Point me towards a dumb phone that can run Signal properly and I’ll cancel my 8020 order right now.

(yes, it’s still a bit of a guess whether the 8020 can actually run it properly, but that’s what they’re promising right now anyway)

I guess they wanna throw a shade by contrasting the numbers. 1.5 million deaths in 2 years vs 76000 deaths in 3 years. Or in relative terms, 60-70% vs 4%.

They kinda have a point there, even though the official UN definition of genocide of course doesn’t rely on number of deaths but intent. But usually, genocidal intent leads to high number of deaths, doesn’t it? Especially when your military is so much more powerful.

Then again again: Srebrenica. “Only” 8000 deaths. But in 11 days.

Thing is, this is the strain that’s gonna be legalized if any. So any fun use would still be illegal.

Somehow not many contries recognize it as such even though it was such a long time ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_genocide_recognition

What you get: coffee that walks into your colon, flips a table over, and says, “Get up. We have responsibilities.”

No, Alko is pretty much the same as Systembolaget in terms of quality of service.

He has certainly achieved many things from his list. Which I think is a good thing: politicians are obviously supposed to do what they promise to do.

The actual effect of those changes will be seen in the next decade, not right now. I mean the economic changes like rent freezes, childcare funding, “affordable housing”. Devil is in the details, so those things might go fine or they might go pretty badly.

Seems to me when we get the boomers out of the way, a lot of problems also go away.

Perhaps, but then we’ll have the more difficult problem of having to fix things ourselves with nobody else to blame. If you think Democratic Socialists have all the right answers, you’re gonna be a bit disillusioned soon.

Por que no los dos

Niri & Noctalia are awesome. It’s not quite as easy to configure as Cosmic Desktop, but the paradigm works way better and faster when you get used to it.

I was also a bit resistant to the idea, but somehow finally got it. Probably on the 5th try.

DHH has built his stuff on Linux, which means that everyone using Linux is a fascist.

There’s no need for Alko monopoly, though. The original reason was to strongly limit consumption and sales, but now it’s just a store chain that’s pretty much comparable to the best alcohol stores in other countries.

Apparently, he builds a functioning (probably a very basic) LLM from those.

This does not in any way prove that LLMs aren’t sentient. Feels like a joke paper. I mean not a completely unserious one but one that’s has been written with a lot of smirk.

The actual author explains it way better though: https://adriandewynter.substack.com/p/if-llms-have-human-like-attributes

I obviously didn’t understand everything, but it seems to me that he built an LLM in AoE2 goats and basically said “look, obviously this isn’t concious” and that “obviously” is doing much more work than it should. Reductio ad absurdum.

Obviously the LLM built in AoE2 goats is conscious.

Simulated goats in the game Age of Empires II.

Of course, cheating is the only way a right-winger can win.

Soviet Union too. It was the first country to officially recognize Israel.

They have about year to go, and the pendulum seems to be swinging against them anyway. Sanchez’s coalition has been quite unpopular for a long time already.

I would guess this won’t have much effect before the next elections (August 2027). Popularity is measured between elections of course but the people in power usually have no reason to give a shit about that.

Eh, that’s a stup… I mean…

Hezbollah is almost Iran’s creation. This is a bit like asking why Iran isn’t trying to fracture the relationship between USA and CIA.
