American and English content is much more prevalent and much more involved in propaganda… Only looking at Hollywood and how movies have been pushing American superiority for a while it is obvious that English is a special vessel. I’m pretty sure Vietnamese also have some propaganda bullshit going on but absolutely not with the reach of American / English media.

Isn’t it? It sure makes easier to get exposed to the right tropes. And for much cheaper.

Society still picks up the bill through social security though… even just for yourself…

I could connect all my electronic music gear without hubs. Fun times to get cabling right though.

Yeah well imagine what it is when you are old yourself… having a majority of like aged friends and even older family… no one is ever leaving FB before they are ded :-/

I wish I could use this one in our internal cookbooks… so good

Yeaaahhhh any competent DBA would be crucified for doing physical deletion nonchalantly in an actual corporate environment… Due to integrity issues within one database or across several ones in complex chains. Honestly a lots of the times logical deletion is preferred anyway. And then that deletion request would be propagated via events and then, maybe, possibly physically deleted. What’s the point in those over simplifications ? Makes dba looks lazy imho which isn’t a nice thing to do.

That certainly happens without any ai involvement… reconciliation processes are a very established thing…

Weird shit can happen when one applies right to be forgotten. For some purposes data must be kept nevertheless (for tax obligations for example) while for marketing not (and even then some might argue legitimate interest and not fully deleted all instances of your data). And then the week after some stupid asshole reconcile invoice data with mailing lists and here you are.

I’m looking forward to how AI Act will be interpreted in Europe with regards to the responsibility of OpenAI. I could see them having such a responsibility if a court decides that their product leads to sufficient impact on people lives. Not because they don’t advertise such a usage (like virtual therapist or virtual friend) but because users are using it that way in a reasonable fashion.

Np, I got the opportunity to actually verify the whole info… but Italians keeps me for coffee :) I’ll keep the Dutch for my fishing equipment though.

Lavazza has no parent company… it is apparently still owned by the family. that’s a partnership which is described in the link… seemingly via one of their subsidiary.

Here’s the group structure from their yearly report;

What’s wrong with that?

Well that’s unfortunate. But nothing is perfect and my money still goes to Italy since I don’t buy caps in North America I guess.

I personally switched to Lavazza years ago. I didn’t do a full due diligence but it says made in Italy and generally Italians don’t lie on these matters.

« Meditation » drives me crazy. To each it’s own. Every one needs to find it’s thing. Be it drugs for some of us.

Yeah they’ve first been victimised at large by society ; one doesn’t end like this by living a fun life with lots of loved ones… loneliness is shit. They found something with bits that we failed to deliver it seems.

Yeah I found the rocks and islands… still not very common though slightly more than the sound whatever animal is doing which spells « bé »

I’ll need more guidance… I was there last year and « bé » doesn’t ring any bell.

Only ever saw that one in scrabble though…

Here’s our usage in kWh last year. In summer we use the heat pump in reverse to cool the house.
