Ecosia and Qwant, two European search engines, join forces on an index to shrink reliance on Big Tech
  • Sounds to me you kind of need both. Let’s take reddit :) as an example ; On one hand you could register it as a platform but then you’d need something to index the posts themselves so that you get relevant results for on-plateform content. Not everything needs to be a hammer :)

  • How AI slop undermines our understanding of reality
  • Maybe we could stop giving a platform to the crazies that foster those stories. Both of them; the idiots that see ai artefacts everywhere but also the fear mongers of the sort of the blog here. It reminds me of « be afraid of rpgs » in the 80ies and then « videos games are going to turn teens in murderers » in the 90ies… every new tech has curves for their maturity, cultural & societal fit. We just so happen to be at the shitty times for ai. But eventually the fad will go away, most crazies will move to something else and attention whores will also find a new niche.

  • When should kids start using social media? Australia's government proposes age limit of 16
  • The difference in addictiveness of sugar compared to alcohol and tobacco is largely discussed isn’t it? I can’t source it but I read something about that. It’s more that our society is culturally more accepting of sugar than it should…

  • When should kids start using social media? Australia's government proposes age limit of 16
  • Sure. Plenty of things are addictive as well. Games nowadays, sugar… they don’t get the hammer ban. Where’s everyone’s accountability when it takes the government to decide things for our kids? I for sure will support mine when they onboard social media - in the same way I’m trying to educate them of TV, Games, food, even music… That’s a parent’s job, not a government’s job in my opinion.

  • When should kids start using social media? Australia's government proposes age limit of 16
  • Difficult debate. Not sure the traditional media are so much better. I personally think that educating teens to handle whatever medias would be preferable to a blanked ban. It’s going to be interesting to see how it will evolve.

  • Gamer Lemmings, I'm curious. What's your favorite MMORPG?
  • Ultimate Online is where I have my fondest memories. On private servers, not on the origins one. Loved the people and the skill system where you could be anything. Also getting wrecked by a dragon 3 mins in game was nice. Also pack llama bombing the britania’s bank. Fun times.

  • How do I quit smoking?
  • I quitted few years ago already. I bought a pack of those peppermint like pills that contain nicotine to help stopping. They tasted so horribly bad I just had like 2 of them and quit smoking cold. So maybe go get some of those disgusting pills.

  • [Discussion] Comment s'annoncent les élections dans votre commune?
  • Dans ma commune on a cette saison énormément d’affichages pour de nouveaux candidats et formations mais aucune programme n’est disponible. On sait juste qui est fâché d’avoir des éoliennes mais aucune idée de leurs propositions sur la sécurité des chemins vers l’école ou quoi que ce soit de tangible. A priori ca aurait été discuté dans des soirées rencontres mais perso ca me dit rien d’aller dans ce genre de truc. Du coup difficile de faire un choix un minimum éduqué.

  • Europol says mobile roaming tech is hampering crimefighters
  • Your examples are clear indication that you know jack shit about actual police work. Admittedly in civilised countries where there are checks and due process. Cops aren’t getting access freely to comms. A magistrate can depending on circumstances. And there’s plenty of red tape everywhere. Even telco operators will refuse to respond to a request if not absolutely justified. And typically that’s not when timmy sold some shit to his neighbour. Organised crime, murders, rapts… instances of those with actual victims are not threats, they are shits that happen and needs to be sorted.
