Zuckerberg finally got tired of the METAverse being useless and going nowhere.
But he still thinks he is some sort of visionary tech genius. And he wants to capture the next big thing before anybody else.
If he were smart he would have realized the metaverse was a stupid idea years ago. But unfortunately for him he is not very smart, he was just lucky and ruthless with facebook, and now he has become a megalomaniac drunk with the power of his billions.
It is only months ago he thought he could create strong AI by building a massive LLM thinking strong AI would be an emerging property of massively concentrated stupidity. I think he at least has realized that is not the case.

Russia and China are democracies

No they are not, they are authoritarian regimes that oppress any political competition through censorship, imprisonment and even death. Just like we’ve seen with Navalny and Jack Ma. Try to look up tiananmen square in China. Or just ask a Chinese AI about it, it won’t tell you anything.
You are a complete idiot, and I really mean literal idiot for calling those 2 countries democracies, there are clearly standards for what constitute a democracy, and Russia and China are not in any way within those standards. Free press and freedom of expression without threat of persecution by the government is a requirement.

Democracy is not just about being allowed to vote for the dear leader, there has to be ability to participate in the whole political process without being oppressed.

But human rights? You’re joking, right? Guantanamo Bay.

Now you are just being stupid again, I said it shout be EXTENDED to human rights if we make a NATO replacement without USA, which we obviously can’t do now while USA is a member, because USA nolonger even pretend to observe human rights.

Don’t bother responding. I have blocked you, your points are moronic, and I don’t want to ever read anything from you again.
Get off the meth for christ sake.

OK I honestly didn’t think of that.
Ah well jokes on them, we don’t use the TV for porn.

The standard for NATO has always been to only accept democracies.
I see no reason why we would change that requirement for a new alliance.
I’d even go so far as to make respect of human rights a demand too like we have in EU, so we for instance exclude countries with death penalty.

There needs to be common values that we want to protect, with NATO it was democracy, based on our experience with USA, we need to extend that to include respect for international law and human rights as well as protecting democracy.

i propose the name na2.

Clever, but I don’t see why it should be limited to North Atlantic countries.
If for instance Australia and South Korea want to join, that should be an option.

IDK what you imagine should be done instead of what the Canadian government is already doing?
Despite the aggressive tariffs on Canada by USA, and a lot of disruption caused by USA, the Canadian government has managed to create an environment that has allowed impressive growth for the economy considering the circumstances.

Absolutely, Canada has now even made defense agreements with EU joining the EU SAFE program, and very early on trade agreements were expanded.
They have been very active rerouting export goods hit by US tariffs away from USA to other destinations, helped by the government paving the way for these new trade routes.

I can see from other comments that some Canadians don’t think the government has done enough, but I doubt they are aware of the speed the Canadian government has acted with, these things are very difficult to do quickly.

Look for instance on the trade agreement between south America and EU, it has taken 25 years to make!!
Canada has already made several international trade agreements beneficial to Canada in less than a year.
The fact that they are also looking into buying fighter jets from Swedish SAAB a non US country is also a very big deal. Which I as an EU citizen really hope goes through, because it seems like such a good deal on cooperation on sharing technology and make better planes on both sides. With SAAB and Canada partnering, instead of Canada just becoming a customer.

The net result of it all is that despite US sanctions against Canada, the Canadian economy has grown more than the US economy in 2025!

EDIT PS:
Technically the US GDP growth is slightly higher than Canada, but that is driven by the AI bubble, the real economy of USA when not counting AI is slowing down, as can clearly be seen on lack of job creation that falls far behind the increase in population.

There is no way less than 100 pm can make sense.

In the future light may be a possibility, and light is merely a photon, and you can have photons basically follow the same paths in each direction simultaneously without colliding.
So without in any way being an expert, I would think that if light can somehow be controlled precisely enough, that would be a possibility to go way below what any atom can. Even if the paths need to be directed by atoms.
But AFAIK there is not a practical working model for that yet, although research on it has been going on for decades.

AFAIK the smallest usable atom is about 150 picometer carbon, and the smallest amount of atoms theoretically possible to make a transistor is 3, so there is (probably) no way to go below 450 picometer. There is probably also no way to actually achieve 450 picometer which is the same as 0.45 nanometer.
So the idea that they are currently going below 2nm is of course untrue, but IDK what the real measure is?

What they are doing at the leading chip manufacturing factories is amazing, so amazing it’s kind of insane. But it’s not actually 2nm.

Just for info, one silicon/silicium atom is 0.2 nm.

We use a Linux media computer for all our watching, the TV is used as nothing more than a simple monitor. So if our TV does that, jokes on them, because all the metrics they can get is when we turn it on and off and that we watch through HDMI at the TV max resolution. 🤣🤣🤣

I stopped watching traditional TV 25 years ago, 2nd best decision I ever made, after marrying my wife. 😀

Nice to see a robot that doesn’t walk like it has shit its pants. 👍

It was a smart move by Hyundai to buy Boston Dynamics.
This demo compared to Tesla is way more impressive IMO, Tesla is nowhere near this sophistication in their design.

Exactly, there has to be pressure from the nations that still believe in the international rule of law.

“and the”

And the what???
Also center is not a “wing”.
You don’t seem to have any kind of coherent thought with your question.

Basically your question is “I don’t say I agree with right wing views, but…” You just use however instead. But it’s the same thing.
Also transgender is neither an ideology philosophy or religion. So your comparison to Theism is way off.
There’s a huge difference in believing to have a personal experience with the supernatural, and to have a personal experience about yourself.

scientifically under-defined

You can make that claim about a lot of things, even gravity and especially time, nobody understands time, would you deny time exist?

I would be OK with giving Russia a taste of their own medicine. But it’s an area where I think we need to be very careful, and not participate too strongly in a race to the bottom.

Oculus going to Meta was a major bummer. I might pick up the frame up if the price is right and it works well.

From the Steam Frame page:

No setup required. Four high-resolution, monochrome cameras provide controller and headset tracking. Infrared LEDs on the outside make tracking great even in dark environments.

That’s brilliant. 👍

Not lemmy, but where I live, but my guess is that most Americans traveling to Denmark are more liberal than average too.

AFAIK he was OK during Trump’s first term, back then it was Pelosi holding back.
Now he is making the same mistakes Pelosi did.

Yes it makes you a flaming racist. It is wrong, but it is understandable IMO.
But as a white person, I can assure you that very many of your allies against oppression of minorities, and the atrocities in Palestine are white. Who do you think vote for AOC? I bet Ilhan Omar too has many white voters.

Also it’s not “reverse” racism, it is simply racism pure and simple.

I am not American, but very few Americans that visit here (where I live) are racist.

Yes but more than that, the packages are also too small for use for suicide attempts. So you need to stack up with a few packages first too.
It’s a minor inconvenience, but I’m OK with it, because they claim it is actually working.
I never really thought so much about the time it takes to squeeze out the number of pills it takes to work. Which absolutely may be a factor too.
