• What is their stance regarding LLM code?

  I tried to find it myself, but all I could find is about them removing AI features from the browser. I admit, I’m not the best at using interwebs searches these days (also most of the search engines suck ass anyway), so it might be just me not finding the correct thing.

• Its not going to happen suddenly (I hope). You should have like 5 years of warnings, then at least 3 years of time to do the application process and perhaps even a few years of grace period if the process takes longer than anticipated.

  But yeah, if you live here, should probably get the citizenship, because why not

• Their immature screeching made me switch back to Firefox after many years.

  Can you elaborate on this a bit? I’ve been using Librewolf for a while now and while I understand they take a sort of hardcore stance on the privacy stuff and its at times a bit annoying, I haven’t had any major issues with actually using it. Though I did download Waterfox recently and have been meaning to give it a go, seems a bit more chill.

  Anyway, I’m unaware of any “immature screeching” (mainly because of my own ignorance, not disputing that this hasn’t happened, just looking for more information), could you expand on that?

• Oh, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean that you should have empathy. Of course its their own fault for not figuring this shit out, takes 3 minutes to do. In fact, I actively mock people when ever I see them using the internet without a condom. I find thats the easiest way to get them to be interested, any time I have to use someone else machines, I go “hooooly fuck, what is all this shit? Do you have virus or something?! No? What adblocker do you use? YOU DONT?! What the fuck is the matter with you? Install ublock right away, are you insane?!” etc etc. Its quite fun to do.

• I would argue that, at the moment, Canada has more space for maneuver than Japan and the EU.

  Japan has its own restrictions and is surrounded by sea on one side, china and russia on the other side with the Koreas in the middle with… complicated relationship.

  The EU is (as much as I love it and hate to say it) a mess, with the economy being what is, the weather messing up harvests and shit, literal war like 7 meters away from the border and the very real threat of the war being 7 meters inside the border in the near future.

  Both EU and Japan have to keep the toddler-in-chief happy, for now. Make no mistake, there is A LOT happening behind the scenes, at least in the EU, don’t know about Japan. But can’t afford to do anything major just now. The things that need to happen first take time to make happen. When they do, EU will have so much more options. And when that time comes, I’m afraid the US will be the ones standing alone, in complete shock, wondering what the hell happened.

  Don’t get me wrong, I’d love for the EU to start swinging right now. But that would have some major consequences, some predictable, some unforeseen.

• I wonder, what would be examples of games with badly done art that is overlooked because the game itself is good.

  And I think stuff like Minecraft doesn’t count, because with that style, the uglyness is a choice, not a result of not being able to make things look a certain way.

• Its funny how “little” things like a shopping mall can be so different. In America, they are usually places you drive your vehicle to, spend the day (or something close to that nature, I’ve been lead to understand). Over here, theres one huge shopping mall (I think its like 1 kilometer long and 400m wide or something silly like that), it has a giant car park, its right next to the motorway, its in the middle of nothing, theres no housing close by, the only thing is a Lidl on the other side of the street and some car shops. But other than that, its “in the middle of nowhere”. Its about 10-15 minute drive from the nearest city. Its very easy to get to with a car. The mall has been struggling since day one. Sure, during Christmas shopping its full and whatnot, but outside any sales campaigns or events, its pretty quiet. I know, because I used to stop there for a coffee and bun, when I was driving trucks, and I liked places that were quiet. I even joked about it with the coffee shop owner, she said “well, for the sake of my wallet, I do hope you stop coming here” and I wished the same for her. Sadly I stopped going there for unrelated reasons and the café had to close because of lack of customers.

  Anyway.. The city that is close to the out-of-the-way shopping mall, has like 4 shopping malls in the center, all thriving. The newest one was built a few years ago and is a great success. All because the center of the city is extremely accessible with public transport and its walkable. You can walk from one mall to the other in like 4-10 minutes. You have all the shops you need within a 20 minute walking radius. And you dont need to drive your car anywhere, you can enjoy the benefits of the city, you can go have a picnic… Malls that you have to drive to are just silly in my opinion lol.

  The funny thing is that a huge problem with online shopping people swore Amazon had gotten past, the inability to gauge the quality of the item before buying has come back in full force, people are just so used to garbage materials when buying in Amazon they don’t realize it now

  This is the main reason I just cant deal with online shopping. I don’t care if the shop has a excellent return policy or whatever. If I have to walk to the post office to mail the package back, I might as well walk to the shop that sells the thing in the first place, choose one that is not damaged or defective and live happily ever after.

• For me its quite funny to discuss Amazon.. I live in a country where Amazon does operate, but its not a main thing at all. I dont think they even have their own delivery vans here, its all done via third parties because it doesnt make sense enough to have their own systems for the 43 people who use it.

  Some time ago I was discussing Amazon with an American and said that I have never needed Amazon for anything in my life. Then they asked me “well where do you go when you need dog food, a new drill bit set and bathroom cleaning products” and I just said “to the shopping center 700m away from me?” I dont know if Americans have forgot that malls are a thing, or have malls disappeared from there completely, but based on that guys response, it was like I was talking about going to a different planet. Some people are way too deep into these things… Its pretty concerning, in my opinion.

• Yeah thats one of the reasons I enjoy a smaller community with the IRC network and forum I was talking about. Its so much nicer to converse when you know its a person on the other side of the screen. I spend more time and effort on responses when I know the user already, at least on some level. With reddit and mastodon its more like “send whatever, turn off notifications” type of deal.

  Though with reddit even thats coming to an end, rumor is they gonna finally axe old.reddit. I’m sort of holding out until then, the formula1 sub is quite valuable for me still, even though even that place is full of morons now. With Mastodon I never got off the ground. I log in like once a month, if that, read a couple of posts and then log off again. Maybe its because I mainly use it with my phone, I dont remember my password and the mobile browser is the only place where its saved hahah

• I’ve actually started to enjoy internet more recently. I went back to IRC, found a nice network with a wholesome community which is growing all the time. Recently added a phpbb based forum, which is not very active yet but thats more because its fairly new. Lots of self hosting enthusiasts there, I’ve learned a bunch. Spent the last few weeks setting up Jellyfin and Navidrome for my dad to use, so he doesnt have to deal with repeats on the Telly or pay for stupid subscriptions. I did the navidrome with a old laptop, I put in a headless Debian and use it through SSH on my Fedora. A year ago I barely knew how to do “sudo apt install”, without this community I wouldnt have been able to do any of it. For the first time in 15 years, I’m enjoying my time online. Like properly enjoying.

  So its not about internet being ruined, its about finding that spot that you can enjoy. Let people rot their brains in tiktak and facetagram, you find yourself a nice community of like minded people. It takes some effort, but the communities are there. And if they are not, make one yourself.

• I like Bernie and hate AI, but I fear this is a bit pointless.. Does he even have enough power and/or colleagues to do anything, anything at all? Same thing as with most things he shouts about, healthcare and whatnot. He says the right things but with the current insanity and insane system in the US, hes never going to get anything done.

  Of course I am not suggesting that he should stop. I think he should keep going, shouting at the things. But his threats are starting to be a bit hollow. Sadly.

  I dont know what my point is, I just despair at everything these days. Plargh.
