  • Interesting! thanks for elaborating. A week or month ago, a local Ukrainski politician, I thought it was a lady person, proclaimed that using the Russian language the invaders use is like spitting in the face of your home country. She got a hell of a lot of pushback on that. That made it seem that a lot of locals still prefer Russian to Ukrainian language. Can you shed some light on those conflicting sentiments?

    Was inspired to educate myself a bit extra on Cyrillic script, so, from the english wiki:

    "As of 2011, around 252 million people in Eurasia use it as the official alphabet for their national languages. About half of them are in Russia. " … "The Slavic languages are conventionally (that is, also on the basis of extralinguistic features) divided into three subgroups: East, South, and West, which together constitute more than 20 languages. Of these, 10 have at least one million speakers and official status as the national languages of the countries in which they are predominantly spoken: Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian (of the East group), Polish, Czech and Slovak (of the West group), Bulgarian and Macedonian (eastern members of the South group), and Serbo-Croatian and Slovene (western members of the South group) "




  • No not really. I said it a bit vague because I think because of EU mandates more phones will be repairable(Soon TM hopefully). I wholly agree with you about the price of, for example, Fairphones. On the other hand my usage has changed radically from 10y ago, and consequently my phone is holding on much longer, so I’m saving up in the extra years this phone is surviving for a more expensive and arguably worse phone except for the repairability. Every day, it becomes worth more and more to me to be as independent from (large) corpo’s as possible, so effectively it’s becoming a better and better deal 😊. Same story for laptops, except it’s Framework instead of Fairphone








  • That looks sexy as heck, burger AND presentation overal! Let me return the favor and share a blast from my past, this 2017 set of beautiful burgers:

    I love all my burgers with:

    • Bacon
    • Cheese
    • Lettuce
    • Raw Red Union
    • Mustard
    • Ketchup
    • Pickle slices

    And sometimes i’ll take some mayo, or tomato, or a fried egg. Man I love burgers…! maybe tomorrow :-D !







  • I agree with you! but that has (almost?) nothing to do with the premise and use of AI. That’s just capitalism/corporatism and especially: very large players = bad. Sure. Did you also try AI, LLM or Image generation, locally with open source models? Do you think using these kinds of AI tools is anti consumer, even with open software and data sets?

    A good skeptic would try and paint a balanced picture so their words carry more weight.
