Your honest stance is that

No. You missed my point, and the overall spirit of my comment.

That Elon stuttering though.

Wikipedia says, with six sources,

The vast majority of those killed were civilians, though a small number of soldiers were also killed.

You attempt to make it sound like it was anything but a massive inhuman massacre by an oppressive regime. But it wasn’t.

You want it to have the oppressors and murderers names when it doesn’t even have the victims names?

As a memorial you could have included the soldier deaths in the memorials remembrance too, but you didn’t.

People are still oppressed and silenced today. Not being allowed to remember the victims.

What do you want it to be? A memorial for what? In what way?

Teaser says “fatal bear attack” , then article lays out/quotes how press misrepresented it as a bear attack when whether it was had no evidence. (She fell to her death while running away after seeing a bear.)

Multiple hundreds is considerable to me and beyond “hobby”. It doesn’t have to be a full time job or fairly compensated to be more than a hobby.

1.5 k has to be considered in my eyes. It’s not negligible or marginal as donations. (Note I labeled donations considerable, not their income - which I don’t know. My point was that it’s worth mentioning.)

Lemmy 2023-10-31 news post, section Funding Drive:

Before the Reddit migration, our income was almost exclusively made up of generous donations from the NLnet foundation. This funding was based on getting paid for implementing new features, specified in advance.

There seem to be considerable recurring donations now too. (Donations page, section Sponsors.)

The constant need for observation and corrective corrections in politics and political institutions is exhausting.

The need and cause are very foreign to me. I work problem-solution-oriented and person-neutral-collaborative in software development. Which is a personality and environment/systematic setup thing. And which of course sadly only works in smaller teams and groups and projects; not at the scale of EU politics.

The tasks, obligations, and responsibilities of elected politicians are clear. But that alone is not enough. Which is kind of tragic.

Not bad for a small hobby project.

Are you referring to the Lemmy project or the Lemmy.world instance? Because Lemmy has two paid devs, and had two a while.

I don’t think we do.

If you’re so opposed to NATO, do you side with Russia then? Don’t they do the same, on a larger scale and more openly?

Do you side with neither? Is siding with neither not accepting aggression with all its consequences?

What’s your alternative? Your solution?

The title made me think of something completely different from what he actually said (the quotes are in the article).

• He specifically talks about national stupidity, not individual or people/citizen stupidity
• He says the technology is neutral, the concern is in how it is being used

What they’re saying is not that “stupidity is a bigger threat than AI”. They’re not separate ideas. He says he is worried about how AI is being used more than the technology and technological development itself.

“With this in mind, artificial intelligence is a tool. It is an algorithm made by humans, that is run by computers made by humans, that controls machines made by humans. I am more afraid, more worried [about] national stupidity than artificial intelligence to be honest,” he added.

“I have a scientific background, so I definitely consider technology as neutral. The problem is the user, not the technology itself.”

The EU already puts a price on many of the emissions created by European firms; now, through the new Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, or CBAM, the bloc will charge companies that import the targeted products

The new regulations include an important nudge to other governments. CBAM regulations state that if a company pays a carbon fee at home, it won’t also have to pay the EU—just the difference, if the EU’s price is higher.

32 people are charged so far

That number is likely to rise, and will likely include officials from the railways’ regulatory authority.

So mostly still ongoing. It’s not too surprising after one year. Prosecution and court proceedings are slow.

Another CEO resigned, and he took over (for eight days).

AWACS stands for Airborne Warning & Control System (AWACS)

She showed documented child rape material in a closed meeting (I think it was to press?) to gain support for her online regulation/blocking efforts. It’s when I learned of the term demagoge.

Between that, her work as a defense minister (costly contracts to contractors) and no improvements to the military, and what you said, I feel like at least I don’t hear as much or as bad things of her as president. Which alone is a low bar of course.

The European Union cut off more than $100 billion in funding to Poland as part of its dispute with the previous government, funds that began to be reinstated once voters elected the new, liberal government committed to doing away with Law and Justice’s changes.

It’s always baffling to read how much money the EU sends out in funding - not just to EU states, but in general to support EU values even outside of the EU.

Cutting off 100 billion in funding is certainly noteworthy.

Very interesting article about how they were able to free the media.

even though I didn’t think I knew the lyrics

Did they remove teeth and install antennas? Made you into a radio?
