Who gets to decide what “hurt” means? The person hurting or the person being hurt? And how do you get both of them to agree what hurt means?

Proving works only if everyone agrees on the underlying definitions. If a group defines fire as being cold, there is no proving anything.

If it was simple and easy to install and play games on Linux as is on Windows, I would have switched over a decade ago.

You need to have something shitty to see if the other thing is good. Otherwise we will just build EU-approved Meta that does the same shit from all over again.

Oh no! Anyway…

American companies exist to maximize shareholder value. Remember that. There is no company, doing anything, for the better of the world or humanity. At least not as the primary motivation.

They don’t need any government assistance, they just need to take the millions they pay out to stakeholders, and invest them into automation. The money is there, just being handed out to a few people. Why should the government pay for something that sits on tons of cash but won’t use it?

Expensive is not a problem it it’s followed by the appropriate quality. Also, US should be far more able to use tech to automate and make efficient, same as China can use cheap labour. In the end, a robot is a one-time fee, doesn’t get sick, and can work 24/7, easy and fast to learn new processes. Long term a robot will always outpeform a human.

Yes, but nobody ever expected Germany to be quick and adapt. Germany does not do that in general. It takes something that exists, perfects it, and then sells the perfection of the existing thing, ideally until really not a single person on the world needs it anymore. US on the other hand, has the reputation where innovation begins and does wonders. I am asking myself, where is the innovation in their autoindustry? Last thing was actually Tesla itself, when they started producing first electric cars.

It is the same situation, but the expectation is completely opposite.

American manufacturing seems very incapable of change. If things worked this way for decades, why change it? Meanwhile the world moved on and they ask themselves why doesn’t anyone wanna buy american…?

This only shows that AI can’t be trusted because the same AI can five you different answers to the same question, depending on the owner and how it’s instructed. It doesn’t give answers, it goves narratives and opinions. Classic search was at least simple keyword matching, it was either a hit or a miss, but the user decides in the end, what will his takeaway be from the results.

Because it doesn’t have encryption by default, and encryption is not a setting in many public providers + if security works, then only within a single provider, not between them.

Because you simultainously claim EU will be a federation but then explain how it will not work as a federation. I read your comment, it’s just not understandable.

Can you compare the power California has within the US, to the same power a country like Slovenia would have in federal EU? It’s not mindless nationalism, it’s also the very real threat of giving up your own soveregin right to someone or something, that might totally ignore your interests, or continuously put their interests above yours. You see how Trump ignores the interests of California as they are completely opposite, what makes you think that any nation in EU wants to be in the same situation ever in the future, if they don’t have those problems now and can prevent it quite easily, by doing nothing?

In EU there will never be an European as the leader, they will always be a German, Slowak, Swede… and at that point it’s clear which interests they will push forward.

Because how many attackers are actually interested in attacking fax? Like… have you ever heard of hackers hacking physical mail? It’s to old for people to care, and “people not caring” is implicitely secure by ignorance.

If you filter out only what you like, you are left with perhaps 1% of music.

Fax, still in official use in Germany.

I wouldn’t agree…

“Most of them work” is a far cry from “all of them work perfectly as if they were running on Android itself”.

Lets turn the sentence around, and see how it feels: “Some apps won’t work at all”. Very scary sentence for consumers with different expectations.

I understand, but the shift in user behaviour is significant and I think websites are not taking it into account. If the users move more and more to AI, and since Google introduced AI mode it’s only a question of time until it becomes the default, we will see more and more of what we thing are AI crawlers and less and less organic users.

AI seems to be the new middleman between you and the user, and if you block the middleman, you block the user. For people with hobby websites or established sites it may make sense because people either know of them, or getting more exposure is not a wish or requirement, but for everyone else, it will be painful.
