No one is saying those who can’t access or reqd English wikipedia is inferior. The issue here is when what is on a non-english wikipedia article is misleading or flat out harmful (like the article says about growing crops), because of juvenile attempts at letting machine translations getting it very wrong. So what Greenland did was shut down its poorly translated and maintained wiki site instead of letting it fester with misinformation. And this issue compounding when LLMs scrape Wikipedia as a source to learn new languages.

I understand you’re trying to be nice to minority languages, but if you write research papers you either limit your demographic to your own country, or you publish in English (I guess Spanish is pretty world wide as well). If you set out to read a new paper in your field, I doubt you’d pick up something in Mongolian.

Even in Sweden I would write a serious paper in English, so that more of the world could read it. Yes, we have text books for our courses that are in Swedish, but i doubt there are many books covering LLMs being published currently for example.

Definitely. If you have a second one it’s very safe to try out a full Linux install.

Two separate disks. The issue is that windows likes to overwrite or otherwise mess with the boot loader if it’s not the default windows one.

You’re generally safe if you 1) install them on two different disks and 2) if you’re installing windows later, unplug any drives you don’t want to use with windows. Microsoft likes to poke all drives it can see during installation even if you don’t touch them.

It’s both projects, lead by two different problematic people that Framework are sponsoring.

Or, you know, they are sponsoring a) a white supremacists who believes in the white replacement conspiracy theory who’s in charge of omarchy and b) the project lead of (not just a discord mod) of hyperland. Two awful people that Framework absolutely deserve flack for supporting.

I see you are getting some down votes, it’s not me, I swear! Your views on this are sound in my eyes.

I should have said I liked the rest of your post, it was only the bit I quoted I wanted to add in my opinion, but I kinda forgot to mention that :)

I’m with you on the misinformation bit. But while it wouldn’t be honest to report that Google is restricting developers now, I think it’s absolutely fair to criticise and react to them building the scaffolding for such abuse down the line.

Like the UK isn’t outright banning websites promoting trans rights or other “undesirable” political movements, but they now have the technical and legislative tools to easily expand on it.

I’m not equating the two, and I agree it’s important to differentiate between what’s currently happening and what could be.

“Google refusing to grant an account to people they don’t like, although they haven’t done that yet”

I have no trust that they will play honest or cleanly with that. Google has a knack for banning accounts randomly, and that’s a ban for everything, gmail, YouTube, AdSense. Now give them a reason to ban me for any of the apps I choose to sign. Created an app for tracking ICE agents? Good bye gmail account. A VPN app to circumvent porn bans and the government said that’s a no-no? No, more account for you.

Is that z as in Zionism or gen-z or ruzzia? Or a little bit of all

I was looking to try Qobuz, but they didn’t like my email domain, so skipped it.

Good thing financiers have such a good track record of creating rational and sustainable markets. The Great Depression and 2008 will never happen again, collective intelligence when trying to earn all the money is the only sound basis of trust.

Also, fuck Sabine.

TIL wreaking is a word. Whops

The first time I accidentally lost a number of files was when I wrote a script to rename some images from the format ddmmyyyy to yyyy-mm-dd. But I put the parsing and saved the variable only once outside the for loop, so all files ended up overwriting each other. Learnt my lesson to run untested scripts on files without a back up

What are these “most basic, essential” tasks you’re struggling with? Outside of trying to get Discord to screen share nicely with Baulders gate 3 and the one time I accidentally overwrote the python 3 install and broken it, it has been pretty pain free. And I code with both .NET and with Android Studio, I do plenty of gaming, and some photo editing. All things beyond the most basic of tasks and I rarely run into issues.

Have I broken a Linux install? Yep. But I’ve also bricked a handful of Windows systems poking around in the registry.

But ideas are cheap, of course every government has thought and dragged ideas about this before. But implementing them is costly, so letting another government go first, working out the kinks, getting case studies for what kind of messaging works, what tech is required, and seeing what the backlash looks like, makes the second go a lot easier and cheaper.

But it does effect everyone. Don’t you think the lack complete backlash to the online safety act is emboldening similar ideas in the rest of the world, especially the EU? Yes, we’ve stopped chat control like 2 or 3 times already, but it’s being brought up again now.

Quantum computing has incredible value as a scientific tool, what are you talking about.

And whatever “gckvb8fzb” is.
