maynarkh,

I’m not into the topic too much, is Nextcloud the obvious alternative?

maynarkh,

I’ve seen people speculate he’s being insane to rule himself out as a possible alternative so that Putin does not kill him. Otherwise if he was a viable alternative, sanctioned oligarchs might decide to off Putin and get Medvedev in to get the sanctions lifted.

maynarkh,

There is, it’s just a lot less accessible and I would assume a lot less expensive.

Bank robbers would have guns in Europe, but ypur average guy breaking and entering won’t.

maynarkh,

Bush was worse for the world, Trump was worse for the US.

maynarkh,

What makes you think the EU is for internet monopolies after the DMA?

maynarkh,

I live in the Netherlands. There are so many bikes there is traffic jams out of bikes, there are piles of bikes everywhere.

No, you don’t need traffic lights for bikes, only if there are high speed heavy vehicles. I wouldn’t even say it’s just the heaviness, it’s the heaviness coupled with speed that makes them necessary.

maynarkh,

Maybe we shpuld start training drivers more rigorously then.

maynarkh,

From a comment in the article:

Nothing like an authentication provider announcing a major breach at end of day on Friday to get your IT nerves fraying.

Not like they specifically announced it on Friday so that the media response to this is minimal.

maynarkh,

And bangs! They make it so that ddg is the only sensible choice for default search.

If I need to search on google for some reason, I can just append !g. If I want to look for Youtube videos, I append !yt. I can even search for grocery prices directly with !appie.

maynarkh,

Oh, CC got killed? My day just got better then.

maynarkh,

See how Breton never mentions pro-Hamas content, but the article acts as if he took a side.

maynarkh,

I love that “innovation” with big US companies always means acquiring another company. Not like EA is a big innovator either.

It always reminds me of this.

Californians will be able to delete all personal online data with first-in-US law (www.theguardian.com)

The new bill reinforces that all data brokers must register with the California privacy protection agency, and it requires the CPPA to establish an easy and free way for Californians to request that all data brokers in the state delete their data through a single page, regardless of how they acquired that information. If data...

maynarkh,

But the jobs! And the growth! The stocks! 401k!

Why is no one thinking about the Line? /s

maynarkh,

Can they just move the assets out to some random far-away jurisdiction? Say “we collect the data, but we actually sell it to this company in Panama and they have it, so we can’t give it to you”.

maynarkh,

Yeah, when I had a Mac it felt like a big smartphone, and it’s pretty good at being that.

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.

maynarkh,

The EU could have had an effect on it via the DMA, but it seems that not many people use iMessage in the EU. People use Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger way more here, so those are forced into opening up.

iMessage message bubble colors seem to be an US problem.

maynarkh,

I also think single player games tend to be much better on the narrative, immersion and storytelling side.

maynarkh,

Jerusalem. Just to cause even more chaos.

maynarkh,

If they’d cut MTX, it would be a welcome change.

That said, Unity’s new model encourages MTX in some ways, as new buys incur new Runtime costs, while MTX purchases from existing customers don’t. If anything, this encourages a model where there needs to be an upfront cost to cover the Unity tax, and further in-game purchases to make actual money.

maynarkh,

I don’t know if it’s just anecdotal, but it feels like a lot of content is moving to Youtube. People make a 10+ min video out of what used to be a paragraph on a wiki site.

maynarkh,

So the news is that someone from DK claims that they know about an audio recording that someone from Fidesz tried to bribe someone from MKKP to help split the vote against the opposition.

Just a few facts to give people not familiar with the matter some perspective:

  • DK is the party built solely around the person of previous prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsány, whose government’s incompetence got Orbán into power with a constitutional supermajority in the first place.
  • After the election loss, his person became toxic, which caused numerous party splits, among them the very creation of DK itself splitting from the election loser MSZP.
  • Since he still has a relatively small, but die-hard following, and he doesn’t step back from politics despite him being one of the most hated politicians in the country, he keeps the opposition fatally divided.
  • And because the country is technically a two party system, he makes sure that no viable opposition party can rise as a challenger to Fidesz. In return, the government keeps him in power by using him as a boogeyman, so he alone gets publicity as an alternative to the government, purely because he has no chance at winning.

So yeah, the people complaining here are also “part of the system”, and without knowing more, my first instinct is that DK wants to smear their rival MKKP candidate with this affair. These guys lie as a matter of course, and it’s widely held that they are just as bad by intention as the current government, they are just also too incompetent to steal so efficiently.

maynarkh,

West coast (basically california): hollywood, progressivism, new money, asian-pacific food influences, hippies, poop, surfing

One of these is not like the others.

maynarkh,

Isn’t this it? store.steampowered.com/steamos/buildyourown

maynarkh,

The breaking point will be catastrophic.

No it won’t. This thing won’t go out with a bang, it dies with a whimper. It looks like people slowly slipping, avenues of social mobility slowly narrowing, new generations getting dumber, your bills getting higher and you being able to afford less and less. And there is no “breaking point”. By the time you end up on the street, many others will already be there for whom noone wanted to rock the boat. And not many will want to do so for you either.

