Corrupt criminals and mafia types... a well fitting description of the US government

There cannot be coexistence, "AI" needs to be destroyed.

No, it's not worded disrespectful enough... this idiot use of an idiotic technology needs to be called out.

And this is why this technology needs to be destroyed.

15 - 20 years ago i was a total Google fanboy, i liked what they did with their search, i loved their overall ecosystem and perceived culture. I even have a - now orphaned - googlemail email address.

Nowadays? I wouldn't touch anything that comes from Google (granted also not from any other big tech company) with pliers.

Those companies are all in the same unethical goddamn country, controlled by the same unethical goddamn goverment.

Where is the real harm coming from? America is the answer.

Good. To hell with american corporations!

An American corporation is NOT a trusted party!

Down with the Corporations and their minions!

I think you spelled "American" wrong

> As for no stomach for a fight, Nato Europe can't even shoot down shahad drones that fly over their own territory.

You would have been right if this were a couple of years ago, hell... even at the beginning of last year you might have been right, but now? If i would go with the things i hear of coworkers or other people around me (normal people in the lower middle class, no activists or something like that) then i can tell you: People are out for blood. The sheer arrogance of the Trump administration is just a tad too much to be ignored and this time Europe will not back down.

Regarding the "sane countries" i can only say: Please, for the love of the deity you may worship, please distance yourself faster and farther...

I am in the reserve of the german army, so i can be called up if things escalate beyond a certain point (the so called "Verteidigungsfall").

Luckily, the orange idiot in charge is doing us (the Europeans) a favor showing us that America (and its companies) are no longer a trustworthy partner. In a way i really hope he goes through with the Greenland stuff... this would be the final nail in the coffin.

I am so glad to live in Germany...

If you stay within the crypto-economy (e.g. buy stuff with coins from places who also only deal with coins) nothing prevents you from doing so.

The cool thing is: Its still there!

Yeah, it may be not as populated as in the 80s to mid 90s, but there are still enough active groups in usenet to waste uncounted hours every day...

I am now running EndlessOS for a while and i love it: Its a bit like going back to the home computer days when the OS was residing in a ROM and you didn't really have to care.

Oh, i know him... it's me!

I do "computer stuff" as my profession for about 20 years and always for rather small companies. I do everything from wiring a network, any level of supported, programming and administrative stuff... oh yeah, and in my current job I sometimes drive a forklift in the warehouse.

I work now for about 10 years for the same company and have built significant parts of their software ecosystem, and in my professional opinion: Its a Rube Goldberg machine fixed and extended with duct-tape, hotglue and tons of wishful thinking. Nothing, absolutely nothing in the system I had to build was carefully planned, implemented or tested. Most new feature requests were handed in by an stressed out boss on a Friday afternoon telling me that we need feature X / solution for problem Y / bugfix Z ABSOLUTELY URGENTLY because something went terribly wrong. Its not uncommon that this visits were the result of some prior hotfix backfiring.

And I build it. And it works.

I have often told my boss that it would be best to drag the whole system behind the warehouse and shoot it to relief it of its misery... but, well, it works...

Perhaps I should work on having this 'Pete skill' of leaving ship for the raise and promotion thing ;-)

Am i the only lunatic that has build his resume in troff? I mean, its simple, available in every *nix and absolutely ideal for such an simple document.

Have a toddler.

No, seriously: Since we have now a toddler running around who absolutely does not want to go to sleep when the adults are still running around has led US to much more healthy sleeping habbits

This is why I really like the idea of establishing communism

Huh? I mean, even major news outlets in germany (even government owned) reported about the... ehm... "interesting" relationship of the various intelligence agencies and the far right...

Just to be curious, what did you write about Israel and Germany?

Well, if you look into the whole ordeal regarding the planned ban of the NPD a few years ago, the whole NSU ordeal and the things regarding the AfD i would guess not much has changed...

Well, not OPENLY confronting your abusive lord was a pretty good advise. Cutting your losses and leaving when nobody was looking, or, some "happy little accident" if there was no way to leave would have been the clever choice.

I personally would have concerns that North Korea - or more precise its leader - could take such actions personally and could strike back in a more... ehm... "direct and personal" fashion...

Time to retreat from the net until the dust settled... there will be dragons

If this would be the case: Thank you for creating a job opportunity for more open minded people ;-)
