In our country, we use QR code payments. Currently, we have agreements to use this payment method with several countries in Asia. But it’s still infuriating because most online payment and banking apps require Google Play Services.

Not only US credit cards, we also need online payment alternatives. And the most annoying thing is the google play services requirements for every single app, just like this one as an example

I often see this in chat groups, unfortunately it comes from Linux chat groups.

AI bros are similar to anti-vaccine or MAGA bros and they are short sighted, AI is not for us, but merely a tool for the rich to enrich themselves.

I heard a similar story from a friend of mine, that the c-levels at his office only wanted to achieve faster development rather than proper development. And he was worried because the system built by the devs team had become bigger and complex, and he didn’t know how to track down bugs in the source code.

I don’t have a link, but here’s the photo

They sent NG, but many didn’t expect NG to defend the people.

I also saw a photo of an armed protest in Minneapolis following the shooting by ICE.

do you have any recommendations for good MDM software?

the hardest part is the dependence on Active Directory, which almost all governments and big companies use it.

yeah, I know there are open source solutions for this, but they are not as easy to manage as Active Directory.

They need to expand their AI investment outside the US, due to widespread rejection from locals.

Becareful with your water drying up and your electricity bills skyrocketing.

our leaders are even worse. since the early 2000s, we have never had a competent leader. All we have had are “charismatic” leaders for their ignorant supporters. And the current leader is the worst of them all, a former special forces general who also kidnapped activists. He’s similar to his father-in-law, a great dictator and corruptor in our history.

and he didn’t even care about the deaths of more than 1,000 people due to flooding. The response was slow, he avoided criticism, and he did not even accept foreign aid.

yeah it’s not easy, but doable. It takes a lot of effort if you have an authoritarian government., and the Iranian government is a very bad example. Probably they should be more serious, reorganize and develop strategies to fight the government, because demonstrations are ineffective.

And communications is very important for this, that’s why the Iranian government (as well as other authoritarian governments) wants to cut off internet connections.

Also people need to build a mesh network system and use instant messaging service that does not require an internet connection, such as Briar.

Already happened with the ICC, in our country we are trying to avoid the US financial system. The central bank is developing a QR payment system. Currently, we have agreements to use this system with several countries in Asia.

And no matter how good the QR payment system is, it still relies heavily on the Goolag ecosystem. Most QR payment applications will not work with microG.

Would love that, but it’s a hard task, since telemetry is baked into Android OS, not to mention in almost all apps in the Play Store.

the biggest problem hasn’t yet emerged, let’s say Orange turd will use his power to force Goolag to restrict access to the Goolag account for any country or entity for any of his moronic reason.

Those words were addressed to Geoffrey Hinton, who once said this

Hinton said. Biological intelligence evolved to create digital intelligence, which can absorb everything humans have created and start getting direct experience of the world.

“It may keep us around for a while to keep the power stations running, but after that, maybe not,“ he added. “We’ve figured out how to build beings that are immortal. These digital intelligences, when a piece of hardware dies, they don’t die. If … you can find another piece of hardware that can run the same instructions, you can bring it to life again. So we’ve got immortality, but it’s not for us.”

You can use Briar, BitChat, or Bridgefy to communicate, without having internet connections. I’ve only tried Briar, which works with cell networks, wifi, also bluetooth.
