This is basically marketing for it. With the quiet part being “we will absolutely make sure it stays powerful, but make sure it doesn’t kill us all”

While it exists in the universe, I wouldn’t really call it popular. It’s basically just a small plot point in a handful of episodes, unless I forgot something

World News@lemmy.world•Far-right AfD win in Germany is ‘grave moment’ for Europe, politicians warnEnglish
3·6 days agoI mean, it is quite significant and quite worrying, just not something extremely surprising
For the party, it is their biggest result by far, as basically every second voter voted for them. Most of the gain comes from voters who voted for the right-wing CDU before, just not extreme-right like the afd
The biggest worry is what they will try to do on a state level and how other parties try to shift their policies to appease more towards the afd voters. Especially CDU has drifted more and more right over the last couple years in the hopes of getting back afd-voters, but they just ended up legitimizing the talking points that the afd has.
“luckily” the results are such a clusterfuck, that they can’t create any meaningful coalition, which limits their power a bit. But also creates the potential to whine loudly about how mean everyone else is, and steer more voters to the party on a national level
also, yes. the party is gaining more and more popularity nation-wide. it’s… a shitshow.
but tbh, my biggest worry is the absolute clown of a bundeskanzler we have, who is trying his best to compete with the other world leaders in his pure incompetence and idiocy
other than that, rewboss did a great video about the election, and what it means:

11·6 days agoDoubtful. The German voting system is quite solid with multiple people checking ballot counting at each step. Citizens can also witness the counting of they want to
The state in question is just one of a couple that always voted quite rightwing. It’s nothing new
Also, the system is way too old for Elon to have any interest in touching it

Technology@lemmy.world•Nvidia is buying Hugging Face for almost $13 billionEnglish
22·11 days agodevils advocate: to promote their own platform through it and to try to keep it as “open” as it is. In the end, they also profit from people running models locally or on a server, as long as it’s their hardware
the skeptic in me: sooner or later, the models will only be available with a paid account, and all external connections to non-nvidia run services will be cut
