In my DE I don’t have folders. Not all DEs use desktop icons or start menu with directories. I can open Nautilus manually but it can be completely different than your file explorer. Searching can work in a different way and opening ISO images can work in a different way. mount always works the same.

Of the two comments explaining how to do it, one using terminal and other UI, this one is shorter and will work on any Linux. The UI method is more complicated and will only work in a specific distro with specific DE.

So yeah, you should learn to code.

If he got off the cross how would he forgive people for killing him and for breaking the crazy rules he himself set up earlier? Like, have ever tried forgiving someone without being born as another person, making them angry and letting them kill you first? It’s impossible.

No, from what I’m reading they just pump money into it senselessly. VR/AR devices are $1B a year market and they pumped like $18B into it in a year. They just don’t care because they make so much money they can burn it.

You’re right, a lot of it probably went to the devs but from what I’m reading the cash burn is so bad because it’s extremely chaotic in there, lot’s of bad decisions, canceled projects, lot’s of directors swapping places. No idea what part of it went to low ranking devs and what went to consultants and building useless prototypes.

Like literally? How did they do it? Are they hiding now or was it some legal scam?

Yeah, but why ask Gemini about it’s priorities? I can just lie about it.

If a company can dump $100B into failed project and still be profitable they have too much money. Jesus, imagine would would happen if this money went to the workers instead…

deliberately misleading humans

Yeah… You dumb.

So you think Gemini told you the truth here? How do you know it’s not just scheming?

Here’s some documentation: https://developers.googleblog.com/under-the-hood-universal-commerce-protocol-ucp/

What this does is if offers a API for agents to communicate with online stores: check products, apply coupons, process transactions and so on. And the critics say that this will be used to funnel more data about the user to the store so it can “adjust” prices. Which is nothing new. Companies already are using all the data they can get their hands on to screw you. If you’re naive enough to give data about to you AI bot controlled by a corporation and then send this bot to a store controlled by another corporation to do shopping for you then yeah, you will be screwed.

Queen Elizabeth herself used to drive an ambulance during World War 2 and as such was quite qualified to drive by herself.

The Prince though…

Ok, I will say it: this is nothing new. Even the scale is not that new. During the protests after George Floyd murder we have seen police shoot rubber bullets at people indiscriminately, 20 people suffered serious eye injuries. In 2024 police killed 1200 people. Between 2022 and 2024 15.000 people died in prisons. We have seen police target random people for illegal stops all the time, they would arrest people under false pretenses (arresting only for resisting arrest for example) all the time, drag people out of their cars, beat them up and torture them all the time and they would almost never face any consequences. Yet watching videos from ICE raids it looks like people still believe the are somehow protected from violence, that ICE will respect their rights, that if they are US citizen they have some immunity to all this. Were people ignorant of all the police violence all this time? Don’t they realize ICE can and will simply kidnap them, beat them up and drop them off somewhere without consequences? Because they do look surprised when it happens when it’s the least surprising thing there is. It’s shocking, yes, police violence in US was always shocking, but it’s not surprising. Would you be surprised that a biker gang beat you up after you insulted them?

My point is that if you’re interacting with ICE you should be aware that they will murder you if then can find an excuse and that you don’t have any rights. If you’re protesting protest peacefully and avoid interactions. If you want to confront them do it like you would confront a violent street gang. It’s baffling that people get tough with ICE and then are surprised they got hurt.

I actually believe him this was just a stupid joke but I still think they should deny him entry and reject him as an ambassador because fuck him, that’s why. Don’t give those fuckers any benefit of the doubt, use any excuse you can get to hurt them.

For me the main problem is not cognition but the greed and lust for power. Normal people retire to spend time with family, to enjoy their hobbies or to just rest. For those people the only thing that matters is the power they have and the money they can still make. It’s fucked up. Look at Europe:

The only people above retirement age are autocrats in Belarus, Russia and Turkey. The desire of American politicians to keep working until they die is not normal.

I wish I was still so naive I believed EU has some secret plan to defeat US. Especially Germany, country that was blind to the threat Russia posed for two decades. Yeah, I’m sure they will go to war over Greenland now…

It’s also funny that they are open about sending this tiny group of soldiers, something they could easily hide, but are hiding the plan to send a bigger force, something that will be impossible to hide. Kind of silly, really. Almost like thinking that Germany would commit any permanent force to Greenland without informing their own public.

It just says that they will be participating in some exercises. Nothing about permanent force.

chatbots are not agentic AI so it’s a bit unrelated.

So you just said something 100% wrong and then doubled down on it despite not knowing much about it but the problem is that I’m smug… Yeah…

Age verification would be only required for services that are considered high risk for grooming and would have to be done in a way that preserves privacy and all the rights guaranteed by GDPR regulation. It’s still just a proposal, nothing was approved. Personally I don’t like it but I see it as a reasonable compromise for a regulation aimed at protecting children. Other than that we can simply ignore the issue and do nothing. And I do hope nothing will be done but since they were working on a law that was supposed to do something it’s normal they come up with something like that. Taking this and saying “EU doesn’t respect citizen’s rights” is in best case ignorant, in worst misinformation.
