Thank you for that perspective. It seems to be somewhat similar and thankless to when I get tasked with taking microbio samples from the machines to check for contamination and then get grumpy department leads because the analysis results show over and over again that their cleaning procedure is inefficient.

Does open sourcing require you to give out the training data? I thought it only means allowing access to the source code so that you could build it yourself and feed it your own training data.

Additionally, if a day one patch were actually enough to fix these issues, then just delay the game by a day. That way, the launch day gamers won’t suffer through a (sometimes) unplayable experience and possibly leave bad reviews.

Wouldn’t be the worst thing. I don’t mind the EU cooperating with USA but we’ve been piggybacking too comfortably off many US “services” when it comes to consumer tech and the military. That way we forgot to build something on our own in case of “Europe’s Saviour” turning into a political (if not, yet, military) enemy.

Holy shit that was depressing. I already agreed with your sentiment before scrolling for literal minutes just to see the wealth of Jeff Bezos and then after that, the real deal just began.

I absolutely agree that voting based on policies would be the better way. This is honestly how I cast my vote here in Germany every time. The only parties I inherently strike off my list are the big three (CDU/CSU, SPD, FDP) because they’ve been found to definitely be corrupt and didn’t actually follow-through on so many policies. And the AFD because they are the new NPD (which were the new NSDAP).

Every other party is up for grabs and I check their general “mission statement” as well as their statements and planned policies to see if it aligns with my beliefs. I literally have no clue who the politicians are and don’t care as long as they stay true to their policies.

Getting this good overview on multiple topics by this many parties is made easier thanks to the Wahl-O-Mat (Elect-O-Mat) that is set up for the major elections. In it, you put in your position on the relevant topics and not only do you see a numerical score of how your views compare to any other parties’ but also can you (and are encouraged to) read through each party’s detailed response to any particular topic.

If I had a meaningful sum of money stored there, I would close my bank account with them and specifically give this as a reason (although I’m not sure how much my local branch Volksbanken-Raiffeisenbanken in Germany would even impact RBI)

Swastikas, okay. Happy merchant, sure. But how is Pepe an alt right symbol now? I read half of an article about it which seems to conclude that it depends on the context the meme is being used in. If it’s by a nazi in their username, it’s a nazi symbol, wow. To me this feels like “serial killers often ate bread for breakfast, so all of Germany is now a dogwhistle for serial killers.”
