I sorta agree and i think this approach is a good one. A bit from alvin toefflers mindset but i disagree on the conclusion that AI is a needed useful thing. We are adding more and more complexity and abstraction to our world.
This will simply end up in more stress and problems and not resolve anything.
Like an atom bomb we simply have more worries and even less solutions
I'm the OP, and I think of it as more "completely and utterly inevitable" than "needed." Given our personalities and history, the promise of curing all diseases, along with many other promises, will compel us forward. But whether or not we'll look back and say it was the right move, I don't think anyone knows for sure.
there are plenty of competing apps.
they simply don't have the install base grindr has. it was the first to market well before tinder.
other apps do exist particularly in central and eastern europe with local tech and install bases but they don't have the same reach.
also it's a bit disingenuous to call grindr a dating app, it's almost purely a sex hookup app but they would rather pretend it's something else entirely.
Unfortunately Ecuador has entered a rough spot through a combination of corruption and bad luck.
I do object to saying Ecuador is one of the safer south american countries.
The southern cone enjoys european like social and economuc conditions.
Colombia is now a pretty safe and reliable country for example. Unfortunately that is one of the factors that pushed Ecuador in a bad spot.
As someone said before it became the weakest link.
In any case following the strategies of my south american compatriots is hardly a good idea on a global scale. It creates a vicious cycle of paranoia and inequality which leads to even more problems
Upvoted but there’s no way Columbia is safer. Men are getting drugged by scopolamine or datura there more than in any other country, made to max out every ATM card they brought, and then left for dead or with permanent brain fog. Maybe it’s safer for women but not for men.
I’m curious about this.. I’m in the middle of nowhere, 2 miles from nearest mast and home internet is a Zyxel NR5103E 5G Router on Three.. I get near as dammit 1Gb down/50Mbps up with 20ms ping, for £15 a month..
DB is bad and honestly they are proud of it. Biggest problem is Germans love to complain but never take action.
They prefer to speak in hushed tones if it will affect their personal reputation
Disclaimer: I'm a KDE user and mostly-inactive developer.
KDE has always been about the same size as Gnome in LOC and performance has been +/- the same as well, KDE just has more exposed settings which confuses people to think it's "bigger". At the time of Gnome shell in JS, KDE had much less performance trouble than Gnome, now they are about the same again.
There is a thing that Gnome has going for it regarding Wayland, which is that Wayland has been the default on Gnome for much longer, so yes, for the time being it has fewer problems there. KDE is improving rather quickly, but it has not caught up yet.
So Gnome is the showcase for Wayland right now and it should be used to evaluate what Wayland can and cannot do.
As a KDE user, I am personally holding out on X11 for a little longer because I don't need great fractional scaling and multi-monitor support, so Wayland buys me little.
