For me (europe) it is:

• 2,99 = 50GB
• 9,99 = 2TB

Everyone with a family or social life has between 20-200GB photos and videos. Notice how there is no plan for 5,99 = 1TB. You either do not back up everything and pay 3€, or you pay a tener per month to have a cloud storage that is always 50-70% empty but still have to pay for.

I will be the first to leave Apple iCloud if there is a viable solution that works like apples own OS integration without jumping through hoops and losing albums and meta data

Google Chrome’s uBlock Origin phaseout has begun

A russian attack on US civial aviation would remove all brakes on ukrainian aid. They would not even allowed from then on to strike deep into russian territory, it would be a auto subscription to the Best-Daily-Targets-Newsletter by every 3Letter-Agency in the US. How stupid can Putin be?

I was not proficient with this topic, so had to look it up:

The Ship of Theseus, also known as Theseus’s Paradox, is a paradox and a common thought experiment about whether an object is the same object after having all of its original components replaced over time, typically one after the other.

In Greek mythology, Theseus, the mythical king of the city of Athens, rescued the children of Athens from King Minos after slaying the minotaur and then escaped onto a ship going to Delos. Each year, the Athenians would commemorate this by taking the ship on a pilgrimage to Delos to honour Apollo. A question was raised by ancient philosophers: After several hundreds of years of maintenance, if each individual piece of the Ship of Theseus were replaced, one after the other, was it still the same ship?

legal tender

As far as I understood it in the last 20 years, it is only legal tender for debt facing the goverment. No private business has to accept cash. They do not have to accept cards either. If they wish, they could demand payments only in acorns or bottle caps if they wanted to. Only govermental Institutes (eg. for taxes, fines, etc.) have to always accept cash so you can always free yourself from outstanding debits without needing a bank account as bank wiring or credit cards are a private 3rd party business that can not be guaranteed for every citizen (as banks can arbitrary decline service to people).

Fuck Putin. If he would only put 1% of his heinous acts against the west into his own country, russia could progress. The west could live happy without Russia. But the west lives rent free in russians heads. Without the west, they would realize that they themself are the reason for the shithole they are in. It is not the gays. Not the Weed. It is their shitty attitude towards everything. But as long there are western countries, they can project their abysmal performance to them.

L2 it’s one year old. A study like that takes time. What is your point? I bet if they would do it with L3 and the result came back similar, you would say L3 is „insanely outdaded“ as well?

Can you confirm that you think with L3, the result would look completely opposite and the summaries of the AI would always beat the human summaries? Because it sounds like you are implying that.

Maduro preparing Vzla as a refugee destination for Putin when things go sideways. Some of his Wagner Troops are allready there irrigating the ground with blood for his arrival.

I sometimes ordered from them in the last 8 years. No problems. Expensive but guaranteed valid parts. Your experience could be many things. Maybe there is a invalid permission to export this certain item to your region of purchase. I ran into that once with some serious part that also had military uses.

“Yes I know the customer learned that product name and has a good connotation with it, but how about we change the name to something completely different?”

I love the post-reddit era, where titles can be changed if they are not correct!

Authoritarians will always lie to the democratic world. They will always get the benefit of the doubt and in their calls afterwards will lough about democracies how weak they are while they can steal, corrupt and murder while getting away. I’m sick of those bastards.

No freedom, for the enemies of freedom!

No tolerance for the enemies of tolerance!

It is all dependent on the military. Like in 2015 the ghouls from the military decided to get behind the dictator and positioned themself against the people. They know they all have corpses to hide. They know if there will ever be a legitimate justice system, these butchers will be held accountable. They are afraid that they will have to answer these crimes under a legitimate system and collude with the dictator that has equal amounts of blood on his hands. Maduro is a murderer and a vassal of the Chinese-Russia-Iran connection. His game is supression, corruption and power.

Disgusting. How was the merger of Facebook and Whatsapp allowed in the first place is beyond me. FB Messenger and WhatsApp are the most popular messenger services in the western world and are coming from the same company. The illusion of choice.

It is offered with an outstretched arm, which is similar to other fascist, right-wing extremist organizations, and represents a stylized wolf’s head: the outstretched fingers are the ears, the other fingers form the snout. The deceased founder Alparslan Türkeş, who is worshipped as Başbuğ, is mystically revered.

Grey Wolves is the name given to Turkish right-wing extremists such as members of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) or the Great Unity Party (BBP). They have committed numerous acts of violence and murders in the past, especially in the 1970s.

In Germany, the party is represented by three umbrella organizations, which include around 303 clubs nationwide with more than 18,500 members. This makes it the largest right-wing extremist organization in Germany.
