What you describe might be true for Canada, but it doesn’t apply to all universities. Many universities have two primary tasks: research and education. These are two separate tasks with overlap.

I do find it understandable if publicly funded universities place restrictions on how many students they accept per program as it’s their duty to give back go society.

Ugh, this shit again…

Are there any initiatives out there to call a stop to this? Or even better, initiatives to introduce legislation that forbids setting up this kind of surveillance infrastructure altogether?

So there’s a stable inflow and outflow. I wonder what fractions are dead, wounded (disabled permanently), wounded (temporary), and retired (back to civilian life in one form or another, likely traumatized).

Alternatively, Russia is building up a massive army outside of Ukraine. That seems unlikely though, there’s no news about that, I’ll discard that hypothesis for now.

Thanks for the very practical resources!

Thanks for your reply. I agree the ‘why’ is important, for me that usually makes things more intuitive

Could you recommend a source for learning how to use the command line? In the past I struggled with understanding the basic commands and the various flags. I’ve found it difficult to find good documentation, but I would like to learn

It doesn’t have to be email. Denmark has such a system, called e-boks. It’s essentially your digital mailbox where you can receive most letters from government agencies and banks (no more paper!). Other institutions and companies can use it too (not sure about who can and can’t use, maybe you can send ‘letters’ from one individual to another too?). I think it’s also possible to respond in some cases.

I think the main gain is in automation scripts for people with little coding experience. They don’t need perfect or efficient code, they just need something barely functioning which is something that LLMs can generate. It doesn’t always work, but most of the time it works well enough

That’s more or less my point. They won’t come out ahead but at least they won’t have to raise the prices as much so they’ll be more completive compared to manufacturers that don’t include electronics

I’m not so sure about that. With tarrifs of over 100%, manufacturers can add over a 100% to the cost of production and still come out ahead… Alternatively they could move production, but that only makes sense to do if it’s cheaper than adding just enough electronics to make the items exempt from tarrifs

I think that’s pretty accurate

My understanding is that these are government to government subsidies, not government to people subsidies. That’s quite different from what the usa is offering

Ooh, nice to know!

It impacts the form factor a bit, but in most projects that’s easy to work with

They wanna make martyrs now?

While true, that unfortunately doesn’t change the reality that many potential new users will run into issues like this

But hey, the more Linux users there are, the more manufactures will be forced to fix their shit
