Why does a vending machine even have AI in the first place?

So you can see mastodon posts on bluesky and bluesky posts on mastodon?

I wonder what kind of securities Taiwan needs in order to bargain with china about it.

Joining NATO, being able to be officially recognised as a sovereign country without immediate sanctions by China against whoever did that? Permanent stationing of western troops?

I feel as if China giving up the claim to Taiwan in exchange for Taiwan’s product capabilities to be made available within the mainland China would lead to China becoming the new global superpower for sure.

I’m firmly convinced that 90% of the protesters are trolls that’ll vote Trump anyway and are just trying to discourage people from voting for Harris that would never vote for Trump the same way the Trump campaign did that against Clinton.

Some people are probably participating in those as useful idiots that are not realizing that their activism will only make matters worse

I think it’s very telling how often those protests are accompanied by “not voting for X” - since that’s the main agenda - not to help Palestinian people

They also decided to only use cameras and visual clues for driving instead of using radar, heat cameras or something like that as well.

It’s designed to be launched asap, not to be safe

Yeah - and they explain why they’ll never do a crypto currency. I don’t see how this is challenging anything I said before

That’s explicitly making clear how bad of an idea crypto is?

Vivaldi has that, too, without the cryptobro People owning the browser.

I switched to Zen, personally as any chromium seems to be doomed unless someone manages to fork the base project and take it away from Google

It’s the first one I’ve paid for. And it is that much better than the free ones I used before imho.

If it’s free then you’re the product

And if you’re the product then there’s an interest to keep you on the site and show you ads which works best if the first result isn’t the correct one and you need to scroll or even go to page two

It’s literally the reason why Google got so much worse that they wanted to show more ads to users which wouldn’t work if the best result is always the first

You can create a search-link that includes your token so you can also use it in incognito or if you are logged out for some reason.

I’m very happy with kagi at the moment. Just crossed one year using it as my main search engine last week and don’t see why I would go back.

Brazil first, Australia 2nd and hopefully EU third nail in the coffin for that clown’s platform

So many humans are so incredibly bad at being content with what they have - the grass is always greener on the other side…

Also great for city climate since heated up cars are acting like a heat battery making it significantly slower for a city to cool down once the sun goes away

Ideally there would be no openly parked cars but I guess this is the next best thing

Was using Osmand before and it’s a lot nicer to use for day to day navigation on the bike than the sluggy mess Osmand sometimes is

Perfect example of how the conservative goal is not to “make things better for most people” but to “make things worse for specific groups”

How are you guys setting up Osmand for bike navigation? Especially within a city I have the feeling it always gives me suboptimal ways. I only want to use cobblestone roads if absolutely necessary, I only want to use parallel streets if there is no dedicated bike path on the main road. In both cases I only find options with a too one-sided option.
