johnnyjayjay,

The new one is definitely too expensive for me. I have a phone that I’m not really happy with, but I’m keeping it for as long as possible. After that, I’m probably going to look for a used fairphone. I don’t see myself going with another completely unrepairable device.

johnnyjayjay,

No. “Mi” is just a different prefix than “M” and it doesn’t matter what units you attach them to. Why would it? It’s just a multiplication with 2^20 or 10^6, respectively.

johnnyjayjay,

There is no contradiction. But there is also nothing contradictory or wrong with the unit MB. If I say “this is 100MB”, maybe I just… mean that? No reason to correct me.

johnnyjayjay,

I never claimed that 2^20 is the same as 10^6. In fact, I explicitly said that they are different. But if I use M on purpose, it is not a correction to just replace it with Mi, for that same reason.

Zoom CEO says Zoom meetings hinder innovation and debate, wants employees back in the office (www.zdnet.com)

Zoom, the videoconferencing platform that profited substantially from remote work during the pandemic, is now asking employees to return to the office. Its CEO, Eric Yuan, claims Zoom meetings don’t let people build trust or be innovative....

johnnyjayjay,

The more important thing: anyone can see their posts now. This is rather crucial for a government institution’s feed and not true on Twitter anymore.

johnnyjayjay,

You have to be a complete moron (and pretty ignorant) to believe housing prices are so high because “there is simply not enough supply”. Have you lot slept through the last decades? Do you know anything that’s happening?

johnnyjayjay,

It’s speculative investments, housing as assets instead of, well, housing. In almost every major city in the west there is an astonishing number of empty apartments. In my hometown of Berlin there is essentially one large corporation that owns most of the city as investment. Also, new housing is constantly being built - but not for (average) people to live in it.

You may also recall that the whole thing came crashing down in 2008? Or have we just forgotten what happened there and the effects it has to this day.

johnnyjayjay,

The US is uniquely fucked. What the rest of the west shows though is that the housing crisis exists even without the idiocy that is American suburbanism. The consistent factor across the board is housing-as-profit.

johnnyjayjay,

Time for some ranch !!!

Doesn’t every game engine… well… package a game engine in its games? Isn’t that the whole damn point

RE: Copyleft

The idea of copyleft is that you give anyone the freedom to do anything with your work, with one essential restriction: they do the same for their changes, derivative works etc. Technically attribution doesn’t have to be part of a copyleft licence, but all copyleft licences I know have a requirement to preserve copyright info.

And yes, it is popular in software (GPL, MPL, EPL), but for other types of works there is CC BY-SA 4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike). If you want to copyleft books, images, videos, other forms of text… this is the way to go, IMO.

Some additional remarks, just to clarify:

  • Copyleft is not “giving up all copyright” - copyleft essentially “plays” the copyright system in a way that makes sure nobody is restricting access to or usage of one’s work. Using the rules of copyright against copyright, if you will.
  • In some jurisdictions, there is no such thing as “giving up all copyright” or “dedicating something to the public domain”. Best you can do, generally, is giving users all the same/relevant rights.
  • Most Creative Commons licences are not copyleft, only the ones with a ShareAlike (SA) clause. Some CC licences are also nonfree, meaning they don’t give you all the freedoms to do what you want with the work. The 2 possible nonfree clauses in CC licences are ND (no derivative works) and NC (no commercial use). NC can also be used together with a SA clause, making CC BY-SA (free) and CC BY-NC-SA (nonfree) the two CC copyleft licences.
johnnyjayjay,

CC0 is the one CC licence you can safely use for code, as per the official recommendations. For all other CC licences, it is (strongly) discouraged.

johnnyjayjay,

Weird/confusing name, questionable legality and the website went down a while back (while mentioned explicitly in the licence…)

Use CC0 1.0 or Zero Clause BSD instead. They are more reputable, and all decent “public domain equivalent” licences are… well, equivalent in effect, anyway.

johnnyjayjay,

The Wizard Book is a classic that basically “builds” programming as a concept.

(it is very technical though. So not sure it’s something you’re looking for)

johnnyjayjay,

Poor taste.

johnnyjayjay,

There’s a difference between making a vim reference and “oh, a mourning family message? quick, i must find a stale joke to crack for internet points”

Feel free to tell yourselves this is respectful. I think some people here have been on the internet for too long.

johnnyjayjay,

Diese ganzen Hirnverbrannten in den golem-Kommentaren immer, zu geil. “Also wie in Deutschland” ja Heinz-Dieter, exakt wie in Deutschland. golem.de hat zum Beispiel auch beim Staat nachgefragt, ob du dich registrieren darfst…

johnnyjayjay,

Depends on what I’m making and which ecosystem it will be a part of. For libraries, I use the MIT license most of the time, although I’m probably going to switch to Apache 2.0 for future stuff. It’s a bit more robust and has a helpful licensing framework.

When I make applications (and if possible), I tend to use (A)GPLv3. GPL sometimes doesn’t work though (for example, for my primary language, Clojure). I like the MPL 2.0 as a weak copyleft alternative.

