Putin says he would prefer Biden to win the United States election rather than Trump
  • not sapping wealth from developing nations like imperial core countries do

    Oh, like Wagner Group is doing in Sudan, Central African Republic, Burkina Faso, etc.? Good to know they're not Russian. Or are you gonna tell me it's fake news by the mainstream media?

    The global south may feel relieved now, but they are merely trading western colonialism for eastern neo-colonialism. I hope they realize that before they can regret it, like Kenya is starting to with China.

  • Putin says he would prefer Biden to win the United States election rather than Trump
  • Putin is no one's friend but his own. I could go on but I remember your pro-Ruzzia tirades and it isn't worth arguing with bad faith arguments, you'll learn for yourself eventually when, shocking no one, shills like you outlive your usefulness and get disposed of.

  • How is Ubuntu Touch in 2024?
  • I have heard that 20.04 will be supported until 2027.

    Only if its support period somehow got extended, normal LTS support period is 5 years.

    Also in their blog they said they’re planning to upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 base OS when that comes out.

    Must have missed that then. That's reassuring, in that case.

  • How is Ubuntu Touch in 2024?
  • Ubuntu Touch is not even that up to date, really. It only recently rebased to 20.04 from 16.04 and 20.04 will go EOL next year, while there's still no promises on how they plan on transitioning to the next LTS release (I get that they're a team of volunteers while Google is a massive corporation, but working on what was essentially abandonware to begin with was likely a disservice, as other mobile Linux distros can follow the upstream a lot more closely than Ubports does).

  • How is Ubuntu Touch in 2024?
  • Your arguments are right, indeed, though they are rendered a bit moot when we're in a thread discussing Ubuntu Touch, which is like, 10 times more insecure than any custom Android ROM, since it uses a desktop Linux security model pretty much.

  • How is Ubuntu Touch in 2024?
  • Out of curiosity, how is it wrt messaging apps? From what I remember, the only good one used to be TELEports (for Telegram), but if you wanted to use Signal or such you were pretty much out of luck. Has the situation changed?

  • In the near future, it is projected that contrarians will gain self awareness.
  • How do you know for sure your brain is not doing exactly the same thing? Hell, being autistic, many social interactions are just me trying to guess what will get me approval without any understanding lol.

    Also really fitting that Photon chose this for a placeholder right now:

  • Today's date is impossible according to Google Gemini
  • GPT-4 also often just fails midway through writing an answer, while I haven't had that happen with Gemini yet (though I need to use it a lot more to be able to provide a fair comparison in that regard).

  • Today's date is impossible according to Google Gemini
  • It seems more expressive than GPT-4 in general and better at itemizing information, but it's a bit worse at keeping track of context and seems to hallucinate more than GPT-4 (but less than GPT-3). I'm currently on the free trial period so I'll try it out for these two months and then see if it justifies switching over (the subscription is the same price so that won't be the deal-breaker). One thing that it's noticeably better at is researching online, probably because it uses Google as a backend instead of Bing lol.

    It's supposed to integrate with other services, if you use the Android/iOS app, as it can replace Google Assistant entirely and get access to info from other Google services. However, the app is unavailable in the EU and a few other countries as of yet, along with image generation. Classic case of EU favoritism towards Microsoft and not sanctioning it like it does Apple and Google... It's also rumored that the ChatGPT Android app will get Assistant API integration "soon", but it's also not yet available (anywhere, AFAIK). Presumably, even if that is the case, Google can probably add in deeper system-level integrations, given how it's their OS and their ecossystem.

    Which countries don't have mandatory pension contributions?
  • That does make sense. It is a country with a fairly small population, so I begrudgingly have to accept that it has to have some control over this kind of thing, not to overload its public systems.

    On the whole I think the concept of countries in general is bullshit but that's a debate best had in another thread.

    The thing with the children of migrants being denied residency is truly heartbreaking. Do they become stateless as a result?
