That and every command preceded by sudo.

Yes, newer cars are safer, there are tradeoffs. No, older cars aren't deathtraps but you can collect your comission from Honda now.

The very same model, yes.

Who cares?

Surprised no one.

Legally?

Depending on the crash you could be unable to reach for the phone.

A hammer is great for hammering nails... and heads.

Humans, eh?

Don't get your idealism in a frenzy. The EU has been passing some interesting privacy laws recently, but politics is politics and the EU isn't immune to lobbying, corruption and incompetence.

Still way better than the US, i'll give you that.

Don't buy a new car, there, FTFY.

Who wants to buy / drive a 10 yo car though…

I do. Less built-in obsolescence, let spyware, less vendor lock-in. More durability. Ain't ditching my '97 Fiat anytime soon.

Only muricans get to spy on muricans! Now let's do like the commies and nationalize TikTok so it too can be murican and then it's ok for it to spy on muricans!

I'm pretty sure there's a limit.

I was expecting them to align the atoms like diamond, turns out it was potassium.

And, of course, capitalism fucked up everything as usual.

A traditional dress is not a religious dress,

Point taken.

On a footnote: why should the concept of a traditional dress be offensive?

Ain't to me, couldn't care less. I was just trying to point out that most Indians do not seem to wear turbans (and based my reasoning on the religions dress alone).

You don’t think nearly 1/6th is statistically significant?

For statistics' sake? Yes.

For the LLM bias? No.

So the LLM answers what's relevant according to stereotypes instead of what's relevant... in reality?

A traditional outfit

How traditional? How statistically relevant is it? Most Indians i know do not wear turbans at all.

If these stats are trustworthy (and i think they are), the only Indians that wear turbans are Sikhs (1.7%) and Muslims (14.2%). I'd say 15.9% is not statistically significant.

There are a lot of men in India who wear a turban, but the ratio is not nearly as high as Meta AI’s tool would suggest. In India’s capital, Delhi, you would see one in 15 men wearing a turban at most.

Probably because most Sikhs are from the Punjab region?

Proton's mails are encrypted... between proton accounts. Send an email to a hotmail account and bye-bye encryption. Proton does rely on PGP so you can use that if the recipient supports it.
