Oh, no, all the continent is now EU associate member.

Gringoland should now join BRICS.

Same thing with motorbikes, sport cars and epic guitar solos.

I mean, I know phones can be cheap or donated. And I also know that homeless people may have possessions that some consider “expensive”. It’s not that uncommon.

But constant internet connection needs monthly payments that, in my very personal and particular mindset, are not really compatible with “I’m a beggar. I need help”.

Having knowledge of the Fediverse it’s too niche for me, and the stories like “I can’t pay groceries!” almost every week are unlikely in a place where most of folks are tech workers. My spam-meter says that probably some people out there found the #mutualaid hashtag and are making some fake profiles and fake stories.

I just mute all of them.

It may be my “3rd world syndrome” but to me, someone with internet access and a social media account who post regularly, is not in poverty. More likely a spambot.

My local beggar, in contrast, is a sincere person who tells me that he just want some cheap boxed wine or something to smoke. Refuses food or any kind of help. Cash only.

Sometimes I use my bike when I go to see some of my friends.

A bit obsolete this thing about “owning” a bike. Bike subscriptions are way more convenient!

Also it’s harder to track you when you are using this old-fashioned “dumb” bike.

Investing money in ways to lower the retirement age, or at least stopping it to get higher.

Or give money to nvidia.

The choice is clear for this great leader.

The worst enemy of a leftie are other slightly different lefties lol

The good think of federation is that you can mute/block morons. And because there’s no “algorithm” you are not shown content that the server thinks you are interested. So you have to be proactive and follow what you want to see, and mute the ones you dislike.

Also, you can have multiple accounts for multiple purposes. It’s sane not to discuss politics with other people from other cultures all day, so you can have a dedicated account for that. And other account to have fun in a sane way, which includes muting politics.

In the case of this girl, she was american like the majority of lemmings I believe. But for people from the other hemisphere, the cultural shock may be even worse. My advice for those is always: Just mute. Don’t argue and don’t feed trolls. Nobody is gonna change opinions anyways.

Once I saw a (tailless) cow wearing uniform.

I might not be hired as a translator

Everything in automation has the same effect: human work becomes obsolete.

Most of the time is work that nobody likes, like elevator operator or copying books by hand. Sometimes is work that someone likes, like knitting or distributing newspaper by bike.

LLMs and stuff like that is nothing new in that regard. Although today LLMs are not an actual replacement of a professional translator.

It’s not FOSS and I don’t see a way to review if what they claim is actually true.

It may be a way to just help to diferentiate legitimate human made work vs machine-generated ones, thus helping AI training models.

Can’t demostrate that fact neither, because of its license that expressly forbids sofware adaptions to other uses.

“let’s rape her” anon had some bad influences.

Nobody broke the law lol.

I believe they have like a month to comply.

The just asked for a ticket in the app, to make their lifes easier. If OP doesn’t want to, they still have to comply though.

Now I remember why I hate working directly with customers.

They were very friendly imo. No need to speak legalese or to be rude.

Just tell them that you can’t or don’t want to install the app.

If they don’t help you, then you proceed to remind them that you are not required to install anything for them to comply with GDPR.

Kubernetes is useful if you have gone full cattle over pets. And that is very uncommon in home setups. If you only own one or two small machines you cannot destroy infra easily in a “cattle” way, and the bloatware that comes with Kubernetes doesn’t help you neither.

In homelabs and home servers the pros of Kubernetes are not very useful: high availability, auto-scaling, gitops integrations, etc: Why would you need autoscaling and HA for a SFTP used only by you? Instead you write a docker-compose.yml and call it a day.
