The amount of unneccessary, self-imposed damage being done to the US right now is absolutely staggering.

It's a power grab by an unelected oligarch. If this happened literally anywhere else, American media would be calling it a coup.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that it's deliberate sabotage of a Chinese model.

It would be unconscionable to buy US weapons at this point - after literal threats of invasion, we're still considering buying weapons with a built-in killswitch from the potential aggressor? EU politicians need to face reality, transa

How does threatening your closest allies with invasion fit in with "things like that"? How does unelected oligarchs gaining control over Treasury systems with no oversight or legal basis?

As an Austrian, let me tell you: This is a Machtergreifung happening right now. I implore my American friends to do something before they lose their democracy. It happens much faster than you think, believe me.

How do we as tech workers deal with the fact that the leaders of our industry have become the enemy of western democracy? How does one act ethically in such a scenario?

Small nitpick from an Austrian - Austrian German is Hochdeutsch, it's a pluricentric language with three distinct centers - Austrian, Swiss and German German are equally valid versions of Hochdeutsch. That being said, German also has

This is a hostile takeover of US government - by an unelected oligarch.

Why has this been flagged?

Interesting, I live in NL now and the food is definitely one of my least favorite things here compared to other places I've lived. May I ask what specifically gave you that impression? Any spots or dishes in particular?

I'm pretty sure both lyrion music server and music assistant can do it. I'd recommend implementing the squeezebox protocol if you were to go this route. There's already a ton of clients and it also handles multi-room audio. H

This is one of my main concerns with the current trend of shoving AI into everything. Yes, it's a cool new technology and very useful for some things. No, it's not a great fit for literally everything and by adding it to things wh

Basically, a model is always a reflection of the ideology that it was trained on. Imagine you're an anarchist - you probably won't get the answer you're looking for on how to best organize a society from an American or a Ch
