains so it’s days are numbered.
Don’t underestimate IBM honchos to fuck up a good thing. Recently heard Redhat dropping dev support for a bunch of packages in fedora or something.
The moment someone fucks up… open source always brings alternatives. See: open office vs. Libreoffice… the bunch of firefox derivatives.
The AFD disagree with you
When you kill people who say otherwise… all there is left is people who praise you… either out of fear or out of stupidity.
I guess most people can’t afford (both time and money) to run an LLM just to have a saner browsing experience. So i suspect the key to adoption would be for the community to band together and spawn some LLM servers for the community backed by donations or other sustainable practices.
The future is probably once again crowd computing. We could probably use the federated network to distribute LLM requests from the community and load balance among those that are running LLM endpoints.
A fool and his money are parted
Seems like everybody like you wants to spend money without diligence when it’s the public money.
Proven methods of combating climate change are being ignored here. Hell, the government need not even invest in proven techs like wind farms and solar… they could put that money into modernizing the power grid and even that would be better than… whatever shit this is.
Ah the “I’m not crazy! You are!” Stage of deranged authoritarians
We already paid for the Internet though.
That’s like saying we should gouge out our eyeballs if we don’t want to see banner ads in real life. Fuck that noise.
I think I can distill many of the replies to this question in a few checks that may apply generally (exceptions abound, and i could just be wrong)
Are you intimately familiar (subject matter expert level) with the nasty outcomes of what you would be doing on a daily basis at this company? If yes its better it was YOU and not somebody else.
How much separation is there between what you do and the nasty outcomes? If you pull the trigger on a drone… I get thats unacceptable to some people.
Does not doing the activity make something else even more worse? (Frying pan vs. Fire dilemma)
Are you only doing this because there’s no other real choice? (Poverty)
Young people may perhaps be even doing it deliberately as a protest.
