Nach emotionaler Debatte: Grüne stützen verschärfte Asylpolitik (www.tagesschau.de) German

Vor allem junge Delegierte üben in der Debatte scharfe Kritik an der Asylpolitik der Ampelregierung. “Es ist unehrlich über Begrenzung zu reden, während die Welt in Flammen steht”, sagt Vasili Franco, Delegierter aus Berlin. “Liebe Freundinnen und Freunde, ich bitte Euch. Lasst uns nicht schon auf diesem Parteitag einen...

Ich weiß, das kommt hier nicht gut an, aber meiner Meinung nach hat sich schon länger erwiesen dass Wählen allein keine ausreichende Lösung für Probleme die mit Menschenrechten, Umwelt oder Lebensqualität zu tun haben ist. (Ich meine nicht Demokratie oder Wahlen generell, sondern unsere Bundestagswahl). Wir sind zwar besser dran als viele andere, aber ich denke Emma Goldman hatte mehr Recht als man zugeben möchte: “If voting changed anything, they’d make it illegal”

Greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands in 2021 were 25% lower than in 1990 (www.rivm.nl)

In 2021, total GHG emissions (including indirect CO2 emissions and including emissions from Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF)) in the Netherlands amounted to 172 Tg CO2 eq. This is approximately 24.9 percent below the emissions in the base year 1990 (228.9 Tg CO2 eq.).

Any time I see graphs or statistics which cut of at 2020 to 2021 I get the feeling that the trend is being misrepresented, maybe deliberately.

Of course the most productive comment is the least upvoted one. EDIT: After thinking about it, maybe it’s best to add an explanation to bare links.

It’s double speak. The translation is “We are evil and if you say something about what you see, we will silence you.”.

Are you beginning to see things more clearly now?

I’ve recently come to appreciate the “refactor the code while you write it” and “keep possible future changes in mind” ideas more and more. I think it really increases the probability that the system can live on instead of becoming obsolete.

Man I’d love for that to catch on, mostly so it’s easier to learn. Kids get confused by the order all the time. It’s even shorter in some cases.

Also, the reverse order makes dictating phone numbers such a pain.

Yes. The “tragedy of the commons” is a myth.

Without any limits, individual cattle owners have an incentive to overgraze the land, destroying its value to everybody.

This is factually false, because the land will be destroyed and individuals don’t benefit, not even in the short term. Commons work great (see open source software), but capitalism and power structures abuse and destroy them for short-term profit.

Jummit,
@Jummit@lemmy.one avatar

If this is how everyone would act in their daily life, you would see crime, theft and abuse on an unimaginable level. No, people don’t always do what benefits them “at every individual point”. We are social creatures, acting as a community where the individuals benefit from working together. Although this has been successfully undermined by capitalism and other hierarchies.

This whole concept is also called, the Prisoner’s Dilemma, one of my favorite thought experiments because it shows how being rational can result in everyone being worse off.

Jummit,
@Jummit@lemmy.one avatar

Sure, it’s advantageous in the short-term. I think this is where we misunderstand each other. What I’m trying to say is that under normal circumstances, individuals aren’t maximizing their output. They are just living as part of the community, following the unwritten rules and benefiting from that. (In the prisoner’s dilemma, this would be choice A).

Interesting viewpoint, but I think the applications aren’t at fault: The operating system should ensure that the user has control of the computer at all times. I think you need to do three things to achieve that:

  1. Limit process RAM usage, so the system never has to swap
  2. Limit process CPU usage, so the system never stalls
  3. When drivers / the operating itself crash, revert into a usable state (this one is probably the most complex one)

osu! is an amazing rhythm game. Try osu!lazer, it’s the new client: osu.ppy.sh/home/download

I also like Pioneers and Endless Sky, both space sims.

This might not count, but both Lichess, a chess website, and OGS, a Go website are open source.

There is also Mindustry, but I haven’t played it.

Possible unfree licenses for artwork

I’d still consider the game open source, even if the art is copyrighted.

Dwarf Fortress

Is there an open source version? It’s a great game (also try the steam edition if you check it out), but I thought it was closed-source.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

If you know it will break, try to see how to reduce the damages.

Props for actually answering the question, and with a reasonable language too. Although Forth hasn’t clicked for me personally, and I doubt it’s a better choice for OP, it’s still a unique language design and worth studying.

