Solange rechzeitig vor der nächsten Wahl neue Lügen und leere Versprechungen aufgetischt werden und es zur Wiederwahl reicht hat es seinen Zweck doch erfüllt. Dass Wähler ihre Entscheidung mal vom Verhalten in der Vergangenheit abhängig machen anstatt von Marketing-/Propagandablabla auf bunten Plakaten ist ja bisher noch nicht unbedingt eingetreten.

Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers. (lemmy.world)

So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the “x” and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the “Report issue” only for the dialogue box not to work....

float,

Just use the piped.video frontend.

I didn’t even know about the others, thanks :-)

CIA publicly acknowledges 1953 coup it backed in Iran was undemocratic as it revisits 'Argo' rescue (apnews.com)

While revealing new details about one of the most famed CIA operations of all times — the spiriting out of six American diplomats who escaped the 1979 U.S. Embassy seizure in Iran — the intelligence agency for the first time has acknowledged something else as well....

float,

I think you could add most Latin American countries to that list.

I still hoping JpegXL will get some traction. The fact that it was removed from Chrome looks bad but they’ll most likely add it again if it does. It’s by far the best of all of them.

There aren’t many distro with a base system as tiny as Arch. It’s not a bad choice at all. It’s on my server since many years, working perfectly reliable. Everything except the base system is inside Podman containers. Why not?

float,

While I don’t agree with your first point from my experience, the second one is very true. Especially for memory consumption, your typical Java app easily occupies five times as much as something more bare metal.

sftpgo is a nice project to host files in a secure way without too much hassle.

An offline version of Wikipedia would be handy though.

Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple (www.theverge.com)

Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

float,

Wikipedia sais WhatsApp was released 2009, two years before iMessage. So the idea wasn’t new and they most likely didn’t lock out Android users by accident.

The Tesla comparison would work better this way: while you’re driving to another Tesla owner’s place, you’re having a smooth ride, no bumps, car works as expected. Then you put your other friends address into into the navigation and the radio switches to noisy FM and one of the headlights starts to flicker. It’s lock-out because no non-iphone user can join that club. It’s not lock-in, because every iphone user could easily switch to one of the “cross-platform” messangers. Not that I like Google. They’re both sh*t. But just opening up your infrastructure for others doesn’t mean you have to develop and maintain apps for other OSes.

float,

I can only tell you about Europe, because nobody here seems to use imessage. SMS are basically dead since the first generation of smartphones came out. They are used for OTP codes from banks sometimes but that’s it. The only reason why people use SMS in the US seems to be Apple. They didn’t make SMS worse than they were (which would be hard to achieve), but they basically force people to keep using them. Well, or abandon their apple friends. For the API, I think Apple could afford that, honestly. They don’t have to handle the data between Android phones if they support some form of federation. Only between Apple and Apple, and Apple and Android. Your operator also handles SMS when they go to or come from other operators. I think Apple just likes the peer pressure they seem to create with that app in the US. From a business perspective that might be smart, sure. Still, very malicious behavior. I’m glad there’s more and more regulation coming up (at least in the EU). If imessage wasn’t a niche here, they’d have to comply.

float,

It doesn’t make sense for them to do because their customers don’t seem to care.

“Malicious” implies intent.

It’s just a guess but all of Googles failed messengers were probably available for iOS, too. Apple on the other hand is known to intentionally make things incompatible with other brands.

Unity CEO John Riccitiello is retiring, effective immediately (arstechnica.com)

John Riccitiello, CEO of Unity, the company whose 3D game engine had recently seen backlash from developers over proposed fee structures, will retire as CEO, president, and board chairman at the company, according to a press release issued late on a Monday afternoon, one many observe as a holiday.

Once you slightly climb the career ladder, vocabulary turns into marketing bs. Suddenly you most not say “problem” anymore. They’re “opportunities” or “challenges”. So at that level you don’t get “fired” because that would sound bad for the next company you’re going with. You’re looking for new challenges elsewhere. Leaving behind a dumpster fire like in this very case.

I think that’s for LGPL. For GLP any form of linking requires the code to be licensed under GPL, too. The dynamic linking except isn’t that bad of you think about it. It gives you the freedom to update or replace the library at any time. For security critical libs (TLS, GPG, …) that’s a big plus.

Du musst verstehen, man kann nicht für jedes Gesetz den Schutz der Kinder als Begründung nehmen. Die sind im Moment schon durch die Untergrabung der Verschlüsselung belegt. Außerdem haben diese Kinder nicht die FDP gewählt, sind also selbst Schuld dass diese sie nicht vertritt. Am wahrscheinlichsten hat aber einfach ein Pro-Zigaretten-“Lobbyverein” ein paar Scheinchen springen lassen.

The “effective due” is probably even negative because the extra money they’ll fight for will be more than the due.

They also knew they shouldn’t give him a keyboard because he’d crash that thing in no time while bragging about how much he knows about IT and all the FANG tech leads who told him how knowledgeable he is.

No trash, happy people, everyone minding their own business. That must really piss of the conservatives.

Geht auch ohne Einstichstelle. Vielleicht hat jemand seine Globulis vergiftet. Paarmal mehr verdünnt oder zu oft geschüttelt oder so.

Not a remake but I think another addon for Diablo 2 would still be awesome.

Das hat bei der Fußball WM ja schon so gut geklappt.

