Copyright law would be in the way, Arte content is only available in France, Germany and parts of Switzerland. I have to use a VPN to even get their youtube videos, which are otherwise geofenced.

Communism is a goal, not a government system.

Sounds like the good ole LORAN-C positioning system that used fixed broadcast stations to triangulate.

A regular AI should use a calculator subroutine, not try to discover basic math every time it’s asked something.

No intelligent design, which I suppose makes sense considering the AI did essentially evolve.

And that made a lot of people angry

It’s a pretty good endorsement of the app!

France is a police state in which citizens are all suspects. Cryptography was illegal until 1996 outside of government/military use and it’s one of the worst countries for any hobbyist who needs to use radio frequencies, fly stuff around or even mere street photography. This law will make it easier for the government to crackdown on anyone using encrypted messaging as a pretext to arrest them or put them under surveillance.

Note that the current interior minister and his predecessor both are vile fascist scum.

Yup, pretty much every province now has a good choice of local brews. It’s sad we have stupid interprovincial trade barriers because I wouldn’t mind a case of Boréale or Quidi Vidi once in a while, although we have choice too in Ontario. Beer is proof the universe loves us.

The big US and Canadian brands all taste like ass but there’s thousands of small breweries that make very yummy nectar. Personally I prefer German and Belgian brews.

146 countries recognize Palestine as a sovereign state so I guess Netanyahu will declare WW3 on his own.

I’ve been using the OpenVINO plugins for a few weeks and it’s genuinely impressive. Noise cancelling is one thing, but the transcription tool is amazing. I can create subtitles from conference recordings in minutes and create transcripts of recorded zoom calls, etc. and it does it for multiple languages.

That’s the kind of shit I like using AI for.

Japan has been living in the year 2000 for 40 years

Switzerland is very mountainous and has pretty fast trains too, although not Shinkansen-fast. Swiss trains are expensive and comfortable and the vista is pretty much always great.

It’s technically illegal to consume alcohol in your own backyard if you can be seen from the outside.
