@yacc143 What is there to learn? You just use it and pick as much as you need to as you go. Mint w the Cinnamon desktop or Zorin are popular places to start. It doesn't need to be complicated at all and for anyone familiar w Windows 7, say, is in many ways easier than moving to later versions of Windows.

So Broadcom, the new VMware owner in less than a quarter changes the licence model to subscription only, and kicks out most service and sales partner, informing them on the quick that their contracts will be terminated and not renewed. Or perhaps, nobody exactly knows.

That literally screams build your business on closed source products, doesn't it?

They call the anti business , but somehow the mainstream is quite okay to overlook unacceptable behaviour from the big players?

@cr1901 I'd so like some RV64G that's at least as good as RPi3 at least... What GPU would be available for this?

@wonka @cr1901 Odroid stuff maybe?

Considering the AI-hype @pluralistic

People tend to forget, that in the 1960s, non-techies were fooled by Eliza. And spent hours with the psychotherapist telling Eliza their personal problems.

So the current psychosis with ChatGPT is not completely new.

yacc143,

@pluralistic Ah, but the anecdote is still taught in uni, sigh.

And Wikipedia is also spreading it.

As it was before my time, I cannot say what happened, for sure

@pluralistic @yacc143 “the 1960s” might be too narrow here, but if that is extended into the 70s and 80s, it’s definitely true. Not that they couldn’t tell they were talking to a computer, but that there was something deeper than just simple string replacement, hence “fooled”.

Frage: wieso ist es für Spotify relevant WAS die Kunden hören? Ob ich jetzt mit Phil Collins oder White noise einschlafe sollte doch keinen Unterschied machen?

Ohne in die Details zu gehen (leider indirekt betroffen, und ich wurde gebeten nichts zu sagen), scheint sich ein neuer Abmahntrend bei uns Österreich zu entwickeln, laut unserem RA:

  • ist es leider schon aus judiziert das Retweeter mithaften für den Tweet.
  • Das coole ist, dass man als Retweeter aber absolut nichts mitbekommt, dass wegen des Originaltweet Zivil- oder Strafverfahren laufen.
  • und wenn der Orginaltweet sich als üble Nachrede, etc also illegal herausstellt,
yacc143,

Was mir sauer hochstösst ist, das man hier defakto für das Posten eines Links zur Kasse gebeten wird, und gleichzeitig nicht einmal effektiv eine Möglichkeit rechtlich zu verteidigen: das oder die Verfahren über den Original Post sind ja schon gelaufen.


Ja theoretisch könnte man nochmal darum vor Gericht streiten.

Klar dasselbe Gericht wird effektiv denselben Post von einem anderen Account plötzlich anders bewerten?

yacc143,

@jwildeboer Quote Boost ist „harmloser", weil man da erläutern kann, wie man zu Original Post, steht, oder ein CW "Satire“ drauf tackern.

Boost → da würde man ziemlich sicher nach aktueller österreichischer Rechtsprechung voll mithaften.

That's what you get when you run public transit as a business.

It's a public utility, thus it shouldn't be strictly run by bean counters. Things like how much of the population does not need a private car or can get away with car sharing should be also important criteria.

Remote work is straining public transit — and many agencies are stuck https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/03/public-transit-office-workers-00094999

Funny how the Brits cannot understand that a common currency is important to a single market: Just was doing my travel reimbursements, and being holier than the pope, I did take the exact costs that were charged to my card for the train tickets in the UK.

4 days difference, and 6 cent difference. €14.25 versus €14.19.
0.4% in € price difference.

One might argue that this is irrelevant, but with margins in many industries being way below 5%, these currency fluctuations are major.

@yacc143 You're not wrong. Don't forget that it has happened quite often that the likes of BP have made more money from treasury operations than from their core business operations, and, ofc, others have blown up. People sitting on lots of cash like to find ways to juice their returns regardless of the underlying fundamentals (and reward themselves accordingly, leaving the subsequent fallout to successors & govts + taxpayers).

A few, like the Bank of North Dakota, have different values.

yacc143,

@samueljohnson Well, private profits, socialized losses, what's not to like.

With these rules, it's hard to find a business not to like.
