From what I gathered (years ago, so take it with a grain of salt), he couldn’t get funding because he hugely miscalculated the distance to India if you’d travel west, like more than half the the distance. Most sailors and scolars knew better, but somehow he got the funding from the Spanish queen.

What you call a good thing, I call green washing.

Still, open source AI will still help the same companies getting richer because the needed computing power can be found in these data centers. The companies don’t even care if it’s AI, crypto or whatever the next thing is, as long as it needs lots of power and bandwidth.

Tell me about it. In the Netherlands wind farms are built, and, on paper, these datacenter companies buy up all of the energy from them. Meanwhile, the reason why these wind farms were built is to burn less fossil fuels, but that won’t work now because of all the extra energy consumption.

It’s not, but you made me google, so I gave you an upvote.

They’ve missed AirBNB and the likes.

That’s what the beer is for.

In the Netherlands, only one book I know of used to be banned (maybe it still is). The publishing rights of the work in question were claimed by the state in this instance, and they refused to allow publication of the book. The book in question was the Dutch translation of Hitlers “Mein Kampf”.

I get that the OP asked a question, but did you have to answer it with this level of detail?

In fact, most scientists throughout history were Christians sponsored by the Catholic Church.

Which is why the dark ages is where all the science happened in Europe.

It could have happened, if Helen Viola Jackson would have applied for the pension.

Are you sure? Because that might say as much about you as about the people you know.

Hedgehogs?

Sure, but which business injects capital in te first?

Regarding the prefacing; it probably won’t even work because people will read it as a “I’m not racist, but” kind of statement.

Regarding the problem you’re stating; I’ve quickly after joining installed a tampermonkey script which allows me to hover over the name of an instance, magazine or user and display a small context menu where I can block them. Blocking certain magazines made all the difference for me.

It’s actually becoming less normal in a lot of places since every creep has a smartphone with a camera these days. Women have found their pictures or filmclips back on the internet, which was not the reason for going topless.

Also, it’s been allowed in the last 50 - 60 years for most countries, not so much before.

They will go bankrupt, but the shareholders will already have cashed out and moved to the companies of the next country.

Will look into that, thanks.

You know what, you’re right, it is time to end this discussion. Have a nice weekend and don’t smoke too much weed, or drink too much alcohol.
