That's fine. Do what you want. I'm not here to judge your choices, just point out that Mozilla only fucked up the communication, not the policy itself.

Right? I just do my best to ignore the bot and only enter queries any first year CS student would know. The rest comes from my memory and a few bookmarks I have saved.
Thus far, the local models I've worked with have gotten a C- on coding, but an A+ on bullshit.
I work at a company that won't allow us to use a search engine but has a local model we're allowed to use, and this is a pretty apt summary.
If you're referring to that fuckup with the ToS or whatever, that's not what they've started doing. You can verify this by their Privacy Policy, which hasn't changed in almost a year.
But if you are pointing to other examples, I'm open to learning.
Donald Trump is fueling the trade conflict and annoying the global economy with tariffs. Does it help to avoid US products and buy “European” if possible?
Yes. As an American, you should. Please help us by making the billionaires hurt.
The indignation is great, the reflex is too human: The US government is covering our economy with tariffs? Okay, then we don't like their economy anymore.
Bruh, nobody is moved to action by tariffs except the wealthy. Normal people see a fascist running amok, and the sane, the moral thing to do is fight them. That's the human reflex that should be celebrated.
What a tone-deaf article.
Same. Hard times are coming, and I have a suspicion it's going to be worse than 2008.
People will need to do what they can do, and I don't blame them for surviving.
As an American, I'm already subscribed to !buycanadian@lemmy.ca and !buyeuropean@feddit.uk.
I'll eat those tariffs to ensure the companies that stood at Trump's side feel it in their stock portfolios.
The purpose of tariffs (in a normal world) is to make it harder for domestic entities to buy international goods. Typically, this will spur growth of a particular sector of industry within a country over time.
The way Trump is using them as a battering ram in an attempt to punish other countries, rather than incentivize steady growth, is why the US market is tanking and likely headed to another recession (or worse).
By retaliating in kind, the EU will be incentivizing their citizens and companies not to buy from the US. This will hurt companies that are based in the US, like Google, Microsoft, Meta, etc., further sending the US economy into freefall and bolstering the European economy, since they aren't trying to punish every single trade partner in existence.
There may be other ways they try to move money around to avoid the tariffs, but governments are aware of how big businesses operate and often try to close those kinds of loopholes. Since this has become a global political issue, I would imagine they'll be keeping a more watchful eye than normal on things.
Mini Apps version 1.2 makes mini apps load faster within the World mobile app, adds haptic feedback, enables customization, and allows you to pin your favorite mini apps to your phone’s home screen without needing to open the Worldcoin Wallet app, according to the company.
Eww, why would I want to have a garbage cryptocoin app that opens other apps?
Cryptobros are so weird. Like, their brains have been so thoroughly addled that they can't see reality except through crypto
You may be right simply by Point 3 alone. It's one i hadn't considered.
Still, if that's true, we'd be fighting a similar kind of adversary, but one that isn't dismantling vital institutions like the Dept. of Education, USAID, etc. I wish we'd had that future to work with, because I worry about the children that will grow up having to deal with the consequences of their parents electing Trump; their paradigm will be shaped by the coming crises.
The fight could have gone on in both scenarios, but now, a lot more people (domestically and abroad) will get hurt in the short and long term, even as the fight does continue.
Anyway, thanks for the respectful reply. You've made some good points, and given that a lot of my side of the discussion is speculative, I don't know that there's much point in going much further. We have to deal with the current situation, awful as it is.
Stay safe. Stay strong. Hopefully we never have to meet on some frontline.
I actually think that was foolish for one reason: pick your weakest opponent to fight in future battles.
Democrats are weak and feckless. The majority of them can't even unify around the active fascist takeover. I would rather be fighting for a better future against them than a fascist proto-dictator who has easily managed to get most of his party to fall in line and kiss the ring.
We killed our weaker opponent too early and made the stronger opponent even stronger.
And I think he doesn't care. Too dumb and too busy self-aggrandizing.
