How web bloat impacts users with slow devices

Tak sobie myślałem, i pewnie już ktoś to proponował… ale gdyby tak wprowadzić podatek od towarów, który jest odwrotnie proporcjonalny do okresu gwarancji producenta?

Myśl jest taka:

1. Jeżeli producent produkuje szajs z krótką gwarancję, podatek uczyni ten szajs droższym.
2. Jeżeli producent dalej będzie produkować szajs, ale przedłuży gwarancję, to będą musieli częściej wymieniać towar — więc cena i tak urośnie.
3. A jeżeli będzie produkować lepszy towar z dłuższą gwarancją, to wygramy.

Nie mówię, że to zadziała — ale nawet jeżeli jedynie osiągniemy tyle, że szajs podrożeje, to konsumpcjonizm będzie musiał przyhamować.

This still is 🤯 to me with respect to the “fingerprint” of spatiotemporal articulations and how we create information.

This is my riff on Ekroll and Faul’s work from 2011. Here, I chose to make the tristimuli **identical** in both depictions, with the sole difference is that the “disc”is rotated 90°.

The nature of the polarity along luminance vs chrominance triggers a strong probability of “transparency mode” in the first, while very low in the second.

So I guess my question is (sorry this is so rambly, nuance is hard!!)… how would you as an ethical open source project with diverse interests and a community of users with strong feelings around “AI” approach this?

I almost feel like we need to distinguish the current generative AI hype from ML-powered features when it comes to public communication—but *also* lean into “AI” when looking at funding. And that distinction is… hard.

“I am dead sick of what is happening”

Absolutely awesome Member of the European Parliament @guyverhofstadt of Belgium tells the speaker to stick his agenda where the sun does not shine, because now we will vote on more air defence systems to Ukraine. AND WINS THE VOTE BY 515 TO 62!

This is how it is done! 🇺🇦
