So, we have reasons not to use Signal, reasons not to use Matrix

yes, nearly all possible things in the world have been argued by someone somewhere already

Better than the blockade in Gaza and the apartheid system in the West Bank they've been living under for the last decades.

I don't think it would be a model in terms of human rights, doesn't make Israel's actions any better.

Obviously similar to neighboring countries like Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan.

Hint: It is obvious you are trying to propagandize in favor of Israel. No, no possible answer to your question justifies anything Israel has been doing.

Depends heavily on which border, I think. I live in eastern Austria and don't know any Czech, Slovak or Hungarian despite those countries being within an hour's drive of where I live. For the most part I expect people in Austria to speak German, I don't expect people even in border villages of Czechia, Slovakia or Hungary to speak German; if they do, that is a nice surprise.

Some years ago, in a border village in one of these countries, a child spoke to me in the local language; I tried speaking in German and English, but the child didn't understand either, I could barely say "I don't speak (your language)" in that language. Eventually I figured out he was trying to ask me how old I was, and I could show that on my fingers...

They have a Mastodon account, which is why I know about them, you might want to follow that.

Who is "we"? My understanding is LLMs are mostly being trained on a large amount of publicly available texts, including both reddit posts and research papers.

https://themarkup.org/ maybe? At least that is what they claim to be doing.

I think that used to be the case more than it is now. Linux now uses the same printing system (CUPS) as macOS, and macOS printing has to work or Apple's customers would be unsatisfied.

Yes, I learned English here in Austria and I remember classmates asking the teacher how to say "vorgestern" and "übermorgen" in English.

We didn't learn the words "ereyesterday" and "overmorrow" that day, only "the day before yesterday" and "the day after tomorrow". :(

mission accomplished? That has the same effect as making it private, doesn't it?

The Watership Down rabbits removed an additional 0.1 nanometers constructing their warren, although that was mostly soil. British rabbits have historically mined very little coal; the sole rabbit-run coal plant was shut down in the 1990s.

Under quantum tax law, photons sent through a beamsplitter don't actually choose which path they took, or incur a tax burden, until their wavefunction collapses when the power is sold.

The local police, building inspector, and fire marshal are all contesting my 'safety' assertion, or would be if they could reach me past all the traps.
