Then why are we banned from using certain words on social media?
I don't know if you understand what military funded means... It's basically the military paying these guys to make something they can use in the military.
There is no doubt in my mind at least that all cute robots, useful AI, and other new things are just the public tip of the iceberg kind of a thing, to make people think it's something positive and not be afraid.
The most advanced things will be used by law enforcement and military to control and monitor the populations in secret.
So while I like tech, I'm also convinced that humans are going to use it to make the planet horrible to live on, to the degree that "don't get children" is the best advice ever.

You can web search yourself, there are many controversies around it since it's very integrated with Red Hats decisions.
I've seen a lot of "Free Wifi" networks that are open to the public with bad encryption. Most likely set up by people who want to spy on where people go and steal their cookies.
It seems that there is, and some people are again caring about that number. If I had written Lemmy i would remove any karma shit.
I use chatgpt a lot and it's often saving me time, but you could not replace a programmer with it. Your company would be helpless as soon as it's answer is incorrect or buggy, which it often is.
I view it more like my guide, someone to bounce ideas with and help me do boring tasks like converting one format to another or whatever.
Sometimes it teaches me the correct format for something too and that saves a lot of time.
Just avoid Ubuntu and Fedora and you will be fine.
It is crazy to pay these companies who are already run by billionaries and are already owning the largest sites on the internet.
It's like people don't take that into account. Who are we paying? It's kind of important. I pay smaller companies for email and search because they are not cancers on the internet.
Do you want internet to be like cable TV with 10 massive internet sites that all require paying and all are owned by the same corporations? If not, stop supporting them.
I try to always rewrite complicated code. As an example, another dev who left the team had written a program in Elixir that nobody knew or understood. I rewrote it in python (with his help, since I still had contact with him over chat). After that, everyone in the team could understand the code and we could make changes very easily to it and document it.
Another program he wrote in python was kind of complicated and we would have bugs in it that we didn't know how to fix. So I rewrote it with a completely different architecture with focus on simplicity. And again, now everyone could just read the code and understand it.
I think many devs are writing code that is not simple to understand for others. Then rewriting it can be worth it to avoid the pain of trying to fix bugs in complicated code.
Yeah many people say that but Ubuntu is not very good in my opinion. Outdated packages, snaps, commercials in the installer and so on. I would pick PopOS any day over that myself. But it's because I'm really sensitive to those things.
It's absolutely fascinating that not wanting to vaccinate is now tied to conspiracy theories.
There are perfectly valid reasons for not wanting to inject vaccines into your body. It's your body. You decide what goes in it.
