World News@lemmy.world•Polish president rejects government offer to join Trump White House meetingEnglish
3·2 months agoguy who is not authorised to make foreign policy decisions travels overseas on public’s dime to… make foreign policy decisions??? So couple of obvious themes:
- guy likes to travel with comfort on public dime
- it’s a private bribe session
- he’ll be asking US to kick some money his way to take over the “uncooperative” government

Technology@lemmy.world•Meet the AI vegans. They are refusing to use artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasonsEnglish
14·3 months agoHear me out: what i, this is a plot to boost vegan numbers. Given latest stats huge portion of population does not use or see any use in AI - i.e. can be claimed AI vegans so in aggregation reports those could be viewed as a subset of Vegans… resulting in undeniable truth that 90%+ of population are vegan now

Technology@lemmy.world•Silicon Valley AI Startups Are Embracing China’s Controversial ‘996’ Work ScheduleEnglish
10·4 months agothat probably goes along with that $20M zuck offered to AI professionals. Yeah, we’ll pay you $20M a year, you’ll be spent around 6mon into the job your productivity will be 60% so… (taps calculator) we get f#ck all for a sh%t ton of money and destroy people… letsdoit!

54·4 months agotramping religious rights of locals is fine, but don’t you dare to touch christianity. Christian churches get tax exemptions etc. I’m an atheist but this is a glaring discriminatiin. You either disregard all religions or tiptoe around all of them there’s nothing in between

World News@lemmy.world•Russia won't end Ukraine war until NATO "pulls out" of Baltics: MoscowEnglish
121·5 months agolooks eerily familiar: recent tariff war drama with asking price sliding from 150% down to 25% . Ask for the moon in hopes to get a pebble. They are counting on US “folding” and US just might… except US is losing grip on Europe so end result will be unlikely what kremlin wants. They have stirred up this sh#t and they will have to live with it. It’ll be an impossible sell for Baltics to leave NATO nor should they ever consider it.

Technology@lemmy.world•Telegram partners with xAI to bring Grok to over a billion usersEnglish
111·6 months agothey will be integrating it on service side if I read it correctly so the choice of client would be non-important
I’m confused: why do we have an issue of AI bots crawling internet practically DOS’ing sites? Even if there’s a feed of synthesized data it is apparent that contents of internet sites plays role too. So backfeeding AI slop to AI sounds real to me.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•mysql or postgresql? Which is better for an Internet-facing applicationEnglish
3·10 months agoMy opinion is that of the two Postres is more “adult”. So if you want to"just wing it" MariaDB would work, but if you’re serious Postgres is a better choice. However Postgres also requires better understanding of you setup etc. So it’s a ROI game - what’s more important to your project, how complex your DB is, what are the requirements for availability, transaction security etc. There is no “better” or “worse” there’s “feasible” and “prohibitive” 😉
I’m not convinced what you run into is a specific podman issue. It’s a resource issue and configuration issue likely. “vanila” podman with proper rootless containers will run as much workload as machine can handle from my experience. My company costomers seem to be running production workloads with it just fine.
Oh wait, by rootless container you really meant running podman rootless? still don’t see an issue though. What specifically are you doing? I mean, what’s the configuration and what’s the workload?

World News@lemmy.world•America’s assassination attempt on Huawei is backfiringEnglish
0·1 year agoThere is no good strategy or good outcome with Huawei. CCP virtually controls any Chinese economic entity and has appetite for “secrets” of the West. Embracing Huawei would’ve been as bad as outcasting it. We’re at the point where I hesitate to buy most things that originated in China.
not at all
I’m in the same boat. So I kill two birds with one stone when I shop for used dumb TVs - they are cheap and available as general population craves “smart”. Can’t loose there. I got 42" for $25 and larger ones can be had for under $100. So even if you’ll buy a lemon once or twice you’re still ahead

interesting. thanks for the references.
