  • narrator: they did, in fact, vote for this

    Jump

  • Yeah that's a really weird concept. In Serbia you just get mail some time before elections that tell you where to go to vote, and you either go there where they have your name already and you just show them your ID, or you don't go and then you didn't vote.

  • One of the main things that made me start was the prevalence of it on lemmy. Fast forward and I'm half-way through Voyager. You should totally give it a try, every series so far has been amazing in its own way!

  • Having multiple files increases the compile time, think of all the femtoseconds you can save by having everything in one place!

  • Europeans, how far do you walk for groceries?

    Jump

  • From Serbia, I have a supermarket about 200m from my apartment and a mall with a huge supermarket about 20 mins away on foot. In my city at least, you're rarely more than 15 mins away by foot from a supermarket, they're everywhere.

  • His actual favourite method is to just go "let's say I'm right and you're wrong, well then I'm right"

    I'm not even kidding, someone once pointed out statistics that said that making abortion illegal doesn't reduce the number of abortions, it just makes them more dangerous. And he actually responded with: "Let's say you have 1000 abortions, and when you make it illegal, you have 100, but more dangerous. We would still be saving 900 lives, so it's worth making it illegal".

    The beauty is that you can use that for literally everything, you create an imaginary world where you're right, proclaim it real and voilà.

  • What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?

    Jump

  • Translation tools (like DeepL and Google Translate), proof assistance for mathematicians, camera settings optimisations, data analysis assistance in pretty much any field of research, anomaly detection, compression algorithms, ADAS systems like following a lane or self-parking, I can't remember the specifics, but I know Nokia uses ML/AI methods for signal transmision/receiving optimisation, noise removal, image recognition for various purposes, I recall a system for automatic tree pruning, etc etc.

    And before I get the usual "only GenAI is AI", the underlying methods for creating a generative model and something like a model that detects street signs or abnormalities in medical scans are based on the same principles, they are the same field of computer science.

  • The guy is a pseudo-intellectual who became famous with your usual right wing stuff (society is collapsing, the wokes are destroying everything, we need to fight the neocultural marxists), and providing self-help tips for people to take responsibility for themselves etc.

    That second part is important because when sufficiently pushed, a lot of his fans will say that they just like his self-help stuff because it helped them go through some periods, become better etc. But it's rarely just that, most of his fans go on to watch his talks and take his words seriously since he earned some credance with them with the self-help tips.

    And then this supposedly highly intelligent professor goes on to provide some stability to this insane world by saying things like (off the top of my head): Bill C-16 will make the state send people to prison for using the wrong pronouns, but he will resist and go on a hunger strike when that happens! Women and men cannot work together in the same teams! Women are hypocrites if they complain about sexual harassment while wearing makeup! Hitler's views were guided by the crowds attending his speeches, he just adapted to what they wanted to hear! Climate change models are faulty apriori because you cannot model everything, etc etc.

    Then, as others already mentioned, he went to Russia to get into an induced coma to break his addiction.

    He's presenting himself and being presented as a good father figure, an accomplished academic, a voice of reason in a world gone insane, whereas he is just plain nuts. And his base is primarily vulnerable young people who have nobody to turn to, and he uses that to make them into your everyday incels, misogynists and other right wing wierdos.

    So you can see that when someone like that goes onto camera to cry for the 10th time, the initial reaction of others might not be sympathy.

  • Bombs were falling on civilian targets nowhere near Kosovo. Various bridges, schools, hospitals, a chemical plant in Pančevo that almost destroyed the entire city, the Chinese embassy, a bomb fragment fell literally in my family's garden. Hundreds of civilians died, my grandma almost impaled on a table from a bomb shockwave and the glass shattered onto the cradle I was in (I was 1 year old at the time), but luckily my mom placed protection around me just in case. This was on the far north of Serbia.

    To be clear, OP is a tankie who shouldn't be given any attention or a platform (I checkes their post history), but the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999 was a campaign that caused untold suffering to countless civilians (be it in injuries, deaths, or just going through every day not knowing whether you and your loved ones will be alive tomorrow) that had absolutely nothing to do with Kosovo, something that left scars in society that are still felt. It was not simply "disturbing a genocide". Not to mention that it was an attack launched without the approval of the UN.

  • Serbia: Police clash with anti-government demonstrators

    Jump

  • There are a lot of disturbing videos available on reddit. The police chasing and beating the living hell out of people on the ground, the director of the police claiming on national television that the protesters didn't allow an ambulance to pass, even though there is a video showing the ambulance passing through the crowd of protestors only to be stopped by the police, who then used the situation to commence a surprise charge at the protesters. And all this because we want... check this... elections. Something our overlord used to hold every 2 years, but now he's scared.

  • Isn't capitalism great?

  • In Yugoslavia it was actually quite the opposite. Old commie blocks in Serbia all have big green spaces around them and playgrounds, while new buildings are all built on top of each other with no room to breathe and no greenery in sight.

  • Probably because they are.

    The entire infrastructure of modern civilization rests on a single digit number of companies. How is this acceptable to anyone? Why is everyone just okay with this?

  • Biard did not think much of the Mi’kmaq, but reported that the feeling was mutual

    Amazing. You go there to teach these heathen savages about the mercy of Christ, find that they practice the core virtues you want to teach them better than your own culture, and then you get irritated.

    But don't we have to be alive until 2101? Don't centuries start with a 1? That would make it 102 for you and 103 for me.

  • If it were only that, but traditionally 3rd party candidates are all the rage 2 weeks before the US elections, and then the day after the elections they're gone from the discourse, and you'll hear nothing about them for the next 4 years.

  • As a result, I have stopped my financial support for Lemmy development – despite FOSS, I simply cannot support people whose stated goal is apparently to replace one propaganda machine with another. That is the opposite of what is important to me.

    Same. I donated when that post was pinned, and regreted my decision like 2 days later lol

    With slrpnk potentially migrating to PieFed, and other instances like blahaj opening up a PieFed version, we might get to see another user migration.