I guess people forget that ships originally where powered 100% by wind and manpower. Would love to see that coming back in some form, but seems like it’s just not profitable enough (yet).

It’s obviously not as energy-efficient as burning fossil fuels, so it’s a hard sell. Honestly, I just want it to come back for the looks (and obviously the environmental health benefits).

In this context I guess non-natural chemicals? Maybe the artificial sweeteners.

I didn’t think the DMA would affect me for some time, but then it struck me that I will finally be able to interact with all the people using WhatsApp (there are a lot), so I’m excited to see how that will go.

Really interesting thoughts on whether the creators of free software really want their users to be free (werd.io)

I think we have to consider that the principles of the free software movement, revolutionary though they genuinely were, were also set in the same mindset that latterly saw its founder Richard Stallman spectacularly fall from grace. They are principles that deal in software development and licensing in strict isolation, outside...

Isn’t this treating the symptoms, not the cause? The real problem here seems to be that militaries and bad actors are killing people they obviously shouldn’t, but it feels like the article just accepts that as something that “downstream users” do.

I’m all for responsible software use, but I think the issue lies deeper than software licensing.

I can recommend Sourcehut, it’s still free right now: sourcehut.org You will need to learn how to use Git with email, but that isn’t a bad skill to have anyway, so why not.

Do you have a RSS list with feeds from programming blogs you are reading?

I am looking for old-school (html only, mininalist design) programming blogs, that are mainly focused on math, algorithms or systems programming. I also don’t mind a few rants, movies or books reviews, but the content should be mainly technical. Preferred languages: C, C++, go, maybe Rust. Java or Kotlin are also cool as long...

I don’t see how rejecting 18th century-style factories or exploitative neural networks is a bad thing. We should have the option of saying “no” to the ideas of capitalists looking for a quick buck. There was an insightful blog post that I can’t find right now…

I find this question a little weird, because open source software (which includes the Fediverse) was already a very political movement from the beginning.

As for organizing, since there is no main authority or philosophy beyond make software open, it’s up to you and like-minded individuals to use the space as you seem fit.

Jitsi, the open-source video conferencing platform, now requires a Google, Microsoft, or Facebook account for their online service (jitsi.org)

While Jitsi is open-source, most people use the platform they provide, meet.jit.si, for immediate conference calls. They have now introduced a “Know Your Customer” policy and require at least one of the attendees to log in with a Facebook, Github (Microsoft), or Google account....

Jummit,
@Jummit@lemmy.one avatar

That said, it is completely understandable that some users may feel uncomfortable using an account to access the service. For such cases we strongly recommend hosting your own deployment of Jitsi Meet. We spend a lot of effort to keep that a very simple process and this has always been the mode of use that gives people the highest degree of privacy.

Seems like you can avoid it by self-hosting. Still a very suspicious move, kinda defeats the whole point of an alternative to big tech conference services.

Google, GitHub and Facebook for starters but may modify the list later on

Maybe they could support some auth provider from some fediverse app? That would be kinda neat.

violations could bring fines worth up to 6 percent of their global revenue – which could amount to billions – or even a ban from the EU.

Not too shabby! Seems like the laws at least have some teeth.

Ich stimme da zu, aber meiner Meinung nach lenkt diese Argumentation von dem eigentlichen Problem ab, nämlich das Autos tödlich sind, und meistens nicht für den Mensch der drin sitzt. Auch als als Lösung für die Unzufriedenheit sind Fahrräder besser geeignet als mehr Autos.

Also, ich denke Unzufriedenheit und Gefährlichkeit sind zwei wichtige aber unterschiedliche Probleme.

Longtermism poses a real threat to humanity

https://www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2023/08/longtermism-threat-humanity

"AI researchers such as Timnit Gebru affirm that longtermism is everywhere in Silicon Valley. The current race to create advanced AI by companies like OpenAI and DeepMind is driven in part by the longtermist ideology. Longtermists believe that if we create a “friendly” AI, it will solve all our problems and usher in a utopia, but if the AI is “misaligned”, it will destroy humanity...."

Probably because it ignores issues that are relevant right now in favor of some theoretical distant future which will probably never pan out.

Currently reading Deep Work, the premise sounds interesting although the book starts of a little too money-focused for my taste. Finished Learning to Die in the Anthropocene, although it’s refreshingly honest it didn’t really have anything “Everything is F*cked” didn’t say.
