Yes, people are driving less when gas prices are high.

OK, DIRECTOR Michael Kratsios, but why should we give a shit?

American AI corporations are pushing up the prices for computing, making it unaffordable for the common man. Additionally, they have built their entire business on stealing(yes, stealing) work from us.

So fuck em

All of your examples are things many people are no longer doing because they can't afford them.

No thanks.

I think it’s pretty straightforward, and I suspect most people do. If your working and paying taxes and otherwise integrating, you are.

People aren’t “making compromises” they are totally oblivious to the evil shit Google, Meta, etc is doing.

Should be noted that for years(decades?) they didn't do any statistics regarding the heritage of criminals because of the taboo, while a massive influx of migrants was coming.

No, not all all? Markus Allard doesn't seem to want to kick out productive members of society.

I use the internet browser on the TV to watch the local broadcasts(SRF).

Next I will get a dumb monitor and hook up and old laptop to it with Kodi.

The same way I don't have to provide "facts" if I make a statement that the sky is blue, I don't need to provide the "facts" if I claim that the massive influx of mostly male immigrants from dysfunctional, clan based societies, is detrimental to society.

It is the person who claims otherwise who must provide the contrarian evidence.

It's happening so fast now.

AI will absolutely dominate our future. I believe we have only scratched the surface of what is possible.

Maybe I'm pessimistic but I always thought Bill Joy was prescient.

Personally I welcome more parties in the Swedish Riksdag.

It is also interesting how they may get their seat.

Örebropartiet is a local party to Örebro, but because they are getting a lot of votes in the local district election they may end up in a seat in the Riksdag, which is highly unusual.

I am a migrant FROM Sweden(to Switzerland) and the Swedes absolutely want you to speak Swedish. At least this has been my experience living in Switzerland. They prefer that

I speak broken German rather than English. Even many who speak English flawlessly. But you will be tolerated if you are overall a net contributor, that is right.

These are basic facts to anyone who has had any experience with Swedish society for hte last years.

If YOU are claiming that the meteoric rise in violence in Sweden is not related to the insane levels of refugees from the middle east that came during the same period, the burden of proof is on YOU.

NO country has gone through the same level of demographic change, unwanted by the Swedes, mind you. The Swedish population was never in favor of this politics and explains the meteoric rise of Sverigedemokraterna, a party founded by literal Nazis(Gustaf Ekström, a Waffen-SS volunteer).

Why this happened, can be discussed in eternity. Probably to understand you should read The New Totalitarians.

You can start by checking mug photos.

I have migrated from Sweden and frequently return for work and for family visits. It's still a great country, if you avoid "certain areas". Weird, that these "certain areas" are predominately populated with strangers from a different part of the world who enjoy welfare benefits but either don't want, or can't integrate.

Not surprised.

My wife CONVINCED me to buy an LG tv instead of my typical dumb monitor.

Now I get constant ads and a constant nagging of updates available, that will install more ads and spying features...

FreeBSD is absolutely Free Software.

God like powers are not necessary.

What is necessary are pretty basic killer robots with the capability of determining who is a friend and who is a foe. These systems already exist.

Labor is a commodity that has had a diminishing value in our current, capitalist system. That means, people who rely on their labor(most of us) instead of capital(a few), have control over less and less resources(this is already happening).

With the current trend, what generation of your grand children will have nothing at all?

Or perhaps, they stand to benefit?

Do you believe "micro services" can make a comeback? local daemons with an exposed API, each daemon vibe coded?

The point is to increase the signal to noise ratio, by having a community rating system.

I don't understand the constant (almost always unsubstantiated) criticism of the *BSDs from many Linux advocates.

Personally I evaluate each OS by it's merit, and I've concluded that OpenBSD, FreeBSD and some Linux distributions(I use arch btw) are solid operating systems.

On the server I prefer FreeBSD because of it's amazing flexibility, and stable yet evolutionary base system and in my opinion, superior init system. Simple RC scripts FTW.

I use Arch Linux for superior software and hardware support, related to client usage.

I use OpenBSD for various network appliances.

The “individuals”, though, are reduced to performing a business function within the corporation.

Then how do you pay?

Indeed - Get to the point.

Not necessarily.

Depends on the quality of the code being written.

Quality*Quantity

Honestly these political rants contribute very little, no offence.

They are not “extreme”.

Did you try to apply for a visa? It’s a horribly buggy form

Did you try using it?

I’ve applied for evisas to India multiple times, it’s extremely buggy and many times you’ll have to start again from the beginning… additionally, their payment processing is often not functional so you have to keep retrying the payment…

Once the visa is applied for, the process is usually quick.

They are all economically aligned with the Netherlands in a way mainland China never will be.

Why, so China can copy the technology and produce their one 5 years later?
