@sun the problem with self hosted ai is that you (for now?) are bound to use some black box model trained by $MEGACORP or china.

3d printers should be do-able, aren't there some with open design docs?

drones largely follow from 3d printers imo, the remaining parts are off the shelf items and microcontrollers, not sure how those are realistically banned.

if i would have to add to this list, some means of long range digital communication is required. starlink isn't going to save us.

oh ffs THAT is something to worry about:

EU is going to allow:

- "limited" GMO without declaration on the products, only the seeds have to be labeled.

- areas where GMO are grown don't have to be declared anymore

- GMO seeds can be patented

this will kill (on purpose, i'm sure) every heirloom seed growing operation. you can't make sure your seeds aren't contaminated, so every seed potentially is patented.

@SuperDicq @sun you can 3d print positives to use in metal casting. you can print specialized tools. i long thought that 3d printing is bullshit, most projects are, but there are some very valid uses.

drones are going to be banned for normal people, all while the military industrial complex is going to build autonomous drones which lock to your IMSI or something. without any control whatsoever.

i think llms are bullshit, but i would support if people had self trained ones to run themselves.

@PNS i don't think she'd like those men going violent over politics, because it would be the wrong politics for her in all likelihood xD

@icedquinn just like the gym. shortcuts are almost always bullshit.

@icedquinn but the number of times i've seen people make fun about gymrats is sad. usually people who have no inclination to better themselves and going the nihilist bullshit route because it seems cool in progressive circles. i did this myself, fortunately i found the exit from that crap.

@icedquinn my initial post was related to something completely different, but why not!

i don't think gooning is good because it makes people sloth, but if someone wants to indulge in this and doesn't bother anyone, goon away.

power lifting certainly is better, not because of the direct effect of MASSIVE GAINZ, but because it has the effect to make one more productive in other areas as well. feedback loop etc.

making fun of people and what they spend their time one is usually a sign of insecurity about the own decision.

i certainly do this myself some times, but it's not a good trait.

@icedquinn @genmaicha yes, but the popper quoters always conveniently leave out the important parts. they never counter the arguments, because then they'd have to acknowledge there IS an argument in the first place. they almost always argue against the existence of the argument.

@icedquinn @genmaicha of course, if the afd uses these methods it's "dangerous" and has to be immediately banned and dragged to courts etc.

it's a bit like when the firefighters do more damage than the fire could ever have done. no one, except the die-hard-progressive voters have much trust in the process anymore. everyone else just expects some trickery and just hopes lightning strikes somewhere else.

@icedquinn @genmaicha the start of this legislative period was already a giant middle finger to the voters: in the last sessions before the new parliament was in power they fast tracked a 500 billion debt packet, because the new parliament wouldn't have the required majority. of course the promise by merz was to not make any new debt etc.

these methods are how politics are now the rule. it's almost more common now to find some loophole and use it, than to use the well trodden path.

@icedquinn @genmaicha technically they will never violate democratic principles as those principles are done with positive law and can be changed at a whim to "defend democracy".

it's precisely what they are planning to do now in germany. just one example, since the start of the FRG, the prosecution was controlled by the ministry of interior. now that afd MIGHT get absolute majority in a state, they want to change this ASAP.

> if I was PM of The Netherlands, I'd publicly state that if any AfD party leader crosses the Dutch-German border, they'll be placed under military arrest.

totally non nazi behavior there.

@CapitalB @scottdhansen unfortunately, the voting cattle decides about my fate as well, if i like it or don't

@CapitalB @scottdhansen they are politicians. some seem to be well intentioned (chrupalla seems relatively sane, imho), most are assholes like politicians usually are.

they just are less asshole and psychopath than the others, all considered. classic lesser evil, but i suppose it will be like in the US with trump where nothing the voters wanted is done and there is rampant cronyism like usual.

@CapitalB @scottdhansen eussr, lets fukking go!

@scottdhansen i only ever have seen 90s "it has too many features" arguments, which is ridiculous if people run containers.

boy people do get triggered by GNU supremacy xD

@icedquinn @KuteboiCoder the world consists of guardrails for normies to not fuck up, and those guardrails make it hell for everyone not normie.