Just look at news from Hungary for a while, that’s how it looks like when the money runs out and can’t flow up anymore.

maynarkh,

TBH that would explain the decision. Pump up the projected revenue numbers right before an acquisition and exit.

maynarkh,

No, repeated extrapolation results in eventually making everything that ever could be made, constant interpolation would result in creating the same “average” work over and over.

The difference is infinite vs zero variety.

maynarkh,

So did Windows at one point at least.

maynarkh,

There absolutely were non free language compilers at some point. If we hadn’t had tjings like GCC, it’d be a different world.

Just look at Apple, they always asked money for XCode.

maynarkh,

What the fuck

maynarkh,

It’s not just that. Apple can’t self preference their own app store on iOS for example. They not just have to allow other app stores or just installing stuff, they also can’t have their own store as a default. They also have to enable people to use browsers other than Safari.

maynarkh,

What happens if the customers is found to be infringing, and is also forced to cease and desist, so delete code generated by Copilot?

Or if their code is mandated to be open sourced to comply with the GPL?

maynarkh,

Anti RPG cages protect armoured vehicles. Planes are squishy. AA missiles explode in their general direction and bring them down with sprays of shrapnel.

Improper painting can damage and ground an airplane. These tires don’t do squat IMO.

maynarkh,

Yes, they are doing both. The list of entities covered by the DMA dropped today.

maynarkh,

DMA actually.

Transgaz Romania takes over all Gazprom operations in the Republic of Moldova, including Transdniestria (tvrmoldova.md)

Operatorul național de transport al gazelor naturale din România, Transgaz, prin filiala sa Vestmoldtransgaz, este pe ultima sută de metri până la preluarea integrală a acestor operațiuni în Republica Moldova, inclusiv în regiunea separatistă Transnistria, conform declarațiilor directorului general al Transgaz, Ion...

maynarkh,

What does this change in practice? Is it the Russians selling off their gas infrastructure for short term liquidity? Or are they trying do dodge sanctions in some way?

maynarkh,

The people replying might be bots too.

maynarkh,

codeberg.org

FLOSS dedicated Git hosting in Germany, it’s a Gitea instance AFAIK.

maynarkh,

Stupid question, couldn’t instances just say they don’t allow scraping specifically from Facebook in their ToS and then report them for GDPR violations if they do?

As in say that have the ToS says that “we’ll give your data to other instances because that’s how the Fediverse works, we won’t give your data to Facebook” and also “Facebook is not allowed to federate, and is not allowed to pull data”.

Then just say that your data subjects don’t consent to any data pulling by Facebook, and Facebook scraping your system even through ActivityPub is a violation of GDPR.

maynarkh,

Yeah, that should be possible, back it up with the GDPR as well.

maynarkh,

Only East German ones. Then the pigs eat some rotten parts off of them, and the remainder is reassembled into fewer cars. The circle of life. The last people on this planet will still be driving a Trabi.

maynarkh,

Yeah, but the story there is that most people didn’t get smuggled out.

I know it’s anecdotal, but if you read writers of that era, a lot of biographies end up with “and he died in a concentration camp”.

Or the poet whose last work was the poem “Forced March”. He didn’t make it to the camp, died in a ditch.

Most people affected didn’t make it out, and most people didn’t have the courage to help.

maynarkh,

He also got prosecuted way faster. Four days after his coup attempt he was arrested.

maynarkh,

Wtf is happening in the US? Here I get an advertised monthly price for my subscription, I set up a direct deposit for that exact amount, when I buy it, then forget about it.

Maybe there is a commencement fee one time for the equipment they give me or work they do, but that’s all.

How is it legal to advertise and agree on a price, then send random bills?

Linux 6.6 To Better Protect Against The Illicit Behavior Of NVIDIA's Proprietary Driver (www.phoronix.com)

Luis Chamberlain sent out the modules changes today for the Linux 6.6 merge window. Most notable with the modules update is a change that better builds up the defenses against NVIDIA’s proprietary kernel driver from using GPL-only symbols. Or in other words, bits that only true open-source drivers should be utilizing and not...

maynarkh,

As long as they get support for it. Big corps don’t buy anything without 7 layers of scapegoats to point at.

maynarkh,

You realize you are on a social media platform primarily funded by the European Union right?

Jokes aside, it’s not like the same argument ever comes up if the new is about US internal laws about net neutrality or their ISPs having to tell customers what they bill.

maynarkh,

Net neutrality and US ISP billing shenanigans don’t imact me, nor do they impact the rest of the planet.

Amazon CEO reportedly told remote employees: ‘It’s probably not going to work out’ - The Verge (www.theverge.com)

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently told employees that those who do not want to return to the office at least three days a week should consider finding employment elsewhere. According to a recording obtained by Insider, Jassy stated “It’s past the time to disagree and commit,” adding that if employees cannot commit to the new...

maynarkh,

You can get reasonably big, but in most Western markets public companies who are owned by the same few institutions have a controlling anticompetitive share.
