As a Finnish person I wholeheartedly agree with Linus.

There’s a Finnish saying “Hyvän sään aikana” which translates to “When the weather is good”. Fits this very well 😂

That’s pretty much it. Now should we hold the politicians responsible, or should we piss on the Joes? I’d personally see the protesters inconveniencing the politicians, and not the Apple Store employee trying to get to his work shift.

Good example in Finland is gay rights, we got those by pressuring politicians, not by chaining ourselves to roads. It’s been proven to work, and the opposite has been seen to just get people fed up.

Quite a bridge there, to compare governments and companies ruining our habitat to women’s suffrage. Holy hell.

9 to 5 Joe is’t making the decisions and won’t be able to affect the situation apart from voting and activism, and these protests I talked about are only annoying the people the activists should be trying to win over, to be able to make a change.

Suffrage wasn’t about profit driven business, it was people being shit to people, the poor and the rich all together, if we simplify it to the root.

Disruptive protests are annoying and the best way to get people to hate your agenda. In Finland there’s a group that actively protests climate stuff by taking control of the streets, making people getting to and off from work just annoyed.

You don’t achieve change and can’t further your goals by being a prick to the normal everyday people. All you achieve is them wanting nothing to do with what you are peddling.

They do, but less than when it fucked them over. And only at the terminal in restaurant.

The McDonalds thing was simple. 90 cent burger, minus cheese, was -10 cents. Or something along that way. Basically the “hold the cheese” value was fixed but they forgot some items with cheese are piss cheap.

When you realize 90% of programming is reading, then you’ll end up embarking on a journey to make code more readable. At some point you fall in love with ligatures.

Does that in fact only affect posts, but not comments? Exactly what I needed!

I’m leaning towards that, but doesn’t hurt to ask. I might suggest this as a feature to the Sync developer, I can already filter posts and comments by keywords and it helps a ton with certain type of content. Wouldn’t be a stretch to get just a post title/community name filter.

No,. another type of ML algo could, but not an LLM. It doesn’t work like that.

I put all those in different files

compont/functions/foo.ext etc.

It still works. is_this_thing_some_thingy. Is is just a prefix for if the suffix returns true/false.

The truth is, this is the perfect type of a comment that makes an LLM hallucinate. Sounds right, very confident, but completely full of bullshit. You can’t just throw money on every problem and get it solved fast. This is an inheret flaw that can only be solved by something else than a LLM and prompt voodoo.

They will always spout nonsense. No way around it, for now. A probabilistic neural network has zero, will always have zero, and cannot have anything but zero concept of fact - only stastisically probable result for a given prompt.

It’s a politician.

None of these have good app support compared to Spotify, sadly. Not supported by my car, nor my Linux desktop, or home speakers.

Oh and Deezer pays even less to artists than Spotify.

I mean, Spotify is a great service for the consumer. One reasonable monthly fee for most of the music in the world.

If a similar video streaming service existed for 40€/month, I’d pay for it in a heartbeat. Now I have a plethora of arr apps and a vpn, and Plex. But it’s a hassle sometimes.

We’re all aware of the issues it created for the artists, and I’d be willing to double the fee if that money directly went to the artists, but this is where the capitalist model fails, as that won’t maximize the profits for shareholders.

If we ever come up with a way to fix the underlying greed models that come with publicly traded companies, that would be great.

As it stands, it is what it is, but I’m glad we have this, instead of a “different Spotify per music publisher”.

I’d bet on the French, or Finnish

This place has enough autistic people who only see black and white. Luckily it’s not a game and the points don’t matter. 😄

There’s a system over at Nova Discord where we reply to polls about the new features, we’re basically guinea pigs trying out stuff Branch is going to push out via their deals with OEMs. That’s how I’ve understood it.

There is no bytes being sent out with the beta, and replying in Discord is voluntary, obviously.

While I dislike Elon as much as anyone, having one country dictate what content is ok for ALL countries is an insane notion on itself.

Some of us can still remember Australia banning small breasts in porn, but at least they didn’t order every service to remove those globally “just because”.
