Latin America. They are not aligned with NATO or Russia/China. And the level of life quality have greatly improved in later years. In fact many migrants feel cheated when coming here because they thought europe was better than it actually is in comparison.
My country used to be a fascist dictatorship and there’s still plenty of people alive who were educated on false information and a different fabricated version of history.
Certainly missinformation is not anything new.
And people should prevent it and solve it the same way it has always be solved. Taking the missinformators out of power.
It’s not a tech issue. It’s a political issue.
I was a simpler kid. I just thought that the sun was going to just disappear and we wouldn’t notice for 8 minutes.
I was literally looking at the sky thinking the sun has already be gone.
It’s impossible to truly prove it. Especially if it was a mixed media process. For instance generating AI image and then painting over that.
And if anyone would want to they could hand paint a picture that would look like AI made.
So, no way to do it with 100% accuracy.

For girls, I have to go hunting a Dragon with the sword of King Arthur to be considered worth of a cup of coffee.
There are people who hate anything new.
Call it flatpak, call it wayland, call it systemd. There’s always haters.
Build it from source them.
I don’t know what I’m reading.
Here people mostly use debit cards, and we don’t worry about things like credit scores or whatever. Also these cards tend to be free. At the end, they just give you a convenient way of paying with money you actually own.
Why would anyone buy normal stuff using credit? I get it for big purchases as a house or a car. But why go into debt for groceries or a new laptop?
The thing is that I already have a server and a few Terabytes of unused storage. So that would not be an issue. As long as storage doesn’t en up adding that much. I know that the fediverse protocol likes to replicate storage among all servers involved in an interaction. Though I wonder if it would be possible to safely erase old data, specially if I’m just hosting it for myself. I need to investigate on that.
But for the other costs I already have a server running 24/7 on my house and several Tb of Storage. I already pay for that regardless as I use it for other things. Though ideally I would not want to allocate more than 500Gb for a one person instance, idk how reasonable would that be.
And I also need to investigate how are the normal federation politics with one person instances. If it is like trying to host an email server would be hell as you’ll get mark as spam by a lot of providers.
And now that I’m wondering things I wonder how feasible would it be to host very small instances on cheap devices like sbc or cheap mini-pc. Maybe aiming for thousands of instances with a few dozen people in each instead of a few dozen of instances with thousand of people in them.
I have always thought of hosting a fediverse instance for myself.
I already have a server for personal usage, the technical knowledge and it would stop being a burden on other people’s servers.
Does anyone have experience with this. The federation system works fine with one person instance? Storage goes out to the roof?
Things doesn’t usually work like that.
Rent subsidiaries work by your annual income and usually the cost of your rent.
For instance they may pay you 300€ a month for your rent as long as your income is less than 30.000€ a year and your rent is bellow 800€/month. And increasing the thresholds if you have kids or if you are part of a protected collective.
They may be above these thresholds. It’s pretty common in Europe for people who struggle to meet ends are above the needed thresholds for getting help. As prices have gone really up and the bar for being lower class have change a lot lately as there is a lot of new extremely poor people to help. So money don’t end up being enough for all. And people with normal jobs and who live alone or with their SO usually do not get any help even if they need it.
The welfare state is kind of falling apart in the latest years.
Android seems far more likely cause.
This is a response to a comment that said that a human being would drive better to specify that it’s being vastly proven that that is not the truth.
But, once again, we are in Lemmy. So New Technology = bad.
Most people have exactly the same opinion about any self-driving car. Even those using lidar.
Lemmy has a high anti technology bias.
Ok, clippy I will go climbing that dangerous mountain during storm season.
Drunk humans get tricked by things that computerized cars does not, though.
But by the state of the current butlerian yihad anything technologically advanced is to be criticized and destroyed, even if it saves lives.
Results may vary depending on the alcohol currently running in the human blood.
One of the things I am advocate for self driving cars is that they cannot get drunk and drive.
Edit: aaah yes, Lemmy, downvoted per telling that people drink and drive. Classic Lemmy.
I don’t think the United States is going to turn into freaking Yemen. It’s not good for your mental health and those surrounding you to start thinking you are actually going to get executed or something like that.

I am very proficient with the terminal. But there are many use cases when I want a OS that does not need the terminal at all. For instances media dedicated pcs.
I have a pc that I only use from the couch, for playing games a viewing media, and using the terminal from my remote size keyboard is a bore, I would prefer a 100% gui solution for that usage.