However, recently, I’ve been reconsidering the whole open source/free software ideology, especially the focus on granting unconditional freedoms. I think the view that engineers shouldn’t care what is done with their work is outdated and irresponsible, and it applies to software devs as well. So I’m keeping an eye on the development of alternative source models such as ethical source or licenses like the Anti-Capitalist License.

johnnyjayjay,

It definitely stops anyone who is at least a little bit serious about what they’re doing.

johnnyjayjay,

Das kuriose ist ja, dass das nicht mal ein Feddit-Post ist. Wollen die jetzt jeder Instanz die mit lemmy.ml föderiert schreiben? lol

ökonomisch nicht verwertbare Problemgruppen

Bäh.

johnnyjayjay,

I don’t know how much time I’ve spent in Minecraft, but it’s probably over 1000 hours.

Second place certainly goes to LoL. They reset the statistics at some point but my guess is also close to 1000 (at some point I had like 700 and kept playing for a while).

I don’t play either of those anymore though.

Irgendwann wird einer von denen eine Gruppe von Aktivisten schwer verletzen oder tot fahren. Und ein signifikanter Teil der Deutschen wird es gutheißen. Derselbe Teil, der besessen von Recht und Ordnung ist.

Lists of people by topic: fedi.directoryfediverse.info/explore/people

Mass-follow people by topic: communitywiki.org/trunkOr just follow a bunch of tags

And, once you have a few people that you follow, you can use this to find more based on whom they follow: followgraph.vercel.app

johnnyjayjay,

Pricing is still relevant, at least in Europe (from my experience). I’ve done a lot of low-budget traveling with small groups of students in France this year, and AirBnB was (unfortunately) consistently and significantly less expensive than hotels.

Also, many hotels don’t give you access to a kitchen, which really sucks if you don’t want to spend money eating out every day.

johnnyjayjay,

Ask around

All right. Do you know any for any European country?

johnnyjayjay,

Being a pirate back in the day was also less pleasant than creative media has led us to believe, I’m afraid

johnnyjayjay,

The woman behind it has become a kind of conservative celebrity. She doxxes random people, especially teachers who talk about their sexuality on TikTok and sends her minions to harass them. In the past, she has caused bomb threats to children’s hospitals for providing gender affirming care. She is about as despicable as a person can be.

johnnyjayjay,

In meiner Schulzeit hat die Bravo schon keinen mehr interessiert, von daher bin ich kein Experte. Aber habt ihr damals 8 Stunden pro Tag darin geblättert?

johnnyjayjay,

Dabei sind die Modelle (vor allem LLMs) bereits heute gut, dass sie bei echten Aufgaben teilweise mit einem Menschen mithalten können.

Hast du das Video überhaupt geschaut? Ein zentraler Punkt des Videos ist doch genau das: für manche Dinge eignet sich diese Art von KI, für sehr vieles aber eben nicht. By design. Es ist absolut relevant, wie diese Modelle funktionieren.

Anders gesagt:

Saying that ChatGPT "can't yet provide reliably correct answers to questions" is like saying your cat can't yet provide reliable services as a paralegal. You can't solve that task mismatch with a better cat

johnnyjayjay,

In dem Video geht es auch nur um LLMs bzw den Marketing Hype um "KI", was dasselbe ist. Es geht um ChatGPT.

YSK: If you want faster and less buggy User experience, move to a smaller instance that is hosted close to you.

I have been using Lemmy for 20 days, at first I opened an account at Lemmy.world because you can join without writing a text and waiting approval. I have been enjoying the experience overall but despite the admin teans best efforts Lemmy.world has been experiencing some serious performance issues. If you want to avoid that join...

johnnyjayjay,

Federation happens gradually and changes are usually not visible everywhere at the same time. Using a fully qualified name (or an URL like https://lemmy.world/c/community@instance) you should be able to access your new community though.

johnnyjayjay,

I love German regional trains. This is a very common issue. Happens all the time.

johnnyjayjay,

Naja, Email mit den großen Providern ist hier wohl eher ein schlechtes Beispiel. Weil man gerade da die Probleme sieht. Google und Microsoft kontrollieren praktisch, wer in der Email-Welt teilnehmen darf und wer nicht. Sich heute dazu zu entscheiden, einen eigenen Email-Server einzurichten, ist schon sehr ambitioniert. Zwar noch möglich, aber mit sehr viel Aufwand verbunden, und möglicherweise klappt es am Ende wegen willkürlichem Blackholing und anderen Strategien der Monopolisten gar nicht.

Is it just me, or is the Lemmy search interface not... great?

I've been on the Fediverse for a little while now, but I'm only getting into Lemmy now. I've noticed that it is very cumbersome to follow communities from other instances. You have to click on search, select "Communities", enter the name (but without the instance), find the correct one in the list if there's multiple and then...

johnnyjayjay,

Depends on how/where you're looking for them. Do you have an example?

https://browse.feddit.de might also be helpful as a cross-instance tool for looking up communities.

johnnyjayjay,

Thanks, the second thing seems quite useful, I'm going to try that out.
