p7zip has been around since early 2000’s I think, and the official version from early 2020’s, so I wonder why that kind of info has been floating around…

Not sure if we will even really notice that in our lifetime, it is taking decades to get things like invoice processing to automate. Heck in the US they can't even get proper bank connections made. Also, tractors have replaced a lot of workers on the land, computers have both lost a lot of jobs in offices and created a lot at the same time. Jobs will change, that's for sure and I think most of the heavy labour jobs will become more expensive since they are harder to replace.

Actually there was just yesterday a story about Corning (The maker of Gorilla glass), that was accused by EU for anti competitive behavior, where Corning entered in positive dialogue, and stated they intended to work fully within regulation. https://lemmy.world/post/33255689 Corning, the US-based manufacturer of Gorilla Glass, has successfully avoided potential European Union antitrust fines of up to $1.25 billion by agreeing to a set of legally binding commitments that address concerns over its exclusive supply agreements for specialty glass used in smartphones and other handheld devices.

Why would anyone care about it being uglier? It's WhatsApp. Ugly is their visual identity. If they changed their app to resemble a neon citylight barely anyone would even notice, let alone complain.

I'm a bit baffled by his hostile response. All I said is that I host and pay for my own server. Nowhere did I claim that I host YouTube videos on that server, or that it is open to the public. I host that server for personal use, and for me and a few friends of mine. At most there is going to be two people connecting to it at once. I have looked into hosting a peertube instance, but I've not really gotten around to figuring out how to set that all up.

I actually thought a dedicated car would be a good solution. Of course as an additional car, not as a replacement for a passenger one. Then you could optimize the interior for these robots

I vote for MEPs to represent me in Europe. The same as I vote for leaders at home to represent me in my national parliament. I have never directly voted on a law.
