Long Term Planting

by

Context: In the early 18 hundreds the Napoleonic was on going. Denmark was at the time a naval force to be reckoned with. Although not exactly a threat to the British fleet, the British were worried that Denmark would be occupied by the French, which could potentially boost the size of the French fleet. This would in turn give the French a fleet that would allow them to take the British fleet head on. As a preemptive measure the British asked Denmark to hand over the majority of they vessels. However Denmark wanted to remain neutral in the war, and giving a large chunk of ships to one side would definitely have made the French upset. Thus they denied the British request. Following this the British decided to destroy the potential threat. This ended with the 1807 bombardment of Copenhagen. The Danish fought back, but in the end handed over a bunch of ships, after they had also lost a handful.

[Microblog] RE: caneandable

RE: caneandable.social/@JonathanMoAI, blindness, pros and cons. History included@eticadigitale Sorry I write in English, as I want to share a very long article written by an experienced American man, active in the NFB (National Federation of the Blind)much more experienced than me. I write in English quoting him, so he can even reply if he wants to.This is especially for the too much polarized "anti-AI" discussions I hear on Italian fediverse as well ("or enthusiasm or eternal curse"). Spoiler: life is much more complex than this! And very often, folks talk here in absolute manner. Considering just THEIR OWN (sighted) point of view. But the world is very, unexpectedly, diverse. With inclusion implying also doubting a principle considered solid.PS I didn't translate into Italian, it's long, if someone interested I could, but I honestly consider Italian fediverse folks smarter than facebook / tiktok timewasters who just need short texts. #ai #accessibility #blind #history #tech
