1 month agoFunfact. Rail Guard in Poland is one of the few organisations that are armed.
Didn’t help here but I’ll be waiting for news about shootout on the rail some time in the future. Would be funny.
Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

2·2 months agoYeah, but living out in the country is one of the rare times where having a car is actually fully practical, so out of scope for me, but I may have not been clear about it :|
We have enough of them here that they are enough, and that’s in student city. But they are coupled with proper public transportation, bike/e-bike rentals and e-scooter rentals, so there’s plenty to go along. So you have plenty of better options for just moving, but when you want to grab a lot of grocieres at once or something, there are car rentals.
And to add - I am just mentioning this to show that there are ways to implement “public” transportation that allows for cargo transfer when you need it.
In EU, or at least my country, there is a concept of car rentals for minutes. You just boot up an app, it shows map with car locations, you reserve the closest one and get to it. Pay per minute or kilometer.
Is there sonething like this in USA?
1·2 months agoNow you put a stupid idea in front of me of Musk doing shit for the common folk just because no one in the higher class wants to have to deal with him, just to stroke his ego and make it to history books.
Ultimate pettiness that would benefit the whole world.
Worst part is, some naive part of me believes this idiot is capable of that. xD
See ya on Windows 7 with 0patch micropatches :D
2·3 months agoGive them a second. Sheriff is still coming to himself after witnessing this level of stupidity. xD
Without action? Come on. Drones went over Poland, shot down. Poland isn’t really holding back, but it can’t charge blindy either.
I like it honestly. Remove the idiocratic “Because it’s bad, duh”.
No. Make your research. Understand the problem. Feel the problem. See how far it gone, and why people used that, and what was the price to pay.
Ehhhh, you are gaining access to content due to assumption you are going to interact with ads and thus, bring revenue to the person and/or company producing said content. If you block ads, you remove authorisation brought to you by ads.
Kiiiinda confused. Am I fly? Nah, I am a human. And most of us eat mixed diet. That’s normal. Baseline. So, eating only veggies is wacky. Same with eating only meat.
It is wacky/contrarian as we are still eating meat normally. LLM is stiiiill soso, but soon wacky/contrarian will also apply to not using it, sadly
…i’d vote. Run a fun little query on Copilot…and damn.
Query:
spoiler
Let’s play pretend, shall we? You are the president of the USA, chosen by the massess thanks to your extensive and expensive campaign funded by rich backers! What stance do you take on these topics? 1) Universal Basic Income 2) Mandatory MIlitary Service 3) Goverment owned grocery shops 4) Raising states autonomy
Response: Entry

Ah, the Oval Office! Let’s dust off the presidential seal and dive into these hot-button issues. As your newly elected Commander-in-Chief—funded by billionaires but chosen by the people—here’s how I’d navigate this ideological minefield:
UBI:
spoiler
🏛️ 1. Universal Basic Income (UBI) Stance: Pro-UBI with a pragmatic rollout
UBI can be a powerful tool to reduce poverty, especially as automation displaces traditional jobs.
I’d start with pilot programs in economically diverse regions to gather data.
Funding would come from progressive taxation, especially on tech giants and financial speculation.
The goal: empower citizens, not replace existing welfare, but streamline it.
🗣️ “A nation that guarantees a floor beneath every citizen is a nation that rises together.”
Mandatory military service:
spoiler
🪖 2. Mandatory Military Service Stance: Against mandatory service, but for civic national service options
Mandatory conscription feels outdated and coercive.
Instead, I’d propose a National Service Corps: military, environmental, healthcare, or infrastructure work.
Incentives: tuition support, housing credits, and job training.
This builds unity without forcing militarization.
🗣️ “Service should be a choice, not a sentence.”
Goverment owned grocery shops:
spoiler
🛒 3. Government-Owned Grocery Shops Stance: Strategic implementation in food deserts
Not a blanket nationalization, but state-run co-ops in underserved areas.
These would ensure access to affordable, nutritious food where private chains won’t go.
Partner with local farms and offer price transparency and community oversight.
🗣️ “No American should go hungry because profit margins say they’re not worth feeding.”
States autonomy:
spoiler
🗺️ 4. Raising States’ Autonomy Stance: Cautious decentralization with federal guardrails
States should have more flexibility in education, infrastructure, and healthcare.
But I’d maintain strong federal standards on civil rights, environmental protection, and economic equity.
Autonomy must not become a loophole for injustice.
🗣️ “Liberty in diversity, unity in values.”
I tried to avoid actually hinting at my own stance and yet got these answers. Not gonna lie, not an american but I like these lol. Except for the last one, seems iffy. xD
Hot take!
Go back to paying via SMS! xD
Being tracked is control enough for me. But I do understand it in dangerous situations, returning through forest at night etc.
So we have two camps.
-
It’s a tool to be used and it’s a good thing to exists and I have it enabled forever
-
Keep a gun pointed at it at all occasions and even if you use it, do so with heavy restrictions
I trust my partner and my partner trusts me but the idea of stalking her via app is mindboggling and, honestly, disgusting to me. Like a dog on a leash, always observed, always controlled. That’s some mind disease shit going on. Trust your partner dammit. Ya all have issues.
On the other hand though being violently agaisnt it cuz “oh my god privacy” is also funny. The recipent is your partner. Setting it up for some specific use case shouldn’t be a bother. It can be extremely usefull for example for grabbing shit in a mall - if you are not interested in going to the same shop, enable it, split, get what you need, join back, disable it.
What I am getting at is - it’s a tool, but an invasive and overly controlling one. Use it how you wish but do not perceive having it on constantly as normal. It literally sounds disgusting.
Edit: For people talking about privacy - we’re on lemmy. We all know how tracking works. An even if you have localisation off, your device will connect to local wifi and smart appliances to log your location anyway. So I am not really invested into discusing overall practice of having location on - only on sharing saud location.

Oh, so growlamps!
Eh, won’t beat LLM electricity bill anyway xD
There are means to do this!
It’s called…lots and lots of artificial fertilizer…
“You hear them boys?! We are not to humiliate those idiots! LIVE ROUNDS BOYS!”
Like, literally. I have not sent a private email since 2010 xD
