@hpod16 I'm surprised by people guessing above 50,000 km. Even 50K km is surprising considering the circumference of Earth itself. I would guess most of it is sea border, probably around 75%+, just by imagining its shape and where the outer border would pass even if we just assume the legal "territorial waters" limit.
@ruari I agree and I wish things were so simple. My company does not sell user data, ever. When we use a 3rd party service we limit and anonymise info as much as possible. Our company website and web apps do collect anonymised analytics. By default we do not check any boxes on our cookie prompt, just the essentials. Even if they're all checked nothing gets sold to any 3rd party "partner". However, we added the cookie banner because our legal auditors said we're at risk, better to have it.
@hpod16 I love the trains in the EU and they're my first choice in travel. I find that Portugal is isolated. There's just the one line between Lisbon and Madrid, no other stops (I live 3 hours from Lisbon). And the line has been broken for years now. I drive 3 hours to Spain instead and take the train from there. Also, missing a competent website to plan the journey, especially when crossing countries. Competitive pricing is another big issue. How can I promote/advocate for EU rail in Portugal?
@AngelicAura @bhasic @EUCommission correct and worthwhile pursuit. Veganism is an ideology, not a diet. And it has many layers and facets. No one is saying the road is straight, life isn't simplistic, it's nuanced. It's still the way forward and will require many changes, not just dietary ones.
@EUCommission I hope that means you'll be addressing the 80% of CAP going to subsidise meat (ref: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43016-024-00949-4.epdf). Where are the plans to retrain farmers and how they use their land?
Additionally, honey bees are disrupting local pollinators. Honey bees as a monoculture and worked for honey are fragile and susceptible to disease, colony collapse, and a chain reaction of that. When they're gone, there are no pollinators left because we've disrupted them already.
Over 80% of the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy supports emissions-intensive animal products | Nature Food
The European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy strongly influences the European Union’s food system via agricultural subsidies. Linking global physical input–output datasets with public subsidy data reveals that current allocation favours animal-based foods, which uses 82% of the European Union’s agricultural subsidies (38% directly and 44% for animal feed). Subsidy intensity (€ kg−1) for animal-based foods approximately doubles after feed inclusion. The same animal-based foods are associated with 84% of embodied greenhouse gas emissions of EU food production while supplying 35% of EU calories and 65% of proteins. The transition towards plant-based diets requires supportive market and policy instruments. This study investigates how and the extent to which public funds support animal agriculture by tracking subsidy flows related to the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy across global food supply chains.
@itsfoss does that mean there are people out there who pronounce it "lai-nux"? It'll always be "lee-nux" to me.
@thelocalstack @caffetino thank you for replying. English is not my first language either so i understand your trepidation. I appreciated the article, I was torn between feeling compassion for your plight and feeling it could be a marketing ploy. I myself have struggled with addiction, which is why I read it in your words. I hope you find a way forward free of "AI". Maybe step by step, like first writing yourself and then using LLMs to check and suggest improvements. Use it to learn.
@caffetino @thelocalstack the data collection is atrocious. But the most telling part of it for me is the "confession" at the end which I hope has been written by the human, rather than a generator. It's where the "author" takes on the mentality of a broken addict. They know these products are predatory, they also assume if they wrote the article themselves it would have been worse, and they feel like their continued use is inevitable.
Is this article a clever marketing ploy or a cry for help?
@b0rk there are too many to list. `yelp` (Gnome Help) comes to mind. `tldr` is a different approach. Then there are "smart" terminals, integrations, and a host of other things all trying to help us execute commands properly.
@itsfoss Misleading title. It's not a "vibe-coded tool". It's a personal side project where he is experimenting with one aspect of the project - namely the Python audio visualizer - being "vibe-coded". When I'm at Linus' level of accomplishment and expertise, I may also experiment with the smallest aspect of a personal side project. When that day comes I hope no one "reports" on it like it's news. Were you paid to publish this "article" by an "AI" company? Is this sponsored content?
