Colonialism is when capitalists do to other countries what they’ve practiced doing in their own.

" Word will now save new documents to OneDrive by default — and that changes everything"

Wouldn’t it be great if all your docs were stored out in the cloud? Just think, you wouldn’t need a hard drive! And someone else could guard them for you, like, say, Deputy Dan. http://descope.kwwhitaker.com/wallofscience.html

Nope, and this one is NOT going to change that … can’t take all that cutesy animation and the fast-flowing babble for 2 minutes, let alone 12

It really helps to try to think about the other side of any question. That’s what good debaters do, so they can figure out the best responses to what the others’ arguments might be.

Me too … LEMMY added that, out of my control. So I replaced it with my idea of what a typical LLM looks like.

You -do- realize you’re getting advice from a machine that constructs sentences using mathematical algorithms, and has no clue at all what it’s saying … right?

Yep. The E.U. has allowed itself to be dominated for too long by the US megacorps. It has the talent, ideas, and manufacturing to tell US firms to bugger off … and the sooner, the better for us all.

A funny thing happened back in the middle 1800s. A man ran a 7-ton electric locomotive a mile and a half. The motor was powered by a storage device. In the late 1800s, people drove their cars around all day using a storage device. These storage devices became better and better, until they could power trucks and buses for hundreds of miles.

They are still getting better and better. Of course they can be depleted, and it’s good to havea backup methods to cover these cases and to keep the storage devices charged when there’s no sun or wind. Hydroelectric dams powered by water-storage are widely-used, and some flat places still burn fossil fuels to do that as well.

He used to have more taste, before the Borging.
