What usually happens is the area becomes too rich for the usual folk who have lived there since their birth. Now they can’t eat at a restaurant in their own home town.

just to teabag another nation.

Gestures broadly at the space race of the 1950s

Actually a little bit of humiliation goes a long way towards diligence when conducting expensive space experiments. Russia used to be the leaders in these fields. The world used to rely on Soviet vehicles for launch. They deserve to be held at a higher standard.

Why did the coup occur? Do the citizens of Niger support the coup?

So it’s an inconvenience you would rather not put up with and let some old coot die.

No surprise. Land of the free… but also the land of the inconsiderate, and also perhaps selfish.

Its for yor benefit. And NHS actually saves lives.

Why don’t businesses do away with free and go to a completely paid model?

Let’s continue on this path of thinking: Customers already pay using their data. So if you want to show ads you have to pay customers since you are scrapping their data?

Ok then hear me out. Let free content supported by ads die out. Make everything paid.

Because Redhat has IBM hands shoved up through it’s ass upto it’s brains so it’s days are numbered.

Don’t underestimate IBM honchos to fuck up a good thing. Recently heard Redhat dropping dev support for a bunch of packages in fedora or something.

The moment someone fucks up… open source always brings alternatives. See: open office vs. Libreoffice… the bunch of firefox derivatives.

The AFD disagree with you

When you kill people who say otherwise… all there is left is people who praise you… either out of fear or out of stupidity.

I guess most people can’t afford (both time and money) to run an LLM just to have a saner browsing experience. So i suspect the key to adoption would be for the community to band together and spawn some LLM servers for the community backed by donations or other sustainable practices.

The future is probably once again crowd computing. We could probably use the federated network to distribute LLM requests from the community and load balance among those that are running LLM endpoints.

Ah the “I’m not crazy! You are!” Stage of deranged authoritarians

Oh I am thinking of them… how to murder shareholders in various unique ways… could be neat game idea too!

We already paid for the Internet though.

That’s like saying we should gouge out our eyeballs if we don’t want to see banner ads in real life. Fuck that noise.

What you mean that won’t STOP them? That actually STARTs them again!

Sure… All the countries that were doing well before some 3 alphabet orgs got involved died because of communism, not because of manufactured coups.

It can’t exist without the government keeping the angry mob from chopping off the Capitalists’ heads off.
