The internet is still relatively new. The generations that don’t understand it still govern.
I think the millennials will be its last hope, because they remember the world without it, were young enough to understand it when it became popular and aren’t yet old enough to have forgotten how much more fun it used to be.
If that nostalgia finds its way into meaningful regulations, it’d be nice.
If you think the human race as a collective organism, the internet is the nervous system. Suddenly we have eyes to see and ears to hear, we feel pain through it, we form collective thoughts and organize actions.
We have collective intrusive thoughts and impulses, we store our memories there and we train it to anticipate and predict using prior knowledge and reasoning, as we do.
We need to take care of it and feed it correct information or it’ll become erratic and stagnant.
I predict it’ll be splintered into pieces and from them something new will emerge.
Tech in general is peaking in performance and and so it must differentiate in features to be competitive
A years-long war of attrition, guerilla warfare and cannon fodder in 4K HDR Dolby Atmos, for every country without nuclear deterrence, either by themselves or an allied nation (France mostly).
Europe needs to put serious money in chip fabs and counter-drone technology cause if Ukraine falls and Russia seizes their drone factories the drones are gonna be flying in by the thousands.
Toner is cheaper if you have a laser black only, lots of pages per refill.
At work I’ve installed 10 color inkjet epson L6460 printers 2-3 years ago and most of them I still haven’t refilled.
They come with 2 bottles of black ink and one of everything else, last forever, will print after 4 months unused if you do a print head cleaning (a few times in a row) and the Epson brand bottles are 8 - 12 bucks each.
For home use a cheaper Ecotank would probably serve you just as well.
Trump’s “Board of Peace” is intended as basically official world police and several countries have signed up for it because they want to actively enforce “peace” towards anyone they disagree with.
The UN will never succeed in anything useful unless their resolutions carry economic or military weight.
