I will say, even despite me being the one constantly yelling about the incoming american fascism, I also though it'd take at least a little longer
But here we are, with most institutions and companies just rolling over. Sure, I figured it would happen, but I at least thought it'd take more than a year. Not.. 3 months
It's.. I lack words, even. This is straight up nazi Germany, except we have the hindsight of history, and yet it's still all for naught. Incredibly incredibly scary
Rooster and football torture..? Huh, never heard of it before, what is it?
Or buy used clothes at thrift stores
Clothes stay good for a good while if not abused, buying second hand is a fantastic way of reducing waste
That's because, for some reason, people don't treat anger like an emotion
While you're right, it's incredibly frustrating when it's near-impossible to convince onlookers on how the fascists operate on complete bad faith and we really should just not give them any time of day at all and ban them
I've had great difficulties in convincing people to stop giving them the benefit of the doubt, leading to the fascists further exploiting it for their own gain
I love love love that version of the sickos meme. It reflects me so perfectly
Only older people from what I've seen. At least, whenever I hear a ping out in public, it's always someone older
So, to answer your question, no, not really
Most of that influence comes from America though?
As an European, the democrats sit firmly in the center-right sphere, somewhat more socially left, but more right in certain areas
Like, our center-right parties straight up are more progressive in some areas than the democrats are
I don't know what they were teaching you at the course, but home/personal IoT was never the most interesting thing in the field. IoT sees a lot more interest and use in industrial application, for example stuff like logistics, farming, automation, measuring, stuff like traffic signals and smart grids, and so on
Sure, in high school or maybe early college
But the further in you get, the deeper you go into a topic, the more specialized you are, the harder it gets to condense the vast amount of knowledge you have into a reasonable space. Once you do stuff like a master's thesis or a PhD thesis, you could just write and write and write and write, there's so much you could put into that document, because there's almost endless amounts of depth
Once you start to truly get deep into a subject, you'd be surprised by how quickly the pages fill up when you try to just comprehensively transfer the necessary information onto paper
AR is going to become a big thing, the hardware just needs to get there first (and it is indeed getting closer)
This has been the case the entire time, it's always been a promising technology. It's not a new thing at all (then again, neither were LLMs, really. Most people just didn't have this insight into the field)