If a penalty is “worth it”, it’s a business decision, not a penalty. Add a zero or two if you want it to work as intended.

float,

Crazy of you think about it. Kind of sad actually.

float,

I second this. People usually recommend Ubuntu for beginners which I can somewhat understand because it’s super easy to get started. But the downside is that you’ll most likely stay a beginner and don’t understand the absolute basics of a Linux based OS because, well, most of the time you don’t have to. Then you make a beginner’s mistake once and there you go.

Linksunten.indymedia: Polizei scheitert bei Entschlüsselung von Macbook Pro (www.golem.de) German

Die baden-württembergische Polizei ist offenbar mit dem Versuch gescheitert, ein bei einer Razzia beschlagnahmtes Macbook Pro zu knacken. Weil es nicht gelungen sei, an die verschlüsselten Daten heranzukommen, habe das Landeskriminalamt das Gerät nach rund acht Wochen wieder zurückgegeben, berichtete die betroffene...

Es ist gut möglich, dass es eine Backdoor in der Hardware gibt. Deutschen Behörden würde Apple aber sicher nicht aushelfen. In den USA ist der Druck auf die großen Konzerne allerdings ziemlich groß. Würde deshalb pessimistischerweise annehmen dass das bei allen TPM Chips und ähnlichem der Fall ist. Allerdings müsste man schon ein ziemlich dicker Fisch sein um die NSA oder das FBI auf sich zu ziehen.

T480s user here. It’s perfectly fine, too. I think it went downhill from the 90-series onwards.

Es fehlt eindeutig ein Kreuz oder sonstiges christliches Symbol. Also nicht dass man wirklich eine rechtsverbindliche Begründung bräuchte um jemanden vorsorglich ins Gefängnis zu stecken in Bayern. Aber irgendwas muss man in das Feld auf dem Dokument ja eintragen.

He’s definitely right about the overtime and students.

There’s OsmAnd and Organic Maps (and probably more). Both are open-source apps, use Openstreemap data, and work offline. You can get OsmAnd+ for free on F-Droid. If you want support the devs you can buy it in the Play Store. There’s also a free but limited version there.

I think there’s sauce on your screen.

German content is mostly on Sharehosters or One-Click-Hosters or whatever you call them. I really don’t know why because they are expensive and worse than the other options. I know BitTorrent is not popular in Germany because of the law but the Usenet could be the better option if it was more popular.

float,

Which indexer is that if I may ask (for a friend)? 😁

float,

Danke :-)

float,

You still have to install that annoying Blizzard launcher, I guess?

float,

I’m okay with steam because:

  • basically everyone can sell their games on Steam (*conditions apply)
  • it has a (working) offline mode
  • they’re putting a lot of effort into gaming on Linux
  • family sharing
  • it let’s me integrate external games

The Blizzard launcher is just for the few games Blizzard is selling. It asked me to go online way too often. Maybe every single time, I don’t remember exactly. It’s a bit like that Rockstar launcher. I don’t see any value in it besides auto updates.

Wenn Interesse da wäre könnte man wenigstens verhindern, dass innerhalb der EU geklaute Fahrräder ohne größere Hürden verkauft werden können. Internationale Datenbank mit als gestohlen gemeldeten Rahmennummern, Kontrollen auf Gebrauchradmärkten und vielleicht auch hier und da mal ein oaar Stichproben im Verkehr oder bei geparkten Rädern. Frei verfügbare App mit der man den Status von Rahmennummern selbst prüfen kann. Wenn die Räder einmal im Ausland angekommen sind wird’s natürlich schwer.

Das ist wohl alles Wunschdenken. Aber etwas mehr als “ich schreibs auch ein Stück Papier und werfe es in ein paar Tagen weg” wäre schön wünschenswert.

float,

Das mit der kritischen Masse wird das Problem sein. Denke das läuft nur dann brauchbar an, wenn die Behörden mitspielen. Dann wäre auch sichergestellt, dass in der Datenbank nur Nummern von tatsächlich gestohlenen Fahrrädern stehen und niemand sich da einen Spaß macht wahrlos Fahrräder als gestohlen zu melden. Die Software dafür wäre selbst auf europäischem Maßstab gesehen “vergleichsweise” simple. Der größte Aufwand wird in den Prozesse stecken, wie z.B.: wie verteile ich zuverlässig Zugänge an die Polizeireviere und alles was damit zusammen hängt. Audit/Logging/Monitoring/… das ganze Drumherum…

float,

Sind auch mehr Arbeitsplätze. Immer ein gutes Argument. Solange die einem niemand “wegnimmt”.

I’ve been using Arch for over a decade now. On a laptop, desktop, VPS and now it’s also driving Steam OS on the Deck. I had very little problems with it compared to our Ubuntu setups at work that randomly break on updates. Ubuntu is not as bad as it used to be but from my experience (i.e. the way I use it), Arch has been more stable and reliable.

float,

I haven’t tried not touching it for years to be honest. Longest period without a reboot was something between half a year and a year and it worked without a problem. Check the Arch website, breaking changes or manual interventions are very rare nowadays. There’s just one thing you have to do if you start an update after a long time: make sure to update the keyring first or pacman will exit with an error. That’s also mentioned in the wiki.

I installed Arch on my server because:

  • I know it very well.
  • The base system is tiny. Fewer packages = fewer problems. Everything else is in Podman containers anyway.
  • It’s very flexible. I have a customized encrypted rootfs which needs to be unlocked through SSH, not a very common thing I guess.
