Penicillin / antibiotics comes to mind. As well as vaccines. “Oh you’re body is being taken over by millions of microscopic organisms? Take this pill and it will go away. Maybe take this shot too so it won’t happen in the first place.”
And of course computers + the internet were a pretty big boom too.
I don’t think that’s true at all? From my experience and research, China seems quite proud of it’s diversity. The five colors of the original ROC flag symbolized this diversity, though a bit simplified, as the “Five races under one union” (han, manchu, mongols, muslims, tibetans). This term is one of the “Three Principles of the People” formulated by Sun Yat-sen (who founded KMT and is venerated in both mainland China and Taiwan). It’s foundational to both Chinese republics.
(but if we’re talking about the language, then “Chinese” is mandarin Chinese unless otherwise specified)
I feel this might stop enshittification. Look at Firefox, enshittification stems from a need to turn a profit and how difficult it is to do that in a decent way for a web browser. A privacy-centered email service on the other hand is an attractive product, and probably enough(?) to keep the email client running.
Unfortunate though that Mozilla is a US company.
Of the companies mentioned, only DapuStor is from mainland China from what I can tell?
Not necessarily if you run workloads within the datacenter? Surely that’s not that rare, even if they’re mostly for hosting web services.
While most people would likely move to Digg v2.0 (I am just being realistic)
Are people actually going? The only thing I’ve heard about it (the AI-fueled reboot) is that it was planned.
I sure hope so, but I have little faith tbh. Cloud providers have done a great job selling serverless solutions that are tightly coupled with the provider. Wise companies have limited themselves to the basics - load balancers, servers, maybe some serverless container solution or kubernetes. The latter can move pretty much anywhere with some, but not a whole lot, of effort. The former, have fun rediscovering the quirks of your new provider’s equivalent of lambdas or whatever (or at worst, rewriting the whole thing).
In Sweden we’ve been able to do this for years? Any site that has Klarna as a payment option you can choose to add it to your monthly bill or the “pay it later” (I think two weeks) option.
There’s a non-zero % chance that a nazi with ties to the government and unlimited money might be interested in this data… 👀
I think there is a skill set that’s required to use AI efficiently. You need to know what kind of problems they’re suitable for, be able to recognise when it’s going in circles or hallucinating and you need to be able to troubleshoot and understand whatever it’s outputting. Personally I’ve found it quite useful in many cases.
A team with one creative and one gets things done is not too bad. I’d take the headline with a grain of salt since AI are known to not always get things done and sometimes will lead their pilots around in circles for no good reason, but still, they don’t really need to be creative to beat most teams.
ok, but what about the selling point for recruitment firms that “you don’t need to pay $190 a month to unlock Sales Navigator Advanced for each of your recruiters”? or is that perhaps a feature, sorting out the weeds who can’t afford the monthly fee?
Will do, thanks!
Right, and picking an instance is kinda same guidelines as any fediverse. Find something focused on your main interest of decent size and you’ll be able to get things from most other places too?
Just out of curiosity, as a person who doesn’t make any videos myself and don’t know anyone who does, is there any use to hosting my own peertube instance? Mostly curious because it seems quite popular to self-host so there might be some killer feature I’m overlooking.
I don’t think so. I’m in Sweden myself.
I don’t know if tuta and posteo have some special privacy features, but if you’re just looking for a non-gmail provider I’ve been very happy with fastmail. It’s an Australian provider with a good track record afaik.
Would also highly recommend getting your own domain if you can, so your address doesn’t belong to whichever provider you choose.
Netscape went bankrupt so might not be the most solid idea for funding. Wasn’t opera paid before too, but abandoned that model?
Not sure how you read pride into this at all, the implication is that if they don’t know about it it’s not a choice, while at the same time acknowledging that perhaps I’m just out of the loop.
Automating this system with some kind of algorithm is not right, but a nearly blind 70-year-old can still do damage? The angle here is weird.
