Lol, they did you a favour. It’s the only instance I ban.

Yes, as I said, it’s exactly the same. I’m really glad you’re here to make it so plain to everyone.

I’m a Dane living in the UK. This is beginner level Trump/musk idiocy. Denmark is currently wrestling with the US demanding a piece of their kingdom (and yes, Denmark is a democracy, so using the word kingdom may seem a bit anachronistic, but in this case we are talking about Greenland, which is an autonomous region of the Danish commonwealth, so the official term is “kingdom”)

Hmm, let’s see, one country was ruled by a murderous dictator using chemical weapons against his own people and crushing dissidents to a pulp in secret prisons. The other is a mature, functioning democracy with rule of law and a free press.

Yes, yes, I can see how you think that’s exactly the same.

Do you ever wonder why most Europeans has about 40 telecom companies offering you internet at your particular address? Regulation and anti-monopoly works.

That may be the case but a Science article on the resume is still something every working scientist covets.

Because the journals provide a quality gate. To be published in, say, Nature is a career peak for most scientists. While counting references to a paper can tell you some things about its relative merit, it’s not as clear an indicator as having a PNAS, Cell or similar on your resume.

They have created a market for their name so it self-perpetuates.

The “now the tech is done can we rationalise the dev team?” fallacy just drives me up the wall. Mostly because I’ve actually worked in environments where those questions were seriously pondered and had to defend against it.

The best part is when some dufus goes “I’ve got a great idea and the grit to see it through. I just need to hire a tech person to do it for me”.

Why do you think the mega rich are so keen to invest in robotics? With AI and robotics, there is no palace guard that’ll turn sides when everyone’s had enough.

The Wall and American Idiot always springs to mind when I think of story albums.

 

Three posts, across the fediverse, point to exactly the same link, with the same post text.

I would just love it if wefwef could collapse these into one (“Seen in 3 communities”) and then collapse the comments into one mega-thread.

 

I’d love it if client-side processing could collapse these posts into one.

 

Given both kbin and lemmy are part of the fediverse, I would expect to be able to subscribe to https://kbin.social/m/tech by searching for !tech@kbin.social - but nothing shows up.

What am I doing wrong?
