Figured what out?

The VAST majority of Muslims are just regular, kind people who don’t murder their families.

It’s almost like there’s a large-scale war going on nearby for the first time in decades, or something

There may have been a small uptick overall, but that one is disproportionately insane, I think

I mean, they’re right that it’s not FOSS - the F is free as in available to anybody who may wish to use it, which is incompatible with defining who is allowed

Isn’t near transit stations exactly where you’d want to put high density housing?

It is worth noting, though, that Iran did just refuse to meet their obligations under that non-proliferation agreement (regular inspections of nuclear infra, etc) for the first time since 2003.

But I do agree that there’s worrying echoes of the Iraq war here, given Israel seems to be the only country claiming to have evidence of active nuclear weapons development

Alright, wrap it up boys, we’ve been made

I broadly agree, but I think there’s a bit of a “correlation is not causation” effect at play, too

I would expect people who are very career-focused would prioritise socialising less, and also be more willing to do a long commute for a job they are highly invested in. But the reduced socialising wouldn’t necessarily be caused by the commuting (not entirely, at least).

Depends who’s cooking, could just be a great insult

This is a very intense, and worryingly doomer response to someone vaguely mentioning the concept of short selling

Are you saying that because you genuinely believe your statement isn’t an instance of the slippery slope fallacy, or because you want to insult me?

slippery slope fallacy

They’re validating the policy of the instance on the basis of the police tactics potentially being used against them, not the tactics themselves

It makes it difficult to use the pavement, especially for elderly people and people with disabilities, costs the council a bunch of time and money to repair, and doing the repairs often require killing off the tree

I think the best example of how deeply ingrained classism is in the UK is the video of now ex-Prime-Minister Rishi Sunak as a young man:

I have friends who are aristocrats, I have friends who are upper class, I have friends who are working class… well, not working class.

I think people often don’t immediately see how stark the class divide is in the UK, especially tourists, because the UK has a relatively large middle class especially around touristy areas. But the difference between Kensington and, say, Middlesbrough is stark

What point are you trying to make?

That there’s better FOSS software (just generally)?

That there’s better FOSS document editing software?

That you don’t like Libreoffice dark mode?

It looks pretty good to me

Putin and Xi will have to have a cute little wedding first 🥰

If Xi gets his diplo rep nice and high it might be quicker to just inherit Russia on his death though

The alternative is only supporting self hosted LLMs, though, right?

Imagine the scenario: you’re a visually impaired, non-technical user. You want to use the alt-text generation. You’re not going to go and host your own LLM, you’re just going to give up and leave it.

In the same way, Firefox supports search engines that sell your data, because a normal, non-technical user just wants to Google stuff, not read a series of blog posts about why they should actually be using something else.

This has to be the most American take of the week

Car-brain plus assuming the french think about them, that’s some top tier copium
