So it seems a wreckless U.S. administration is indeed to blame for death of 123 Iranian children...

@jonsnow@mastodon.online @ReggieHere@mastodon.social I assume using windows is like being in an abusive relationship, and similar reasons apply in regards to why people don't leave?

@Tutanota@mastodon.social I'm against AI, but I am for ML.
To me AI is techbro hype about a generic model running on planet destroying hardware.
Whereas ML, is something much smaller, and targeted.
Searching for cures for cancer needs specific data sets to work on, not all the stolen data a techbro can possibly get by repeatedly scraping every server on the planet.
So to argue, as some do, that we need AI for the answer to our problems, is missing a big part of the picture.

@LaChasseuse@mastodon.scot I wonder if this has anything to do with https://social.ainmosni.eu/@ainmosni/statuses/01KY7AXWNT7PZHS2T5JFNT04ZP and the destruction of knowledge outside of so called AI?

The fact that they want this data is reason enough for concern!
That they want it enough to do deals with it is worrying!
Then add in their latest attack on any thinking they don't like and it's VERY worrying!

Don't tax the rich, take all of their wealth, and make it illegal to hold such wealth ever again!

I don't see it as being dark at all. It just suggests not getting a good nights sleep.

@meganL@mas.to I gave up using encrypted e-mails, only tech people I'd never meet used it too.
I have luck getting friends and family onto Matrix though.

That is clearly true, yet they exsist.
Is this a failing of us, the common people, or of the human condition, of which we are all affected by?
And of course... what to do?

@Christo_459 I seriously doubt that that is enough. In fact I think it is an idea put about because it is more palatable to the public than what is really needed, laws to stop the accumulation of such wealth.
It maybe a good first stepping stone I guess.
Mind you, such laws would need to be world wide, and that will be tricky.

@bremner@mathstodon.xyz @welshpixie@mastodon.art I have a Canon pro 9000 that is A3 and can print on card.
The print quality is outstanding.
That model is out of date now, but there should be a similar version if you want new.
I never did calibrate it for Linux, but it should be possible with something like a Colormunki, Argyll, and DisplaCAL.
There is also TurboPrint, a German, proprietary app that looks very good.
I've used the trial version, but never had 'a calibration'.
https://www.turboprint.info/
There should also be a CIS, (constant ink system), available if you do a web search or look on eBay.
Sorry this is quite vague, I haven't done any printing for a while.
