So not drones which have been the game changer and plague of all recent wars (Armenia-Azerbaijan, Russia-Ukraine, USA-Iran)? Hmm cruise missile abd ballistic missiles are for sure a threat, but not mentioning drones is worrisome. Are these people actually paying attention? Bet it is the same folks who think it is a good idea to buy jets from its neighbours that wants to annex it…
RT is a well known Russian propaganda site, why even bother posting it? Why don’t you russian troll go queuing for gasoline? Better get some while you can, soon there won’t be any left.
What if it was the other way around? They had multiple partners so you had to spend less time keeping them happy? Seems like a win win, you have to spend less at the chores of the relationship and they gets to be more happy, content and taken care of!
A financial collapse almost certainly and business would struggle until they find alternatives, especially the service sector. But manufacturing, construction and agriculture is not as dependent on internet for day to day operations.
Social I think it would probably be a boom and when internet get back online a lot of people might look back at the blackout as a refreshing experience.
At least that’s my take.
In our reverse world, the more hyperbolic the title is the less worthwhile content the article contains. Use this to filter out content that can be safely (ironically) ignored.
Looks AI generated though. Can we exclude that?
I have glasses and the same problem, I think the glasses chafe against the plastic leather without one noticing until it breaks.
That really is the craziest part. Doesn’t matter much if we change everything if the underlying stores and OS still is not sovereign…
The fact that I cannot do banking or log into government sites without a phone with a foreign controlled OS and app store still baffles me…
I kinda agree, techy people will get around it and non-techy people do not install and use third party stores in the first place (does Samsung store count? They probably get a pass I assume). But it is still shitty and offensive and establishes a monopoly that the EU will have a problem with…
I have been thinking non the less to switch to other more open mobile os. I have tried a few, but my current phone is not well supported. When I upgrade in the future I will go for a more open platform.
I think if Google does this they kinda force devs in non-United Statean countries to develop their apps for other platforms too. If European government and banking apps can only be downloaded from United Statean app stores and the OS on United Statean Android phones are locked to only that store, they might have a problem with that…
Hopefully European government and banking apps become available on open source platforms like F-droid.
I knew this would happen, I talked about it with everyone for a year. LLMs need to be used more carefully and cannot replace workers, unless you want a far more expensive worker.
This is why I think Mistral AIs focus on small domain specific models that will start paying off once companies realize that renting a really expensive general model to do specific work is a waste of money compared to a small, possibly local and owned, model can do at a fraction of the cost.
Aroace may still want children, just not have sex :) IVF is ideal then.
So long as FF ships Google as default search engine, they’ll be captive to Google’s fuckery. That does make it a FF problem.
That I really cannot argue with…
Reading my comment again, it does read pretty aggressive… But you acknowledge that alternatives exist, but still use the shitty option? Kinda frustrating.
Lots of LGBT couples have kids using surrogates, IVF etc. You are not off the hook yet!
I am longtime Firefox user and i diagree. Firefox will never be big or profitable and should double down on its fanbase. Being divergent from the norm is a feature not a bug. It is the reason people are still using it. Being non-profit and open source is the strength that will always keep it alive because its funders are its fans.
If a website stops working on Firefox I won’t use the website. If i really have to use the website I will switch to Vivaldi temporarily. If i have to use it regularly I’ll complain about it to the website support. Every time I use it.
It is worth being loyal to me for Firefox, because I am loyal to them. I won’t switch to chromium based browsers out of principle.
How is google being poorly optimized for other browsers a Firefox problem? Stop being a product and stop using google search. There are several search engines out there that are better.
And now Russia is threatening to do large attacks in retaliation… They know it is a retaliation to them attacking the monastery in Kiev. How stupid can you be to threaten retaliation to a retaliation? Moscow got what they fucking asked for! Are they really so delusional that they think Ukraine will not attack Moscow under threats of retaliation when they attack Ukraine daily?
Sorry… I am done venting now.
Getting out of the atmosphere is the most costly part of space travel. So you want to get out of the atmosphere as soon as possible after launch. The fastest route out of the atmosphere is straight up. It really is that simple.
If you tried to go out it at an angle you would need so much more fuel, which would make the space craft bigger and heavier and more costly to get into space.
Going straight up with a rocket is the most cost efficient way of getting into space.
Probably the ‘uncanny valley’ effect. It is too real and jarring. I also think making a story out of the concept will be very difficult to make entertaining. People want things they can relate to. Men won’t be able to relate to it and just find it jarring and women will just read having period = being a monster and won’t appreciate the implication…
If you think something good can be made of it you have to write something yourself :/
