iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

George you know exactly how FPTP means and what it implies for the UK part system. Other than the two main parties all others are, almost by definition, protest movements gathering protest votes and trying to move the window of possible.

You are on the parallel track with the "NFTs are bad but it doesn't mean the blockchain is useless" crypto bros from a couple of years ago. Outside code generation and a few specific fields, LLMs are mostly worthless, yes. It harms productivity at levels unimaginable before.

But because DT is a de facto monopoly in huge areas across Europe, those customers had nowhere to go. Yes, this was one of the biggest tech policy failures in Europe in the last decades. Forget AI. People couldn't watch Netflix or download games from Steam. And regulators just let it happen.

TLDR: Telekom accepts only paid interconnections with other network providers, holding the subscribers hostage until they cough up the money. CF however only does free interconnects, and neither side budged for the longest time. This resulted in awful customer experience for DT subscribers.

The long (decade long?) interconnection feud between DT and CF is finally over. The press release is cryptic, we don't know which side capitulated, but maybe the millions of DT customers across Europe will get the service they pay for. @superglaze.eurosky.social I wld love to hear your thoughts.

VW AG paid a monstruous dividend a couple of weeks ago to shareholders at 7.1% yield. They took out tens of billions in recent years. Why is it up to me, the taxpayer to guarantee their dividends? The unions should stand up to capital and make their voices heard.
