The Polish flag is upside down… Or maybe Indonesia borders Ukraine?

Damn I didn’t notice, usually I always double check my links before posting. Thanks for pointing this out!

The base version of IntelliJ is FOSS, and they kinda offer perpetual licenses for their paid applications. If you subscribe for an entire year, you get a perpetual fallback license. It’s just a license for an older version of the software, but you get to keep it forever. https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207240845-What-is-a-perpetual-fallback-license

The free version, yes: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community

we should fight against big tech

I think that’s a good idea in general, not just because of AI

That’s not the point

Just submitted a complaint to the French DGCCRF

Nah it’s fine, your decision I guess. It’s just funny that you predicted what would happen later, and exactly that happened in the second half of the video.

Summary: “overengineered”.

That’s a good summary of the first half of the video. Watch the entire video and you realize that it’s not just an unnecessary, overengineered, wasteful, artificial city, but it’s actually all about dictatorship and oppression.

Furthermore, I encourage anyone here to look at satellite views of Brasília

Just did this, it’s crazy, it doesn’t look like a city with 3 million residents at all.

And I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the pressures prompting the Egyptian government to throw their capital into the middle of nowhere was similar to Brazil in the 1950s-60s: “the government lives too close to the population, what if it rebels against our Rightful Rule®?”. Now if you want to protest against your government, you need to cross the desert. And yeah the government will totally not find a thousand ways to prevent you from doing so.

That’s exactly what’s happening in Egypt and it’s the reason this city is built. I encourage you to watch the entire video, it explains this really well.

If they were actually concerned about excessive relative demographic density, or the development of the desert, they would be creating cities (plural) for people. Not for a government.

Agreed
