  • I tried using the official app as I had a relapse - I gave it a serious shot, but it is just soooooo behind the UI in Apollo. It so many little things it gets wrong, but overall It’s just not fun to use…

    I think this is the reason I like Voyager so much, it’s beginning to look a lot like Apollo ❤️


  • Look around, Helen. American politics can’t get much worse, so if it’s a bloodsport they want, it’s a bloodsport they’ll get.

    If you think the answer is to be as morally bankrupt as you think your opponent is, you are ignoring your own supposed values.

    edit: How very, very convenient that you don’t even live in the US and so you’ll never be directly affected by Mitch McConnell’s actions and have the luxury of finger-wagging at those of us mired in his shit, all the way from the other side of the fucking ocean. How very convenient indeed.

    Your are right. But American politics have a way of being everyone’s business and influence a lot of people - people from the EU included. I see this influence on our political system, and it is not pretty. The idea about not playing by any rules is just sad; if you have no compass you are truly lost and don’t really work for anything.

    Side note: I am amazed that you think my nationality excludes me from having an opinion on this. It highlights the problem with a community called ‘politics’ on lemmy.****world only about American politics - and apparently only for Americans.


  • I am not going to reply to everybody. But most of the comments - yours too - underline my point.

    For me, politics is about creating something better together. Alienating others in the way that’s being expressed here achieves absolutely nothing. It creates no improvement, only more hatred and division.

    One big problem with American politics is the polarization between the individuals who should be collaborating. You too are part of the problem with this approach and almost every comment in this thread is just fuel for the fire for someone else.







  • This is so exciting - there is a big potential here, if we are careful and cautious.

    I think the computer scientist they interview in the article hits the nail on the head with his statement:

    these models “should always be regarded as assistants rather than the final decision makers

    AI technologies as an extension of human ability is going to revolutionise a lot of professional fields. But, we need to approach the technology the right way! We need to start early, and have digital literacy as a focus area in schools.

    Local officials have said that delivery workers receive approximately $11 hourly after tips, given their out-of-pocket expenses – which is $4 less than New York City’s minimum wage of $15

    That wage is insulting, both to the workers and the city. Kick the business’ out of town - someone other will fill the vacuum and do it better.
