Well, I assume this is only the case if it could be his child. Not a completely outlandish view. As long as he takes the parenthood upon himself.

Time to use DuckDuckGo or Startpage

DuckDuckGo and Startpage are the way

I disagree with this. Just reviewing the code is exactly what I mean by “properly being checked and tested”.

There are people/companies that just vibe code the hell out of their stuff without any review whatsoever. That’s not something I want to touch.

Personally I am okay with code being written by AI as long as it is properly being checked and tested. The CEO is a prime example of management becoming a security and safety risk, which all engineers know is very dangerous. It is the same story as what caused the Challenger disaster.

I have a 2 year ProtonVPN Plus subscription so there is not really a point in canceling it right now, but if this situation doesn’t change by the end of those 2 years I’m inclined to not renew it.

That CEO needs to step down, not just for their reputation but for the safety of their software.

You were talking about “a company”, so I said “they” ie companies in general that replace their workforce by AI.

Im starting to discover this too… Just too stubborn to give in, and I don’t want the instance I am currently using to die.

Well they fired a lot of people, which means that the people that are not fired need to become more productive in order to keep up… but indeed the quality has been going down for many services.

At this point I am not even complaining, just purely begging

Ngl, this means nothing. People that hate data centers talk more about it online than people that don’t hate them.

If you were to ask people in a proportionally chosen group whether they are against data centers, the result would be pretty different I presume.

I think I figured it out. Seems like due to my instance not being that active, many PieFed communities are not searchable because nobody interacted with them from my instance. After I input the specific community in the URL, and thén try to search, i can find it through the search function on my instance…

Well… ask the socialists that proposed it what their reasoning was…

Billionaire Tax isn’t even enough.

The problem is that all the boomers are retiring and demographically and economically that’s just impossible to keep up with. Their government has the highest debt of Europe, but meanwhile the lowest retiring age of all and a huge bureaucracy. 1 in 3 French people work for the government. It is just not possible, no matter who or how much you tax people.

I fear for the day that France goes bankrupt and the EU goes down with them… The Netherlands has been so strict with its budgeting and it would all go to waste thanks to France.

“Draconian taxes” meanwhile France is in draconian debt.

France will go bankrupt if they dont cut their government spending by a huge amount. But any proposal in that direction causes riots. So instead their government is just driving at full speed towards bankruptcy.

Won’t pass the Senate, the National Assembly has many more members than just 21

I am confused by this comment. Could you explain it in a calmer tone so that uninvolved users can chime in?

That is not true. I made a Lemmy account around the time they started fucking with the API, if I remember correctly. I wasn’t that active here because I felt like the content was very limited and the people too radical.

Now that my Reddit account has been restricted because “you need to verify your age” 🤡 Not just NSFW stuff restricted, the whole site is restricted for my account. Can’t even access my account settings anymore. (I really should figure something out but alas I care too little).

That’s why I have become more active here. No other options.

Can somebody explain to me the differences between Lemmy and Piefed? It seems I am unable to access Piefed communities but they are amongst us. Has this to do with my specific instance not being federated with them or am I missing something else?

The use case of Discord is not meant to be open… it is meant to provide a chat room hidden from the public. That is the whole point of Discord or other chat clients like that.

It is like choosing to ask your friend whether they can help you, that isn’t open information either.
