If you believe data entry is 80% of the work here, you do not in the slightest understand the other ”20%”. I can assure you that data entry is the least of your problem. If you have the data, a script to enter it into a DB will be the least of the worries here.

That’s also why you likely can pick someone up on Fiverr to do it for you for a couple of hundred bucks. Or do it yourself. Want someone to build your app, even without the data entry? You’re looking at thousands.

And that’s basically what you will need to do. Pay someone to do the work you can’t. Look at upwork or similar sites.

I get paid $150/h to write code at work (horrible pay compared to many parts of the world). Why would I spend months on your project for less?

What do you think the response would be if you asked on a remodelling forum, how you were to complete your new kitchen? You’ve bought the tools needed, the material. Drawings are made. It’s just the last ”20%” left. Where can I find someone to do it? Well, it’s not the last 20%. The job hasn’t even started yet. And you pay someone, or learn to do it yourself.

I mean barely… Most bank offices in Sweden do not handle cash at all.

I don’t really care, nor do I see it like a big deal. I’ve done my best in the past, but it’s also easy to say it wrong by accident.

Also, I don’t have the least idea what 2SLGBTQIA+ means, so I need the person to be clear with me what I should say.

Yes. To allow a third term; if the president have not served two consecutive ones.

Germany is the 2nd / 3rd largest contributor with about €15 billion. And you bring up 5000 helmets? That’s just pathetic and false.

Also, make sure to use per capita numbers.

It’s the size really. As with most social media platforms, often they are fairly easy to create (YouTube definitely isn’t, but many could). Problem is that it’s impossible to compete with, because people expect the activity you get from hundreds of millions of users.

Same goes for Twitter, Reddit and whatnot. Since capitalism took over the internet completely, basically none of the large plattforms have been outcompeted really.

To big to fail isn’t the banks nowadays, well then to, but it’s IT as well.

So was Hitler, Chavez, Erdogan among others. This take is so blind to history it’s absurd. Facists are often elected democratically.

And they do stage coups. Hitler did, Marcos did in the Philippines, Fujimori in Peru, as well as Chavez and Erdoğan.

It sounds like they are exercising their contingency plan

Any organization or company losing their by far largest member / customer will be severely affected. Not all to much to learn from that, if they weren’t - they’d be running the organization like morons.

50% is decent, if it had any idea of when it actually was correct or not. But 50% is not very good, when the 50% that’s faulty, results in it going of on a long tangent spewing lies. Lies that are incredibly real looking, takes immense knowledge or huge amounts of time to check.

If you’re well versed enough in the subject to spot the lies, you likely wont get much help from AI. And if you aren’t, well, you’re going to be learning a lot of incorrect information. Or spend ridiculous amount of times fact checking.

Works a bit like that for software developing at the moment. AI is incredibly at spewing out code quickly. But the time won by copying it, is lost looking for errors that are extremely well hidden.

That might be true. But the solution to that, is not ”move further to the left” or ”wait for the right to fuck up”. It’s then to help people not to be afraid, to educate them.

I very much hope you’re right, but I’ve seen this trend for over 20 years in Sweden now. With basically zero indication it’s turning.

Just getting worse.

Have I said anything else? My point was that there seem to be few indications of the people actually wanting leftist politics, and leftist leaders.

Do they though? Even leftist countries are drawing towards right wing extremists.

There are few places were leftist policies and leaders are doing well… and sure, they don’t exist in the US. But they do at many other places.

We’re slowly working towards becoming right wing

Anti-corp is not an issue where you either are, or you aren’t. It’s a scale. And people are voting for the party that is highest on the pro-corp scale in basically all of the world.

Makes it hard to believe that is such an important issue for people.

Doesn’t really seem like America really wants to cut ties with big corporations, seeing how people are voting. Nor identity politics for that matter, seems more important than ever among the right wing. Just that their identity politics is of a different kind.

I’m not saying I know wether it would be a good idea to actually do what you’re proposing. But I think people are way to quick to know the solution. Because it resonates with their own beliefs.

Worse than Nasdaq losing 80% of its value? Highly doubt it. Tech companies were bleeding.

But Denmark is.

Out of all my family and friends, if I had to pick one person to save my life based on wether they could find the correct password to a site or not. I’d go with my 80 year old grandma. She does it with pen and paper. It’s a god damn blessing doing tech support for her, she has every little detail on there.

What’s worrying is social media being politicised. There was a time when it was not, and it was hell of a lot better than what we have now.

I’m not on Bluesky because it aligns with my political views. I’m there because I do not have to look at, or engage in politics. I can speak about my interests. Really quite lovely.
